This is a bit of a quirky Track and very often in summer and winter we've seen something with stamina to prove skip off the front, get into a nice rhythm and not coming back to the field. Form here rarely transfers elsewhere and I have made my analysis predominantly on that basis and the belief that they either nick it from the front, or it then plays in to the hands of those with proven stamina who get out-paced but plod on and pass beaten types who panic half way down the back second time and leave nothing for the finishing straight .

 

At any other venue, and even here I can't rule out Light Flicker, Achille or Bangers And cash. Representing Bob for Jamie Snowden is very progressive but goes up in trip off a career high mark and I'm happy to take that one on too. Callipso Collonges has very solid form and rates a danger, top weight Topofthecotswolds has often promised but not yet delivered on potential and I think the weight will burden it too much here.

 

IF you want one at crazy odds the very inconsistent INNISFREE LAD is a proven stayer off a nice mark and could do some serious damage on a "going day" the problem is you can't ever really know when those days are!

 

I do think that JET PLANE is the one they all have to beat and will have a WIN BET. The runner up last year was CASH TO ASH who did exactly what we have suggested and tried to make all from the front, it runs off a pound lower today, is actually a proven stayer and looks over-priced to me given it's proven Course form. I also think that SMALL PRESENT from the Sue Smith yard who is being backed by some astute money and ECLAIR DE GUYE who certainly runs best right handed and gets the trip and further and who deserves a regional National are worthy of a small investment.

 

TIP - Jet Plane / Trackers - Cash To Ash + Eclair De Guye / (shrapnel if you want it to enhanced places - Small Present + Innisfree Lad)
