PreviewsSimply The Betts is probably a worthy favourite for this after proving successful in three of his last four starts, including when accounting for a nice yardstick in the shape of Imperial Aura over C&D earlier in the year. A 9lb rise for that recent win looks fair and a likely prominent ride under Gavin Sheehan should see him involved at the finish. The odds compilers are taking no chances with his price, though, and the suspicion is that better value lies elsewhere. Deyrann de Carjac has been a bit of a 'talking horse' at the Cheltenham preview nights and it is easy to see why looking at his recent form, which includes a six-and-a-quarter-length third behind Champ and two-length third in the Dipper behind Midnight Shadow. Robin Des Foret always travels stylishly and it is worth noting that he has had a wind operation but, at a price, preference is for SPRINGTOWN LAKE. A prominent ride often suits in this event, which he should get here, and this eight-year-old has a bit of past Festival form, having finished fifth in the Novices' Handicap in 2019. The eight-year-old was an easy 20-length winner at Warwick last month and should be in great shape for this assignment.
