Another ante-post toe in the water for the Betfair Hurdle:
Gwafa 80+ at Betfair
As with Cliffs Of Dover earlier in the week, the hope is that he stays in the race as long as possible, gradually shortening as the race approaches and giving me the chance to lay off at shorter and have bets to no down side.
Gwafa has ‘only’ been off since early last season but was rated 149 when last seen over hurdles (Oct 2016) when he was 2/1f to give the then 155-rated winner Hargam 4lbs yet he gets in here off just 140. He made a promising comeback on the AW recently and is generally 50/1 with the other bookmakers. On my figures his best form is as good as anything else at the top of the betting.
