    1.30 Cheltenham - Whatdoeawant @ 20/1
    Would rather look for some each-way value here and I think there's still plenty more to come from this one - still lightly raced and has shaped with inexperience throughout his career to date. Looks the type that will relish a decent gallop around Cheltenham, will stay no problem and both wins have come when fresh, so the 2-month absence is of no concern. Hopefully can make the first three at least.
    2.10 Cheltenham - Beacon Edge @ 12/1
    There are a lot of exuberant types in this race and I think they're going to go off hard here, which could set it up nicely for something to bide their time and swoop late. I really like Beacon Edge to go well here - 4th in the stayers' hurdle last year and hasn't done too much wrong since the switch to fences. Only just denied by Farouk D'alene last time out but gets a 7lb swing with that rival today and this one's form ties in with Gabynako, who franked the form yesterday, so 12/1 looks a big price with this likely to be run to suit.
    2.50 Cheltenham - Indigo Breeze @ 16/1
    Inexperience would be the worry for this one but I think he's well handicapped, especially going up in trip today. Won going away from a horse now rated 136 in November and then backed it up with a solid 2nd to a 140-rated horse last time when losing his position in a small field before rallying. Gets in off 134 today and surely will relish the extra yardage here. Had one previous go at 2m4f but something was clearly amiss that day so will forgive him that, and he's a half brother to Brindisi Breeze so you'd like to think he'll stay no problem. If he holds his position and jumps okay, I think he's got a huge chance.
    3.30 Cheltenham - Nube Negra @ 18/1
    Seems a bit of a bonkers price to me, for all Shishkin sets a high standard. Brings experience over fences to the race and really ought to have won it last year. This year's renewal perhaps is stronger but finished ahead of Chacun Pour Soi who is a much shorter price today and Nube Negra needs to be fresh to perform at his best. Was impressive earlier this season when returning from a break and just seems sure to run his race and to me, at the price, he's the bet of the race each-way.
    4.10 Cheltenham - Brahma Bull @ 20/1
    Not a race to get too invested in but worth chancing Brahma Bull at a big price I think - one of the classier runners in the field and you can draw a line through its run last time when bursting a blood vessel and never jumping. Much of his best form has come on good ground, stays well and if taking to these obstacles he could make this price look a bit silly.
    4.50 Cheltenham - Embittered @ 12/1
    Was going well when favourite for the race last year off a higher mark and I think could be primed to strike now. Ran some solid races in the spring and although less promising this season, never had a chance last time out in a Grade 1 and his mark has been protected for this race as a result. Weighted to go very well, has decent ground which appears to suit and I think we could see a different horse today.

    1.30 - 0.5pts e/w Shallwehaveonemore @ 66/1
    Just can't back any of the favourites with confidence as hard to weigh up the British vs Irish form. Instead, having a tentative e/w poke on an outsider but not a no hoper in my eyes. Ran behind Constitution Hill at Sandown but this one's best form has come on a sounder surface and can't fault its form under these sort of conditions. Ideally should have won last time but there were some mitigating factors and just looks a shade big for all he has plenty to do on most grounds. 
    2.10 - 1pt e/w Gabynako @ 18/1
    Looks plenty of pace on here and I think it could be a frantic race. Jumping and stamina will be put to the test and I think Gabynako is overpriced. Don't think the drop back in trip is a major problem and has been competing with top class horses in the main over 2m4f. Looks overpriced to me. 
    2.50 - 1pt e/w Tea Clipper @ 12/1
    Really like the prospects of this one - form dropped off a bit but his record fresh is very good and the break/wind surgery can set him up nicely for this. Stays well, on his day can jump well too and is weighted to go very well if putting it all together. 
    4.10 - 1pt e/w Indefatigable @ 25/1
    Another overpriced runner in my eyes - poor last time out but that was a rare poor run and these conditions are optimum for her. Very solid form when winning at Wetherby earlier in the season (over a trip I think is not even her best) and was 4th in this race last year. Can see her getting into the mix again. 
    4.50 - 1pt e/w Britzka @ 20/1
    Taking a bit of a punt on this one as he's clearly a bit of a character but when putting it all together has proven he's capable of smart performances. Had three races in quick succession at Christmas and it possibly just took its toll - been given a break since, gets the blinkers on and if travelling better in this bigger field, I can see him coming home well. Equally might throw in the towel early on, but worth a go at the price!
    5.30 - 3pts win Stattler @ 5/2
    I think his win last time out is the strongest form in the field and looks an out and out stayer so essentially a lot to like against largely inferior rivals here I think.

