5:30 Steelriver 10/3 6:00 Monumental Man 13/8 6:30 Lady Cosette 11/4 7:00 Alkaamel 1/2 7:30 Blacklooks 14/1* 8:00 Dodgy Bob 15/2 Blacklooks intrigues me greatly. He has been running in a class higher where the average rating in 11lb higher than todays. Both his wins have come in the class albeit over 7f. Plus he is now on the same mark as his last win. I think he may run a good race. 14/1 looks good

1st Sandymount 14/1 - 65 2nd El Bandit 8/1 - 60 3rd Samburu Shujaa 9/4 - 50 Sandymount is a confusing one as only ever once gone 3 miles, and it was a slightly better race and was only beaten a legnth, but then he was off for nearly 1 and a half years. His comeback run wasn't great but he obviously needed the run badly. He is 5lb lower than his 2nd over 3 miles. If he is back to full fitness he could go well and it will be no surprise to see him in the top 3. Both his wins have come after a comback run from a break, so maybe he will again! El Bandit, comes from the in form stable of Paul Nicholls, who actually has Kapcorse as well, Kapcorse scored 35. El Bandit is 2lb lower than the last time he was in a handicap, and he won that. he hasn't been doing too well in Listed and Graded company over fences, so this will be easier, and he reverts back to hurdles. He has claims if reverting to hurdles and handicap compnay works Samburu Shujaa won impressively last time out w...

1st Adrien Du Pont 5/1 - 85 1st Glen Rocco 9/2 - 85 2nd Double Shuffle 10/1 - 80 3rd Talkischeap 7/2 - 65 I feel confident to say the winner will be one of the above. As you can see there is a gap between the top 3 names and the last name. Adrien Du Pont is a C&D winner. He will enjoy the ground. This is a step up, but he is a winner of a Grade 1 hurdle, so it shouldn't be an issue. Stable are flying at the moment, and he has a big chance. Geln Rocco deserves a shot at this grade after winning so impressively last time out and was put up a massive 13lb for that, but he beat 141 rated Barney Dwan by 33L. Double Shuffle shoulders top weight, but he enjoys it here over C&D with stats of 1, 2, 2, 5. The 5th was in the King George at Chirstmas which was a good run, this will be more his grade though. He has a bit of weight to carry but do not rule him out!! Talkischeap is currently favourite should run well, will like the going, jumps well. 2nd to On The Blind Si...
