Raregem, Cool Wager and River Bailiff look the three to concentrate on in this hunter chase and the confident vote is given to Raregem. The selection fell last time out but prior to that he had been in good form. He has conditions to suit and need only put in a clear round to score. Cool Wager rates the main danger on his latest win over Porlock Hill but his best form is with more cut in the ground and for that reason he is opposed. River Bailiff is another that has been in form between the flags. He is one of the youngest in the field and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Smart Cavalier is from a top yard and is another that could go well but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Raregem.
