Two early bets for me in this with some related form and both capable of improvement I think.

Miss Manzor 18-1
Cossack Chach 20-1
Both ew 5pl b365

[Venture to Cognac]

Hoping to see Eagle Fang get an entry, but he doesn’t look like one I have to worry about having an Antepost on, even if he gets an entry

JP owned and in France trained Milan Tino dropped 10 lbs. and running off 126 in this.

I think with his course experience he’ll be less than 12/1 on the day.

[Silver Spoon]

Palamon for me 20-1 non runner no
bet

[All Jeff]

I’ll join you Silver Spoon. Palamon 22-1

[Chivers1987]

Recent trends suggest that Rated novice in Feb at Naas has the winner of this race in there somewhere. The last 2 being Jazzy Matty and Brazil.
Some of those that run in the race this year had finished well behind BATMAN GIRAC in a grade 2 previously so I’ll take a chance on him with the 11st 11lbs being off-putting enough to stay away from a decent sized bet.

BATMAN GIRAC 15/2

I’ve gone for Milan Tino

I really fancy Nara in this, but wish Rachael was on instead of Mark Walsh.

[Mike007]

My pin has landed on Milan Tino 6-1 ew 6 places

I have a terrible record in most of the handicaps (Grand Annual, Coral Cup, County Hurde particularly) but strangely enough have backed four of the last six winners of this, and that didn’t include Band Of Outlaws who was favourite.

In this year’s search for the winner I am temped by Fergal O’Brien’s Teorie at 50/1. Has anyone any thoughts on him? He may not be thrown in but won in good style last time and 50/1 looks quite big for a horse coming here in form.

[FinalFurlong91]

I’m on Nara antepost and will be backing everything 30.0 or bigger on the machine

Loads of long shots have won this

[TakeYourTime]

I really thought Kaleosun was this year’s Jazzy Matty and I was disappointed when he didn’t make the cut as I had a fair crack at him, thankfully NRNB. I’ve now turned my attention to Nara but it would be my smallest bet of the day.

[Venture to Cognac]

Eagle Fang was my long range fancy, but was happy to add Mordor as backup

Eagle Fang 18’s
Mordor 40’s EW6Pls

[Cork All Star]

I had Harsh in mind for this race when he won earlier in the season. Not sure about the ground but I have chanced him at 30/1.

I was at Ludlow when Latin Verse won. It wasn’t a strong race: it was for all ages and the two unexposed 4 year olds finished first and second. Having said that, he was 20 lengths clear of the second placed horse with his rider taking it easy. I missed the huge prices but have taken 14/1.

I will probably end up backing Lark In The Mornin as well.

[Wilts]

Liari 9s (MGM freebet)

Bright Legend 16s (BOG)

Both win only
