Robbie Wilders: shun the obvious and focus on under-the-radar Grade 1 stars

My core strategy is to avoid horses I envisage going off at odds-on for bonus races and focus on runners with the ability to strike in top company at juicier SPs.

Ahoy Senor did just that when capturing the Sefton last season at odds of 66-1. He's likely to be underestimated due to his connections.

I've backed Fiddlerontheroof for the Ladbrokes Trophy and it would not surprise me to see him tackling Grade 1s later in the campaign.

also looks as if he could go to the top over fences based on the evidence of his winning chasing debut in a hot race at Down Royal.

A Plus Tard's campaign will revolve around the Betfair Chase, the Savills Chase and the Cheltenham Gold Cup. I think he could win all three of those bonus races.

I want a two-mile chaser on my side and Greaneteen fits the bill. He finished fourth in the Haldon Gold Cup on his return but his mark of 168 meant his task was nigh on impossible.

I'll also throw in a handicapper. Anthony Honeyball has entered Sam Brown in the Betfair Chase but I expect connections to exploit his mark of 148 instead.

Klassical Dreamcould mop up in the staying hurdle division and he has every chance of claiming Honeysuckle's unbeaten record in the Hatton's Grace this month.

Echoes In Rain might serve it up to Honeysuckle in the Champion Hurdle too. This speedy mare could establish herself as Willie Mullins' top two-miler.

There has been plenty of dialogue surrounding novice hurdle prospects Kilcruit and Sir Gerhard but O'Toole split the pair at the Punchestown festival.

Three Stripe Life is another unexposed novice to keep onside. He ran a blinder in the Champion Bumper on his second start.
