13:30 Down Royal – Nikini

Willie has four runners in here and Paul Townend has opted to ride Nikini. I’d have done the same if I was riding. I don’t think she has too much to find on The Model Kingdom. Nikini will make The Model Kingdom go and I fancy the former as a better jumper.

13:50 Exeter – Bettys Banjo

I like Bettys Banjo for Jonjo O’Neill. She could improve considerably after winning then finishing second at Uttoxeter earlier this year. She’s a great price too.

14:05 Down Royal – Pied Piper

It’s down to fitness between Pied Piper and Fil Dor. Pied Piper won at Cheltenham last month so he’s the obvious choice ahead of his stablemate. He can also handle the ground too.

15:35 Exeter – War Lord

I’m siding with War Lord for Brendan Powell and Joe Tizzard. The yard is in great form and 2m1f will really suit him. He was banging on the door last season and the 149 mark is workable.
