Paddy Power - early thoughts.

The weights came out for Jumping's first really big contest yesterday and a couple of horses I've backed already for the King George and the Gold Cup are entered up and I think they're both backable for this race as well. If Long Run is going to trouble Kauto Star at Kempton then he must surely go close in this off a mark in the 150s. I backed him before the weights came out and will top up on the day. Mad Max was running a stormer in the Arkle before making a mistake at the notorious second last and followed up with a nice run at Aintree ( where his main rival ran below par admittedly) and is a top prospect for big honours this year and in the future. He's a massive horse so a big weight won't bother him but his best form is on ground better than soft. Just a small bet has been placed at 12s just in case.

Long Run £10w @ 44/10
Mad Max £10w @ 12/1
