    I think Royal Guardsman will go well here - didn't manage to get a bet on though

    Not sure I can fancy River Maigue at the weights today Toppy - I think Far West has been impressive to date and has been given a nice break by Nicholls. Today just a rehersal of course ..............

    Can definitely understand it Oddy- its one of those where there are two clear schools of thought on the race and it depends which one you prefer.

    I think River Maigue might prove to be vastly underrated. Barry Geraghty has really talked him up and he doesn't do that without good reason. He tipped him up at the beginning of the season as one to follow over hurdles and he re-iterated his liking for the horse in todays ATR column.

    Knight Of Pleasure is very interesting at Haydock - out of his depth last time out in a Grade 2 but before that sprang a surprise to beat 1/3 shot For Two.

    Taken 5/4 on Definite Ruby at Wincanton - I'm sure she was down to run in a much better race than this recently
