Magicalmysterytour 10’s
Magicalmysterytour was a real eye-catcher last time out and looks each-way value at 10/1 in the 4.10 at Bath.
Willie Musson’s gelding stayed on really well under tender handling to finish a 1 1/2 length fifth of 12 to Bow To No One at York – a run which suggested his time was near.
He is certainly handicapped to go in again as he is now down to a mark of 77 and 6lb below his last win.
That victory came at Newmarket last August and he went on to finish second at Doncaster off a mark of 90.
Although the eight-year-old has yet to trouble the judge this season he has been running in far better quality contests than this and his handicap mark has plummeted.
Despite having to shoulder top weight this is by far the easiest opportunity he has had for some time, and with conditions ideal he must go close.
At 10/1 he looks overpriced for a horse with so much in his favour.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Magicalmysterytour (10/1 generally available – BOG firms)
El Dececy at 8’s
El Dececy would be chucked-in at the weights in the 2.00 at Bath if bouncing back to his best and makes plenty of each-way appeal at 8/1.
The gelding has been running better than his form figures suggest of late, and is now a massive 26lbs below his last winning mark.
Now in the care of Rae Guest, the seven-year-old showed plenty of pace at Brighton last time out until fading late on over the 10f trip, and it’s interesting that connections are now dropping him back markedly in distance to 6f.
He has shaped on a number of occasions as if the journey would suit and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa suggests to me that a big run is expected this afternoon.
There is little doubt that he is incredibly well treated and capable of winning this if coming back to anywhere near his best, and I would not be surprised to see him backed to do so this afternoon.
The stable like a punt, and at 8/1 he has to be of serious interest.
