    Indeed, cormack, a stiff rise in the weights is usually a good sign, rather than  bad one, isn’t it.

    Foolishly, I didn’t even bother to check its form, since it was the early favourite with the bookmakers. Maybe that’s the time to take their AP favourite seriously. It makes sense.

    PS: I see AP Racing covered that. I mean the stiff rise in the weights.

    Maxilon,<br>I believe in trying to keep it as simple as possible too but…<br>

    <br>You mean even if it’s sole rival (a recent distance winner on identical ground!) is, by consensus of ratings, a two stone inferior animal?<br>

    Hi Maxilon

    I agree with you the GoingDistanceCourse are the most vital factors.  Being able to consider near victories over very similar conditions is a major advantage, though.

    nore, I see your point.  

    But I have been known to back against such a good thing if the CD, D, or TF criteria aren’t met.  On occasion, I have looked a complete chump – but you have to find value odds somewhere.

    Carlisle,

    Agreed. But I can be quite strict with seemingly unlucky horses who appear to have stayed a trip, but who haven’t actually won over it. Percentage wise, it’s probably best to stick to the rules.:cool:
