quevega only one thats got a cakewalk imho.
oscar whisky should improve for the step up and think him and big bucks could up the hill neck and neck, only for big bucks to have enough in reserve to prevail by a half length or so.
binocular loves cheltenham and if he is a1 he should make hurricane fly work for the win. zarkandar showed a likeable attitude on friday for his first run back and is another that will relish a battle up the hill.
sprinter sacre could well do something very special. peddlers cross will be plugging away up the hill but may not have the finishing pace, which would leave al ferof to fly up the hill and give ss the most to do. sprinter sacre will need to settle better than in last years supreme novices as he was very keen (like every other time over hurdles) and seemed to empty at the after the second last. al ferof seems to have very gritty attitude and we know he gets up the hill.
thats how i rank them in terms of win-confidence
ive got hurricane, quevega and big bucks in a couple of multipes myself so definitely hoping they can do it.
done mikael dhaguenet for today, took the 1/2 last night. unless theres any monkey business going on he should travel too strongly on the bridle for mourad, who often looks like a snail over 3m let alone 2m5.
wouldnt take him for cheltenham at 1000 if he is getting beat 6.5 lengths by mourad receiving 2lb.
