Speculative one: Collection @ 200/1 for the Derby with WH. 2.5 pts e.w. Won a handicap today and nothing particular special about the race, indeed he only won it off a mark of just 80. However visually he was impressive imo. Relatively keen early on, then blocked off at least twice and possibly more then he picked up, widest of all, in good style and won nicely and impressively eye catchingly to me. Im no time expert but from figures that i understand, it was just slower than the older horses handicap on the card and more considerably slower than the group race won well by lash lashes. However that is to be expected, this is after all a relatively moderate race. However this game is all about impressions and I was impressed especially considering that it looked keen early on and still managed to pick up late. It clearly is progressing, second on debut, he then won at odds on. First real disappointement was first up this season, he was very keen that day and didnt get home in probably not ideal softer conditions. However the style of his late win today suggests that 12f would not be totally out of the question, he is his derby winning trainers only entry and at huge odds maybe worth a little play. Every chance he will go elsewhere in which case I would follow him in that,but at these sort of odds in race that looks to have lots of questions at the moment without New Approach and Weld's impressive horse the other day, he maybe worth a little go despite massive improvement being required.
