BEST OF THE REST (SATURDAY)

Pundit Rory Paddock ignores Saturday's live ITV action and pinpoints a handful of horses from elsewhere that shouldn't be ignored. 14:40 GOWRAN PARK

With some of Ireland's biggest yards represented in De Bromhead, Elliott and Cromwell, as well as a JP McManus owned runner it's going to be tough for the selection to come out on top, that being said I have a sneaky suspicion for one at potentially huge odds.

Miss Corby finished 7th of 17 last time and I appreciate it doesn't spring out as a great piece of form but she made plenty of novicey errors in what was her first attempt at hurdling. I'm hoping she'll have learnt plenty for that and if you can find a bookmaker generous enough to potentially offer five places she could fill one of them.

The relatively lightly raced Foxy's Fancy wasn't miles behind when last seen filling fourth spot at Wetherby. More can be expected here and she's capable of grabbing one of the top-three spots.

Of the rest Ruby Island is a clear threat, hailing from the Nicky Richards Yard.

Freddy Robinson can be forgiven his poor recent performance in a much better race last month. Now dropping back down into Class 4 company, where he's finished second on his last two efforts in this grade, he can go close once again.

Both top-weight Bashful and six-year-old Apologise have put a winning run together and can add to their tally.

Prior to his last outing Big Interest was well fancied for the Hunter Chase at the festival. Finishing a fair fourth last time out behind three runners who all head to Cheltenham next week looks fair form. Still relatively young, compared to some of today's market rivals and the age of six he can get back to winning ways in what looks a weaker contest.

The JP McManus owned Early Doors has been a consistent type and looks an obvious threat, as long as he's still capable at this level at the age of 12.

Big Interest's stable mate Ramilies may have enough to pick up some prize money for his yard if the selection fails to deliver.

Another mention has to go to former King George winner Tornado Flyer who lines up, clearly not the horse he once was but if he was remotely close to it he'd demolish this field.

BIG INTEREST (WIN)
