March 14, 20197 yr Author Here we go: dobbo: 10 4F11-11 Kemboy 7 11-10 T: W P Mullins J: D J Mullins 9/1 About: Fourth to Shattered Love (JLT last year) he's come on leaps and bounds since then winning his last four races; best performance last time (Savills Chase; good guide to this). Dismissed some proven Grade 1 performers there; unexposed at staying trips.
March 14, 20197 yr Author Sarah: 16 125-220 Shattered Love 8 11-3 T: G Elliott J: J W Kennedy 22/1 About: Only mare in the field (last year's JLT winner by 7L) but hasn't won since that success (may have slipped under the radar). Reportedly had sore shins when below-par (behind Kemboy) last time; given time/wind op, not out of this.
March 14, 20197 yr Author SevenSeize: 14 12/54-32 Thistlecrack 11 11-10 T: C L Tizzard J: T Scudamore 12/1 About: Injuries appear to have robbed this top-class performer of his chance to land this although he has looked back to his best in two starts this season. Has a chance to reverse King George form with Clan Des Obeaux; advancing years make him vulnerable.
March 14, 20197 yr Author PeteFromLeeds: 8 33-1212 Elegant Escape 7 11-10 T: C L Tizzard J: T J O'Brien 16/1 About: Tough and genuine sort who gives his trainer a strong hand; finished third in last season's RSA (behind Presenting Percy). Showed his true worth this season as a staying chaser (after a wind op); won Welsh Grand National, needs a real stamina test.
March 14, 20197 yr Author Mack: 2 1F34-62 Anibale Fly 9 11-10 T: A J Martin J: B J Geraghty 22/1 About: High-class chaser, third in this last year (loved the testing conditions); then finished fourth in the Grand National. Brought along very quietly this season (two runs over inadequate trips); would have a place chance again in similar conditions.
March 14, 20197 yr Author Mart!n 4 1632-1F Bristol De Mai 8 11-10 T: N A Twiston-Davies J: D A Jacob 25/1 About: Flat tracks appear to suit him much better although he did finish runner-up in the JLT here. Has on occasion turned in some devastating performances but fell in the King George last time. Doubts remain that he can improve on his seventh in 2017.
