I'm not so sure the ground will be a big issue. Going today is described as soft, good to soft in places. Banbridge has 6 wins and 3 places from 11 runs on similar going. On soft ground alone, 2 wins, 1 place from 4 runs and its win at last years festival was officially good to soft. I'd be less concerned about the ground today than the fact that it has two very good horses ahead of it in the market. That's not me saying it can't win. Of course it can, i just don't think the ground will be the excuse (cue the trainer pulling it out due to the ground haha). I wish i had the price you have. I'll be looking to do an acca today and Banbridge to place will be in it, one of the safest bets of the day in my opinion. Best of luck with your bets.

Non runner haha. You can't buy knowledge like this, you either have it or you don't
 
I wonder if we will see a good old Pipe plot come to fruition in the Pertemps Final today? Thanksforthehelp couldn't have won any easier at Chepstow in the final qualifier and, whilst an 11lbs rise might look a lot, he has only had 6 runs over hurdles so is entitled to show improvement. He has his 2nd run after wind surgery (can't remember whether that is perceived to be good or bad stats-wise) and hopefully he can get Mark Walsh into the winners enclosure.

The handicapper has been pretty relentless with the Irish horses again and Maxxum is now 25lbs higher than when sauntering home in the Leopardstown qualifier over Christmas - Tony Martin's Good Time Johnny might be the one to take from that race but he is 4lbs higher and Liam McKenna can only claim 5 here as opposed to 7 in Leopardstown. Gordon Elliott has one lurking right down at the bottom in Level Neverending and he could go well in first time blinkers. He got a little outpaced at Warwick and qualification looked in jeopardy but he closed well over the last half mile and was noticebly tenderly ridden up the home straight to finish 3rd. He runs off the same mark (126) today and could fare best of the Elliott battalions. Might be worth an e/w saver at 22s.

For the home team Nicky Henderson has 3 entered but Captain Morgs and Walking On Air didn't help their cause by winning last time out. Moka De Vassy has been contesting some pretty hot races the last 2 seasons as a juvenile and then novice hurdler and finished 3rd on handicap debut at Exeter to qualify for this. He runs off the same mark today and could go close if handling the rough and tumble. He has been found in the market though and 12/1 is skinny enough.
