Not seeing a thread for this & I expect some posters are starting their portfolio for April.
 
…..Hills offer 33-1 todays Becher Chase winner goes on to win GN.
 
Becher was a good run from Ashtown Lad and looks like that win should secure him the 143 rating he will need to get in the national, looked very comfortable going round but I would had doubts about him seeing the national trip as he was certainly slowing.

I really liked Percussions run back in 3rd thought he got over the fences well and seemed to loose ground before making it up, issue is he needs to find 13lb over the season to meet the minimum OR, but could be one to keep in mind for something like the Scottish National perhaps over 4m.

Corach Rambler going to run off an absolute feather weight. Can see why he's blue right across today
 
Farclas given a rating of 151 (10st 10Ib) which is five pounds more than two years ago. He’s nine now which I think is the perfect age.

1pt @ 80-1
2pts @ 66-1

I think he’s been laid out for this.
 
….Hills offer 25-1 Skelton to train the winner for anybody wanting Le Milos & Ashtown Boy onboard.

Has it been cut to 16s already Eggs or is it priced up as a special somewhere else?

I liked the look of that :chuncky:
 
….Mr Incredible 18-1 in Hills specials.

Would've given him a decent chance this year.

Seems to be the obvious ones this year doesn't it. Capodanno the one I looked at a bit further down the betting but he's a lb higher than Delta Work and it's hard to actually rate his chances ahead of DW isn't it.

I realise that doesn't completely make sense but had to go. :welcoming:

I wonder what else will run in the Bowl

Clan Des Obeaux surely runs. Protektorat another likely runner (I'd assume) and Ahoy Senor if he's OK.

Ahoy Senor was in the process of running a screamer in the GC and I'd imagine he'll be put in as fav given his Aintree form.

…not sure if Kemboy might run again, archie might know.
