Not a usual thing for me to look into a poor handicap at Wetherby but as the internationals look so poor my weekly accumulators are struck off and il have a small go on the horses.

An old fav of mine tuns today

3.20 Wetherby JACK THE GENT 20/1 returns after 200 odd days and off an exceptionally low mark of 107. He has to prove his stamina for the trip but I think conditions of the race may suit him. There are the 9 runners and whilst the majority of his form is over 2m, I can see him leading them all the way around. If he jumps as well as he can, he has a right chance of skipping clear and the ground is good for him.

He won a 19f novice hurdle and has always to my eye looked a horse who might surprise over a trip and his pedigree doesnt put me off his chances of staying either. He's a big old horse.

It's a leap of faith after he was pulled up in June but its a long break for an 11 year old to have and returning for perservering connections off 107 he ought to be knocking on the door sooner rather than later.

Got to be realistic so small stakes.

Sadly they dropped him out the back- look out for him dotting up over 2m under his regular rider soon <doh>

I don't think it helped with the whole stall loading episode either and his chance was gone at the start. As you say if he can break evenly, he has a win in him for sure.

Thanks to Boil also as his confidence last night in Greenlaw persuaded me to put a few shackles on in a double with Scudamore's mount at the same track.

Apologies. Race was a shambles, winner got out and was clear of the trouble behind. 6 dog fell over at first bend hampering 4 others, who then hampered themselves at the second bend! Mine did well to finish 3rd and will hopefully do better next time.
