02/12/17 3:00 Newbury - System

1st Coneygree 18/1 - 95
2nd American 13/2 - 60
3rd Whisper 8/1 - 55
4th Missed Approach 25/1 - 45

Not really a surprise that Coneygree topped this, i don't really need to say to much, if back to his best he would be able to defy top weight and romp home. He won the Grade 2 Denman Chase here back in 2015, this race is 'easier' than that was, but he was at his peak then  after that race he went on to win the Gold Cup. If he can recapture the form of the Punchestown Gold Cup form earlier this year then, this horse will win, but there are a lot of If's. I love this boy and i hope to see him win, he has never raced in a Grade 3 before. And 18/1 is actually an insulting price. Luckily it's not sunny today.

American is my ante post bet here, so i am glad to see him heading the rest of the best stats. Probably would have preferred to see a prep race, but he won a Novice Chase at Exeter last year on his seasonal debut after 238 days off. His last race in March is actually working out very well with Rock The Kasbah and Hainan who come in behind him. I am not going to lie, its not the most confident ante post bet i have made this year.

Whisper has some brilliant form most notably just being beat by Might Bite. He won his seasonla debut in a 2 horse race, but the horse he beat has since gone on to win, however he should have probably beat him much further than he did based on official ratings.

Missed Appraoch's connections are flying at the moment, but this is a big task. He has the ability to go well, but he has to want to go well, he won the Pertemps Qualifier here a couple of years ago over hurdles.

My Selection: Coneygree 18/1

  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
