Looks an extremely open race, and Hendo is running 5. I'm on Kalashnikov and Lalor, just hoping either will emulate the success of Ballyandy last season.

Fiercely competitive renewal this time around, compressed handicap to boot which helps the top weights. Some nice ew terms about so I've had 3 bites:
William H Bonney, Misterton and Nietzsche. Good Luck! |

SILVER STREAK 18-1 e.w 1st 5. Looks an improver or is it just the way he carries his head. Up in trip could bring more. No soft ground form.
SPIRITOFTHEGAMES 28-1 e.w. 1st 5. Probably place is the best I can hope for. Been racing over 2m3f, 2m5f, 2m would seem too short but he's such a slick hurdler I'm gonna throw my money away. More rain the better, I suppose. Win savers on Kayf Grace 12-1 and Irish Roe 10-1. Looking forward to a hell of a race. |

Backed Verdana Blue and Coeur Blimey each way. The betting indicates how wide open this race is.

Just the 24 to sift through,as mentioned last year strong stats for age/weight.
10/10 age 5/6 yr old 10/10 11-2 lb or below These are never bombproof,but they are a useful tool in profiling the type of horse that can outrun their odds.In this case we are looking for a younger horse that the handicapper has not got a handle on,its true potential hidden very carefully,the racing cliche is unexposed, Zalvados.....He was 25th on the list, managed to get in on the cut at 24,two things at entry stage,they have been messing with headgear,and he was on 10-07,took a chance on the claimer and today he has first time blinkers as well.Since arriving from france he has had the tongue tie fitted,and his form on soft or worse bears the closest inspection,never out the first 2.Won his maiden on last start,with the claim he gets to run off 122 today,exactly 10-00 stone,he has form with limited reserve/chesterfield from aintree last yr,that can be argued are far superior to 122,we will see later. Nietzsche.....From the Ellison yard,another young unexposed sort,who has big field experience with a fine third in last years fred winter.He was rated 130 going into that,following a couple of sighters this season ,he gets to run here off 132.Ground wise not that easy to work out,he has won on soft,and captain cook looks to be the rider of choice when the moneys down.Enthusiasm tempered slightly as they have left the hood off ,headgear can work both ways,strong traveller on going day,whatever happens,he looks on a reasonable mark. Will be watching the times of the first few races,they had the going as gd/sft,now back to soft. Case can be made for plenty,both EW for mine,promises to be a cracker,with the bragging rights reserved for any that can work out this Equine Sodoku. GL |
