Samcro is the banker of the week in the Ballymore, I don't think I need to say anymore. Gordon Elliott had a tough day on Tuesday, but he can start day two with a bang. This beast is a superstar.

Elegant Escape then takes up the Yankee baton at a much bigger price in the RSA Chase. He was impressive at Exeter last time and it's interesting he came here instead of the four-miler.

Altior had a scare on Monday but he's reportedly absoltely fine to race. That makes him the horse to beat in the Champion Chase and I think he'll have far too much class for the Rich Ricci pair.

And then finally The King Of May can frank the We Have A Dream form in the Fred Winter. He looked good at Musselburgh and can take advantage of a lowly mark in this for a stable that know the time of day with their juvenile hurdlers.
