Oscar Whisky looks a very generous 10/1 for this race, he is top rated by the handicapper (I think) anyone else think this is a good bet?
If he gets there, yes, he’s due a win at the Fez and has had a perfect prep with three of his runs at the track including two over exact C&D. Clearly the best of these over hurdles, he doesn’t have to be as good over fences to still win this. Some will trot out the 9yo novice stat, but that is always there because so few chasers are novices at the age of 9, if they are, its cos they are generally too slow to win a race!! I took 10s with Hills prior to his Sandown slog, which I wouldnt be unduly worried about.
I also like Djakadam and have some 14s about him NRFB but P Mullins has indicated at a preview night he may not be on das boot.
