As the Runners and Riders approach the starting stalls at Horse Hill let's take a quick look at the field:
UKOG: Not placed at Broadford Bridge, Markwells Wood and The Isle Of Wight this once favourite is carrying a lot of weight and it's price would suggest there is little value left with this one.
Alba: Interesting entries in Greenland and Wales would suggest connections have high hopes for this one.Initially dismissed by the market but recent interest and with generous odds of 20/1 this looks the value Horse in this race.
Solo: There appears to be little support for this one and recent outings in Tanzania look to have taken the Gas out of this one.
Doriemus: Interestingly named after 1995 The Melbourne Cup winner. This one showed good promise but a recent move to Australia has put doubts over it's ability to finish.
Gunsynd: Should only play a small part here, whispers that it could do well but unlikely to go the distance.
Primorius: Another one unlikely to go the distance.
Horse Hill is all set for what promises to be the most exciting Race in it's history (There was a Race Course where Gatwick Airport is today)
The odds on favourite UKOG should do well but Alba looks to be a class above the rest and offers punters a sizeable return if the Race goes to plan. The other runners are in with a shout, however there is little or no support in the market suggesting this could be too much of a step up in class.
Top Tip: Alba
GLA and enjoy the race
