I think ballynagour is over priced at 66/1 and really fancy him to out run those odds. Not many people like him but I have had a good bet NRNB and will go in again if he drifts on the day.

Reasons for backing him- His form before march is terrible every year, he always comes good around march time running well at both Cheltenham and aintree.

In last years race he was making good progress from the back when unseating at the 19th. He is now 9pound lower this year running under 11 stone. The good ground will help him and 66/1 is to big for horse that lost be a nose in the grade 1 aintree bowl. Admittingly his current form is crap, but I will take the risk at 66/1 and hope he will improve for the spring and good ground like the previous years. With regards to stamina I think he has been strong in his 3m plus finishes and think he will get the trip. The Handicapper has given him a chance and I think 16/1 is value.

It will be interesting to see who is booked to ride him. I hope the pipe stable hits some form and they book James reverly
