National Hunt Chase will be a good fit for Corbetts Cross as J.P. McManus’s team prepares for the festival.

The Grade 1 novice races at next month’s festival had scratchings, leaving Corbetts Cross with only the amateur riders’ contest as his sole option. He was removed from the Brown Advisory and the Turners. The Emmet Mullins-trained seven-year-old had an unlucky fall at Fairyhouse last week under Derek O’Connor. Consequently, he was cut to a general 100-30 second favorite behind Embassy Gardens for the National Hunt Chase on March 12.
