One selection today:

Down Royal

2.05pm Oscars Well
1.5pt Win bet
Current Betfair price:  2.96
Best available elsewhere:  2/1 (Stan James)

In my opinion big things lie ahead for Oscars Well this season.  He should have wont the Neptune Hurdle at the festival in March, but still managed two Irish Grade Ones.  The only concern today is the long lay off, as he will obviously be aimed at Cheltenham again, so may need the run today to sharpen up.  Whilst his main competitor today (The Real Article) is a good horse, and will win good races this season, on his day Oscars Well should beat him well.  TRA does have the fitness edge today though.  However, I think that edge is reflected in today's prices, and at odds of 2/1 we take Oscars Well to have enough to get competitive to the line.

Thanks,
