I'm heavily invested in Springfield Fox. I'll be disappointed if he isn't right in the mix.

Ramses De Teillee for me @ 12/1 EW. I fancied him over Christmas but was worried the race would come too soon after Aintree, so personally delighted at an extra 2 weeks. On paper that Aintree run looks like a shocker because he's 7th and beaten 94L, but it really wasn't. He didn't take to the fences at all and it was a run littered with mistake after mistake. Despite this, he kept delivering himself back into the race, travelled eye catchingly strongly, the mistakes just caught up with him. He looked to me like a horse in rude health that day, and I thought he had an experience advantage over some of the market principles here. He's run very well in this race before, will love the heavy conditions and the Pipe yard are in form with a 30% strike rate over the last 14 days. He doesn't leap off the page as a brilliant bet, it's more of a gentle building of ticks in the plus column. I think he'll really enjoy being back at Chepstow over their obstacles vs Aintree. I'd like to see Tom Scudamore ride him up with the pace (if there is any) because making up ground at Chepstow on heavy will be challenging but yeh, 5 places 12/1 EW RDT feels solid enough to me.

I agree here Charlie, he's now available at 20/1 for 6 places which seems far too big a price, willing to ignor last time out and should enjoy being back over normal fences,mark may be tricky but you know he will stay til next Christmas and that's what you need at Chepstow on heavy.

Do also like the look of Lord Du Mensil for this at 14s, another one who should stay the trip well and will relish the ground. Looks like this was a big focus to me considering he ran in the Sefton over a trip that was certainly never going to suit him, seems like an easy way to get the legs ticking over without giving him too hard a race.
