Selected at:
10/1
Wrath Of Hector looks fairly well treated on his best form and currently finds himself on a mark of 48, which is just 2lb higher than when winning easily Yarmouth in August. Following that up with three successive thirds here at Chelmsford, he should be very competitive with that in mind.
