At Fishers Cross is one of the best 3 miles hurdlers in the last decade, would had placed in this race.

I didnt have African Gold as a 3miler, thought he was a 2m5f horse.

Given that you can discount the horses:

2-3-4-5-7-13

so that makes this a 7 runner race.

Celestial Halo - major chance, loves it good but still has to prove his stamina

Hollywell - grand horse but the formlines say no.

Medinas - adore this his after backing him at 33 at cheltenham. very smart horse but a bit behind group horses.

Oscara Dora - good horse, not good enough.

Smad Place - Made a career of mopping up behind the elite, can he make the gap ?

Solwhit - superstar - back him

I have just realised that AG has very little to beat Cry

You seem to have discounted the winner.Mischief

the cheltenham race certainly has a solid look about it.

would give the mare (Utopie des bordes) that finished 5th in the race a solid chance in the Mersey novices. Beat Aim to Prosper a hell of a lot further than Up and Go did at Ascot (admittedly eased).

I'm on him as think conditions will be perfect, I do fear Solwhit though. I thought CH was miles past his best so either I'm wrong or the 3 mile divison is very weak and ready for a novice to come and show them how it's done!

agree Ibrahima although have backed Celestial Halo as well...dutched

Solwhit is MILES clear on my trends!

Not a 100% horse like At Fishers Cross was but still well clear.

He must be on about Grand Crus I think,I suppose he gets better ground than he's had all year.
Report Ibrahima Sonko April 6, 2013 9:26 AM BST
No, he is not that stupid. More like Bears Affair or Attaglance who have decent ew chances.

i'd be very afraid of solwhit actually finishing this race on this ground.....gonna have a few quid on a place lay just in case

Bears Affair got no chance imo. They were weak handicaps he won and was well behind Oscar Dara last time.
Report Ibrahima Sonko April 6, 2013 9:37 AM BST
I would never judge a horse when its beaten by a stablemate, especially when he is holding up the handicap.

Anyway it would be much easier if FB reappeared.

AG may be young and improving but he's got to have improved out of sight in the last 3 weeks, I wouldn't back it at double the odds, I would be amazed if it places

I've backed Bears Affair. Plenty to find on the book but he's unexposed,goes well fresh and on the track. Untried over the trip but by Presenting out of a dual 3m chase winner he's bred to relish it.
Report Glossy April 6, 2013 12:58 PM BST
Bear's Affair e/w for me too. Has won at the track and like FB says, is unexposed and open to lots of improvement. Given that Ocsara Dara was in receipt of nearly a stone when defeating him at Kempton, I wouldn't have thought he'll have much of a problem reversing the placings; especially with Gerraghty having chosen this one.
