Thenamesbond can run them along. The pace and pressure looks good in this Open Steeplechase. The ten-time course winner and on speed jumper THENAMESBOND has a massive 71kg but he just keeps on keeping on. The 10yo has a never say die attitude and coming off the canvas is his specialty. PERRY MASON by getting 6kg from the top pick is a threat and at least the quinella. The place and first four seems likely for TOP CHOICE that has paid a dividend five times before on the track. Stagehand is best clockwise and has won twice here before. That's How Goes has a winning rider back on today. Also a dual course winner. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Thenamesbond.
