Its quite a good hunter in the context of this race.. and this trip will take some getting. There was a fair amount of rain overnight...but should be drying out with the wind...
KNOCKLONG
Should be unbeaten in its last 8 runs and goes on any ground... a couple of going descriptions in its form mention soft... but they were heavy in places. This horse stays well and i think it will outstay these....it is the only proper "Open" horse running in this. The jock is a big plus and well worth his 7LB claim....probably the best jock in the race
KNOCKLONG should have a big advantage fitness wise over FLASH GARDEN, as well as getting the weight, but otherwise there is not a lot between them. FLASH GARDEN has won 1st time up the last 2 seasons, but not against the likes of KNOCKLONG, so I think it will be pushed for another seasonal debut win.
COMEDINEWITHME, BBV at chelt last year. Its form is not as good as KNOCKLONGS, but it gets the weight, par for the course as it usually receives weight in its points..but I dont think the weight it gets will be enough of an advantage for it to beat KNOCKLONG...... providing they all get round.
I prefer Comedinewithme at the prices. Don't dispute for a second that Knocklong is the better horse in points but had a lot of racing over regulation fences and generally his jumping has not been up to scratch.

Hats off to Koi - once again the King of the Hunters shows the highly-paid 'guessers' posing as so-called experts how to back winners in this division. My fear is that one of the big hitters on here, say Zipper, will buy Koi up and go private. Koi, your pre-race analysis was outstanding, you are a credit to National Hunt Racing!
