    With Galvin and RWF having blown their marks and this lad been entered for a spin round the fences in the Becher this seems a good price for what could be elliot’s main hope
    I’ve been toying with this one for a while. The question is, will he be going to win the Becher or will they be just giving him an easy time to get him used to the National fences…hmm…

      I was thinking about this and surely it will be the latter. Off 152 as an English mark, stick him round the national fences in a remote 5th, then over the season manage that mark, maybe even drop a few lb. Could even sneak under 11st of there's the right top weight there.

      With the current situation of Gordon's national options and even Farclas sneaking up the ratings, surely he won't want to win the Becher and blow another mark? Might've talked myself into having a small bet on Escaria if he is declared next weekend!

        • Ontheropes 100/1 for this with 365 looks far too big. Got too far back at the weekend but actually ran quite respectably in the circumstances I think. He looks the have the low jumping style that suits to flick through the top of the Aintree fences and he’s been mentioned as a possible for this race by Ruby

            Agree. I’ve had a play at that price too.

            • Nice spot. Hadn’t realised otherwise I’d have had a small play at those odds. Now down to 33/1.

                            Yes but he might rely on Gordon running Galvin (unlikely imo) or Delta Work (possible) or Willie running Melon (unlikely I'd have thought) to keep his weight within reasonable limits.

                              • Happy enough with weights for my two picks of Escaris Ten and Ontheripes. May need to look at farclas
