FIVETHOUSANDTOONE– 1/2 Pt EW @ 40/1 6 places generally
A winner of the AW Sprint Championships back in the spring, Fivethousandtoone is only 1 lb higher than that now and has run well since, notably when fourth in the Chipchase at Newcastle, finishing behind Montassib, Kinross and Willem Twee.
He ran off a mark of 105 in the Wokingham (repeatedly denied a clear run) and 104 in the International and Stewards Cup so 99 looks very workable now and he shaped much better than the bare result in the City of York Stakes at the Ebor meeting last time, moving to the front on the bridle (touched 4.0 in-running) but weakening out of things having been a bit keen early on.
A return to a well-run 6f should suit, and I like the jockey booking who has ridden him once to a narrow 2nd and he’s surely too big a price not to chance.
