Not certain that qualifies him and googling it is a pain.
Not sure how accurate this is.

Not sure how accurate this is.
Not certain that's 100% accurate and where the dates come into it.
Rockys also a decent price on Sky 28-1 NRNB
Got decent form for this race. And definitely coming back for another go according to the race report.

Just had a last little look through and have decided on this.
Turners - Kopek des Bordes 8/1 or 7/2 nrnb - decided to get him in before he runs the weekend, after which he's hopefully vying for favouritism.
mares novice hurdle - Sixandahalf 4/1 or 7/2 nrnb - i loved that performance the other week, she'd be shorter if trained by willie.
Ryanair - Protektorat 8/1 and 8/1 nrnb - unfortunately no longer 25/1 but still think he's a decent price and he's the reigning champion, was very impressive at Windsor lto.
Albert Bartlett - The Big Westerner 8/1 or 7/1 nrnb - liked her last performance and she's had quite a few mentions so in she goes, hoping mozzies sister runs a decent race tomorrow for a form boost !
Works out to 3644/1 antepost (betway) or 2591 nrnb (paddy power) for the acca.
Honourable mentions to better days ahead and angels dawn !
Good luck to anyone who goes in with it and thanx for letting me choose one.
