Precious Eleanor, is our selection, this front running type is down in class and proven on the surface and over distance. The Venetia Williams trained horse Gemirande is likely to go off favourite but her yard is not firing as it usually is at this time of the year, in contract Henry Daly, who only has a small yard, is operating at a 30% strike rate over the last 2 months, hence I was surprised to see our selection at this price.

Kiltealy Bridge, set impressive speed figures at Aintree last time out, in defeat, this looks a more straight forward race today and a good bit of placement by Jamie Snowden, if the horse can get a clear round from the front, suiting his desire to be in the lead from the outset, he should take this today.

Theme Tune, successful at Haydock last time out on soft, he can expect the conditions to be no better today, has form on heavy, preferring the softer stuff and has a similar profile to likely market leader Top of the Bill, furthermore, he won last time out off a similar weight unlike those ahead of him in the market who are carrying much heavier today.

Tahmuras, this French bred for Paul Nicholls is a bigger price than expected due to the other French bred fancy, for Gary Moore, Authorised Speed. In what looks a match, preference is for the Ditcheat stable. The 4-timer is very much on today and a positive front running ride from Cobden should be expected, trainer and jockey having a 25% strike rate at the course over Hurdles.

Iceo, again for the Nicholls and Cobden pair, having a first run in a handicap hurdle today and preferring soft in his only victory thus far, the price was almost double my tissue this morning hence is a selection.
