character building

Could not agree more jockey has the experience of last year under her belt she is good enough to improve on lastb year andn cant see the horse being out of the first 5

If he fancies it, he has a chance

The race got away from them last year obv needs to be ridden very patiently but in doing so the leaders got away if they were carried into the race you can def see it coming with a chance although dont fancy it on the run in for win purposes

Posted on another thread. Backed this at 40s ew 1st 5. I think he is somewhat overlooked this year compared to his position in market last year - maybe as an 11 yo grey and with Nina on bookies feel they can field against him this year.

He ran a corker last year when possibly kept too far off the pace (although maybe he cannot lie up on good ground) and just seemed to tire on run-in. Noticed he only had two quickish runs before last season's race whereas his preparation this time seems much better.

He won't mind a bit of rain either if that falls and the most important factor is the weight he will get off those that finished in front of him last year.  I could see him run very well of 10 4 especially with the experience of last year behind him.

One of my fancies too, cant see why he shouldnt improve on last years run, lovely jockey booking too.

Im on this on the place market. Ran a cracker last year coming from miles back. Have had a play on vic venturi to. Nearly taken out at the first last year and then went out at the 20th fence when going fairly strong. Roll on saturday.

Backed to place already
