Across The Bay - Runner-up to Powers Gold Cup winner Jadanli last time out and seemed to improve for the step up to 3m, another 5f today will suit also and he looked a big price at 33's this morning (18/1 now)
Selection Box - Consistent staying Chaser who put in two improved efforts last month, when third in the big 3m 4f Chase at Downpatrick (stayed on well) and second in a conditions race to today's rival One Cool Cookie (conditions chase). Was PU in this last year which is a negative but goes well on soft and heavy ground and the trainer knows what it takes to win a big handicap (won the Galway Plate with Ballyholland last Summer). Best priced 66/1 with Sportingbet.
Bluesea Cracker - Improved effort up in trip to finish second to Ballytrim at Naas last time out and goes well on the soft/heavy ground. Good jockey booked for a shrewd trainer. Best price 25/1 with Ladbrokes.
Wouldn't rule Moskova out at a shorter price either.
Start Royal is my NAP of the day at Fakenham in the 2m 5f Hunter Chase - saw him go in at Cottenham the other week and he was a useful hurdler prior to being switched to The Witton Non-Trying Institute.
