Added Broadway Buffalo for this at 20/1 nrnb. I've no idea if this is his target but he's got previous festival form and loves spring ground.
Is this far enough for him ?
Ran all the way to the line in the 4 miler last year as a 7yo, suggests that very soon there won't be a race in the calendar long enough for him !
They would have to go some clip for this race to create the stamina test he needs for my money....

He traveled strongly in the 4 miler so the drop back in trip doesn't bother me. I think the key to him is decent ground, rather than marathon trips. Having said that, I'd have loved him to make the grand national cut.
Jockeys with no claim have ridden 8 of last 10 winners and taken 30 of 40 places.
Jamie Codd (3-0-9) has ridden the winner three times in the past 10 years.
Ryan Hatch (1-0-1) rode the winner in 2014.
Nina Carberry (0-5-10), Paddy Mullins (0-2-3), Kevin Power (0-2-5) & Derek O'Connor (0-2-7) have each ridden multiple placed horses in the race since 2006.
I love Beg to Differ for this (Jonjo trained will have decent pilot available) but like most staying chasers he has 3 or 4 entries and no idea which is his preference, if he goes here I'll be backing him
Our Father injured and misses the festival according to G Elliott at a preview tonight
Fav again, more dosh in the satchels, bookies will all be retired before the fez starts at this rate, and why did Elliot wait till a preview evening to announce that, must have been aware earlier in the day some bookies still not nrnb on that race but will have been happy to take punters money

Big Doctor Harper fan. Odds not great but can't find a good reason not to back him
