I’m going with fairly obvious here in the winner from 2 years ago in Wyck Hill. He has been poor since in his few runs but has a great record fresh and will surly have been kept for this race of the exact same mark. I’m not at all convinced about the value of most of the rest of the field and 20/1 with Paddy and 18/1 with bet365 is well worth taking. With his bad record of placing it’ll be a win only bet.

I’m going to go with a gut feeling selection here in Majala. He has been pretty bad for a while now but his last win came of the back of poor runs and he is ticking a few boxes here. There is the sudden appearance of a decent claimer and a huge drop in mark to 130. The combination and a weak race make me think he could well improve here and 25/1.

1 Point win 25/1 Generally

Ran well enough but faded in the finish.

Kempton 3:35

We’ve had a non-runner here in Astracad, and to replace him I’m going to go with the other horse here that interested me a t a price. Fox Appeal has a great record in these big Handicap Chases of around this mark and the fact that there are 15 runners and some of the bookies are still going 4 places makes big appeal for him at a huge price. We only really have to forgive him his last run where he didn’t jump great to see that he is in form this year and could well play a part here. 28/1 and 4 places are too good to ignore.

This was an isteresting run for the future seemed to be beaten turning for him and came back to finish midfield. It was a strange enough looking run and id be hopefull he has a big run in him shortly at a big price.
