Wincanton 1.30
The 1.30 at Wincanton is a competitive 3 miles and 1 furlong Handicap Chase Class 3 and currently 10 go to post. The market leaders are Some Chaos and Cobolo and although both have strong chances, there is no value in their prices and I want to take them on. CAPTAIN BUCKS steps down in Class. Clearly a horse with latent and unfulfilled ability, issues that have stopped him from winning seem to be more mental than physical. He has no issues with trip, Course or Going and Paul Nicholls will often come here to drop a horse in to an easier Grade to gain confidence. One day it will click and when it does the horse may quickly move back up the scale. I am prepared at the nice e/w Odds to take a chance today. Reikers Island is a 3 mile P2P winner who made a decent seasonal debut and the Hobbs Yard are flying and I see him as a bigger danger than the 2 at the top of the market. The real value though could be WIZARDS BRIDGE from another in-form Yard ( Tizzard); has had 2 runs so will be perfectly fit now, has won off a mark of 121; soft Going is fine if it rains a bit handles the Course and looks over-priced.
