    Braveheart’s runner, 2nd favourite this morning, drifts like the proverbial to 12/1 and finishes plum last.

    Is "The List" still on here somewhere?

    There didn’t seem much in the form to suggest the horse should ever have been second favourite.

    He’s been beaten a long way several times and the last time he ran at the track he was 8th of 8 runners, just as he was today. His only win was at 1/7 in a Brighton 4 runner maiden and he has now finished last in four of his last six runs.

    Somewhat surprising then that the Timeform preview gave him four stars and declared the following in their blurb:-

    "Quickaswecan could well be the value play given his prominent style having shaped well at Kempton 2 starts back"

    Maybe I am not shrewd enough to see these value plays on horses with a habit of finishing last.

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
