And so, while Sam Winner in the handicap at Sandown is of interest and there might be a couple of short priced, safety first options available, I might try to put this project to bed once and for all with a 6/1 shot and none of that each way messing about either.
Of course, the first clash of the Henderson- trained Sprinter Sacre and Nicholls' Sanctuaire is a race to relish but not, I think, to bet on. These two are likely to get to know each other fairly well over the next couple of years, one might think. But the Becher Chase at Aintree is one of those minor classics that provides real jump racing. A horse I have liked for a little while now is Join Together and I hope that this might be the race in which he makes a name for himself. But I don't just hope, I think that 6/1, or more if you can get it, is a fair enough reflection, and worth doing.
