Travino - 10/1
Travino was beaten 11 lengths last time out by a better handicapped horse, receiving a stone on the day. Travino's chances of winning was wiped out with a clumsy effort over the final flight, as his hefty weight concession took it's toll.
The horse that beat him that day Nicanor then went on to win the Royal and Sun Alliance Hurdle at Cheltenham in Style on Wednesday. So the form has been up held substantially.
The trainer's opinion is that Travino will be a better horse over 3 miles, although he has only run over 2 1/2.
The race before Travino beat Nicanor with better weight concessions. He was still giving Nicanor 5lb and beat him by 1/2 length. In the same race, 9 1/2 lengths behind Travino that day was Power Station.
Power Station is down to run in the race on Friday and is around the 8/1 mark, Travino is around 10/1 with Ladbrokes.

Tip - Travino (10/1)
Same weights, and a 9 1/2 length lead by Travino, can surely help him get his in front. He obviously has the favourite Black Jack Ketchum to beat (evens fav).
But with a good price to be taken about him at around 10/1 is worth an each way bet at 1/4 the odds.
