I've added another in this race.

Future Proof 100/1, 7 pl - currently sits seventh in my ratings table but within a pound or two of rivals that are much shorter in the betting. The ground might not be soft enough for him and he's been beaten a long way in his two starts for this trainer which probably explains his price. He might also have trouble getting through from the rear in this big field so his price is entirely understandable but sometimes this is a funny old game and strange things can happen but on his very best form he is entitled to be in the mix for the minor places and I'm curious that the 7lb claimer has a 25% strike rate for the horse's previous trainer Noel Meade. Perhaps Meade recommended the lad to the new trainer. If I can get 25s or 20s place-only that would appeal more as a longshot.

Edit - took 22/1 top 5 finish with Sky - also qualifies for the thread.
