Hopeless yesterday, and in a rush today – heading off for the delights of the Severn Railway with puppy and nephew in tow – the wonders of Spring!
Not exactly missing much either. I wasn't expecting to have a bet, but hadn't seen the novice chase at Exeter. Pur De Sivola is a horse we've been on the right and wrong sides of within the daily challenge. He's a decent animal, just shy of Arkle class, and this should suit. I would have preferred Choc Thornton on board, and he does hit a flat spot, and he did fall last time, so I could see him being opposed.
Particularly as his main challenge is trained by Hobbs, who farms novice races here in general and this race in particular. However, Oceanos looks a class below and on ratings looks significantly better left handed than right. That said, the overall profile and a RP tissue price of Evens about the favourite could lead to Oceanos being backed and Pur De Sivola drifting. I won't be here to know, but I think the current prices are about right.
This is the 200th bet of the challenge – 112% returns.
£500 Challenge
Pur De Sivola £20 win at 8/11
