Just before Lunchtime today the Final 40 Runners will be declared plus 4 Reserve Horses. It's virtually anybody's race really as some of the leading contenders can be brought down by stray Horses etc.
I would try and avoid Horses carrying over 11.00 Stone in weight as they don't often win. Try running a 41/2 Mile race over Jumps carrying that sort of weight and you need fantastic Stamina.The Horse you pick needs to be a top class Jumper and preferably having raced previously over distances in excess of 3+ miles.
Although I have chosen 3 Horses- Comply or Die, Kilbeggan Blade and Rambling Minster, you could go down the other route of sticking a Pin in the Race-Card and Choosing a Horse that way! Who Knows?
