Verdict

NO LOOSE CHANGE need only finish in the first two to qualify for the Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham but is difficult to oppose. He just ran out of steam after a lay-off when beaten by Double Bank at Taunton earlier this week but even a repeat of that effort would be good enough here. En Suite was beaten out of sight in a novices' event at Fakenham nine days ago so Alan Hill's recent point-to-point winner Minella Theatre should be the one for forecast-backers.
