Tonight at Newton Abbott I think that it could be worth taking on the lightly raced favourite in the shape of the Colin Tizzard trained hot pot Merry Terry. The grey gelding seems to go well fresh as shown when winning first time out last season, however that was a bit easier than today's race and he is racing from a mark 8lb higher today. From his new mark he struggled in a Conditional race finishing fourth to Definite Dawn. In his previous completed attempt in open handicap chases he has finished fifth off a mark of 93. The negative is that he goes well fresh but with three of the other four runners winners of open handicap chases the call is to take him on. There are risks involved but the price of 2.46 reflects the risk. He can be run from a prominent position and it may well be able to lay him even shorter in running before the half way stage.
7.40 NA - Merry Terry - Lay 2.46.
Any mistakes and a drift in running could see you buy him back at 7 for 35% of your stake to guarantee a 65% profit regardless.
