I'm hoping the rain arrives for Alnilam in the County, where he could be an each way bet against the big guns at the head of the market.

Ground wise, firstly he's a french bred, so that would usually make me think he wants some cut in the ground. Secondly, all his three wins have been on soft, two were just novice hurdles, but the third win was a class 2 handicap at Southwell.

He travelled really well for a long way on Saturday, and probably just got done for a bit of toe at the end there. While he'll need to improve again in the County, as I say, if the ground went soft or heavy he'd be high on my list for an each way bet. I think he'll be on the premises I really do.

I may well back a couple in the race anyway, but I want Alnilam on my side.
