Third Intention 25/1 Topham
6lbs lower than when running 3rd in this off top weight last year and there aren't many better men to have on board over these fences and indeed in this race than Tom 'o Brien.

With you there Fonz.
I also like the Moore horse Crystal Lad in the first.
I had him in NH Cup final day at Sandown and when he jumped second last in front was counting my money until he faded.
No shrewder shrewdie in big hurdle handicaps than the same Mr Moore.
In the Topham, I reckon the following are too long at the prices and could run very well:
Vintage Vinnie 20/1, Irish Cavalier 33/1, Alelchi Inois 28/1, Quite By Chance 40/1 and Solar Impulse 100/1

1.45 Ron's Dream 40/1 - 6 paces with Skybet
Pluralism of Ideas and the prosperity of any land are intertwined. Freedom of minds and skill of intellect to 'think the unthinkable' is how humanity has progressed; when minds are incarcerated nothing endures.
Saint Are in the National, jockey booking a huge bonus.

I think Oscar's Den is worth an each-way dash in this at 25/1.
He won a Bumper and a couple of Novice Hurdles for Tim Vaughan three season's back, before managing to split two good horses in Garde La Victoire and Vieux Lion Rouge, in a decent Novice at Cheltenham's April meeting. He then had a long time off the track with injury, before moving to Ted Walsh's yard in March this year. He had his comeback run in a minor handicap hurdle at Limerick last month; making smooth headway in the last half-mile, before fitness perhaps took its toll, and he was ultimately a well-beaten 4th of 13 to Donegal Tuesday.
This was a promising-looking horse at one stage, and he gets in here off 116. If Ted has worked his magic, he could be extremely well-handicapped, and 25/1 is a price I personally can't ignore, in what is a wide-open and not particularly great race.

Tell us More is Lame DO
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Kitegen 4.15 Chepstow, CD winner but an 11yo these days having his first run back over hurdles for four or five years and on a low mark now so is bottom weight.. Usually runs better fresh and hasn't run since January. I see Jamie Bargary who claims 3lb has been given the ride too. Currently still sixteen runners in the race and Oddschecker has him at 66/1 although worryingly that's a drift on virtually all books.Might be worth a small interest if you have some loose change in the pocket.

20/1 trainer said he needed quicker ground at Christmas.
