The bookies have put her in short enough because of the rule 4.
That looks a great bet Q. What else you fancy tomorrow?
only just seen this.
I've backed 5 for big race posted on here.
magic saint my favourite bet of day.
And the other 3 i've backed so far.
Downtown getaway 11/2
Molineaux 16-1
Storm goddess 50-1 ew
He has 29 lengths to find with elegant Escape in this race last year but is only 1lb better off with the champ than last year.
Both horses have improved.

Good point West Approach was originally rated 157 though could never live up to it. Dropped to 142 in a small field race Power worked his magic.
The horse hasnt improved he just dropped 15lb below his original chase mark and took advantage of it last time.
He cannot reverse the 29 lengths beating The Champ gave him last year.
4lb well in racing off 146 here but this race is much tougher and he isnt consistent.
youve got to hope the headgear and new jockey help speed EE up a bit on this ground, and they might help.
Don't strongly fancy WA to be fair, but he looks a different horse this season. and a typically messed about tizzard horse too.
West approach favourite now for the Hennessey ???
can't be right can it ?
think the dog might have had it's day, but fingers crossed.
This horse regularly gets punted.
Back in his hurdling days he was about to beat Uknowhatimeanharry in the fog at Ascot when he fell, and in last seasons Whitbread he was backed from something like 28/1 into 5/1, clearly someone close to the horse knows his talent hasn't yet been fully witnessed in public.
I've had a small bet West Approach but I've had a decent interest in On The Blind Side.
Shame the horse doesn't like Cheltenham's undulations or he'd be a viable Gold Cup option....
I think it'll need Robbie to have balls of steel to win today. Needs to deliver him well after the last, or I'd be worried something will come past him.
It's turning into some gamble though. Any idea I had of him winning the Ultima could be out of the window after today though
Danny Whizzbang will be exciting to watch against Rederve Tank and Artheven.
Nicholls is talking down his chance saying he started ttaining later than most of his horses and will come on for the run.
A potentially top horse in time however who may be able to win despite needing the run. Won his point to point and 2 hurdles. He has wasted no time switching him to chasing and this could be a big player come Cheltenham.
Only gone for Elegant Escape @ 20/1 EW in the the big one. There is just so much in his favour. His form this side of Xmas is excellent, contrary to misconception his record on better ground is very good, he’s got Cobden in the saddle, he’ll be race fit and will have had an extra week to put him bang on.
