    I have backed 2 to win. First choice is Eduard who should come back to best following run after long absence & benefit from up in trip. Secondly Irish Saint, similar profile, I wasn’t sure re trip but trainer must be as he says this was the target. Main danger Go Conquer but he is up 2 classes whereas IS has performed well loads of times at a higher level & is 3 points bigger. Respected is Minella Daddy (but also big class rise). I then prefer Le Mercurey to Fourth Act as the latter’s jumping is unreliable. Another Hero is also up in class & may have a later target. Not sure what the plans are for TDN (another tilt at GN?) but think needs more of a test anyway. Hard to fancy any of the others for various reasons.

    I’ve backed Irish Saint 8/1, Fourth Act 12/1 and Another Hero 14/1 with savers on Go Conquer 5.6/1 and Le Mercurey 9/1.

    Great write up VTC.

    Nothing screams out to me ATM so it’s a no play race for me for now. More Of That would be the only one I’d fancy at this stage but still a no bet scenario until we know he’s going to run.

    Player Another Hero at 20s with 365

    I quite agree with the comments from those above

    Added Minella Daddy at 8/1 earlier today to go with Another Hero

    Minella Daddy definitely the bet here for me then at 9-1, and after Eastlake win last week, can Jonjo pull it out the bag with Holywell this weekend at 33-1. I know that he is a spring horse really but I might have a few shillingsxeach way on him today

    Good Luck with Another Hero at the fancy prices guys :good: :good:

    I have actually backed three in this EDOUARD 8/1 FOURTH ACT 12/1 and TENOR NIVERNAIS 33/1 but I am not particularly confident about any of them LOL

    :good: :good:

    Such a shame about Eduard.

    Very hard lines for Minella Daddy, unlucky to his supporters.

    Well done Venture + Battle Group, a great early 50-1 pick with Another Hero and I hope you and assume you were both in each way.

    Dreadful news.Thought he had the potential to become a very decent stayer after his gallant 4th in the Ryanair a couple of years back and connections have been very patient with him.

    R.I.P lad :-(

    Yeah, just awful news about Eduard, and just as awful to watch.

    Seems wrong even discussing the race after that, but quick mention to Minella Daddy, who I really liked for this, and thought he ran a cracker. Clearly a horse to keep on side of. Very unlucky today Lemons.

    Nice shout Raymo with Tenor :good:

    Cheers Buckers, yeah, had him each way, so very happy, but of course, the win would have been nicer. Shouldn’t really be complaining about a 50-1 shot though I suppose. Well done Mom, and hopefully BG, Graham, and Zark were on ew too.
