The money for Third Time Lucky must be because he looks so well treated . However , he might not be best suited to this track and he is not the most fluent of jumpers .
Barring Dolos and Third Time Lucky there is nothing between the runners at the weights . Éclair D'Ainay looks overpriced now .

Empire Steel looks best at the weights in the 3.30 and might be a bit better than a handicapper , might being the operative word . The 14/1 on offer early was too big but 6/1 is too short .
Kauto Riko is around 80 on here and that is worth a couple of quid e/w .

Truckers Lodge looks sure to run well across the border .

The best handicapped horses are Windsor Avenue and Cap Du Nord . The former is a monkey and the latter is too short .

The plot horse is Java Point of course .

Cloth Cap will have admirers but his Kelso form is open to criticism . Two For Gold hated the outing for much of the trip therefore the form is not worth a light . Cloth Cap did nothing wrong but the form is no better than his Hennessy win . That sort of performance would give him a chance here but he is short for all that

The value bet is to lay Ga Law . He needs to improve and is far too short .
I like monkeys and have taken a chance with Windsor Avenue .


In The Thelwell Stakes the value is to lay Delta Work . He has a lot on his plate but with the energy bills rocketing I am obliged to back Snow Leopardess . 18/1 is too tempting .

But enough of the bullshit , the good stuff is Precious Eleanor who looks well handicapped and has Simply The Betts to beat at the weights .

The market is strangled . The obvious choice should be Coo Star Sivola but I see no value in the current price .

If you must have a flutter you could do worse than back Kauto Riko e/w .

Frodon e/w 16/1 or better is value that should not be missed .

The favourite is far too short at 2/1 . Beggar's Wishes could be a Ryanair horse in the making .
