FOXHUNTER CHASE

4.10: CLASS TWO — 3 MILES 2 FURLONGS

THIS appears a fascinating renewal with Stand Up And Fight and Ucello Conti representing two Irish powerhouses and, with five of the first seven home from last year’s running also in the field, it looks a cracking contest. It almost goes without saying the leading Irish hopes will take some stopping, but CAID DU BERLAIS, fifth 12 months ago, looked in great form when winning by 25 lengths on his Bishops Court comeback a fortnight ago. The selection is likely to be given another patient ride by the excellent Will Biddick, who was on board when the geldings lammed Time waits for noon eat Punchestown. Top Wood gave it a brilliant go from the front last year and could do well again.
