I can’t pick one here. It’s a difficult race to call, which hopefully means it will be a really good race.
We have Special Tiara who beat Vibrato Valtat, Mr. Mole and Somersby in the Sandown Celebration chase but ran a discouraging comeback race last month.
Poor old Sire DeGrugy just doesn’t look the same horse as he was. VV ran a nice race for his grade 2 comeback but was beaten 5 lengths by Josses Hill in the Arkle.
How fit is Josses Hill? I have no idea, so I would be erring on the side of VV for this simply because of that recent effort. (He would want it a bit softer than it is, though.)
Also, how much will Somersby improve for his 14 length defeat to Sprinter Sacre? Hopefully a lot as a Nina Carberry victory in this race would be awesome.
Fingers crossed for a good spectacle.
