Another awful ride, absolutely no chance from the rear, reefing! Still, on we go and that’s jockeys for you but disappointing as I expected a big run! Possibly more to follow
3:20 Chester
BURDETT – 1 Pt EW @ 12/1 4 places generally
He looked pretty good value for the win and, seeing as he landed his maiden on soft at Ffos Las last September, he’s going to be right at home if the heavens open.
I’m hoping a proper test at the trip will also help negate the very wide draw to some extent, but Ray Dawson – who takes over this weekend – was probably fairly settled on the fact he’ll most likely have to pick his way through from the back anyway, and stall 14 in effect just makes his mind up for him.
Prior to Friday’s action, Channon had only had four runners at Chester since taking over the licence from his father but one of those was successful and two others have finished in the frame so it’s hoped the journey might pay off again.
