On the trainer front Paul Nicholls has won a staggering 10 of the last 22 renewals, including 3 of the last 4, and he lines up a dual assault tomorrow in the shape of HIGHLAND HUNTER & TRUCKERS LODGE.
Personally I'm not sure either have an outstanding chance of landing an 11th Badger Beers trophy for the yard... but it is Nicholls, he loves winning this race and I'm sure his pair will be primed for the task at hand.

As is often the case I'm not always looking for a perfect fit on the trends just a horse (or two) that is the best fit from the entries.
Two horses actually pass all of the trends highlighted above, both available at tasty enough prices for me to have a dabble.
