Here is my updated shortlist of horses I will back in various combinations to chase the dream. I'm not forming a book so if I get it wrong, I won't be chasing more horses to add. Anything in brackets I'm still monitoring pending further information.
Supreme: Annamix, Mister Fisher, (Tokay Dokey).
Ballymore: Brewin’upastorm, Commander Of Fleet, (Tornado Flyer).
Albert Bartlett: (Time To Move On, Gallahers Cross, Good Boy Bobby, Seddon).
I’m holding fire on these as I’m not sure all will head here and Time To Move On may be looked after this season and kept to softer ground.
Triumph: Coeur Sublime, Adjali, (Lethal Steps).
Arkle: (Paloma Blue, Draconien)
It could turn out to be an open Arkle this year as there does not seem to be a superstar in the ranks. It would be nice to see a larger field in the Arkle as its one of my least favourite races of the festival due to small fields and the winner usually being head and shoulders above everything else.
JLT: Lostintranslation (Mr Whipped)
RSA: I can’t see past Santini or Next Destination for this, but neither are the price I want.
There is potentially quite a bit of depth in this race so the short prices are even less attractive.
4 miler: Blow By Blow, Chris’s Dream, (It’s All Guesswork).
Bumper: Envoi Allen, The Big Getaway.
Watch list: Downtown Getaway, Alighted, Vision D'Honneur, My Way, Sizing Pottsie.
Latest update I have added Lostintranslation after seeing him entered up and going back through his form last year that I had underestimated I think. I have added Draconien to the watch list as if it wasn't for Willie's comments, I may not have considered him. That's not my usual style but I can't be too naive and completely dismiss them.
