I am avoiding the so called main meetings with my first bet this weekend as Melvin Udall heads to Beverley for the 3.42pm where I feel he has an outstanding chance.
One start in Ireland saw the son of Earthlight outrun his price at the Curragh when fourth at odds of 80/1, but beaten less than two lengths at the line after running on well over the six and a half furlongs.
Now in the care of Ed Walker, whose string are in good form, he is upped a furlong which seems sure to suit, with my only worry the small field which may see it go tactical whereas I think he may prefer a test of stamina.
