that on an anticipated bright and sunny day could quickly become sticky "dead ground". I think one of those races where 

race fitness could be a big advantage and although many having seasonal debut will win plenty this season, may be a 

day when some won't be fully exerted with that in mind. I think that the likes of Waldorf Salad, Blameitonmyroots; Russe Blanc;

Abracadabra Sivola; Cadeau George all come in to that category, all could win this on form and mark today but on balance;

I narrowed the actual tips down to 4-5 on a shorter list; despite the great stable form and the visual thought that Templeross

may just take off and get in to a rhythm and make all, not fully sure about its stamina in a race this deep; and similar applies

to Chef D'Oeuvre; whose tendency  to clout a fence also cause me concern, my fear is they could win from the front; but I fancy

a couple who are race fit just a bit more today. BEGGARS CROSS ran and won well at Warwick recently; looks the type to

really progress this season and 6lbs rise is fair, a view watching that race there is more to come and I think a solid each

way yardstick with odds to 4th. BINDON MILL has been in my tracker all year; I watched closely its run at Exeter recently;

like a lot of Dartnell's it needed the run, he is a proper old fashioned Chase trainer, the horse will improve; clearly loves

tough uphill right handed tracks and in my opinion if he improves marginally for that run, a strong place chance at least.
