I wouldn't touch Kasbah Bliss at such a poor price. I'd rather be e/w on Blazing Bailey or Fair Along or something.

It was around 4s until it stormed home with ease at Aintree.

Even though i am loyal to the yard, Blazing Bailey has not run that well this season so far.

If you're looking for value, then Punchestowns at 4/1 would be the value in the race.

Its pretty much a bet to nothing that isnt it with a fair chance of a win too.

Im confident he will turn around the form with Big Bucks from their last encounter. Big Bucks was recieving 8lbs that day and that was the main difference. Off level weights this time i think the form will be reversed.

Nicky Henderson also left work in Punchestowns following that race, to bring him on more for Cheltenham.

There is no doubting that Kasbah Bliss is a very classy horse, but Pieux won't wont to get to the front too soon this time which he did last year.

When Punchestowns won the Cotswold Hurdle in November, at Cheltenham, he wasn't stopping at the finish either, and definately makes it up the hill at Cheltenham.

You have to respect Kasbah Bliss, especially with the way he won at Haydock, but i think Punchestowns will come on a great deal from his last run.

Looking forward to it, off work as well.

Couple of dead certs in my opinion.

Masterminded, Kasbah Bliss and Kauto Star.

Fancy Denman, Brave Inca and Big Bucks in an E/W Treble as well.

Avoiding Binocular like the plague, don't think it can handle the hill.
