Mister Manduro out and JC and LTV don't qualify for the thread. Swamp Fox shortening and I haven't got on yet so it looks like Snow Falcon is the only real qualifier from that post. I might stick one or two rank outsiders up in the morning before I head off.
Meantime, I've backed one tomorrow: Nwm 4.10 Bear Valley 50/1, ew
I can’t not back Bear Valley after backing it recently. The chances are it’s just lost the plot but it was a fair third at the Shergar Cup meeting and earlier showed better form when also third in the KGV to Atty Persse and First Nation. He’s now 6lbs better off for a head with the latter. I don’t know anything about the jockey. On the face of it, an inexperienced claimer is a negative booking but she’s 16/83 for her two main employers and is actually 2/2 for Johnston and will make this weight. I expect he'll blow out again but if I were certain in advance he would run his race I'd make him favourite.
