MINNIEMUM (1) showed plenty of ability last month when a smart 5.5L third tackling a higher level 3m mares handicap hurdle at Ludlow. Respect on chase debut. FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD (4) brings consistent place form this season including a good 5.5L second over 2m4f two runs back at Lingfield. Stays well and finds ideal opportunity. Likely to go close. RIVER TYNE (3) won a 3m2f handicap chase at Fontwell three outings back among this company. Makes for appeal. MICRONORMOUS (2) can fill fourth spot.
