Leicester 7/10/08

4.10 This looks a strong handicap and quite a few have claims, but the one I'm keeping faith with after backing last time is Electrolyser. Clive Cox's colt is by Daylami and out of a Sadler's Wells mare so looks well bred and he has been showing good potential on the racecourse to boot. He ran well on his debut at Lingfield in January finishing a close second and then lost his maiden tag at the second time of asking with a comfortable win at the Surrey track on his next appearance. He then had a little break from the middle of February but returned to action just over two weeks ago when finishing second to Midships in a decent Newmarket handicap. Rated 87 that day he was only a length and a half off the 92-rated winner and had 88-rated Soft Shoe Shuffle a further one and a quarter lengths back in 3rd. All three of those rivals that finished around him that day have ran well since to give the form a solid look about it. Adam Kirby's mount is only up 1 lb here and races in the same grade as for his last run. He should get the trip on breeding, which also suggests he should be okay with the little bit of cut in the ground that is evident here. 15/2 EW.
