Yes, I know Henderson has the 1/3 hotpot Lulamba (2.00 Exeter) but I was super impressed by Stencil's losing run at Cheltenham and if Stencil is not a nr, he'll be the Ew for me at 22/1.

It's pretty obvious to me that they're looking for a handicap mark to go for a race at the festival.
 
I did think that but I also thought that he's that decent they may go to Kempton for the Wayward Lad.
I'm surprised that they're running him here, to be honest, and am still expecting him to be declared a nr.

If they do prep him for a festival handicap by running him down the field, he'd be some bet, eh? It seems clear to me that he's a class horse for chasing.

2:10 Navan interesting race and market.
Townend riding something that isn’t willies is always worth sitting up for and JETARA at 7/2 looks a bet.
Getting weight from all her rivals, she’s fit from a few runs on the flat and this trip on bad ground I think will be perfect for her. Yellow clay could win well but the Novice form from last year hasn’t being properly tested yet.

2.20 Plumpton Listentoyourheart
3.00 Exeter Pony Soprano

Each way double

The former ran OK behind Celtic Dino and Alexei first time out looking in need of it while the latter also ran OK behind Wade Out and Wendigo. Both can improve for the run in weaker looking races

Disappointing efforts from both although I was still hopeful of something back until Pony Soprano belted a couple
I seem to be adept at picking the Skelton runners that perform badly while ignoring most of his winners
 
In celebration of the worst of British brewing, I give you Double Diamond:

Diamond Days 1.45 Ling 4/1
Star Of Diamonds 2.45 Ling 4/1

2x win singles
Ew Double

Happy drinking.
