Twist Magic is giving lumps of weight away today, and with horses like Somersby in proximity, i cant see him winning.

He is giving a lot of weight to the others, It's what will destroy his chances if the ground's heavy. Still think he's worth a little ew. Imsingingtheblues is nicely weighted, I'm hoping for a big run.

I agree with Imsingingtheblues, i didnt back him at Aintree, but he was my 'would be' bet if i were to have a bet in the race, as i thought he was quite well in at the weights and i have always thought he is a horse with decent ability.

LH - 5131O1P3
RH - 11111U3

Looks good on paper - his unseating was when held behind Deep Purple at Huntingdon whilst the third was when attempting to concede 2 stone all round at Fontwell on his latest start.

First Time Out - 511

Won on his season return for the past two seasons - the fifth placed finishing was also his rules debut in a bumper at Chepstow (record at the track 511).

He's yet to race at Exeter but the track should suit him and the long straight will help him.

Record on Soft - 11O11 (ran out at the last at Cheltenham when going ok).

He's yet to race over a trip this short which for me would be the only doubt but he beat the Champion Chase runner-up Forpadydeplasterer over 2 1/2m on his return last season so I'd expect a bold show for his new stable (another positive IMO) with the only other possible negative bar the trip is the presence of other front runners in the race (providing new connections employ the usual tactics).

At 33/1 he's well worth a bet each-way for one of his profile and with just the five of the nine horses in the handicap.

Martin

He's got an excellent win percentage too, 53% - anything over 50% is worth noting.

Madison Du Berlais @ 3/1 and Somersby @ 5/2

What you reckon about Dunguib for Champion Hurdle OoOGazOoO?

Bit hard to when it hates Cheltenham

Was different class in the Creek and at Ascot though.

Zenyatta now best price 3/1 for the Classic on Saturday.

Not betting on it but Greylami 7/2 Kempton 3.25 has a massive weight turn around on Ottoman Empire from last time they met, Greylami gave it 3lbs that day and gets 5lbs today.

Madison Du Berlais was a good bet @ 3/1 but people smashed into after jumping a few to sent it into evens inrunning crazy.

Talked myself into backing this Greylami @ 4.9

Looking forward to seeing Dare Me in the next at Exeter, very exciting novice hurdler who won really well by 12L when running at Exeter two weeks ago. Slight step up in class but worthy odds on fav for it.

Almost got up too but as expected I thought there might be one or two bit better weighted.

The Arkle winners big and grey anyway - everyone knows that
