On a serious note, if that is allowed, the obvious choice is Any Second Now after his good run last year despite being brought to a standstill at the 12th. That brings in Escaria Ten as only a nose separated these 2 lto. However, they stand at 1st and 2nd favs and as it is difficult to split them, dutching the 2 at those odds (about 9/2) doesn't appeal. So I'm looking for some outsiders for a bit of fun
13yo Blaklion ran a cracker last year given his preparation following 2 years off the track, and being hampered at the first. He was 4th in 2017 when fav and carrying 11.1 and the following year was brought down at the first carrying 11.7. He jumps for fun, has had a better prep this year, winning 2 from 4 including strolling home 28l clear on soft ground before being pulled up lto. Is still lightly raced for his age. 80/1 is available and could give a good run
Another outsider I fancy is Easysland. I napped this one at 5/1 to beat Tiger Roll at Cheltenham 2 years ago. Having duly obliged he was allotted 11.7 for the GN. At 6yo this was a ridiculous ask and I prayed he wouldn't run, fancying him for the GN in 2-3 years. Well it is now 2 years so I have to go with him, especially with odds of 100/1 available
