Great Leighs 13/1/09

[fintron]

2.40 Great Leighs Milne Bay - I was impressed with this one when I went to Wolverhampton in mid-December and despite drifting and starting at a massive 10/1 he beat River Kirov comfortably. That form has been boosted multiple times by the runner up since, and as he's been raised just 6 lb in the handicap there could be plenty more to come from David Simcock's gelding. He is also unbeaten over course and distance from two previous runs so is clearly the one they have to beat.
