Always an enjoyable puzzle, some that are catching my eye atm:
Pentland Hills - All talk was that he disappointed on his seasonal return, but I would not put it past Hendo to have had this race as a target prior to a CH run, he has won this before with MTOY who had a high rating also. Last seasons juveniles are showing good form this season. 20/1
Not So Sleepy - Very progressive, been upped 13lb since last impressive win. I think his chances will increase the softer it is, not my kind of bet at the current price though. 7/1
Harambe - He was impressive lto and could be more to come, but I think he won despite the ground, and would consider him if its good ground, but probably not likely, trainer has stated this is his target. 20/1
Stolen Silver - Trained by NTD so has to be considered for this. His win at Ffos Las was impressive in a very good time, and he ran Hendo's top novice Chantry House very close lto giving him weight. 140 could under estimate this decent novice (NTD likes a novice in this). 20/1
Flegmatic - He could come on a bundle from his seasonal opener, and looks completely unexposed off a mark of 130. 25/1
Bullionaire - Trainer likes him and his current mark, mentioned this as a target in an Xmas stable tour, so I'm not overly put off by his last run. A bigger field with a stronger pace will suit. 33/1
I'll consider the Irish entries once I see what marks they get, several interesting ones from Mullins.
Have to say I'm tempted to stick some pennies on Stolen Silver.....

Think not so sleepy's mark is 17lb higher GI... 127 to 144 now.
Indeed, I can't count.
Interestingly, Stolen Silver runs tomorrow.

Will need a few to drop out for my fancies to get a run. Therefore will wait until the picture becomes clearer.
Price has gone a bit as Gary Nutting put up Mack The Man yesterday in his ATR column but he's the one ive backed. Needs to get in off 130 though but if he does i'd not be surprised if he goes off favourite.
Have backed Ciel De Neige so far hoping he turns up and before JP McManus gets stuck in. Will add a couple more nearer the time.
Like both of Evan Williams entries, Mack The Man and Quoi De Neuf and at the prices, and with the good weather forecast, I have had my main bet on Quoi De Neuf @ 20/1 with a decent saver on Mack The Man @ 7/1. A bit worried he may only declare one* but if Quoi De Neuf is still 14/1+ on the day I will go in again e/w with 5-6 places hopefully.
Backed NSS it's last 2 runs but had a dabble on Whoshotthsherrif around 30's who ran a quietish race behind NSS last time. Strictly speaking NSS should win but i can't help thinking this is an afterthought for Hughie and if he knew what he had NSS could have come in a lot better hcpd and might be a bit if a thinker.
Big gamble on Highly Prized
Cant think why with an effective 15lb rise
on his last win

My 3 against the field: Highly Prized (pretty sure they have been waiting for the ground but open to plenty of improvement), Harambe and, in particular, Stolen Silver. I think a well run race will suit, and if he can keep his jumping tidy, he could well be the one. Both of the latter are about 25/1 win only on the exchange as I type... it seems extraordinary that SS is longer now than when the OP was written, before his latest win. Timeform weren't impressed, which can put the professional 'pundits' off the scent sometimes.
Devilishly difficult race though, so good luck to all.

7/1 the field, competative and wide open. I've added Sir Valentine to my Stolen Silver bet, think I'll have a small saver on Harambe as well; he will love the ground. Stable not so great atm but they did have a winner yesterday.
Good Luck
