Market makes this a two horse race, but I think it is a bit more open than that. I have had a small bet on Mance Rayder, who has finished 2nd of 7 and 3rd of 5 on two previous runs here. That 2nd place was when finishing 5 lengths behind Informateur. Informateur has since finished 13 lengths ahead of I’m To Blame, tomorrow I’m To Blame has to give 7 lbs to Mance Rayder, ITB is 11/8 MR is 10/1 so you can see why I am backing it. Selection’s last run at Wetherby was disappointing and that is a big negative, but I am hoping that return to this track will see him run better.
It’s out to 14/1 (might look at extra places betting if it drifts a bit more), interesting money for McManus horse, 8/1 into 7/2, he is another possible.
