Its A Long Road shaped well on seasonal reappearance and looks worth a wager at 9/2 in the 1.50 at Uttoxeter today now stepped back up in trip.
Tim Dennis’ charge was in goof form back in February, landing a 2m 1f contest on soft ground at Exeter off a mark of 95 before following up in game style on bottomless ground over 2m 3f at Taunton when staying on strongly to score by a length off 102.
The gelding was then clearly amiss pulled up on his final start of the campaign at Chepstow, but looked as good as ever when returning to action at Exeter last month and staying on from off the pace to finish a never nearer 10 3/4 length third to the thriving Never Says Never over 2m 1f at Exeter off 107.
Its a Long Road looked ring rusty and shaped as if needing the run, and it should have blown away the cobwebs and put him spot on for this.
The step up in trip to 2m 4f looks sure to suit, and off an unchnaged mark of 107 Its A Long Road looks value to turn over the jolly Baywing on ground that will hold no fears.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts win Its A Long Road (9/2 generally availaable – use BOG firms)
