Open Secret a real eyecatcher, given he ran really well in these similar conditions, and for a yard that does very well in this race. I think his mark looks very fair here, and he has been steadily improving with each run recently. If he improves further, he can seriously run well here.

Despite not having won yet, Roc Dino is improving with every run, especially since joining Mullins, and although this is the weakest handicap on the card, I don't think that they would be wasting time coming here. He finished behind a strong Elliott odds-on LTO, but was only beaten 3L. I think he can handle this trip, based on his french runs.

Was 100/1 last year, but ran pretty well and stayed on in the end even, I think that despite being 9 he may be even better this year judged by his convincing PTP win most recently. Course experience surely makes the difference here, and I think he can improve on that run with the same jockey.

In his prime this horse is probably the best in the field, and has been tried in many top class races over the years, although he ain't getting younger, I think this race could be right up his alley, with Pat mullins on board who is no stranger to these amateur races. He has plenty of proven stamina and honestly hunter chases are pretty low grade.

The selection looks dying out for this trip, especially given he won going away at Aintree 3m1f, I think he can easily reverse the form with The Jukebox Man with this longer distance, as there was really a hairs length separating them at Kempton. As usual, Irish are dominating this race in recent years, I think that this can be another predictable outcome.

This horse is a very respectable stayer on the flat, with some very strong placings in some top class races. He proved that he has the stamina as he bolted up in a maiden hurdle over 2m6f, the trainer + jockey combo here is also very interesting, with the only negative being that he has been off for quite some time. Expect at least a place here.

For some reason connections have been racing this horse at much shorter than he needs, which is 3m in my opinion, until now. Very versatile ground wise, and connections clearly like his chances a lot shooting him up into Grade 1. He ran very well in his 3m PTP, which proves he has the staying power to win a race like this, and he should be placed in prominent position.

The obvious form pick here is Dinoblue and I think he may just be the one here, who put in an impressive display and showed that he is still the same this year by holding up in two prep runs. hard to go against this T+J combo as they've already won this twice with similar types, and this race is not looking overly competitive.

This horse is very consitent, and last run can be comfortably excused due to being badly hampered. His 2nd in last year's arkle was no fluke in my opinion, and this is an easier race today, his weight is also not too excessive. Irish trainers have been running very well in this race and I expect at least a place here.

The selection is not so exposed yet, and ran very well on his first run at this track in higher grade. I think his weight given here is very generous, as recently he has been running quite well, especially LTO, which looked like a good return to form from some lesser runs. Yard have a great record in this race.

A return to this track and refitting of blinkers could spark a revival in this horse as he looked very abnormal in his last 2 runs. His weight is also looking very attractive given those last 2 runs, and I think that day at the C/D he went for home way too quickly.

Although the race he won was not the best, connections wasted no time in buying his horse up for a hefty sum and sent straight to Mullins, he has a good flat pedigree here, which can suit this type of race well, and showed no signs of blowing up on his debut in worse ground.

Many mullins runners here but I believe this one is the best of them all, first run after being shipped from France and it was a pretty impressive one, the heavy ground may have messed him up that day, but he made very good headway from the back to finish 2nd. The good/goodsoft ground should suit this type of horse.

Yard looks to have targetted this race, and LTO was the highlight of his chase career, in testing conditions he was able to stay on for a very respectable 4th. His mark here is attractive, and I like this trainer jockey combo a lot. He'll surely be suited by this track, and needs to be ridden prominently.

The selection is returning to the track and I am sure it will suit, the last time he ran here, he ran way above expectations in my opinion, before a bad mistake blew his chances, his jumping seems to have improved now, and his mark is pretty good.

This horse has done nothing but improve with every run the past 2 year, with a very strong 2nd that has been franked massively recently. This is a very fair mark in my opinion for this type of race, and if he continues further he'll go very close.

Yeah Man is the dark horse for me who can exploit his lower hurdles mark and on his best days he can put in a strong performance. He has course experience here and although on paper looked well beaten, I think he put in a very good effort, and this is his perfect trip.

Although this horse has not run at Cheltenham for around 3 years, he looked to love the track a lot that day, and looked a big standout from the rest. His recent chase career has been pretty good, and his prep run was convincing enough to show that the yard has targetted this race.

This horse is a very consistent stayer, finishing well behind some top tier horses, but has proven he does not fold under pressure. This track looks to suit his run style, and LTO was from a sizeable layoff. He should now have freshened up, and for sure has what it takes to run a good race.

