Tip 1: WELCOM TO CARTRIES - 1 POINT WIN

Best odds of 3/1 at BetVictor while publishing.

WELCOM TO CARTRIES displayed a willing attitude to succeed at Sandown five weeks ago and that could be the springboard for further success.

The eight-year-old has been highly tried on a few occasions and he was deemed good enough to contest a Grade 1 over C&D on just his second start in this sphere, where he finished fourth to The Jukebox Man.

He’s only been nudged up 4lb for that latest win and the runner-up has run well since. In a race where plenty are exposed, I make him a confident choice.

Tip 2: BEAT THE BAT (5 places) - 0.5 POINTS EACH-WAY

Best odds of 10/1 at bet365 while publishing.

Being no stranger to running big races in these types of events, it’s about time BEAT THE BAT (NAP) landed a big one. Harry Fry’s consistent servant shaped with promise when third on chase debut after seven months off five weeks ago and is back over hurdles off a nice figure.

He is only a pound higher than when a solid fourth in last season’s County Hurdle. That is really strong form and I do think this is a bit easier. In a race that will again be up his street, there’s every chance he will be heavily competitive.
