Spent bit more time on this and the potential "upsets" where value might be
There are several i like, though the main ones are all risky on whether they go.....
Banbridge - He's 7-1 with a run, but up to 40s on exchange.....he ran better than Energumene at weights and has good form at 2m. One Man won this and i think the KG too? They'll prob go elsewhere (even GC), but if you like a few speculative ones in the book, we all know plans change in coming weeks and this fellow could easily win this if he ran. He has recorded two 170 RPRs at 2m
Il Est Francais - i think this is where he SHOULD go, but if he comes to Cheltenham, then more likely he goes Ryanair....but id love him from the front here and i think in a Ryanair he could be running out of puff up that hill. If he turns up, i this would be my pick
Jungle Boogie - i mentioned this in Ryanair thread. Has run to 163, but only had 7 races and even at his age could easily improve at this new trip. Bit like Francais, could see him go from front One Man style. More likely Ryanair, but at 33-1 NRNB and longer enter-post, i think he is interesting. Henry always has his primed for March.
Quilixios - needs to improve 7 pounds or so to be in this, but he's young and has won at the festival, plus again Hery will have him spot on. Arkle he missed the start. Don't think he will be that far away
The others on my radar are Captain Guiness, but prob more as a place bet this year and similar with Found a Fifty. Both concerning re current well-being though
