Verdict

WRAPPEDUPINMAY has time on his side now tackling a hunter chase on the back of 2 point wins for Sam Curling and he's preferred to the classy Hunters Yarn, who would benefit from a shorter trip ideally. Chemical Energy and Solitary Man both contested the big one at the Cheltenham Festival and will find this much easier.

10	Useful bumper/fairly useful hurdle winner for Paul Nicholls and though he didn't set the world alight in 2 chase starts he's done well in points for new trainer, chasing home Hunters Yarn then successful twice. Unexposed and a big player. 1st Pick 10 Wrappedupinmay (Ire) Jockey: Mr D. Doyle Trainer: S. Curling, Ireland J: Mr D. Doyle T: S. Curling, Ireland	91	-	-	-	34%

6	Smart for Willie Mullins in his prime. Has won 3 times in points this winter and has made a good start in hunters, second at Naas and Gowran (25f). This trip is probably at the limit of his stamina but he's hard to get away from. 2nd Pick 6 Hunters Yarn (Ire) Jockey: Mr Finian Maguire Trainer: P. M. J. Doyle, Ireland J: Mr Finian Maguire T: P.

3	Back in good heart with a couple of point victories over the winter and he shaped better than the distance beaten suggests from a less-than-ideal spot in the Festival Challenge Cup Hunters' Chase at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. 3rd Pick 3 Chemical Energy (Ire) Jockey: Mr H.
