I'm happy to take on the likes of Winnie Woodnutt up 9lbs off the back of a series of good runs, Ceanndana is solid in the context of the race but the price represents no each way value, Cool Croi from the Elliott yard would be 3 x the price if connected elsewhere based on actual form.

 

Of the 15 runners and 3 reserves , 4 really caught my eye and with enhanced odds I'll play them accordingly.

 

SILVERSTRAND looks the best option by a significant margin, it bottomed out over 3 miles last time but this trip looks absolutely ideal and provided it has recovered should take all the beating here. NUTTORRIDGE should be spot on now fitness wise and on a very nice Hurdles mark, it'll be bitterly disappointing if this pair aren;t in the first 4 home.

 

At bigger Odds ROMAN PARRISH a runner up over 2 miles and 3 furlongs staying on and an enhanced place over 3 miles fading in the last furlong looks to have been found an ideal opportunity here off a nice mark and nice e/w price and OUR JERVIS showed signs if finding form at a competitive level last time and is the one at big odds that I thought most likely to outrun them and spoil the applecart.
