19/03/21 4:50 Martin Pipe - System
2nd Eglantine Du Seuil 25/1 - 65
3rd Amour De Nuit 25/1 - 40
3rd Frontal Assault 18/1 - 40
The first 2 in this have been clear.
Dallas Des Pictons came 2nd in this 2 years ago off a mark of 140, today he comes here off 142. Conditions are the same as then too. Both his wins have come on good ground so the more it dries the better. He tried a hand at chasing but it was a disaster. And he has been run on heavy and soft over hurdles so i think we can ignore that, i think that we will see a different horse on this ground.
Eglantine Du Seuil was 11th in the Coral Cup last year off 149 andis now down to 143. She is another who has better form on better ground. She even won the Grade 2 Mares Novice here on good to soft ground. She also came 2nd on a Mares Hurdle off this mark over C&D in December, it was on soft ground so its a good effort.
Amour De Nuit is another who wants good ground. His last 2 runs can be ignored as they were on soft ground and this horse needs it firmer, the firsmer the better. Distance is perfect, and the track in unknown as fell on his only trip here, but he has run well on a course similar to Cheltenham before.
Frontal Assault unlike the others named above only has form on heavy or soft. He won a Grade 3 last time out over 3 miles, the drop back i a concern on the firmer ground.
There are some others here like Gentle De Mee, Commandingprescence & Galopin Des Champs who are very lightly raced and dont have the stats, so they are hard to rate in this race.
The better ground hopefully will bring out improvements in the runners named. Im sticking with my system here but i think the first 3 named could all find the form required to win.
My Selection: Dallas Des Pictons 25/1
