Saturday Jumps (25/09/10)

[BKI Punter]

3:20 Market Rasen Grand Slam Hero - 5pt win - 7/1 (Bet365) Backed this horse in the thread lto when hacking up over a slightly longer trip at Ffos Las, but I have reason to believe he'll fare well in the drop back in trip. Before falling at the first (had never fallen before) and being pulled up (massive hampering early on) the horse had a string of 1's to it's name, and had gone from being rated 113 to 138 over fences. Kept the rating of 138 after being pulled up at Newton Abbot and was clearly well in at Ffos Las. Always travelling well, pulled wide in the straight by Paddy Brennan and cruised home. Was heavily eased before the line and the chasing pack made up 4 or 5 lengths in the last 100 yards so the winning distance could have easily been 10 or 12 lengths had he actually been ridden out. Has had a month's break since then. The Twiston-Davies horses are going really well at the moment and 7/1 is massive value for this horse given that it is not exposed at this level and has had no problem carrying big weights in handicaps in the past. Will go well on the ground and won at Market Rasen earlier in the year over this exact trip in a class 1 listed handicap chase. William Hill and VC have already priced this horse up at 11/2 and 9/2 respectively, and those prices look about right.

Re: Saturday Jumps (25/09/10) 2.20 Market Rasen Stage Acclaim - third here behind Australia day when last seen over hurdles and the fourth has won twice since (once on the level) to boost the form. Ran well enough at Bath recently over a trip very much on the sharp side and better expected tomorrow over 2m 1f. 16/1 VC Bet. 3.20 Market Rasen No Panic - CD winner here in July and has won last time at Cartmel to advertise well being further. Although all wins on faster ground has placed on soft to hopefully of a decent run. 9/1 VC Bet.
