Would depend on the tax he gets but would fancy Entoucas for another crack at this if the weight was right. 4lb higher Irish mark than his mark in this race last year. Race history littered with horses coming back and running better on their second attempt and I still can’t believe he got beat last year.

Anyone think embittered will go for this again, i see hes entered in the irish arkle again he was well backed for this last year aswell hes 141 rated now which is a nice mark for this oneComment

….Cheddleton, a general 20-1 is an unlikely runner;

Looks like sky pirate is being aimed at this again! Winning off 152 last year hes now 157 and just lost by quite a way, id imagine he wont be dropped too much but with a claimer on the day he could be one to get on sideComment

Brave Seasca won that nicely at Warwick - will be paying attention to his handicap mark after that.....Comment

II liked the run aswell Ray, hopefully drops a pound or two,which is possible with uk handicapper.Made him my first bet for this.Originally posted by Ray View PostComment

Brave Seasca up from 137 to 145.
Seems more than fair after an easy 7 length win at Warwick from Sky Pirate, presumably why there's a fair bit of blue on Oddschecker this morning.....Comment

sky pirate seems to be left unchanged on 157, Entry in Dublin chase on the 6 Feb, doubt he'll turn up there.Comment

Coeur Sublime visually impressive but what mark we reckon he'll be given for his 3 Irish runs? Henry won this race with Chosen Mate before going on to the Grand Annual but CM ran off 147 at the Festival - would assume Sublime will be higher than that (especially with GB handicapper taking a sterner approach)...Comment

150 hurdler I think and with Ferny form the UK won’t be lenient sadly as you say.Originally posted by RoadToCheltenham View PostComment

CS would be my pick for this with any mark in the 140's. But as others have said, hard to see that happening.Comment

Being a fan of Funamble Sivola and Before Midnight for this, it's going to be strange seeing them run against each other tomorrow, and not sure one winning will help its mark that much!! However Funambule back at 2m for the first time since chasing Shishkin at Aintree will be interesting to watch, hope he doesn't blow his mark for this!Comment

His price has stopped me getting stuck in for a little bit, but the boost-able, NRNB 16/1 from hills seems fair for Buddy rich here. His profile is very very good for the race on trends and will be even better if he takes up his DRF engagement. Like chosen mate but even better executed.
from my trainer/race trends diary, re grand annual winners:- 9/12 winners had 7+ prior chase starts - BR is currently in 6, and will get to 7 if he runs at the DRF
- 9/12 had 2 or fewer prior chase wins - 1 win for BR
- 8/12 had at least 2 prior course runs, 10/12 had at least 1 - Yep
- 9/12 had previously run over fences at Cheltenham - Yep
- 7/12 had run at Cheltenham already that season - Yep
- 8/12 were in at least their 2nd season as chasers - no
- Only 4/12 had won a race in their last 3 starts - would not be in keeping with majority of winners here
- 8/12 were within 2lbs of a career high chase mark - Will certainly meet this one
- 9/12 had finished in the top 3 in at least 1 of their 3 prior starts, 7/12 had done in at least 2 of their last 3 - Will meet this one
