An odds on favourite there may well be and he may win like an odds of favourite but Fire Fighter owes his position in the market to the feats of his trainer and not on what he has achieved on the racecourse so far. The horse I'm pinning hope on for a trade is Countrywide Fame, beaten but ran decently at Leicester last time and before that the gelding won over today's course and distance with a fair bit in hand over Silver Tigress. The extra distance seems to suit Countrywide Fame and in two races upped to 11f he has traded easily and in five races since cheekpieces were applied he has traded all five times. Going and distance are no problem and his winning jockey is back on board, I'm hoping that he is ridden from the front again and stays there long enough to give us our trade. With SJ pushing the price out to 5/1 (6.0)and a look around the exchanges and you will find 6.2 best at the moment, leaving a lay off price in running of 3.7 for a profit of 1.3 pts or lay off at 4.1 for an all green screen to the value of 1 point.
