I'll do two tomorrow for the reason that they seem over-priced, to me and Ew value might be found, if I'm lucky: hardly a ringing endorsement, I know, but hey-ho, I'll do 'em for small ew stakes.
Okito Soushi - Curragh 4.15 28/1 Ew 10 places.
He's kept the company of Cleveland and acquitted himself well so the current odds of 33/1 look tempting compared to Cleveland's 8/1, that's for sure. I backed OS in the Ebor and things didn't work out but I don't think he was unfancied that day. He's a lightly-raced sort and we might see some improvement. Stepping up in trip, too, which might give further encouragement.
28/1 for 10 places seems ludicrous so I'll have a nibble.
Captain Haddock - 3.25 Epsom 8/1 Ew
I had the impression before he ran last (over c/d) that he was coming into some sort of form. As it happens, he was too far back to mount any kind of challenge but only keeping on. We shouldn't forget, though, that he's won over c/d last year in an amateur riders' handicap. He thrashed his field that day, winning by 4L. That was off 78. Tomorrow he goes off a mark of 73, having a pull of 7Lbs for running behind Saratoga Gold lto. If he's ridden more prominently, we may hope for a favourable outcome, eh?
