17.00 Wolverhampton: Novabridge @ 7/2 Bet365 - 4pts win
Novabridge appeared to be extremely unlucky in his most recent start at Lingfield. He got hampered right after the start, had to settle in rear as a consequence and got then slightly hampered coming around the home turn again, the jockey had to take a pull. The nightmare didn't end here as Novabridge didn't get a clear run approaching the home straight, and when finally a gap opened over 1f out he finished nicely without getting asked for everything. With a clear run he would have gone very close no doubt, and as he gets another pound off the mark he looks to be weighted to win, down to his last AW winning mark too.
Oratorios Joy was just denied to win last time out by a completely unexposed horse that was way ahead of the mark. But that aside, she finished a strong second. She travelled strongly in midfield and made an impressive move on the widest outside from 3f out. She was almost on bridle until approaching the final furlong, that well she was travelling, but couldn't match the burst of speed of the eventual winner. Still a big performance. She is higher than her last winning mark, but she had only two starts over 12f so far and this last strong performance to her name over this trip, so she could be able to win such a race of her current mark.
