Really fancy this one to run a big race tomorrow and genuinely think 40/1 is an absolute steal. The horse won very impressively over course & distance on the New Year's Day meet and is only 5lb higher tomorrow. Plenty of excuses for the disappointing run last time on a bog at Haydock.
Horse is sure to like the quicker ground and is from an in-form stable.
I'm aware of the poor record of 5 year olds in this race but I think this one has a better engine than most. It's also one of those stats that is a little misleading as you don't generally get many 5 year olds in this though Son Amix managed 2nd last year.
Certainly worth a few quid e/w at the silly 40/1 on offer with Sid James.
I also like him and he's also still 5lbs lower than he started the season. But I have also had each ways on Barwell Bridge and Thehillofuisneach. Still looking for my first winner this week so sorry about Jinxing him!!

Andy I think people thought he wanted soft over 2 miles where actually he needed 3 miles. BTW they are closely weighted but i personally don't trust Kayf Aramis and he's 10 where Houblon is 5 and there is a chance he could improve.

Can't really see a 1lb swing making a difference. This horse is an improver whilst it's probably fair to say that we're not likely to see much improvement at this stage from KA.
andy85 - I think it probably would like a little more cut in the ground but has won on Good to Soft and I haven't got too many concerns over the ground. I think they're watering like maniacs as we speak.
It's a 40/1 shot, there will be holes in its profile but I really like its chances and it shouldn't shouldn't be that big a price.

Certainly got a chance then. Hope he runs well for you. I've picked 3 double figure horses in this race its that hard to pick. If it wasn't Cheltenham I would be giving it a swerve
