    I was of the same mind HF. However, based on Justin O'Hanlon's twitter response to me, it was more a question of how could the winner not have won more easily:
    Well, it didn’t look good and it would have been a dereliction of duty not to point it out, it’s my opinion that every book available would have been thrown at them if the horse had been beaten. Any unbiased observer would come to the same conclusion.

      • I'll get these in early.

        Highland Lodge 14/1 ew in the Becher (ante post). Only 1lb higher than his 2nd last season and he really should have won that race. A previous winner of the race in 2015, the ground should be perfect and I think he'll be in the mix turning for home.

        Finians Oscar 2/1. I think he'll show just how good he is tomorrow. Brain Power is a horse I've never really taken to and I can't have him as fav in this.

        Mercian Prince in the Sefton.

              It looks a competitive race Ista - he wouldn't be top of my list of trying to back the winner.

              Just been reading Twitter and most courses are having inspections in the morning. Hopefully the weather doesn't cause havoc.

                        • Looking forward to seeing Acapella Bourgeois over 2m 4f today - this could be his distance. Too short to back though

                          More value from the following:
                          North Hill Harvey 1.45 Sandown (jumped really well at Cheltenham and that could make the difference here)
                          William H Bonney 2.20 Sandown (going well fto at Cheltenham until tiring, now dropped two pounds)
                          Invitation Only 2.30 Naas
                          Alpha Des Obeaux 2.35 Aintree (has been running much better this season and should outclass these - 10/3 is an unbelievable price)

                          • Added William H Bonney at Sandown.

                            A couple of very nice ante post slips there Kev
