Each-way double for Wednesday

Call Me Lord - Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle

Nicky Henderson had three welcome winners over the weekend, ending a short drought for the yard and Constitution Hill could hardly have been more impressive in the Supreme on Tuesday.

One of his more interesting runners in the handicaps has to be Call Me Lord in Wednesday’s Coral Cup. The nine-year-old has come in for some lenient treatment from the handicapper this term, despite some creditable efforts in defeat, most notably a placed effort in the Lanzarote just two starts back.

A return to this trip will suit and he has Cheltenham form in the book, having won the International here back in 2019. With a drop back to a shorter distance and a strongly run race likely to suit, he looks capable of outrunning odds of 33-1 in a race that Skybet are paying eight places in.

Poseidon - Grand Annual

A case can be made for plenty of them in the Grand Annual but a Charles Byrne runner catches the eye at a big price.

Poseidon has been unsuited by very testing ground in his last couple of starts but he wasn’t given a hard time when his chance had gone in either of those races and he looks interesting here with conditions in his favour this time.

The eight-year-old has already looked better over fences than hurdles, winning a decent handicap chase at Cork earlier in the season, and he seems to relish coming off a strong pace. That scenario looks likely here, with a host of front runners in a race that is usually run at a frenetic pace and he might be able to pick up the pieces and outrun odds of 20-1.
