'He thrashed Ahoy Senor' - Charlie Deutsch and Megan Nicholls join our experts
Bravemansgame heads the Charlie Hall market. Are you with or against him?
Richard Birch, tipsterBravemansgame (3.35) looked a chaser of great potential when winning four times last season. He jumps superbly, and ought to relish Wetherby’s test. You can put a line through his Aintree defeat as he was clearly not right that day, and I can’t forget the way he thrashed Ahoy Senor last Christmas. With no Irish runners in opposition, he should win.
Charlie Deutsch, jockey I'd be more with Ahoy Senor (3.35). Bravemansgame was impressive early on last season but when he stepped up in grade he didn't perform and has a bit to prove. Ahoy Senor is pretty consistent.
Ryan McCue, Betfair Ahoy Senor (3.35) is the one to beat. He was very impressive when last seen at Aintree, is a course winner and has beaten Bravemansgame on more than one occasion.
