Sunday's racing was rubbish to say the least, and even though the selection was short-priced one, he did drift to 10/11 so wasn't terribly short.

I thought he'd win much easier than he did, especially when turning for home. He won by a small margin, beating a 40/1 shot into second place, so it wasn't an impressive win. However, I do think he will make a better chaser and apparently we'll see him in England at some point when they do go chasing, so that will be interesting.

This race looks open on paper and in terms of the odds, but I don't think that is the case at all. I think you can make a case for a couple, but CHRIS COOL has the best claims, and by a fair margin, in my eyes.

Chris Cool is the most unexposed horse in the race, but that's not the only reason why I think he is the one to beat. I thought his run last time out was a step forward from his chase debut, and the way he transitioned through the race, I think today's drop back in trip could work the trick. He was positively ridden that day, and though he did see the 3m trip out, I think the shorter trip will be an advantageous move considering he has had the speed to win over 2m in the past when running over hurdles. He bumped into one last time out at Wetherby, and the handicapper decided to drop him 4lbs for that run where he finished as the runner-up, which seems extremely generous, and off a mark of 100, he looks dangerous.

I'm a big fan of this stable, and their form continues to be great. Toby Wynne is a brilliant conditional jockey and still claims 3lbs in these types of races, which is obviously another bonus for the horse's chances.

I am very sweet on the chances of YOUR OWN STORY now he is upped to a marathon trip, which looks sure to suit.

I don't know if many of you have watched this horse over the last season, but he looks to be crying out for this step up in trip. He is slow as a boat, and every time he has run over 3m he has made up good late ground but simply doesn't have enough grass to bridge the gap. He has raced over a similar trip at Haydock, but that was on testing ground, which I don't think he is totally in love with, so today's better ground should help him.

I thought his run behind one of the favourites for the Kim Muir at Cheltenham and was once again making great late headway up the Sandown hill, and with an extra furlong or so would've gotten much closer, even though the winner was extremely well-handicapped.

You have horses coming into this race in good form, but one is an 11yo, the other is a 12yo, and I don't think Geryville is particularly well-treated off a mark of 122, and Silver In Disguise was well-supported last time out but couldn't land a blow, I think 11/4 for Your Own Story is a good price, and if his jumping holds up, he should be bang there.
