I think Oscar's Den is worth an each-way dash in this at 25/1.

He won a Bumper and a couple of Novice Hurdles for Tim Vaughan three season's back, before managing to split two good horses in Garde La Victoire and Vieux Lion Rouge, in a decent Novice at Cheltenham's April meeting. He then had a long time off the track with injury, before moving to Ted Walsh's yard in March this year. He had his comeback run in a minor handicap hurdle at Limerick last month; making smooth headway in the last half-mile, before fitness perhaps took its toll, and he was ultimately a well-beaten 4th of 13 to Donegal Tuesday.

This was a promising-looking horse at one stage, and he gets in here off 116. If Ted has worked his magic, he could be extremely well-handicapped, and 25/1 is a price I personally can't ignore, in what is a wide-open and not particularly great race.
