Trainer Iain Jardine has had some fancy priced winners this season so a chance is take on his sole runner of the day at Doncaster, his 6yr old ran a cracker here back in June under Megan Carberry over 1m 6f so this drop back down is of no concern.

Sure he's not won a race since 2013 when he was under Michael Bell but again that was then this is now, with 23 runners heading for post it's not a race for the faint hearted, it's also not a race you could lay down your rent money on with any great confidence but it does look worth having a go.

Jockey Edward Greatrex gets the leg up for the first time BUT will surely have sat on the fella more than once back home, he also takes off a very valuable 5lb and in this ground could make all the difference at the business end, ''Note'' the selection has won on similar ground in the past.

3:30 Doncaster - Shrewd. 0.5 E/w Bet @ 33/1 Bet365 & Betfred + Hills .........

D3.30 Shrewd 33/1 Betfred

Good luck Jimmy - I'm with you on this one and can't see the 33/1 lasting much longer. Edward Greatrex is great value for his 5lb claim and it's often makes the difference (booking a decent claimer) in these competitive handicaps. The claiming jockeys booked previously aren't as good as Greatrex in my opinion and 3 of the horses 4 wins have come in soft/heavy ground. The higher drawn horses are usually favoured in soft ground here so 18 of 22 will do nicely and at this price looks great value.
