'Joe Tizzard is in very good form and he'd be my pick of the day' - champion jockey Harry Cobden joins our expert panel

It’s Badger Beer day at Wincanton. Who wins the big one?

Harry Cobden, champion jockey I like The Changing Man. He was a good novice last year, even though he didn't win, and some of his best form is right up there. I don’t think he’s off a bad mark at all. He’s got a feather weight of only 10st 4lb and I think he’ll take a lot of beating.

Peter Donohoe, BoyleSports Lord Accord seems rejuvenated at the age of nine, having won as he liked the last twice. He's at his best on a sound surface, which he will get here and still has scope off 128 (second to Frodon in this race in 2022 off 136). If he can take a prominent position and jump well, he should be hard to pass.

Natalie Green, broadcaster Lord Accord catches my eye off a low weight of 10st 2lb. He arrives in good form after a handicap hurdle win at Sedgefield and easy success over this course and distance last time and is suited by good ground.
