Doncaster Tip: Irreverent

Posted wide in a steadily run affair at Wetherby but showed smart turn of foot with quickest closing sectional of the race by 0.42. Connections view him as a miler and could improve again.

Irreverent was a narrow winner at Wetherby last time out but he overcame numerous difficulties which means we should upgrade the performance. From a wide draw, Irreverent was posted three deep for much of the race and although there is no data to back this up, it’s would be reasonable to conclude he travelled further than anything else in the race.

If that wasn’t bad enough, he was posted wide in midfield behind a pedestrian early gallop. To his credit he overcame his positional difficulties to win by covering the final 3f, quicker than anything else in the race and by a margin of 0.42s.

Connections view him as a miler and that makes sense given he is a big, rangy individual. It is therefore to his credit that he won over 7f in a race that became a sprint finish. He’s still maturing but is a capable horse and one to keep onside.
