C.B.Protection Open Hunters' Chase
2m 7f 171y
Going: Good to Soft (Soft in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneNot That Fuisse is an interesting recruit to this sphere having been a very useful handicap chaser last season, most notably when placing in a Listed contest at Ayr, but he was pulled up at Chepstow in October and the trip raises a question mark. With that in mind, ANOTHER VENTURE gets the vote. A C&D winner last season when trained by Kim Bailey, he showed enough on his first start for new connections when third at Cheltenham in November to suggest he could improve from that effort. Hogan's Height, Ozzy Thomas and Envious Editor are others worthy of consideration.
