Can't believe this race has sneaked up on me and is tomorrow! Looks an absolutely cracking renewal....
Couldn't really fancy Sire de Grugy on his seasonal bow giving weight away, and would want to see him back to his best before backing him anytime soon. I reckon it will be between Vibrato Valtat and Gods Own, and just about prefer the latter who can hopefully win back to back renewals and looks best when fresh.
SDG has a good record carrying top weight and giving loads of weight away, i think he can carry weight well but its shame the trainer said he isnt fit.

I agree AC, going to do the same myself. VV seems to clear to prefer it softer and Gods Own seems to much prefer the better ground. Will back whichever one seems to be getting is ground, although I'm now moving towards VV as I do think it's going to be pretty soft.

What about Dunraven Storm? Has the fitness edge and beat VV (in receipt of 4lb) at Cheltenham last year, and was 2 lengths behind at Sandown off levels. Gets 9lb today so could be the value at 7/1.

I don't think VV handles Cheltenham myself titleist. But agree the fact he has had a couple of runs give him a squeak. I just think VV is a better animal if fit and day to go.

Cheers lads. Thought he was quite impressive today (bar the last!). Under his optimum conditions of 2m on soft ground, he could be a tough nut to crack this winter. Credit to PN too, he's done really well with the horse.
