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.

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.

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:
