    8/1 Ferns Lock looks fair the way that’s just won at Thurles.

    Billaway is 11 now and always seems to need the race first time out, but this 6yo has pulverised him.

    Wouldn’t be surprised, as same trainer, if…

    Vaucelet – Cheltenham
    Winged Leader – Aintree
    Ferns Lock – one for the future

    So I’m reading, FF.

    But trainers have been known to change their mind and if this one did I think he’d have a favourite’s chance.

    He’s beaten Billaway by further and easier than Winged Leader did in this race last year and Vaucelet, while talented, isn’t always the most fluent of jumpers.

    Ok it might sound like madness but Benny’s King won a Hunter chase today basically with a young lass hanging on , would Skelton have a go here with a decent amateur ?

    In 24 starts he has run once in March and twice in April and that was in his early days
    likes it soft or heavy

    Does anyone know if David Kemp is planning to run Law of Gold in this?

    I can’t seem to find any news, as he is only priced up by 3 firms though I suppose not but he did give Vaucelet a good race at Stratford last year and ran ok in the 2020 edition (along with a stinker in 2021).

    Wouldn’t expect him to win but would like to see him have another crack at it and you never know, this can be a funny old race.

    He’s a horse who tends to need the run first time out and I’d say time is already running out.

    Indeed, in previous years they have started him out in February when the ground gets a bit better so I was hoping to see him entered somewhere in the next few weeks.

    I thought it might be at Wetherby on Saturday but they have swerved that for whatever reason.

    He’s only once ever won first time out and that was a Point at Horseheath, a right-handed undulating stiff track.

    The horse stays very well, but is from a yard which tends to take it steady and unless it runs in the next week or two I’d say the chances of it being fully fit in time for this race are slim.

    Ferns Lock and Famous Clermont could potentially have this to themselves, but neither is likely to run.

    Prior to Wincanton, Famous Clermont had absolutely bolted in by a staggering 30 lengths on the bit at Larkhill and the runner up and third franked the form with creditable efforts at Charing and back at Larkhill on Sunday.

    Nothing but sleepless nights await, Landafar.

    Famous Clermont is entered at Buckfastleigh this coming Sunday – if he runs, I doubt if he’ll come off the bit, but I also doubt if he’ll be much better than 1/3.

    It’s an interesting call, Nathan.

    All I’d say is Vaucelet is a spring horse who is best on Good ground (it was Soft) and if it’s the same two jockeys Vaucelet will be 7lb better off as claims aren’t allowed in this race.

    Secret Investor 10/1 could be an interesting one for Nichols, entered in the 1.20 Bangor tomorrow (technically later today as it’s past midnight)
