debut at Leicester, a race that has been franked on a number of occasion. This bay colt railed like a greyhound at Chester next starts and had all in trouble until tiring in the last 100m. The testing ground could well have made a difference between winning and losing. In many respects Come Uppence has a similar profile in this race with testing going bringing a question mark or two. He has the pace to test these but will he struggle to finish his race. It will be interesting to see what tactics are employed today: whether gaining a lead and hoping to last to the finishing line or hold up tactics and making a fist of it at the line. If the going was faster I would be confident this horse would be a good each way bet. However, with such testing conditions I would take a watching brief.
