9/2
Hell Hound remains lightly raced over hurdles and showed promise over hurdles a couple of seasons ago, notably when getting off the mark on debut here in June 2024. He was entitled to need the run on his first start for 467 days at Taunton and better is expected this time around.

Verdict
Hell Hound could leave his chase debut behind but the only one who arrives on the back of a good run is Chepstow second FERN HILL.
Fern Hill
Betting Forecast:
6/4 Fern Hill,
3/1 Hell Hound,
4/1 Queens Wish,
11/2 Always Busy,
11/1 Noche Negra,
16/1 Le Beau Gosse
