Bravemansgame backed as Nicholls seeks win 13
The current Betfair Exchange antepost market favourite is Bravemansgame. Betfair ambassador Paul Nicholls' runner heads the field of nine at 2.942/1.
Nicholls is targetting his 13th win in this race and his contenders aren't limited to the favourite.
Our tipster Tony Calvin backed another Nicholls horse, Hitman, a few weeks ago and this week went back in with a bet on the outsider of the field Millers Bank at 50/1.
He said: "Aside from Royale Pagaille, the one that I am currently drawn to at a massive price is Millers Bank, currently 80.0 on the exchange, as he actually has a similar profile to Hitman and he is about 10 times the price. He is 50s with the Sportsbook for each-way 1,2,3 punters. Back him."
Betfair ambassador Bryony Frost has been recovering from a broken collar-bone and looks set to return on Frodon in the King George.
The Welsh Grand National is the big race the next day at Chepstow.
Across the Irish sea, meanwhile, it's the Leopardstown Christmas Festival which runs from 26 to 29 December.
