Can't back him and can't lay him today. In my opinion people are foolish to back him at the prohibitive odds and people are even more foolish to lay him because he is a horse with an abundance of talent.
I'm not sure whether he will make it round (his jumping errors can't be ignored, and with the amount of 'bankers' falling so far this week..... its hard not to be worried) I'm also not convinced he will have the stamina to last out over the extended 3m2f today, especially when it still looks rather sticky and tacky ground at Cheltenham.
I will probably back State Of Play e/w, he comes into the race fresher than most and the form of the Hennesy was given a boost in the William Hill handicap on Tuesday with Juvignor carrying a big weight only just to be denied on the line.
