Well, fascinating race as usual. Remember that it has only been Class 1 for five years and in that time the younger horses have really shone. So, in terms of trends it wold appear that Tocca Ferro and Cheshire Prince fit the mould rather well. Aather and Qaspal nearly fit the mould too!
In terms of ratings and being well weighted, Oldrik looks like an intriguing runner as does Pistolet Noir.
It is a bit of an unknown for some as it will be quicker ground than some have encountered before – but this just adds to the dilemma of who will win!!
I’m hoping Pistolet Noir runs well at a price. The Nicholls 2nd string with Schofield up don’t tend to fare too badly.
I backed Cheshire Prince at 28’s yesterday afternoon – travelled really well at Doncaster before fading out of it (didn’t stay) and has good winning form on good ground, looks ahead of the handicapper and think he’ll run his race.

Yer all mad
Qaspal will win this so far McCoy will have a nose bleed on the way up the run in.
Not that I do, but if I he made up a tissue for this race, handicap or not I would have made him a 9/4 shot.
You can imagine my joy when they went 4/1 this morning……..not there now is it?
Last time out this horse was fly leaping out of McCoy’s hands for the first mile, he then settle for about 300 yds and off he went again.
In the entire race he settle for about the distance between 2 hurdles.
Turning for home McCoy was so confident he hardly moved on him…..even when Siddal went for broke 2 out McCoy allowed him a 4 length advantage before even attempting to as his mount to quicken
When he did say go it was Woosh!!!! race over.
You could argue it wasn’t much of a race, heavy ground and 2m4f but he could have won at any stage, has won at 2 miles and he can utilise his speed to even better affect on good ground.
This is some tool and looks like a future group horse who will be capable of taking on the best to me.
With 10st3lbs on his back against this bunch I think he’s the bet of the season.
Tocca Ferro for me, Lavelle thinks the world of the horse and is feasibly weighted. Qaspal needs a lot of luck in running.
Will give pepe simo another chance to prove himself in this company with aather possible danger.
Press the button for me, I’ve not had the time to go into this race in any great depth, but he catches the eye, there was a move for him early in the week, not so positive now with the ground easing a bit.
Lightly raced winning a maiden hurdle, then carrying a penalty, a novice hurdle, with ease. Up in class with a very stiff task at the weights.
Looks like he has been put away for the better ground and possibly with this race in mind, no weight on his back and a strong traveller who can race up with the pace, should handle the stiff finish(won at Ascot on the flat)
Just a couple of quid each way.

I backed Katies Tutor at 50/1 yesterday evening, but suspect that Qaspal will be difficult to beat.
Been too busy this week to look at this race, and only just realised that my old friend[?] Tilt was running [thought they’d given up on him]. Would definately have had an ew at 100/1 if I’d realised.

Cheers! If Binocular wins Ger there will be a riot….I’m not having one more coin on the race and keeping out of it
Mind you never did get the moans about him now running..lotta punters had a lot of money resting on him Ante Post are entitled to a run……can’t say I’m that happy having reinvested in Go Native which I wouldn’t have, but that’s life as they say.

Yes well done Fist – Spot on! Keeps the McCoy knockers quiet until the end of day one at Cheltenham at least.
