Weights Announcemount

Any eye catchers? There's a couple I like. Royale Knight at 10-01 could come into the reckoning but might need the ground the softer sound of good. Last year he travelled really well into the race but was outpaced about 3 furlongs out. Any give in the ground and he can dourly stay on into a good position.

Cause Of Causes is another that I like at a feather weight of 10-01. His tactics were completely wrong last year. He was dropped out the back and asked to make up masses of ground in the final mile and to be fair, he stayed on well into 8th but no one makes up that much ground in a national. If he can be ridden a bit closer to the pace (this shouldn't be a problem for a horse who won a Ladbroke hurdle!) he could really get involved. The problem with both of these is that they are down at 72 or so in the weights list, as such they can't be guaranteed a run.

My two antepost fancies, Wonderful Charm and Rule The World have both been allotted fairly nice racing weights. Rule The World in particular I'm massively liking the look of but Mouse Morris still hasn't nominated this race as the longterm target yet.
