    Change is small and the reduction of fences and trip could help the race become safer.
    Couple of the conditions taken in were wanted by myself & Wex so happy those have been catered for. Surprised they haven’t looked at reducing the weight carried but happy with the change.

    Mares chase on the other hand? :negative:

    The change to the NH Chase is a very acceptable one and also the addition of a 2m4f Mares Chase. I’d get rid of the Mares Novices Hurdle or the X-Country Chase.

    Get rid of the mare’s novice, the 3-mile novice hurdle, the Ryanair, the cross-country, and cut the festival back to the 3-days

    Richard Forristal is spot on as usual:
