A 2 mile Conditional Jockeys race over 2 miles with Soft Going, plenty of rain about and the Going Stick

is a lot lower (5.3) on the Hurdles Course, than the Chase Course (7.0). Expect that to deteriorate further. The top 2 in the

market SIR EGBERT and THE BOTHERS look very solid. I just favour SIR EGBERT of the 2, with Lads/Coral/Sky though

going odds to 4th, if you want a little saver on The Brothers than grab it and a tricast perm. SIR EGBERT looks very solid

on a run at Ludlow, Lacey is in good form, a man to watch and this track may suit it better and the Going wont be an issue.

The Tizzard yard is flying again, so The Brothers will be a huge danger. The other one I like and will tip is LE CAPRICEUX;

it is notionally the 2nd string for Gary Moore, the 10lbs Claimer is decent and the horse likes this Going; won at Plumpton

in a bog off 102, going well when falling last time (so there is a stamina angle here) and off 107 less the 10lbs Claim

and a decent weight, looks a big each way price at 10/1. One run here when he followed home the outstanding Debece

flatters him, but that Course experience is another tick. The dangers are King Cnut; No Hiding Place and Shining Romeo;

but the 2 tips and The Brothers should give us a cracking hand!
