I’m not sure I’d fancy backing any 3yo’s if the ground is going to be as bad as people are suggesting.

I was considering Reverence, but he seems underpriced at 12/1. I’m not sure whether to take that as a positive though? As a 7yo with mediocre form this year, I was thinking he deserved to be a 25/1-33/1 shot.

He has shown one or two glimpses of ability this year, & the trainer seems to be talking him up. He’s the type who could run well in a wet race like this, a bit like the old regular Somnus did a for a few years on the trot.

I agree with you entirely Colin. Reverence showed a glimpse of his old self last time out at Chester (albeit in a listed race). It was a most eyecatching performance. However any apparent value seems to have gone now. 33/1 yes 12/1? not for me.

I think this race (as most of these sprints do) looks incredibly hard to solve. If I had to pick one at this stage it would just be a speculative punt on Prime Defender @ 50/1

My first post on here, and the first horse I remember backing was called
Sheer Jest. My Dad had got a tip for it and I had £5 @ 8/1.

It won….. and I was hooked.
