Punching Above His Weight
A prolific winner over course and distance and retains all his ability despite advancing years.
After the 33/1 winner yesterday it is back to more humdrum affairs in the 4.20 Southwell.
There are several course specialists in the field but none of them can rival Punching’s record at Southwell. Racing at Class 5 level or lower, his record over course and distances is: 241313123121121452.
That equates to 7 wins from 18 races and a 39% strike rate. None of his rivals come close to matching him.
Although 8-years-old, he has retained his form throughout the winter, running an impressive fifth behind Bandstand on 7 February in one of the hottest handicaps seen at the track.
Running off a handicap mark he has won at before, there isn’t much to worry him in this straight-forward looking race. At 4/1 (Ladbrokes) he is the best bet.
