225 Newbury-Houblon Des Obeaux heads my ratings and its 2 runs this season,are rock solid form.
First time out it finished 2nd in the Hennesey behind Many Clouds(Giving it weight),that horse has come out and won a Gold Cup trial since then it finished just behind The Young Master,which has been the big top handicap improver all season.
A reproduction of either run would make it tough to beat.
Its 5w-3p-14r on galloping tracks like this.
Harry Topper won this last year but has pulled up in 2 runs since,so has questions to answer.
Coneygree is improving and could get an easy lead,I would make it the main danger.
Unioniste represents Paul Nicholls,who has won this race 5 times in the last 9 years.I respect all that but its got nearly a stone to find on my figures.
Back Houblon Des Obeaux 12pts at 4.0 at Various Bookies-2nd(-12pts)Pretty sure its ran its race but Coneygree has just improved past it ,unfortunately

915 Wolves-This is a 2 horse race and therefore,the bigger price gets the call.
That horse is Moulin Rouge,whos been in fine form since joining this yard.
Its proven here and the drop back in trip to the distance it won at 2 starts back,is ideal.
The danger is Mr Soprano,who showed its best form yet,over shorter and at Chelmsford last time.
It should be suited by the extra distance and its sire has a fair record here.
Back Moulin Rouge 12pts at 4.5 at Various Bookies-Won(+37.8*1 non runner*)Got a break at last.Travelled well and won easy(DT+25.8pts)
Monthly Total-29.20pts
Running Total+7294.59pts
