Ed Quigley Antepost Armchair - Tuesday, March 26

Ed is back with an antepost selection for next week’s Topham Chase, which takes place on Day Two of the three-day Grand National meeting at Aintree.


Topham Chase - Your Darling

Ben Pauling continues to see his string operate in fine fettle, and fresh off the back of another Cheltenham Festival winner, the Naunton Downs handler will be targeting more success as the sun comes out and we target more Spring Festivals.

Aintree’s Grand National meeting is just a fortnight away and the excitement is building towards the big one. Underfoot conditions will have a major say, as they always do on the big one so it is a case of powder dry for now for the world’s most famous steeplechase.

However, come rain or shine, YOUR DARLING is a horse I want to be with at 14/1 in the Topham Chase, and he could be one of two representatives for Pauling.

The nine-year-old is a bit of an enigma, and probably hasn’t lived up to the early potential he showed.

However, he was devastatingly good when last seen romping home at Ascot in November. He is up to 137 now, but the key to him appears to be keeping him fresh.

His record off the back of a 100-day or more layoff is phenomenal, and has been targeted at this since his win at the back-end of last year.

He is a great jumper and strong traveller when on-song and I think he will be absolutely primed to the max for this encounter.

Underfoot conditions won’t really matter, trip and track will be spot on, and I want to get him onside.
