BBOTD - Tuesday 29th October

19.10 Wolverhampton: No Win No Fee @ 4/1 Bet365 No Win No Fee ran a huge race considering the circumstances last time out at Wolverhampton over 7f on his first start since May. Not only did he have to overcome the second widest draw in a 12-runners strong field, which is always a disadvantage at Wolverhampton as the first turn comes almost straight after the start, but in the case he got hampered before entering this first turn and in consequence lost ground and had to settle in rear. He travelled widest of all without cover the whole race and while he made a huge move from 4f out on the outside in order to be in a decent position turning for home, this manoeuvre cost loads of energy and he was forced to turn four wide on the extreme outside. It was impressive to see how determined he galloped all the way to the line to finish an excellent 3rd in the end. This was only his fifth start, his first on the All-Weather and there should be definitely more to come. He steps up in trip and on pedigree the extended 9f are not unlikely for him to get. He can race off the same mark as last time, which could be lenient and as the feather weight with a good draw he looks to have plenty in his favour tomorrow.

Re: BBOTD - Tuesday 29th October Catterick 2:20 - Happy 90th Birthday John Gawthorpe Handicap (4) A very nice handicap at Catterick tomorrow and 13 runners will go to post thus far. I think the Kevin Ryan trained Nasharra is overpriced in the market given the trainers form and jockeys claim even if the horse is out of form. This gelding loves heavy ground and won easily on heavy at Hamilton back in May. His last win was off a mark of 78 and runs off 81 tomorrow but Kevin Stott takes off 5 pounds which effectively takes him below his last winning mark. This horse completed a hat-trick in the summer so clearly has ability. Nasharra WIN @ 16/1 Bet365
