  1st Gaboriot 11/2 - 55 2nd Mr Vango 4/1 - 40 3rd Monbeg Genius 12/1 - 35 3rd Roi Mage 28/1 - 35   As you can see, Gaboriot comes top by a little bit here. I have based this on soft ground because the rain is due and it's already g-s now. Gaboriot gets in at the bottom of the weights. He has been over this course 3 times now with a UR, 3, 2. That was the Foxhunters and the last 2 were the Grand Sefton, and that includes his last run. So he shows a liking for this course. All those were over 2m 5f though, i have been in this position before with a Colin Tizzard horse Ultragold, who won twice here over 2m 5f but they stepped him up to this race and he didn't stay, whereas this horse has been proven to stay further. So the fact he has won here over 2m 5f and is a winner over 4m, this 3m 2f should suit a lot better. Especially with the rain coming. His highest rating is 128 and runs off 124. He does have a bit to find with some of these, but this distance with such a low weight d...

1st Aworkinprogress 13/8 - 60 2nd Makin'yourmindup 8/1 - 55 2nd Sporting Ace 22/1 - 55 3rd Minella Blueway 8/1 - 45   Aworkinprogress scored very well here, possibly partly because since chasing he is unbeaten. He won on his seasonal debut carrying a big weight and because of Stay Away Fay he actually carries a nice weight this time. He is improving all the time and the more rain the better, which will help for the main event at Christmas. Furthermore, he never wins by too much so he could potentially still be well handicapped. He has big claims. I think this will give us an indication of how he handles the track, as his target with be the Welsh National. Nassalam did the double of this, then the Welsh Nation in 2023! Makin'yourmindup is very similar to Aworkinprogress as in he stays well and he will want the rain to fall, although he has run well on better ground. My only slight concern is fitness, however its obvious this is not his main aim and his seasonal debut, he will co...
