Hyland
The Jukebox Man has some effective type over 3m however hasn’t received over that distance but – although he did come shut at Cheltenham Competition behind Stellar Story within the Albert Bartlett.
He made a promising swap to fences profitable on chase debut forward of Masaccio, over 2m4f at Newbury within the Grade 2 John Francome Novices’ Chase.
However for me it is Hyland who must be backed once more at 3/1, he appeals simply that little bit extra, although The Jukebox Man is ready to be nice and is unexposed over fences.
Nonetheless, Hyland has now received three of his 4 races over fences and appears set to go well with this problem at Kempton after his Cheltenham victory over Resplendent Gray and Springwell Bay.
Structure Hill
It has been a 12 months since we have seen Structure Hill on the monitor after he received this race at 1/12 final 12 months.
It could have been a shock should you’d have stated he is 11/8 coming into this however Lossiemouth has impressed quite a bit – profitable every of her final six races.
That stated, the mare will most likely want to seek out extra to win this as I can’t see Structure Hill ever dropping – if he is absolutely match and even when he must be cajoled alongside, he ought to nonetheless win properly.
The scepticism for this horse principally comes from the shortage of runs not too long ago as he is been withdrawn a couple of occasions for a couple of races early on together with Cheltenham Competition and the Preventing Fifth simply final month.
However he is an awesome race horse and by no means misplaced beneath guidelines – so you possibly can take this 11/8 or above evens value with plenty of gratitude that we will see a correct hurdle battle.
Bravemansgame & The Actual Whacker
I would not often put up two ideas for a race like this however it’s the King George in a renewal that sees 11 runners all with very blended type, potential, expertise and talent.
I’d be going all in on Gray Dawning as a straight wager however my issues for him would solely be based mostly on the bottom.
He is been withdrawn resulting from good floor earlier than and can be a fear backing him apart from on the day, in case he will get the non-runner remedy once more, regardless of wanting like he is a great type for a King George.
Then we’re left with a couple of kids, French and Irish raiders amongst some large priced British horses.
Which is why it’s kind of shocking the likes of Bravemansgame, who received this race in 2022 and The Actual Whacker, who beat Bravemansgame final outing and positioned a promising fourth on this final 12 months.
The Paul Nicholls-trained horse was second to Hewick final 12 months when actually pipped to the road within the closing few yards and hasn’t fairly been seen to the identical impact since.
However he was shut up at Wetherby and cannot be dominated out from one other huge run at a course he does effectively at.
Kinondo Kwetu
You may by no means rule this horse out from placing in a high efficiency not lengthy after his final race.
He is had a busy 12 months and will cap off and even finish this season with a giant run at Wetherby on this Premier Handicap.
The eight-year-old has eight wins from 20 chase begins which is exceptional and he thrives over this distance.
His final three runs have been disappointing however he is been nudged down the weights making him enchantment extra.
He was second at Perth in September off 2lb increased regardless of carrying top-weight in a small subject and this race appears up for grabs for the space specialist, whilst a giant each-way punt.
Westerninthepark
Coach Olly Murphy is eyeing up some huge prizes over the festive interval and has this enormous favorite at Aintree.
The six-year-old gelding received in type on chase debut in October earlier than going effectively behind Peaky Boy at Cheltenham to actually frank his personal type.
He was upped simply 3lb for that and could possibly be very well-weighted because of this, unexposed over fences and appears set to progress beneath Sean Bowen.
Celtic Dino
On paper Potters Appeal appears a straightforward wager however it may be simple to get carried away with current wins, particularly after they’re by 11 lengths forward of the likes of Valgrand.
However he is since not gone effectively and the identical may be stated for third positioned Gale Mahler.
It begs the query was it only a nice run or did he beat some horses dipping in type?
For that cause and the very fact it is a drop to 2m1f, I might be tempted to go for Celtic Dino who appears unexposed and has extra type over this journey.
He ran effectively forward of Wade Out, comfortably so, and that horse has franked that type since.
Celtic Dino has received 4 of his 5 races beneath guidelines together with his first two outings over hurdles, actually convincingly and will proceed his steep rise at Aintree for coach Sam Thomas at a stunning value.
