1st Sainte Ladylime 8/1 - 60 2nd Book Of Gold 9/2 - 45  2nd Salmanazar 22/1 - 45 Shocking race really, but a clear stats winner. Sainte Ladylime came second to the classy La Bague Au Roi in a Grade 2, and the 4th in that race has since won a Grade 2. So its some good form. If she can run to that form, she will have massive claim here. Salmanazar badly needed his run last time out and might just need this as well. Based on old form he has ew claims. Book Of Gold has Cheekpieces on today and also ran a good race last time out, think he has a better chance than Salmanazar here. Booking of Bryony Frost suggest Connetable is Paul Nicholls choice here, and you would expect him to go well My Selection: Sainte Ladylime 8/1

1st Smooth Stepper 18/1 - 65 2nd Milansbar 12/1 - 55 3rd Back To The Thatch 7/1 - 50 3rd West Of The Edge 8/1 - 50 3rd Thebarrowman 20/1 - 50 This is going to be a true test of stamina. A true slog. But i hope the system has the winner in the 5 named above. Smooth Stepper did well in what was a close race stats wise. He isnt the first chioce of the stable Jockey Danny Cook, which is a little worry. But he won here last time out on soft ground, beating Silver Tassie and Baywing quite convincingly, but both are weighted to go better than him here. He was 6th here last year and is 4lb higher this time around. His form at Newcastle is 3, 1, 2, 1, 6, 1.  So he does go particulary well here. Milansbar had blinkers fitted last time out and that helped his revival as he won nicely, the 3rd that day has since gone on to come a closer 2nd in the Edinburgh National. If he can continue his new lease of life then he goes with a chance. Back To The Thatch's connections have been f
