My run through of tomorrow so everyone knows what to avoid given my form!
2:10 Having three stabs at this. Firstly, Flying Tiger. Flew up the hill last season when winning the Fred Winter, has been running creditably on soft over the winter, I fancy his chances. Secondly, Whiskey Sour. Another Mullins hurdler who's been keeping far higher company than this, he's already a Grade 1 winner on soft and I think this is a very very fair weight. Finally, Duca De Thaix. Handicap debutant that's creeped in at the bottom of the weights, can see him running a huge race with a first time tongue tie.
2:50 - I like really battle hardened horses in this race. The first one I'm going with is Beyond The Law for Mouse Morris. It's been 8 years since Mouse has even run one in this and I think that might be a tip in itself, he's a tough horse who will make a lovely staying chaser in time. He's had a wind op since his last run and if that brings about improvement he'll be bang there. The other I like is Callet Mad, he's been over fences and connections are looking to cleverly exploit him still being a novice hurdler, I think he will love this test and his extra experience could count for a lot.
3:30 Minella Rocco & Djakadam - With the ground as it is I've ultimately decided to go with two that I know will get the trip and have plenty of course form a big prices.
4:10 Balnaslow & On The Fringe - Balnaslow because he ran a cracker last year and OTF because Nina is back on.
4:50 Carter McKay & Mr Big Shot - I like big future chasing types in this and these two are exactly that.
5:30 Top Gamble, Some Plan & The Game Changer - All on nice marks, all should handle conditions very well.
