Cravet is worth a bet at this price to see if he retains ability,on his day would be an odds on shot to win this beat kimbali off 85 last season by 3 1/4ls on decent ground and giving 6 pound that horse is now rated 85 and looks like winning more races.I kept the time of that race last season as it was decent, alakhan winning off 80 beating baby strange off 88 in a time .16 slower than cravat later on the card at chester.He then went onto leicester where he won off 91 on good ground beating amazing storm,upped in trip to 1m2fs this season beaten on soft ground those runs were forgiveable,got one opportunity to run on firm and was 6th of 13 to hamza a reasonable piece of form off 86.Then again had to revert to soft ground runs which he has shown a little form on, looking at his form it's blatantly obvious he's a gd/fast ground horse.
This has allowed cravat to tumble to a mark of 74,gets to run in a handicap he wouldv'e been odds on to win this race on last seasons form and even a strong favourite on his 6th to hamza,tomorrow will get his ground and de sousa rides hasn't ridden him on last six occasions,but all three wins have come with him riding.It will be very interesting to see how he goes in the betting as this is a very poor race the top weight is 72 rated 4yr old standing strong.Has to be worth having a dabble,infact i will follow him for a few races as i can him coming back to form and possibly still winning a very nice race at some point!I would be amzed if he's not backed at these prices.
