    This is a race where I normally have an early one, but still whittling it down

    Docpickedme was a rather fortunate winner last year, but in form, and interesting for the repeat

    Probably wise to hold off though with The Peter Marsh on the horizon, and that’s really important with my main hope right now, Grand Geste. Well impressed with him last time, and surely more to come

    I’ll keep betting Digby, but he’s let me down a couple of times, while Aworkinprogress, Imperial Saint, & Torn and Frayed also appeal

    No bet right now, but like Grand Geste a lot

    Final Decs

    Grand Geste too short. Walking On Air the selection just over Docpickedme, and started chipping away, hoping to beat 15-2

    Walking On Air 10’s

    Taken Kelce 15s ew. No weight and it looks like it’ll be a bit of a slog.

    Sarge, I often agree with you and have also backed Kelce at 12/1 WIN.
    But I also went for King’s Threshold at 16/1 WIN only. The form of his Newbury win reads very well with the 3rd placed horse winning at Wincanton by 21 lengths next time out. Emma Lavelle’s stable is just a hot as Neil Mulholland’s both boasting a very healthy strike rate over the past 14 days.

    Docpickedme put up such a game performance here last time he’s my choice, though he had a hard race.

    With King’s Threshold a NR, I went for Walking On Air at 8/1 WIN only.

    I thought Josh The Boss put up a good show last month at Aintree leading on the
    run in only to be caught in the shadow of the post by Prairie Wolf. He’s never
    been by 2m 5f but I get the impression that 3m could be his trip. It’s soft
    at the moment but with no rain forecast and a stiff breeze it could turn out
    G/S which would be ok. The young apprentice, Jamie Neild, knows the horse well
    and his 7lb claim could make the difference.

    Josh The Bosh 15 and 15 1/2 Betfair exchange (generally 11/1 elsewhere)

    Can’t see him defying top weight but Deep Cave I always follow, 9-2.

    The more I know the less I understand.
