OK, finally got on but the best I could do was 14/1, 6 places (B365), rather than the 20/1 in a few places yesterday evening.


The beast in question is Oliver Show.


I reckon it is only a matter of time before punters wake up to the fact that this is officially the best handicapped horse in the race, 6lbs well in for having run to a career best in Bahrain last time. It's the kind of thing the likes of RPRs don't pick up on as they tend to go very conservative with the form there.


The handicapper has recognised that the form is good but I think it is another six or seven pounds better again and the horse comes out clear top on my figures. The 15 draw is probably okay. Originally with Michael Stoute it would have been categorized as a typical late developer, the type he did so well with as the horse matured, and Boughey has been bringing about that improvement. The horse has form on slow turf and on slow AW surfaces and won't mind any drying out.


Loughnane is riding at 16% for the trainer this calendar year, rising to 62% first-four finishes.


If I were a bookie I wouldn't want to be going any longer than 7/2 about Oliver Show.


5 + 3 = ?
