New poster but long time reader here so be gentle
Nap: Long Run – Obvious I know, but the lack of depth in the race, Can’t see Kauto beating him over an extra 2furlongs up the hill. Only other chalengers I see are Wierd Al (Who’s form you can pick apart a bit) and Midnight Chase who has the best part of 20lengths to make up on Long Run from last year.
EW: Overturn – 33/1 is an insult for this horse when you look at all the races he’s won. He’s an honest genuine horse who’s job won’t be to make the pace for Peddlers Cross this year and I don’t see more than 3 horses passing him.
Lay: Boston Bob (Albert Bartlet) Given the price he is, I’m yet to be really convinced by him yet. A lot of the favs have very strong claims this year so to pick one to lay it would probably be him.
Handicap Plot Horse: Our Mick 20/1 – JLT Speciality Chase. Like most the 3mile races chases this year, this one looks weak. Our Mick has looked in his last couple of runs like he needs the step up in trip. Carrying a nice weight under 11stone I’m sure this race will suit him and can see the little grey at least running in to place money and having a very good chance of winning it.
