BETTING FORECAST:

4-7 Presentandcounting (IRE), 9-4 Hooper (GB), 14-1 Clever As A Fox (IRE), 100-1 Game In The Park (FR)

RACE SUMMARY:

PRESENTANDCOUNTING has made a seamless transition to fences and is taken to enhance his already impressive strike rate in this sphere. Clever As A Fox hasn’t shown much over hurdles this year and has plenty to prove on this chase debut, which leaves Hooper as the clear main danger. Nicky Henderson’s charge has progressed well over hurdles and will be a threat if his jumping passes the test.
