Two horse race, wonder which horse Bling will pick.

Doesn't matter because neither will win :whistle:

Surely Trip To Heaven deserves a G1.
Either him or Brutal Force at least, but the latter has been unsound his last few and not really likely from that draw on this course.

No Supplementary entries today

Trip To Heaven is the class but can he give his usual 3 lengths around the turn and still make it up?

I think he doesn't like being in amongst other runners and I reckon he does it deliberately. I have Seen him happily lead from the front , in the clear ,over more, but every time he seem to race handily, But surrounded he doesn't seem to produce.

I think for TTH the issue wil not be him losing lengths, it will be about getting a run in time.
SImilar for TTTS Brutal Force and Seach party If they drop out from those draws.
Very tough to predict the winner but with the advantage of form and draw Bull Valley will get some support and Sergeant Hardy is a huge runner. The usual suspects mentioned above could all win it and my horse to watch would be Kangaroo Jack.
Final bet will be only after trainers comments and watching them go down to be honest.

Is Fortune injured ?

kangaroo Jack nicely prepped to win this
