Double of Grand Crus and Zaidpour @ 5/6
Interesting one in the first at Uttoxeter.
Val Mondo is 14/1 but probs best bet in the W/O market 11/2 and place @ 11/4 because the money is down for fav.
Bought for £70,000 from Germany recently its run to 106 on the flat and won over 14f in a Group 3 and been 2nd in a Listed race over 15f so there is hope it gets the trip, one of its best runs this season was in a Group 3 coming 4th which was won by Night Magic a 114 flat horse who chased home the Arc winner last time, the 3rd has since beaten Famous Name, so its good flat form.
Now its great its got good staying flat form but its nothing unless it can jump but it is a half sister to a Grade 1 winning hurdler in Valgano and Viper has won over hurdles twice and did run in a Grade 2 race with Long Run, so there is jumping pedigree in the family.
