    I’m going to stick with Frodon here for all 9-2 is short enough at this stage, with no guarantees that he’ll travel over. Stablemate Clan Des Obeaux equally appealing at 6’s, but can’t bet two at those prices.

    Frodon not getting any younger, but I think he’s got another big one in him, and having waited for 11-2, the 5’s disappeared, so 9-2 it is.

    Plenty appealing at bigger prices too, namely….

    Janidil 14’s
    Delta Work 16’s
    Mount Ida 16’s
    Castlebawn West 25’s
    Conflated 33’s
    Eklat De Rire 40’s

    Even if Frodon goes, I’d still like another, and would be interested in any of them Antepost.

    The price for Eklat De Rire looks nuts, his Newbury run was too bad to be true, and he’s surely better than that. If he doesn’t declare for The Thyestes, he might just be the one, but Conflated, with a Gold Cup entry, could be progressive, and another who’s a fair old price in a race that can really cut up.

    Frodon 9-2

    Kemboy at 3/1 is my very unimaginative selection here.

    It is absurd that A Plus Tard and Minella Indo and Al Boum Photo aren’t running in this; it is a massive prize in it’s own right, and underlines how the Cheltenham obsession is ruining racing. But once one horse is targeted at only one race, the others have to fall into line

    Conflated looks big, with Coral and Ladbrokes holding the 33’s. Has a Gold Cup entry, and he’s slowly going the right way, so at the price, happy to add him here.

    Conflated 33’s
    Frodon 9-2

    “Why’s clan des obeaux not running?”

    I’m thinking they are going for the Denman Chase.

    Gone for Minella Indo. Surely they want to see him near Cheltenham level. I don’t think you can compare the situation with last year after he had a fall in the previous race. I like Kemboy, but he is not getting younger.

    Minella Indo 4/1

    This looks like Kemboys to lose.
    Conditions ideal.
    Frodon front running could set this up nicely.
    Cilaos Emery at his age could hardly be called unexposed but he has no collaborative form with the field. His second to Samcro last year being his best bit of form and interesting that Mullins goes outside of the team to book Sean O’Keefe. Big price and could be plugging on into a place at the end if janidil and Asterion don’t deliver. A big ask stepping up in trip but could be anything, even the suprise package.
    KEMBOY
    Win
    CILAOS EMERY
    Each way
    FRODON
    Win @ 6/1 Sky bet club

    Backed Conflated each way in the dead eight. He is a sporting price against the market leaders who mostly have question marks against them.
