TODAY sees the last big prize of the jumps season, the Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown and, as ever, this gruelling 3m 5f handicap chase is a puzzler for punters.
Iris De Balme pulled off a major shock when scooting home at 66/1 in last week's Scottish Grand National at Ayr, and with just 10 stone to carry again this afternoon, the 8-year-old has every chance of following up. However, despite having so many things in his favour, it's still a tall order to win two staying handicap chases in the space of seven days and I am going to pass over him in favour of Bewley's Berry in the hope that the 21 days since his Aintree exertions will see Howard Johnson's 10-year-old back to his best to claim a handsome consolation prize for just missing out on the places in the big one.'
