GOLD EYE winner last time out in the Eric Kelly Chase at Fontwell carrys top weight today and is now worse off with Grand Theft Auto who beat him at Sligo over this distance. ZOO YOU Tough ask of this weight ran well last time out when second at Limerick but again a line through Grand Theft Auto suggest he might struggle to beat him again giving that rival more weight than when they both meet at Cork on first ran of the season. ATTITUDE ASK Nice staying chaser and lots of ability had Grand Theft Auto Behind him in the Paddypower Maiden at Kempton Park on level terms and coming from these Quaters must be respected but weigth might be against him here. ADVANCEALOT Behind Grand Theft Auto and Gold Eye at sligo but much better off today and could reverse form with both on revised terms ran well last time out over further and usually front runs. REFRACTION Pulled Up Behind Grand Theft Auto after sustaining injury at sligo but in front of that rival at kempton park on level terms so if none the worse a big player here. BRAVE HIGHLANDER Pulled up first run showed some ability on second outing at cheltenham steps up in trip to day and not sure to stay one to watch for future handicaps. DARKEST ANGEL Has been well beaten both runs this season beating just one home and is well out of the handicap here one to overlook. ERROR Needs to improve on what he has shown so far this term needs to drop a few pounds but of a light weight could have a squeak if finding some improvement. GRAND THEFT AUTO Winner last time out at Sligo in the moores millions series 3rd leg and will play a big part today weither he can hold off others who are better off today in likes of Advancealot and Refraction will have to see. MAXIMO SYMPHONY Held on both runs behind Grand Theft Auto this season and on level terms today cant enter in calculations today NEW CAVENDISH STREET Needs to improve and will be fighting for minor honours today. PRESTIGIOUS Well handicapped horse whos shown ability holds Grand theft auto (13th) when 10th at Kempton where Refraction (7th) finished in front of both. SCRATCH INSTRUCTIONS Has been running well without troubling the judge takes a step up in distance today but might improve for the step up but will have to to trouble the principals. SILVER HI HO Out and out stayer who drops back in trip today and might struggle to get in contention over this shorter distance.
Starting Prices 5/1 Grand Theft Auto 11/2 Refraction,Prestigious 6/1 Advancealot 8/1Attitude Ask 12/1 Brave Highlander 14/1 Zoo You 20/1 Gold eye 25/1Error 33/1Silver Hi Ho 50/1Scratch Instructions 100/1 Maximo Symphony 200/1 New Cavendish Street 500/1 Darkest Angel
The top weight Gold Eye will struggle to give weight away here and might need to drop a few pounds before winning a handicap chase this season although Zoo You has shown promise and Attitude Ask Looks the best horse in the field the weights might be against them both so the form we must look at is the Paddypower Maiden at Kempton Park Where Refraction 7th, Prestigious 10th and Grand Theft Auto 13th meet on level terms and meet again Refraction is slightly worse off today and will be close between the three but Advancealot as a good pull in the weights with Grand Theft Auto who beat him at Sligo and might beat them all Brave Highlander looks a nice type and will surely find easier races in the season.
TIP ADVANCEALOT NB REFRACTION

Re: WEEK 5 Preveiw LONDON MARATHON
Spot on with Gold Eye carrying top weight, I don't expect it to win a handicap this season but it's nice to see how it performs under these conditions. If it were to win it would be just as pleasing as winning a G1 race.
Great preview by the way.
