1/4fav to bt Trifollet 7/1, last time out, and though Trifollet won easily and has also won over this course, Findlays was going very well when unseating at the 13th making me think the early 5/4 was a decent price for a horse that apparently diff class. Noticing the recent drift to 2.70 and Trifollet coming into 4 I nipped to the bookies to get some 3/1 Trifollet before it shortened.
I get home 15 mins later and im now amazed to see Findlays at nearly 5/2!!
Is it just the worry about its jumping thats caused the drift? I cant see it as it was 1/4 in the last race against similair opposition. Trifollet hasnt shorted much, 3.75 from 4.00, considering the drift, and the outsiders have all shortened too, so it looks like its just opposition to Findlays, and not any particualr confidence in 1 other horse.
It goes against the way I bet to oppose Findlays as it looks the form horse by quite a way , but with weak field, an apparent iffy favourite, course and distance form, and improvement to come at the age of just 7, trifollet HAD to be backed at 3/1.
leg fallen off could still win with 3 legs although it unseated last its 11 lb better off against trifolet taking jockeys 7lb claim into consideration stupid price trifolet beat filth last time and findlays better going left and this is better goiund jockey won at the weekend and won on it last year, hit one fence at leicester

yes its not always easy to get the last right when travelling so well, if jock reigns back a bit to steady can get in too close and then they are slated, sometimes running stongly like that leads to an over jump, think thats what happened there unfortunately.
