    Been looking over this and Champagne Platinum seems interesting on Hills at 25s, especially with a boost to just over 27s. Henderson over the past few years often sends horses to the Lanzarote then brings them back out for this at the festival (Burrows Edge last year and William Henry the year before he won).

    Good run at the weekend could see his price come collapsing in, especially when you take into account the silks. He clearly didn't take to fences as they hoped and you know he is thought highly of as he was sent to Ireland in his novice season. 138 should be enough to sneak him in bottom of the weights and you would hope for a decent run at the weekend which would no doubt see him gain a few lbs.
    would not be surprised at all if he went off favourite

        Yes - bit late to the party on this but having missed the start completely and ran on for a creditable 4th, bound to be lower in the weights this time around I think there’s worse 50/1 pokes out there.

          I'm assuming a 'tipster' has put Benson up for this race, given the blue across the board for him.

          Having backed him for any race at 36.75/1 I'm happy if he were to just turn up, as I think he is a talent, as I had noted previously. Interested to hear others thoughts, now that he is best price 16/1 for this race, and the current clear favourite.

              Cheers BB Nice to know he thinks a fair bit of Benson too, makes me feel better about my judgement

                Interested to hear people's thoughts on Glynn for this. I know NH has last years winner Dame de Compagnie at shorter price in the betting but I think Glynn could be a Coral Cup horse and have taken 25/1 NRNB with Paddy Power.

                    Could do with him being entered in the Punchestown qualifier....

                      Gordon has a few entered, so it will be interesting to see which turn up.

                        The other one worth noting that's entered up is Silver Sheen.

                          Brewin'upastorm entered up over 2m 3f this weekend.

                          Lost his way a bit over fences, I wonder if a return to hurdles and a step back up in trip could revive him. Rated 148 currently.

                            With cedarwood road not getting any novice chase entries I wonder if connections would target something like the coral cup with him. He’s not priced up anywhere but I think he would be interesting if reverting to hurdles and possibly still unexposed off 145.

                              Column of fire declared with a 7lb claimer onboard.
                              be happy with a respectable fitness boosting run here?

                                They've always said he's more one for chasing next season so , following no entries, I don't think we'll see him at the Fez this year.
