As I'm off on hollybags next week, I've had to "do" the race early. Therefore I am pleased to announce that either Maljimar or Barbers Shop will win the race this year.
Yes - but a more reliable place bet than win! Not to be trusted...
PS Having said which, I looked again at his record... he does seem to do best fto, but he's one of those horses who has 'days off' (most runs, he either wins or comes well down the field) and his chasing record is poor: one win against nothing, and one F.
His only run at Cheltenham was abysmal albeit over hurdles. Not for me!
Best place to get cards (imo) is at form.horseracing.betfair.com on Tuesday. Entries will include colours, weights, advanced jockey bookings and Timeform Perspective comments for all runners who warrant such. That will be updated on Friday with final decs and jocks plus a slightly dubious Betfair SP forecast.
