Baby Run cemented his place at the top of the Foxhunters' Chase ante-post market when annihilating a decent field at Warwick in February. Nigel Twiston-Davies' eleven-year-old is currently 5/1 with most firms and it is hard to oppose him as he looks to retain the crown he won last year.
His five length success last year when being sent off joint favourite was one of pure class and after he showed he still has the quality on his reappearance it is tough to look away from the Twiston-Davies owned gelding.
One up-and-coming contender who could well be an improver is Enda Bolger's On the Fringe. The six-year-old JP McManus-owned gelding was a surprise 12/1 winner when making his first start under rules after making the transition from point-to-point. He was a one-and-three-quarter length winner at Punchestown beating Kilty Storm, who incidentally finished behind Baby Run in last year's Foxhunters. It is tough to predict how good he is but at 8/1 is definitely worth watching for the wily pairing of Bolger and McManus.
