3.10C Welsh National. I think Sean could have picked from 4 or 5 of these to ride, and think the fact he went with Springfield Fox to be significant. Love long distance, loves soft/heavy ground, although has been running in lower class, has won well when he's won previously, unseated the rider at Cheltenham, but that was after being quite badly hampered, so can be forgiven, and was far from being out of the race at the time. 8/1 6 places with PP and BF seems good to me, especially given I don't like the favourite, and certainly not at half the price of Sean's. Others I like are Christmas In April (10/1) and Yala Enki (14/1). Vieux Lion Rouge seems overpriced at 20/1, although would certainly be my 4th choice in the race.
1.25C Yggdrasil (14/1) is the one I like here as an EW bet. He was green in his first race, and while no match for the first two, did well to get third. A bit more experienced this time, he hopefully will make the first 3, currently 14/1 pretty much everywhere.
1.30W Martha Brae. Although the form figures don't look particularly inspiring she's had three handicap hurdle starts this season. She's started well in these races, led the last twice before stopping very quickly. She's had a wind operation maybe that will do the trick. Also drops in distance which ought to suit. She still could be anything in terms of true handicap ability in relation to her actual handicap mark. Taking a big chance that the wind op will have helped, but 25/1 4 places looks like decent value.
Caoilin Quinn takes 10lb off, and has only ridden in 3 races, winning two.
3.30K Polish, struggling to find a 4th one for the lucky 15, but this is sitting there and unless i notice something later, will put this one in. 18/1 6 places looks a fairly decent price to me, and might drift with it being quite a decent race and the top two in the market having money for them over the past 24 hours. Don't think it will win, but I wouldn't be laying 18/1 for it not to be in the first third of the field. There are worse bets in the race
Short price, but think McFabulous will take all the beating in the 2.20K.