I'm not a fan of Wodhooh due to his most recent run being far from impressive in a very uncompetitive race. The selection however boasts some proven Graded competitive hurdle form, including a very strong boldly ridden 2nd in this race last year behind Lossiemouth, there is no Lossiemouth type today, and in my opinion he went off in front way too quick. With the stable jockey here now, he can win.

Slade Steel although constantly getting 2nds, he has been consistently well clear of the rest, and finding classy types in front of him. His mark is very attractive given how well he has been running, and at handicap level, I think he can outclass these ones here,

Wingmen's run style will definitely suit to this race, and he's been given in my opinion a very fair mark given what he is capable of in his best days. On his last run at this track, he ran very well but clearly stretched by the distance, this drop back down will definitely suit.

The selection has some admirable consistency, and being here for the first time suggests they are not here to waste time. The latest run has been her career best, where she made smooth headway, but just too late. The extra furlong will definitely suit, and with a better jockey, she can get a graded win.

White Noise may have been too stretched by the 2m3f trip LTO, but has shown some strong performances as is improving rapidly with every run. Very far exposed, but LTO proves she does not fold under graded pressure. Her running style is also perfect for this type of race.

The way the selection won last time is probably the most interesting here of the field. He won absolutely going away and full of energy off top weight, in a ground which I believe is similar to today's. I liked how calm and strong he was from the front there, which is another plus as this race favours those up front.

Return to this better ground should suit the selection well, as he clearly did not like the heavy past 2 runs. His latest run at this C/D was not bad, where he made some decent headway in the final circuit and stayed on decently in the stretch. On that form, he is very well handicapped today in my opinion.

This could be the moment for these connections' lives, older horses run better in this race, and last race in G1 company was no fluke at all. He looked the winner all of the final circuit, jumping boldly, and put the odds-on fav under heavy pressure. This horse does however have some experience racing here, and although 10/16 that day, I think that run was actually ok. The connections here are surely not wasting their time trying a race like this.

Bunting is an eyecatcher here, who runs off a very attractive weight, and interesting trainer jockey combo. I feel he is a late bloomer here, who is starting to get his act together as he has raced too freely in the past. His most recent run in this similar conditions was pretty good, and he stayed on well. Most importantly, he can handle big fields, and he'll definitely need to be setup midfield/prominent here to win.

The selection looks dying out for this longer trip, I'm going to excuse LTO because that looked very abnormal and he was heavily expected to win that race at 3/10. Previously he has run at this track and grade, once again well-fancied to win, and in fairness to him, he was up against some very top tier horses in the form of their life. I am hoping the tongue tie will help him here.

I'll have to side with the favourite here who on paper looks the best horse here, loved the way he bolted up at this C/D in 1 grade lower, and proved he can handle top grade winning decisively last time. This for a career best, and although there is a big field, I think most of these are vulnerable.

This race suits front runners and Jipcot seems to have changed his tactics to front running. Always ridden by the same jockey, I think he's very well handicapped here, and unlike other races, this one is not so dominated by irish. Although he was well beaten here, he was held-up last that day, and no one is winning from there. With his good weight he can exploit from the front.

Although his 100/1 win in a similar race to this last year looked like a fluke, I would disagree, I liked the way he made headway to win that day, and his last run is open to loads of improvement especially off a long layoff. I think the race conditions are perfect for him, and he is far from unexposed at this level.

Johnnywho ain't won for a while, but I believe this 9yo is not done yet. Connections have finally got his long awaited wind op and cheekpieces, suggesting they are here to win. And he has good proven stamina, finishing well in the irish grand national, as long as he is not ridden too far back, he can go well.

Saratoga an eyecatcher here due to the flat breeding, and that coould make the difference here against weaker bred horses, the owners are also eyecatching here, and last race was in my opinion a massive improvement second up from a layoff. I'm sure he'll appreciate better ground here too, and if racing in a prominent position I like his chances a lot.

Although the selection has not run for around 100 days, his win in this C and D last year was convincing enough. He travelled strongly throughout, proving he can handle the track. A minor blunder at the last is worrying, but he may be more suited to chases, as his debut chase run was no joke.

Mighty Park catches the eye here, having bolted up at Fairyhouse after a year off. Although Irish maidens are usually very uncompetitive, the other Mullins runner in 2nd was a decent horse, and I liked his no-nonsense attitude that day. In these conditions, he may be able to exploit his front-running style.
