There are any number of these that won’t last home in the soft ground including last year’s winner, Northern Alliance. Interesting that Ruby has jumped ship on that one to ride
Deutschland
, a horse who’s always looked a stayer, and this is the kind of prize WM would take the wraps off for.
No problem at all with the going, and ran a blinder on his recent flat outing; can’t see the 16/1 lasting very long at all.What soft ground?
Good, good to yielding in places, perfect jumping ground, if a bit chewed up around the home bend.Nedzers Return & Golden Kite pour moi, might take a while to get the national hunt eye in though

Golden Kite 12/1 and Fosters Cross 25/1, both each-way and level stakes as always.
Mossbank is the quality animal but it’s too big of a leap of faith for me.
I was hoping that Swift Counsel would get into the race, but hasn’t happened. My computers so slow at the moment I can’t be bothered to look at the runners properly as I feel as if I’m pulling my brain out with a pair of tweezers, but the safest bet would be Will Jamie Run, whilst worrying about Nedzers Return and bloomin Deutschland [and a few others; well, most of the others..good little race, may go to the bookies to watch it].

What soft ground?
Good, good to yielding in places, perfect jumping ground, if a bit chewed up around the home bend.Judged on times over the 2 days, Carv, of which the quickest (7f) was almost 6 secs over standard, with the quickest NH time 13.4 secs over?
You may well be right though, which would put a lot of horses in I had dismissed. C’est la vie!The Flat course is riding a good bit slower. Not sure about the NH times but visually the ground is fine- could be that the quality of NH animal on show so far is weak?
Swift Counsel gets in and I’m off to the bookies…[will try not to back Deutschland when I’m there…]

I was all for Dancing Tornado and Northern Alliance to battle it out but now Swift Counsel is running…..

Thanks for that, Imp – seems like Ruby dismisses quite a few himself.
I’ve had another look and gone right off Deutschland, I’m backing Alpha Beat, a decent bet aswell, you’ve been advised Venture
Get in my son

Well done.
As long as someone wins I’m happy
