14/03/20 3:35 Uttoxeter -Midlands National - System

1st Captain Drake 11/1 - 45
2nd De Rasher Counter 7/1 - 40
2nd Prime Venture 10/1 - 40
3rd Joe Farrell 16/1 - 35

Very tight race here. And the going will be heavy, so the winner will need to have stamina in bundles to win this.

Captain Drake is a worry if he stays up he has a chance. But in 4 races over fences, he has only completed twice. On the plus side, 2 of his 4 wins have come on heavy, and he is 2/2 on heavy. He has won over hurdles here, so the track should suit. He came 7th on his chase debut here too,, but i think he probably needed the run on that occasion. its a tough one because if he stays up he has a great ew chance. Lets hope he does.

De Rasher Counter has to contend with top weight here which is a big worry in these conditions. No hore carrying more than 11st 5lb in this race has won on heavy. The jockey claims lb but i still fear thats not big enough as giving a lot of weight to the others. It would take some performance for him to win.

Prime Venture was 4th in this last year and is now 4lb lower than that run, he also has blinkers on for the first time which could get some more improvement out. Ground is fine and he is a proven stayer. He has sound ew claims

Joe Farrell won the Ayr Gold Cup 2 years ago, it was on good ground that day which is a worry, because although he has won on soft, this will be the heaviest he has encountered plus, he hasnt run this far in such conditions. He is 7lb higher than that win, i think he may find it hard work.

My Selection: Captain Drake 11/1

  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
