I couldn't for the life of me, understand how they ran Dom Of Mary at Chelt over 3m2f when he's just a stay-forever type and would have run here with a very nice weight. Really fancied him for this. Won the Sussex Nash last year and second in the same race this year to Invincible Nao. The latter has been transformed by marathon trips, winning his last two over 3m5f. He was getting 5Lbs form Dom Of Mary in that last race, which is good staying form alright and he could well find more even improvement over this 4m2f. Very few truly stay that trip and he does look the part.

It's not the done thing but I'll confess that I have great regard for jockey Caoilin Quinn who'll ride tomorrow. He was my 'National King' last term, giving me the winner of three nationals. Talismanic, in a way.

Of course I've already backed the Apple but I'll have a second go on Invincible Nao. ew at 16's Ew PP 5 places
