M C Chapman
Yet to place in eight NH starts. Well beaten at 66-1 behind American Cricket when fourth of 5 on his latest outing in a chase at Fakenham over 3m (good) in March.
Listed winner Maoi Chinn Tire arrives on the back of a workmanlike victory on the Flat at Nottingham and is sure to have plenty of supporters on this first spin over fences, but DICA could make experience count. He produced his best effort yet when third in what looked an above average beginners' chase at Sedgefield 10 days ago and is entitled to strip fitter for that first start since October. Kai Broon faces an easier assignment than when third in handicap company at Perth last time and cannot be overlooked.
