The Paddy Power
Anybody have thoughts on the big one on Saturday.
I'm lining up a decent bet - wanna try and book the holiday and there does seem to be some strong trends.
Looking at the last 10 winners, quite a few have shouldered over 11 stone to victory and for a race this open on paper, there havn't been many huge shocks (biggest price in last 10 years 16/1 and 4 favourites have obliged). The majority have been 6 or 7 year olds (although I don't tend to take a huge amount of notice of that particular stat).
Anyway, I quite the look of Nicky Henderson's - fits the above criteria, has form round Cheltenham and I think it will be Barry Geragthy onboard who knows how to win a big race.
Obviously you can make a case for a load of them, any thoughts anyone?
