The books are out to get the favourite . The rest can be struck out for one reason or another .
Banbridge , King George form looks blown to pieces and his previous with Energumene looks dubious as well .
Inothewayurthinkin is trained for the race at Aintree so will not be 100% .
The Real Whacker form does not stand up and that applies to Gentlemans Game and Montys Star .
Ahoy Senor is talented but rarely shows it and that leaves Corbetts Cross .
At Aintree , last Spring , he ran well behind Gerri Colombe and on that form he should be second favourite . If his Kempton and Ascot form was correct then he would not be here . I believe this has been his target and think he is well worth an e / w bet at around 16/1 .
And while I am on my soapbox , the Ryanair form looks suspect . The winner is a lovely chap and beat what ran but it was only Heart Wood that ran, nothing else turned up .
EDIT bad policy to excuse beaten horses but the favourite looked unhappy with the kickback on the way to the start .
