7.50 – Allerford Jack 2pt win 11/4

I’m surprised to see Allerford Jack as big as 11/4 this morning.  A reproduction of last week’s effort will be good enough for him to win again, and although he won last week, I felt he idled once hitting the front, and he was in fact far superior to the opposition than the winning distance implied.

You are always taking a risk, when a horse is running just 5 days after his last effort, but the fact that he idled, tells me that he was holding a little bit back for himself, so he may not have had as hard a race as it looked.

Delgany Gunner is solid, but has nothing in hand from the handicapper, whilst Whistling Senator, had a crashing fall last time, which must  have dented his confidence, so again I’m happy to take him on.
