'He was second here last year, looks an even better horse now - and he might well be 40-1 or bigger on the day'

What's the best bet of the meeting?

The 33-1 I secured on The Wallpark in the Stayers' Hurdle stands out as my best bet. Even the current 12-1 is still a fair price, although it’s worth remembering he could run in the Pertemps. His finishing speed is exceptional and, in his last two starts at Cheltenham and Ascot, not a single hurdler on either card finished faster than him.

My only concern is that connections might alter their tactics. He should be held up regardless of the pace, even if it means sitting off a slow gallop. Hold-up tactics suit him and there’s no reason to change a strategy that plays to his strengths.
