The Topham Chase is always a hugely competitive race on the track and in the betting ring so it is always one to keep an eye on from a punting point of view, the race card will be full of information ahead of the race including the form lines and connection details for each of the potential entries. The Race Card will be as comprehensive as ever when it becomes available at the five day declaration stage during the week of the race.
Race OverviewAlways Waining had a very similar preparation when winning this race for the last two years, while Frankie Figg is the only other runner with winning form over these fences, though has yet to win this contest in three attempts. There are plenty of others with chances and the suggestion is 2010 Paddy Power winner LITTLE JOSH, who returns to a realistic level for the first time this season and could be well suited by the demands of this race.[Steve Boow]
