Re: Jump Racing Sat 23rd Oct Aintree 16:00 Going for a massive outsider here, one who I think is unexposed at the trip, and could run a race at a big price in Top It All. Rose Dobbin's mount is yet to win and has only finished in the places once, and that was over 2m2f in a novice hurdle three runs ago. Was staying on that day quite nicely, and not surprised they upped him in trip to 3m1f. He went off favourite in that race, and although finishing 8th, ran OK. The main reason why he didn't run very well was that they went an absolute dawdle, the slow pace not suiting, and his jumping suffered because of it. Stayed on adequately at the end showing he does stay this distance. So he should, being closely related to a prolific winner at this class/distance. Returned from the summer break in a race run over an extremely inadequate distance of just over 2miles, which was definitely being used as a tune-up race, possibly even for this contest. Hit a fence and was beat quickly after that, but am willing to draw a line through that. Will have come on for it, and the distance was far too sharp anyway for it to be considered. A mark of 95 may seem to be on the small side for a horse that has scope for improvement at this trip at 3 miles. Rose Dobbin has never had a horse at Aintree, although she hasn't been training that long. She's done well in the past couple of weeks, with a nice winner last Saturday, and all of her runners giving it a good go. At the likely prices, even upwards of 33/1, I'm willing to give Top It All a chance. It's a tough race, and a few are open to improvement as well and some represent powerful connections. Considering this, I'm fairly confident that he can make the first four. Price to be updated in the morning.
