Equus Amadeus looks nicely treated on the pick of his form and worth a wager at 15/2 in the 2.10 at Soncaster today now dropped back in class.
The Tom Lacey trained five-year-old can be forgiven his lastest effort when 13th of 18 to Nietzsche in the valauble Grade 3 Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham as it was a messily run affair in whicb he was piched in at the deep end.
Prior to that he has resumed winning ways when beating Mick Thonic by 1/2 a length in an 8-runner contest at Wincanton.
After tracking the leaders on the outside he only had to be given a hands and heels ride to take up the running 150 yards from home and score readily off a mark of 128.
Equus Amadeus was value for more than the winning margin and is able to race in this class 2 affair, which is far less demanding than the Greatwood, off just 3lb higher.
It makes him a big player at the weights and he hails from a yrad which has been in fine form this season and is operating at a strike rate of 20 per cent in the last 14 days.
The booking of Aidan Coleman to do the stearing is aslo an eye-cacyhing one as he partenered Equus Amadeus to success in a bumper has has a strike rate of 23 per cent when teaming up with the yard in the last 12 months.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts win Equus Amadeus (15/2 Ladbrokes – BOG)
