No bet for me in the first which was just as well as I wouldn’t have picked the winner. Smooth Scotch ran around a bit over the last two but stuck on well at the end.
I’m siding with the favourite Vaucelet in the hunter chase who has winning form here. If I had a Unibet account I’d back him for Cheltenham next year. He’s good and still young.
For the mares handicap chase I’ll go with La Chanteuse ew, the obstacles being her biggest opponent.
Rightplacerighttime to land the gamble for the Emmett Mullins stable in the ladies National with a good pilot taking weight off.
I’ll try Perfect Attitude and Ballycoose ew in the 3 mile handicap hurdle, my crazy little pal Tax for Max in the 2 mile handicap hurdle.
Walk in the Brise in the bumper over this trip as Willie pretty much said Patrick has picked the wrong one and Jody’s horse is going to win.
