LTO was 2nd here (C&D) when drawn 11,coming from a long way back, btn 1/2L.Again not been dealt a good hand in the draw stakes today either (15).In the above race this was 3Ls in front of Helm Rock,(recieved 5LB).Indenmify,who was the mkt leader for this race up 'til today,I think, also recieved 5LB off Helm Rock when beating it 1 1/2Ls LTO when winning over C&D.On that line of form I think Dutch Decoy has the beating of that horse which puts him right in the mix here. Will probably be dropped in like last time from 15 but hopefully Hayley will not give him so much to do & with luck in running can see this going close today.The current jolly,Scepticl,is only drawn 1 inside (14) aswell today ,that's been held up the last twice so will also need the breaks if ridden that way in this. If the rain hits,as long as not Hvy,got a good E/W chance to me today,granted a clear run. Around 16/17s on here & 10-12/1 with the books. GL ALL
The draw was too much to mitigate. I think 3rd was the best Hayley could have achieved from where the horse was. Another jockey would have let the horse come back in his own time. Maybe connections backed him e/way.
