Treacherous heads the market
It was a solid course and distance victory that Treacherous landed on his last outing. That, of course, gives him big claims for this return. He claimed that victory just back on February 16th, so this is a quick turnaround for him. He has now won seven times from 6f to 7f.
That C&D success happened at 8/1 and for this latest run, he is in at 13/8* (betting odds taken from Betway on February 18th, 2020 at 18:45) and continues to be well supported. He did look comfortable a few days ago, leaving plenty to spare when he had pulled into a winning position.
Can Concierge step it up
There was a second-place finish for Concierge on his last run. He was beaten out by a length and a half by Storm Over at Chelmsford in January. That was over a 6f trip. It was a good run though from 10/1 in a field of eight
Concierge does notably go off at the same mark. He was ahead of El Hombre in that contest as well and at 10/3 looks to be the closest challenger to Treacherous* (betting odds taken from Betway on February 18th, 2020 at 18:45).
Junius Brutus to show in an easier contest?
The presence of Junius Brutus in the race is very interesting. He has been involved in some tougher races than this recently. His last three have been at class 2 and his best finish in those was a 2nd place at Kempton in early November.
So will his drop down in class give him that extra edge that he needs to push for the win. In his last run, he went at course and distance at class 2 and was last of fifth. But he remains an interesting proposition at 5/1 odds* (betting odds taken from Betway on February 18th, 2020 at 18:45).
The Rest of the Runners
Thegreatestshowman was fourth of eight on his last run. That was in a 5f trip at Chelmsford earlier this month. He has claimed four wins from 5f to 6f and a couple of those were on polytrack.
Bungee Jump has not delivered any kind of recent form, as he has taken back to back seventh-place finishes. She has however secured a course and distance win, which happened back in 2018. She last won at Chepstow in September last year.
Last Page was a seventh-place finisher on his last run and he is a former course and distance winner as well. That was in November last year. But the last of 10 and then the recent 7th of nine is all that he has managed since then.
Predictions & Tips
Treacherous looks a very good fit for this race, the only slight question will be over the short gap between races. Some can handle it, some can’t. He did ease back on his recent victory.
Junius Brutus isn’t a bad one to consider because of his drop in class, but our pick for the win is Concierge. He has put in some decent runs lately and staying at the same mark of 85 could be key. He looks like a win is coming very soon.
