Theonewedreamof is the one they all have to beat here and if you want a win saver, bet accordingly. The conditions though will be extreme and this is a very undulating and tricky Course to ride so nothing can be considered "bomb proof". Too Bright has an each way chance as does Bolero, that one has perhaps the strongest overall form but will probably need the run. Loudest Whisper has some Course form and can run well fresh but these conditions may test fitness to the full. Deep Sigh has winning form in heavy but at a much shorter trip. At very BIG Odds I'm a bit intrigued by the booking of Seamie Herrernan on the ex Varian and Botti trained Mojazaffa, a horse that's really not lived up to pedigree or potential but this would be a race it should at least be competitive in.

 

The three who most interest me in order of preference are, STELLIFY whose form last Autumn when placing at Galway and Navan in soft conditions off marks of 49 and 52 would suggest a 7lbs Claim off a mark of 53 would give it excellent place prospects at least. YENILLIK who has run very well fresh on a few occasions and who gets much further than this over Fences and off a nice Flat markof 54 and KANZINO who has not taken to the winter game over Hurdles but who comes here fit and did win in the UK for Karl Burke over 12 furlongs on soft going and whose usually prominent running style on the Flat may be ideally suited here if it can set the fractions.
