Both of these had a good week, and as a result I just think this one is probably closer to call than the current price structure suggests. Erjavec is well worth a look at this price.

I think it's always worth sitting up and taking notice when this stable keeps them in for races in quick succession. PROFIT STREET clearly has his eye in at the moment and could be hard to beat here.

I think TEDDY BLUE looks overpriced here. He stayed on in his first attempt over two and a half miles last time out, and I think the disappointing outcome was more down to an off day than the new trip. He has reacted well to softer ground in the past too, so I don't think it was that either. He won a lucrative (and tougher-looking) Grade 1 at Ascot earlier in the season and can be a player here if he matches that effort.

Age of Time is edging closer and closer to the winners' enclosure, so is worth keeping onside. This looks a decent price for a horse in such good form, who is likely to give his running once again.

Kieran O'Neill got GOLDEN PHARAOH very close to the win in two rides in two CD runs either side of the new year. Both of those came from higher in the handicap, and he returns to the saddle today. If you are prepared to forgive the absolute no-shows the last twice, we've got one that could get close if we catch a going day.

I think one of Selby or Xintong will win the Welsh Open. They both seem to be slightly ahead of the rest of the pack heading into the critical tournaments just before the World Championship starts after Easter.

Zhao is proving to be a really formidable threat at the moment. With the Worlds around the corner, he'll be keen to keep his great form going. It's either Selby or Zhao to win this for me.
