Ma Shantou I think Ma Shantou is a bet at around 5-1. He has to improve again, but he's produced two personal bests at Cheltenham already this season, and conditions should not be an issue.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Gowel Road could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Strong Leader might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Ma Shantou is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Kamsinas traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
