This is one that was tweeted earlier this evening. In the lucky last at Sandown I'm hoping that a consistent type can give us a trade tonight. He is a fair hurdler but is also at home on the flat and the fourteen furlongs on softish going tonight could be right up the street of Mohanad. The five year old has traded in each of his last five flat races trading down to odds on four times and to 2.38 the other. Tonight's jockey rode him last time to be second at Goodwood and the horse has twice performed with credit at Sandown. He has traded in this class on the flat and from this mark (taking into consideration the jockeys claim) and he should go well enough to at least get us a trade. Generally ridden just behind the pace I hope he will be in a position to challenge around the three furlong marker. Backed at 9.2 leaves a lay off in running at an average of around 5.5 for an all green screen to the value of 1.3 points or lay off at 6 for an all green profit of one point.
I wish they were all that easy, never look a gift horse as they say. The money for him made the pre race trade easy enough, even if it was just seconds before the off. Happy days.
