A wide range of experience and possibly ability amongst the pilots here has to be factored in.

 

We tipped Strictlydancer when winning here last time and advised at 10/1 it won at 7/1. It has a favourites chance at around 9/2 and I would not put anyone off a win saver and if it does run today (also declared tomorrow and may run both) then another old favourite Forza Milan will be a strong opponent.

 

Opposites Attract is the talking horse in the betting but off a break of 222 days then the price is too short for me and as Plan of Attack finished 4th in the Cross Country yesterday I suspect it will be a non-runner or at the very least knackered fitness wise for today.

 

My pair most fancied are MINELLA ENCORE and FACT OF THE MATTER

 

Minella Encore is race fit and in good form. It's off a nice competitive mark and has placed course form off this mark and looks a nice each way price.

 

Fact of The Matter for the Snowdon yard gets one of the better and more experienced pilots in William Featherstone and has Course winning form and form to at 3 miles and is another it's hard to find reasons not to invest in.

 

If there is a dark horse at big Odds who could spring a surprise it may be BERMEO, a Course and Distance winner in the past, desperately needed seasonal debut, may need another run in fact but at the price I can't resist some loose change.

 

TIP - Minella Encore / Tracker - Fact Of The Matter (shrapnel - Bermeo)
