Event	Southwell 12:40
Selection	Eradicate
Strength	10/10

Bookmaker/Price	Paddy Power @ 1.62
Reasoning	Dropped to a Class 4 Novices' Chase after a 4th of 7 effort to Al Ferof, For Non Stop, and Lancetto for the Markel Insurance Henry VIII Novices' Chase (Grade 1). None of his rivals here today are anywhere near the caiber of those rivals and deserves to be the favorite. He was beaten by a neck first time chasing against one rival coming from the Nicholls/McCoy combo. He won next time out by 30 lengths against two rivals then followed up with the 4th placed run in the Grade 1 race. He won the Grade 3 Swinton Hurdle the last two years and connections has high hopes over fences.

Selection	Joseph Lister
Strength	10/10

Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 2.10
Reasoning	Finished 2nd in two career starts over hurdles. Soft ground winner on the Flat for trainer John Gosden. Owner Nicky Henderson paid 50,000gns at Newmarket last October for the selection. The selection is progressing well being beaten by Forgotten Gold by 7 lengths on his hurdling debut. Then by only 1 1/4 lengths from Ohio Gold last time out. Ohio Gold has the potential to be useful and was the 2/7 favorite for that race. He had the benefit of exprience being raced at Cheltenham (Grade 2, 5th of 9) prior to beating the selection.
