GYTO Sunday Notebook Double

This is a decent renewal and it is often won by a useful type with Mighty Potter taking it last year for Gordon Elliott. In fact he has won 2 of the last 3 renewals with Envoi Allen successful back in 2020 so I expect Found A Fifty to be well backed. I am taking him on though as I really like LETSBECLEARABOUTIT for Gavin Cromwell. This horse has won both starts over fences and he was particularly impressive at Cork last time where he jumped slickly before going clear to bolt up by 10 lengths. He has more to offer and looks quite an exciting prospect going forward. Found A Fifty also impressed at Down Royal last month and will try and make a race of it.

It was gamble landed for HOSTILE HOTELIER at Hexham last month and up 5lb he looks well placed to follow up. He won by a couple of lengths last time despite lacking fluency so if his jumping improves he is definitely the one to beat. He goes back up in trip which should suit and I can see him being popular again. Barney Stinson was back to form down the weights when last seen but the layoff would have to be a bit of a concern. If he is fit and ready to fire then perhaps he could make a race of it. Dance Thief is still unexposed and is another one that could get involved but he does need more on what we’ve seen from him last season.
