right now they are saying good to firm . lots of rain about though and my feeling is it wont ride g/f on saturday , but , it might . mr nicholls has targeted this race and been successful and so has martin pipe . juicy handicap with plenty of good prices owing to the fact only a few know the participants wellbeing . guess is that present man is laid out for this again . his run in the whitbread says hes very competitive off his mark . i,m on a blank sheet . i,ve forgotten what i knew last season , not sure if thats good or bad , it makes me neutral though and i reckon looking to the past might stick your feet down . i think the market will be key here . i will be looking for a bit of a steamer . best of luck
dont like to sound negative on this , but , it used to be a trial for the hennessey . kings road sticks in my mind , sumkindofking and captain bucks look the only two whom may go on imo . hopefully im wrong

Neither of 'em are entered in the Ladbrokes Trophy (Hennessey) - both novices (Captain Bucks second season novice - has n't won a chase yet) - both have alternative entries to the Badger Ales Trophy in the same novices' limited handicap at Exeter next Wednesday.
