This fella has improved with age 5 wins from 26 runs on turf with 5 places and run well in numerous big field handicaps,he usually runs well fresh last season started off a mark of 82, his first seven runs were 1/82,1/87,2/92,3/94,3/94,2/94,5/97 he prefers decent ground and as yet hasn't had right conditions in first two runs.He's now slipped to a mark of 84 and with the decent ground coming into play will be the real start of his season and he will be some decent prices and looking back over the last couple of seasons he could win one of these very big handicaps at thirsk or ripon,maybe even a couple if the draws are kind to him.Drawn 1 tomorrow he's a massive 23 pounds better off with dubai dynamo on their last meeting over c/d with shirley teasdale taking off 7 pounds two thirds here last season off 94, tomorrow off 77.She may be a negative but given running style i will give her a chance,a few look badly handicapped or ground maybe against them.He's definitely the value in the race just a matter of wether she can judge the pace,one to follow for the future anway.
