In the next at Southwell the 2.25 we have a hot pot of a favorite in the much improved Laffan, a typical Ryan improver last time out over this course and distance on his handicap debut and there may well be more to come from him. The danger to our selection M J Woodward, is that Laffan may just dominate from the front and we may not get a look in. But M J Woodward also won over course and distance last time out and did the same two races before that over 5 furlongs, in between hit bit the dust after a very slow start. Luke Morris is up again today and providing he gets clean away from the stalls then he may just worry the favourite and be in contention long enough to get us a trade. Available to back at 11.5 leaves us needing in running lay off prices as follows:
Lay off at 7.4 for a 1 pt all green or
Lay off at 6.8 for at least a 1.3 all green or
Lay off at 6.0 for a 1.7 all green profit or
for the AMBITIOUS:
Lay off at 5.7 for a 2 pt all green or
Lay off at 2.6 for a 6.5 pt profit (stake 8.8 pts)
