Any ante post opinions on this, looks like there are some nice prices? I'd imagine the first four in the betting (Wonderful Charm, OW, Felix Yonger, Taquin Du Seuil) will all run in it.

CF I think is definitely Arkle bound, of the three above I don't like the look of Oscar Whiskeys chances.
 
Mozoltov hopefully runs here if he swerves the Arkle, though the yard may prefer FY and Djakadam, and Giggi also have Don Cossack in there at a shorter price too.

So I'm probably knacked from an AP perspective.
 
Giggi also have Bright New Dawn who I thought would be a bigger price. He lost to Djakadam the last day but will be on about 10 pounds better terms come the festival. I think 2 1/2 is his perfect trip but the price isn't great.

I'm trying to go through the races looking for AP value but there doesn't seem to be any.
 
I was really impressed with Wonderful Charm when he won at Wincanton, powering past Fox Appeal in the straight. I backed him for the RSA NRFB thinking he'd need three miles but this is his target. The way the weather is going I think the trip will be ok for him and he looks a worthy favourite.
 
For a lay you mean? Has a poor record at the Festival and Wonderful Charm will be weighted to beat him in March.
 
I've been on Felix Yonger for this for a couple of months now and am hoping it's where he'll go.

I think Wonderful Charm is the pick of the British horses but there's not much between two or three of them.
 
I am not sure Oscar whisky jumps well enough but I think his Cheltenham record is a red herring - 3rd in the Champion and then he ran in the World Hurdle twice when he clearly does not stay and there was something else amiss last spring .

I was on him for 'any race', then Arkle when I thought he'd hose up lto. Now I cannot see him in any other race. Reckon it's a very safe bet he'll line up here. I'm now betting multiples accordingly.
