Says D Nevison today. I'm more a flat man but would have thought something in the 90's would be nearer. After all the vast majority of low grade handicaps are 0-100 or 0-110 and are not sellers. Am I right ?
Well, glancing at the card at Newton Abbot tomorrow, Paul Nicholls has a last-time-out maiden winner - Sandalwood - running off 98, which rather proves your point.
Is it Myristika which Nevison was on about? The only thing plater-like about the horse is its jumping. To be fair, it was a bit better last time, but the time before, at N Abbot, was novicey to say the least. On the other hand, some of that was down to it jumping slightly right-handed, so M Rasen should suit better.
