I must admit, when I do a race like this and add in the current best odds and see so many runners at really big prices, I do get a wee tingle of excitement. When they then end up near the top of my ratings table it intensifies. This is the kind of race that requires a blunderbuss approach but I’ll have a decent win bet on Blue Lord because it might just outclass them all. Smaller win bets on Amirite and Bad are in order. After that, I want onside the likes of French Dynamite, Western Zephyr, Ash Tree Meadow, Dreal Deal, Ginny’s Destiny and Excello but my main fancy of the outsiders is Jetoile who has probably been targeting this all season and who is lobbed in on his best form. He went up to 150 for winning last season’s Old Roan and was only beaten 5 lengths off 145 in a £100+k handicap at Punchestown in the spring. I suspect that’s when this plan was hatched and they’ve done very well to get him down to 136 and the claimer won’t have any problem getting the weight down.


5 + 3 = ?
