2.2pts Imperial Commander @10/11 3.25 Haydock: Should have won this last year going down by a nose to Kauto. Has a good record fresh and is about a stone better than the rest of these horses. He is the best chaser in training and should be considerably shorter in my book.
1.5pts Zaynar @15/8 2.35 Ascot; Never a big fan of this guy but you can't argue with 3rd in both the Champion Hurdle and Aintree. Won this last year and with Karabak being cut back in trip you would have to think it will suit him more than his main rival. Nicholl's runner is obviously a good horse but he is being thrown in at the deep end here.
0.5pts e/w King Edmund @ 9/1 (bet365) : The favourite here could be anything and will probably win but I would make this guy the pick of the rest.
1pt Quinola Des Obeaux 30.0 (Betfair) Huntingdon 1.05: The favourite here always struggled to jump hurdles and I feel it is only a matter of time before that proves his undoing over fences. QdO has seen a racecourse much - 2 easy bumper wins before a flop at Cheltenham and then a good hurdle win before picking up an injury next time out. If fit to go here he can have a real crack at this.
Football to follow about 1pm
