04/03/17 2:05 Newbury - System

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

  1st Corach Rambler 11/2 - 85 2nd Delta Work 18/1 - 60 3rd Galia Des Liteaux 25/1 - 50 3rd Aint That A Shame 50/1 - 50 3rd Chambard 66/1 - 50 3rd Noble Yeats 16/1 - 50 (FYI 4th Vanillier & Mac Tottie 45, 5th Nassalam, Limerick Lace, Run Wild Fred 40. 6th Latenightpass, Minella Indo & Eklat De Rire 35) I kind of feel disappointed that only one horse i like got into the top here. It does contain 2 previous winners of the race and after doing the system, i will conceed that Corach Rambler has a massive chance to follow up here, however we all saw the effort he put in at Cheltenham, it blew me away and it was well reported exactly how tired he was after the race. That worries me as it wasnt that long ago, althougth everything points to another very good run. He has been given a big chance at the weights here, as a lot of you know i am very into the weights carried in this race and at the bottom i will name 4 horses who i would not touch and one of them i actually really liked unti
