Interesting race yesterday. UDG was given a superb ride and had Cantlow covered pretty easily so a case could certainly be made for him at the festival. I thought he may have been underestimated a bit but I can see his odds at 10's. I thought id would have been higher actually so doesn't tempt me.
Cantlow did have excuses though - The loose horse nearly carried him out taking a fair few lengths and momentum out of him. The ground in March should suit Cantlow better as well in terms of the run in. Obviously the race is run on a different track (conventional races were on soft, this was run on good to soft (good in places)) but the run in to the finish line would have been pretty testing and not ground that would have been ideal for Cantlow.
Another pleasing thing regarding Cantlow for me is he's really becoming a consistent horse now in these races - unlike his early years! He's now a far more reliable horse to have on your side.
Still happy to focus on Edna Bolger's string in this race from what we've seen (I'd probably side with Auvergnat as well at the prices if I was to take another horse out of the race) Just the one more race (PP Hogan) to go for clues now

First Leuitenant entered ?
At 170 he's probably the highest (once) rated horse ever to appear in a banks race, very interesting to see how he goes as encouraging signs he could become a runner for Chelt....

Pleased to see Ballyboker Bridge in. 33s avail and 25s NRNB.
First Leuitenant can't get his head in front no matter what can he... perenial bridesmaid. Not in the betting for Chelt and wouldn't have seen the course... I'd be dead against him... but what do I know
Auvergnat looks like he'll get priced up as fav, probably win and gert slashed.... was just about to suggest for people to take the 25s, bit he is a wash on blue, general 14/1 shot.
