1st Goulanes 10/1 - 120
2nd Harry Topper 7/2 - 80
3rd Ofaolains Boy 6/1 - 50
3rd Shotavodka 8/1 - 50


Goulanes was very impressive here. He has been off for over 1000days, an came back to the Welsh National. A bit of a tall order in my opinion and he pulled up after running well. So he comes back fitter for that then he could go well. The drop back will probably help as well. Lots of positives for him. He is 2 wins from 3 on soft, the loss was in the Welsh National, and we know why he struggled in that. He is 2 wins from 3 in March. He is a course winner and on a track like this with slight undulations he is 3/3. If he is fit, and it is a big if. Then he has a great chance. At 10/1 i am happy to have a bet.

Shotavodka won this last year, but the going is softer than last year. And its a big worry, he has only placed once 3m and above of soft ground, and then he was beaten 30L, so i am not so sure. He is however only  pound higher in the handicap, than when winning this last year.

I am a fan of O'faolains Boy. I had backed him for the Gold Cup a couple years ago, until injury prevented him from running. Then he came back nearly 2 years later and won. But after a poor run in the Gold Cup, he was off for a year again. And pulled up on his reappearance. In my opinion if he wasn't such a fragile horse, then he would be hard to beat. But he is.

Harry Topper has dropped right down the handicap and will like the going, his connections are in form. He was off for 2 years, came back and PU, but than has run since coming 4th. He will be fit for this. He has a good chance

My Selection: Goulanes 10/1
