No2 EDWARDSTONE (Nap)
Coach: Alan King – Jockey: Tom Cannon

EDWARDSTONE spent the early a part of the season chasing Jonbon’s shadow however then didn’t make the most of what regarded a superb alternative over an extended journey at Kempton.

No8 BRENTFORD HOPE (Every Approach)
Coach: Harry Derham – Jockey: Paul O’Brien

This historic race, which presents punters with a betting bonanza, wants a horse that travels kindly off a powerful tempo and handles loads of lower within the floor. A number of within the contest are able to doing that, together with high weight LUCCIA and Irish raider OCASTLE DES MOTTES.

ALTOBELLI additionally brings stable kind to the desk however my choice is for BRENTFORD HOPE, who’s skilled at Boxford, a village solely 4 miles from the racecourse. The seven-year-old has put collectively a powerful document of three successes since becoming a member of his coach, and went down by solely two lengths when third to Hansard over this course and distance when final seen in early December. Count on the seven-year-old to be one of many final to come back beneath a journey, and I anticipate him to earn.

Prediction: 1st BRENTFORD HOPE, 2nd Altobelli, third Luccia, 4th OCASTLE Des Mottes

Coach: Hugo Palmer – Jockey: Kevin Stott

HE’S A GENTLEMAN has developed a ‘Mr Consistency’ aura round him and goes into this with spectacular incomes figures of 231212.
