I'm in danger of losing my discipline today.

Last night with the weakness behind Gunsight Ridge I decided to save on Monsieur Lecoq (took 12/1 plus the boost) and now I've taken Paddy's Poem at 33/1 (to 3 places with Coral). I did look at it a couple of times yesterday evening but the form of the stable and the first time up in soft ground worried me too much. However, the extra place, the boost and where he sits in my ratings table for the race has me going down the sickness insurance route. I have it as an incredibly tight yet strong handicap which literally any of them could win. Obviously if the horse isn't fit or just prepping for something down the line then 100/1 wouldn't be value but if he's fit and trying he shouldn't be anywhere near 33/1.
