It is unoriginal but I cannot see past Planet Of Sound now. He ran well in The Arkle and was a leading Ryanair contender a few seasons ago so I cannot see the sharp track inconveniencing him. I think he has plenty of speed. POS is still on the same mark that saw him run second in The Hennessy.
I like Consigliere but think he finishes too weakly. This race turns quite grisly at the end most years, so it is not one for a dog like him. Nacarat should run well into the places again but isn't well treated enough to win. Michel Le Bon is also interesting but I couldn't back a Paul Nicholls runner with confidence yet.
In any handicap where it appears that there is dearth of quality it usually pays to look at the top end of the handicap. Having liked Planet of Sound on the same principle in the Hennessy, and Deep Purple for his handicap debut at Sandown, Nacarat strikes me as the most likely winner. Plenty of class and a tremendous record in the race, whereas the other two are more likely to be using it as prep race for the National.
I can't see Consigliere winning to be honest, not good enough IMO. Needs really soft ground in my view and that definitely won't be the case tomorrow. POS, Nacarat and MLB to fight it out, with POS just coming out on top.
