Sals 3.50 - Jufn - win at 4/1 bog betvictor

3yo handicap over around 10F.........

We've got a favourite here from the Stoute yard, Mainstream, who won a maiden last backend and now steps into handicaps. It's the profile of a horse that will usually go off at a short price and obviously they sometimes win, but they quite often don't ! The form of the maiden race won by this one didn't work out particularly well and his price is based on the trainer not on what he acheived.

I'll take him on with a horse who has already had a run this season.....in what is usually a hot handicap at the Craven meeting. He finished 4th and runs off the same mark today. That was a better race and he drops in class today. The Post reported that he didn't seem suited by the soft ground and got unbalanced running downhill into the dip. Salisbury is a bit more conventional with a rising finish and the ground should be better

With that run under his belt I'll take him to prove too good for the Stoute horse
