Race preview
Benefaktor has yet to win in two starts in hunter chases, but he has a good record between the flags and found only one too good in a Cartmel hunter chase last year, while Rebel Dawn Rising has gone from strength to strength in points this term but his previous attempt in a hunters' chase saw him heavily beaten here, where Barrack Hill was well clear of him in third. SIXTEEN LETTERS gets the vote, though, as he has been in cracking form between the flags of late.
