since they made the fences easier to jump about 5 years ago meaning the quality of horse entering the race has improved ( hardly any out of the handicap now ) it's been almost impossible to pick the winner of this race

before that it wasn't difficult at all, I think between 1992 and 2006 I had the winner 9 times, none since 2007

The most interesting runner for me this year is Double Seven, trained by Martin Brassil ( won 2007 race with Numbersixvalverde ) , owned by J P McManus, on a good weight of 10-11, likes good ground. It's 33/1 right now and although J P Mcmanus still has 7 entries I think this is the one A P McCoy will be on. I have a small EW on it already.
