Chepstow: Pettochside
Much better than the bare form after running against a big draw bias at Ascot.
On his last outing Pettochside ran well in the face of a strong draw bias and is therefore overpriced in the 3.00 Chepstow.
His form at face value is moderate. He finished 13th at Ascot but he was third of the stand’s side group, who were heavily disadvantaged by the way the race developed.
11 May - Ascot
The horses drawn on the stand’s side improved by an average of 22lbs on their next start. Even if you exclude the last three horses that were eased down at Ascot, the average improvement is still an eye-watering 11lbs.
In purely numerical terms I expect Pettochside to run to his handicap mark at Chepstow this afternoon, but having won his last start in 2012 and being relatively lightly raced, he could be the big improver in the field and win at 9/1 (William Hill).
*Best Odds Guaranteed – William Hill
Back Pettochside with William Hill as they are best price and offer Best Odds Guaranteed. If the starting price (SP) is bigger than the current price, you get paid at the bigger SP.
