I’ve not much really to add, yet, to this thread but I will go over what I put on the Galway Plate thread.

1 Anthony Mildmay / Peter Cazalet Memorial Chase (AKA) London National at Sandown.

2 Ritz Club Trophy Handicap Chase (AKA) William Hill Handicap ran at Cheltenham Festival.

Any Class 1 chase over 3m+ and Class 2 over 3m4f should be of interest to anyone looking for National clues. A couple worth putting on the radar would be:

Cheltenham PaddyPower Meeting – C1 Gd3 3m3f Hcap Chase
Cheltenham December – C1 Listed 3m1f Hcap Chase
Sandown December – C2 3m6f London National

The two Cheltenham races have thrown up quite a few National runners in recent years. Mon Mome won the latter race last season and My Will has won the 3m3f race in the past. Comply or Die ran in both races last season.

The 3m6f London National was first staged last season and attracted horses like Kilbeggan Blade, Rambo and Bowleaze. With hindsight this may not be a classy enough contest to throw up national clues but it’s too early too write-off as a National trial after one season.
