SHAPESHIFTER

Like Storm Survivor on Wednesday, Ballypatrick gave a run for the money at Huntingdon yesterday but was caught at the line.  But, like the day before, the following race at the same track produced a good price winner in the form of Art Professor who had been supported all day.

I was one for two on shorter priced horses yesterday.  Mr Mole won as expected for Paul Nicholls and AP McCoy while Close Touch didn't like the step up in distance who was well beaten by African Gold.

Like the previous day, not a lot of winners but the value kept the day at more or less break even.


WEAK FAVES & VALUE PLAYS IS PUBLISHED MONDAY TO FRIDAY PRIOR TO THE FIRST RACE OF THE DAY.
