Jim Barry Wines Hurst Park Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
2m 167y
Going: Good (Good to Soft In Places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneThis contest seems to revolve around dual Grade 1 winner EDWARDSTONE, who is having his first run of the season after a sparkling campaign last winter. The Arkle winner will have to overcome a mark of 161, and give away a lot of weight to some in-form rivals, but Alan King's superstar chaser has the class in this field and he appears to be the one to beat. Boothill is likely to pose the biggest danger and Jonathan Burke's mount won more easily last time than his winning distance of three-quarters of a length suggests over the extended 2m at Newton Abbot. So Scottish looks best of the rest.
