Looks as difficult to solve as usual and luck in running probably crucial so decent odds needed to make the risk worthwhile,getting them not so hard in a 28 runner field.I have gone against the stats in that my main pick won lto (only 3 lto winners in last 19) .He gets a 4lb penalty but Stefano Cherchi negates most of that and it is a great opportunity for him,the draw is an unknown and he is drawn near (ish) the middle so may have options to go straight or as I suspect work over towards the stands rail,all depends on the break and early pace.
First View is one of 4 for SBS and a 5yo like 2 of the others and you would imagine they have been kept in training for races such as this,not much between First View and Electrical Storm imo so done First View ew @ 22/1 8 places Skyb and ES @ 16s ew 7 places B3.65.Anyone have a fancy at big odds?
jimi hendrix for me, fits a lot of trends- one of the few fancied horses drawn high , forgive his last run ( drawn wide at goodwood ) must have a great chance.

Why is a low draw thought be a hindrance? Is it because the horse can get trapped on the rails ? On the other hand a high draw means further to go round the bend.

No seriously -what is the answer ? Can't be the ground being better on the stands side as it's flat throughout . If a front runner is drawn low what's not to like? I can see that a hold up horse might be better on the outside but then again they can get lucky with gaps.

I could have sworn there was a bend -must be either mixing up the courses or thinking about the Cesarewitch . In that case, I can't see why there should be a draw bias

Bends are only one part of draw bias. Watering, where the main part of the field race, help from the rails, and many other small differences. Not the sort of race I often bother with from a betting angle. Might as well buy a scratch card. I prefer races where only 3 or 4 can win.

It amazed me a little today as I backed the horse a few times this year for some decent place market prices but I never even look at handicaps such as this anymore. Strangely enough my first ever winner was in this same race in 1958 when my dad took me to Newmarket. Shilling EW at 20/1 London Cry.
