It's usually an even number - probably 24 maximum field

Thank you. There are some high profile horses such as Champers and Ice and Singlefarmpayment at 26 and 28 in the declarations respectively. Presumably these horses are not guaranteed a run
 
Champers on Ice is going for the NH Chase. Singlefarmpayment will get a run because there are quite a few above him in the weights who are skipping the race.

You fancy any horse in particular Unexposed?

Not exactly ground breaking but the two I follow closely are the Druids Nephew and Holywell, both solid grade 3 horses in my opinion and look very well treated. I will be having a closer look to see if anything else could be lurking but at the moment these two woud be on my short list.
 
Winner down at the bottom somewhere ?

The booking of Dickie Johnson on A Good Skin is eye catching...

Runner up in the Kim Muir last year off a higher rating and won't have a thrown in Cause Of Causes to deal with here. Great jockey, nice racing weight, course form and a similar prep to last year. Could be an each way steal.
 
Gonna have an ew on Vintage Clouds in this, was 3rd at Haydock lto in the Nash trial and was finishing better than anything, got to within a few lengths at the end of the current Nash fav. Brian Hughes was on that day and Sean Quinlan takes the ride tomoz, stable couldn't be in better form, 3 from 3 at Market Rasen on Sunday, and they don't send horses for a day out, at 33's I'm happy to have a little
faith that they know what they're doing,
 
I like him too MMG. Stuck Go Conguer in their too. Jonjo likes this race.
 
I can just about understand the price of Holywell despite the fact he has looked washed up but Henri Parry Morgan?
 
Hugh Taylor has put up Go Conquer - pretty sure he struck in this race in 2015 with The Druids Nephew ... no idea what he tipped last year... I remember 2015 because I followed him in haha
 
Have decided to go with Pilgrims Run. Nice bit of value in it too. Best of luck all for the week
