But they all had under 12 chases
Horses with 12 or more chase runs
Will probably need 2 + recent runs
ACHILLE has this to overcome

ENQARDE is a 7yo
Not ideal but he ist he right type
Lightly raced at least in Britain
He has a low weight too
Stamina could be his problem

Horses sired by Kapgarde
Running in Listed and Graded races
Racing over 3m 1f and more
Have a 0-20 record so far

Horses sired by Kapgarde
Running in Class 3 or higher
Have not won past 3m 2f yet (0-16)

The only 2 horse
That escapes statistical criticism

THE TWO AMIGOS 7/1
LORD DU MESNIL 7/1

Horses aged under 9
Rated 147 or higher are 0-13
LORD DU MESNIL fails this
But he has a 3lbs claimer on
So technically he is excused

THE TWO AMIGOS looks fine
He has to get over Chepstow
When 3rd in the Welsh National
But 6 weeks may be enough time

There is statistical evidence

2012 Giles Cross
2011 Silver By Nature
2008 Miko De Beauchene

All finished 1-2-3-4-5-6-7
In the Welsh National last time
And came out and won this race

The runner up in 2018 + 2019
Both had the same profile too
Coming from the Welsh National

THE TWO AMIGOS is a positive
But he has been drifting for this
And not keen on smaller types

LORD DU MESNIL is prefered
He comes from the Welsh National
And has had a lighter campaign
I opposed him at Chepstow
He failed a 0-015 statistic that day

Both these horses
Were 2nd and 4th in last years race
LORD DU MESNIL was only a 7yo then
Feel both have to be staked here

Selection

£5 Win Bet THE TWO AMIGOS 8/1

£5 Win Bet LORD DU MESNIL  8/1