    Taking a bit of a punt on this one as he's clearly a bit of a character but when putting it all together has proven he's capable of smart performances. Had three races in quick succession at Christmas and it possibly just took its toll - been given a break since, gets the blinkers on and if travelling better in this bigger field, I can see him coming home well. Equally might throw in the towel early on, but worth a go at the price!
    5.30 - 3pts win Stattler @ 5/2
    I think his win last time out is the strongest form in the field and looks an out and out stayer so essentially a lot to like against largely inferior rivals here I think.

    1.30 - 0.5pts e/w Shallwehaveonemore @ 66/1
    Just can't back any of the favourites with confidence as hard to weigh up the British vs Irish form. Instead, having a tentative e/w poke on an outsider but not a no hoper in my eyes. Ran behind Constitution Hill at Sandown but this one's best form has come on a sounder surface and can't fault its form under these sort of conditions. Ideally should have won last time but there were some mitigating factors and just looks a shade big for all he has plenty to do on most grounds. 
    2.10 - 1pt e/w Gabynako @ 18/1
    Looks plenty of pace on here and I think it could be a frantic race. Jumping and stamina will be put to the test and I think Gabynako is overpriced. Don't think the drop back in trip is a major problem and has been competing with top class horses in the main over 2m4f. Looks overpriced to me. 
    2.50 - 1pt e/w Tea Clipper @ 12/1
    Really like the prospects of this one - form dropped off a bit but his record fresh is very good and the break/wind surgery can set him up nicely for this. Stays well, on his day can jump well too and is weighted to go very well if putting it all together. 
    4.10 - 1pt e/w Indefatigable @ 25/1
    Another overpriced runner in my eyes - poor last time out but that was a rare poor run and these conditions are optimum for her. Very solid form when winning at Wetherby earlier in the season (over a trip I think is not even her best) and was 4th in this race last year. Can see her getting into the mix again.

    12.15 Cheltenham - 1pt e/w Doctor Ken @ 16/1
    Not sure why he's such a big price here - he wasn't impressive last time but possibly it came too soon after his seasonal reappearance and of these runners, looks one of those who will benefit most from conditions. His two half siblings were very smart and I think there's more to come from this one.
    12.50 Cheltenham - 2pts win Undersupervision @ 9/2
    Very keen on this one today - has run well here a few times recently including last time out when the small field didn't play to his strengths. Wants a true test which he'll get today on this ground and I think he can win this.
    1.43 Southwell - 1pt win Straitouttacompton @ 15/2
    Whilst the surface is different at Southwell now, quite a lot of course form has held up and this course specialist ran really well on seasonal return after wind surgery last time out. Didn't get a great run through that day but with fitness now on side, looks to have another good chance. 
    2.00 Cheltenham - 1pt e/w Kauto Riko @ 18/1
    Looks fairly treated still and ran well last time so a bit surprised about the price here - a stiff test over this trip on soft ground is spot on and was competing in top handicaps here with credit last season so no reason why there shouldn't be another big run.
    2.35 Cheltenham - 1pt e/w Spiritofthegames @ 12/1
    Another one who can definitely win off his current mark and the return to hurdling looks a good move having failed to fire over fences last time. Relishes a good test which he'll get today and looks a big each-way player.
