Good luck!

Silsol could have been kept for this . If the top fellow was in any form at all he would win this from here to Stokenchurch. Unlikely but the ground is just what he wants.

The provisional for the top fellow comes from Aintree. If the form was as good as it looked he has his chance.
Might Bite is a smasher but his form can be crabbed enough to worry about backing him at short prices .

The top figure is provisional. However it might be wise to have a bob or two at big prices.

Westerner Point has been primed for this . The top one can not be left out.

A wonderful race in prospect. The ground might cattle the chances of Special Tiara.
Douvan has to be taken on again. Fox Norton is race winning fit and could be the better horse anyway.

I think something hurts Cue Card from time to time as he fails to get enough elevation. I will be more than happy to see him trot up but can not back him.
Tea for Two could be rated higher but Aintree form in the Spring can be fickle hence the provisional rating. Further he appears to be trained for a Spring campaign.
The only thing that I am convinced about in this event is that Bristol De Mai is a poor value bet at 7/4.

Key from the winner at 178. A good performance on figures even if his jumping left something to be desired. However the horse to take out of the race is Special Tiara. If it is good ground for the Queen Mum he could well retain his title given that Altior is under a cloud. 25/1 e/w looks value for a small bet.

I doubt Special Tiara will run.
