Has nobody got the in form (understatement) Richard Fahey's hugely progressive 3yo THIRD TIME LUCKY on their radar for Saturday's race?
I can't see past the horse.......
He could quite conceivably have won his last 6 races (won 4) but his most striking effort was when winning incredibly easily last time out at Thirsk - in a fast time - despite being heavily eased close home,'Tracked leader, led on bit over 1f out, driven clear, heavily eased closing stages.
There were 3 1/2 lengths back to the secong that day and fully 9 lengths back to the 3rd.
Just how much more did he have up his cuff I wonder???
He picks up a 4lb penalty for Saturday but is due to go up 8lbs in future so is in fact 4lb 'well in'.
He is top on both RPR and Topspeed by my calculations and his Topspeed figure was achieved whilst being 'heavily eased' it is reasonable to assume there is plenty more to come.
I can only assume that he has been ignored because it seemed for a long time it was very unlikely he would get in but with all the defections at the 5 day stage he now sneaks in at the bottom as number 35 of 35 - so there isn't even going to be any need to sweat on a run.
If Jack Garrity were to get the ride that would be the icing on the cake.
I can actually see him going off near enough fav come Saturday.

Third time lucky? Well he has won 4 times this season... trawling through his form actually has a shout... beat horses like Polarisation... and beaten half a length by Mister Music... on 8st 4... don't like his inexperience though generally won races with 8 runner fields... that has to be a negative with 35 horses going to run...
Wont back him though ... but good luck...

doesn't bode much confidence in any Fahey runners considering Tony Hamilton at Ripon... not sure where Garrity is... or Challoner...
some places he is 10s? not sure where the confidence is coming from? but will be interesting to read Faheys column tomorrow ...

actually found out...
Over towards the inside the of the track will be Third Time Lucky (7), who clearly knows how to win as he was recording his fourth victory of the season at Thirsk the other day, for which he gets a 4lb penalty.
He's improving, his form has worked out well this season and he'll appreciate any dig in the ground, but the one thing at the back of my mind is whether or not he'll be suited to the straight track there

Tony Hamilton and George Chaloner wouldn't make the weight Iris. Garritty is at Chester.
Fahey mentioned after the Lingfield run in July that he felt the horse didn't handle the straight track that day.
