Gottany O’s is the sort of horse that seems to do well at the Aintree Festival. He looked very good on his second last run soundly beating Lyvius. He was poor next time out, but it did seem too poor to be true and Im hoping that the Tongue Tie might just do the trick to see him finish out the race better. He was much the same standard on the flat as most of the favs and 25/1 warrants a small bet. Not having run at Cheltenham can be a big advantage.

Star Of Angels looks to have the right kind of profile for this race. He’s had less racing than most of the field this year, and didn’t have a hard race at Cheltenham as he was brought down at the 3^rd. He has plenty of decent form in the past including a good 4^th in the Coral Cup a few years ago. There is a good possibility he was readied for a good end of season campaign by pipe. Once there are no ill effects from his fall at Cheltenham the current 22/1 with Coral is a standout price, given that he is generally 16/1 which looks more likely to be around the correct odds.

What A Friend ran a very good race at Newbury behind Long Run when like Burton Port he was closing at the end. He fell at the 2^nd in the Gold Cup and with that race probably having taken a huge amount out of his principle adversaries here he looks a good prospect at a decent price. He has won this race before and in my view should be 3^rd Fav here behind Riverside Theatre and Burton Port. The fact that they both had exceptionally hard races at Cheltenham should bring him closer to them. I got a bit of 11/1 this afternoon but the 9/1 available in a few places still looks a bit of value. Ive just noticed a bit of 10/1 available in Ladbrokes

Deal Done ran a great race to just get run out of the 5 places at 40/1, the other 2 selections never figured at all really. Pricewise’s selection just failed and traded at 1/7 going down to the last so he was very unlucky there. Daldini ran a good race to be 3rd at Huntington and might be one to watch soon enough of this mark. Overall a loss of 8 points on the day which is poor and brings the pricewise race closer at Pricewise -6 LongshotValue +13.6 both Advised.

Oiseau de Nuit  has been very consistent really over the last 2-3 years. He was travelling really well last time out in the Grand Annual when he was brought down 3 out and it looked to me he was defiantly getting involved there. He has a few extra pounds in hard over the likes on Thanks for That who was 2^nd and considering he was 2^nd in this race last year off 2 lbs higher I really think he is in with a big chance here. The 12/1 available with Paddy Power and Bet365 looks exceptional value and worth a EW bet.

Some Target has been very consistent over the last year or two and did run a very good race in the Grand National Trial at Haydock, travelling well throughout but weakening near the end. I’m sure this would be his target and he is in here of a very workable weight with Paul Townend in the saddle. The rain yesterday and today will only help his chances He is a stayer really and looks to be almost nailed on to place in the first 5. 22/1 with 5 places on Bet365 looks worth taking.

Bat Masterson has been running consistently well this year, and has plenty of experience for a 4yo. He ran on eye-catchingly in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham and looks to be helped by the step up in trip here. He has the benefit of a not inconsiderable 4yo allowance here, and given his experience he should be able to take advantage of it here. The 14/1 available in a few places looks to be about 3 points too big and well worth a bet.
