What do people think as to who will win?

Couple for me could be Razor Royale at a big price and Nacarat could go close agaiin
 
Kilcrea Castle at first glance. Haven't really studied form on this as I am going to Kempton on the day. Parade ring choices mixed with form selection.
 
Anyone know if Atouchbetweenacara is an intended runner? Hasn't been sighted since returning to Venetia.
 
Not sure as of yet, he did run disappointingly last time, but I think that was because he was with a different trainer :D.

Think he could run well if he does go.

Oedipe starting to look feasibly handicapped again, and though there was little to be encouraged about last season, his was a decent effort behind Monkerhostin and Exmoor Ranger at Sandown, and he looks to have been paid-out for this. Off 10 stone dead, I think he has reasonable each-way claims, and I've taken the 14's.

Interesting too, that Atouchbetweenacara has been left in. This will be run after the Wm Hill weights are out, yes?
 
I believe so. Cannot find the entries for the Wm Hill race at the mo but I presume it would be. Oedipe seems to run well fresh and I think hes had a bit of a break so he could be interesting if he returns to his old form

I don't think so. Didn't Hobbs make the mistake a few years back when interviewed after Gunther McBride's impressive RP Chase win of saying that he'd run at Cheltenham off his old mark plus a penalty whereas he was in fact reassessed 17lbs higher? I'm pretty sure form up to and including RP Chase day is available to the handicapper for WH weights purposes.

I remember the Hobbs error well because I fell for it. I'd been playing football in the afternoon and watched a recording of the race later while having a drink. When I heard what he had to say I got on the PC and had my maximum on, unable to believe that 6/1 was still available. I spent the Sunday hung over, desperately trying to lay off when I realised the true position.

Cheers Gus. I'm not looking to back him for Cheltenham, just that ATBA's on a line I have lurking in about 40th place in the TTF, and it would be a nice boost if he won on Saturday, and turned out to be nicely handicapped for the Festival.

Neither outcome sounds particularly likely!:lol:
