  Going described as G/soft today race off at 2.40

Only one horse in last 10 years has carried top weight to victory
4 favs have won the race (two trained by Nichols  who again puts up the favvy today)
No 6 yr old has won it (there were no 6 yr old's in last years race)

there is an increasing trend for the older horses who have a good track record  and have had their last run over hurdles lets see what is on offer today 

 only two today who went over hdles last time 

 Ballyallia man age 8 (10-09) Remote fourth in this last year, runner-up over C&D in the mud next time but kept to shorter since, including for career-best form here over 2m5f; weak in the betting and well below form on hurdling reappearance, but presumably needed that and very interesting that he´s having another crack at this. is pretty well in today and only the first crack this distance is a worry  though flemensfirth breeding says he will - was prepped for this race over hdles last year  and Tom George yard is swinging into action! has the top blues in the form book  top in class code races 

 Masters Hill (age 7 (11-05) Won maiden point; four runs under rules, winning novice chase at Chepstow last October and novice hurdle at Exeter year later; something looked amiss sole start in between (last November); impressed in both his wins and looks bright prospect, but race ofthis nature something very new to him. - last run at exter over hdles impressive as hell - Sure to come on for his first run in 339 days, especially as he was carrying plenty of condition, he ought to go well again if racing under a penalty. I make him so well in on his first chase from a yard going so well at least 2lbs better in than his win at Chepstow last year  Tizzard yard really firing at the moment. 

 will be backing both of these today - with a definite in running angle on both - good luck all
