Nigel Twiston Davies is no stranger to success in this race, and he could be represented by Algernon Pazham, Tour Des Champs, and Foxbridge. Algernon comes here fresh off the back of a solid run at Bangor last time, in a very competitive handicap, and he looks sure to come on for that. He was going the right way last year, and NTD looks to have him in good nick.
NTD is confident of a good showing and rates him as one who will love a stamina test. I like the look of that runner up finish at Bangor, he looked like he wanted more toward/after the line.
It might be too early in his career to win this race but the rest of the card isn’t inspiring me much so I’ll take an 8/1 each way play.
Good luck Paz!Great preview btw VTC.
Thanks Chivers
After the form you’ve been in, I’d have preferred to see you going for Soll
Yeah, I always try to have a bet in that Bangor Race, and thought Paz’s run was really encouraging. Best of luck with him.
I usually like to find something at a bit of a price, but I can’t seem to get away
from GOONYELLA and SAINT ARE, and both are at the head of the market, 8/1 and 9/1
respectively. I think that it will very likely be the case that in the conditions,
the finishers will be in single figures and to get round you will almost certainly
need to stay the best part of 4 miles. It’s not that there aren’t a few that fit that
bill, it’s just that without it turning up like a bog, there are others that I would
put in front of GOONYELLA in particular. In normal conditions I would see him as a
running of 4th or 5th, but with conditions right up his street, I fancy he can win
this.There are only four points separating about the first 10 in the market, so things could
easily turn about at the head of the market before the off. In any case my main bet is
GOONYELLA with a little saver on SAINT ARE.I should have commented on this before Bobby, but thanks for a great run down on the
race.Good luck all
Thank you VTC !!
Greedy I know but I think Portrait would have been placed it if had not fell too!!I have backed two 33/1 shots !!
PORTRAIT KING
HIGHLAND LODGEAny thoughts ??
I think its 1:52 in the PM and your day has been made. Well done.
Paz travelled well enough and didn’t jump terribly but Ryan Hatch looked like coming off with almost every landing.
Im convinced Portrait King would have gone close, but for bumping into one of them two out. Definitely goes on the National shortlist.
Congratulations to all who backed the winner!Well done Raymo, I couldn’t have Highland Lodge even though very well handicapped on best form. Looked a right dodgepot over conventional fences. Apart from when racing fresh done very little. Possibly revitalised by a change of stables, but – over all – think it might be these Aintree fences that are key. Even then – needs a prominent position.
Value Is EverythingStunning tipping, Raymo – well done. Portrait King certainly looked as though he’d be involved
