There is a lot of racing across the UK today and there was plenty of form to get stuck into, however as the title suggests we thought that there were a couple of horses which could run better than their odds, but nothing really strong enough for the account.
In the 4.20 Yarmouth one horse caught our eye and it is available at 20/1 in places but whilst we put up one at these odds last weekend there was a much more compelling case for doing so. Today, Magnitude gets in this race off top weight and if you go back to last year when it was trained by William Haggas, it has a C & D success to its name off a mark 15lbs higher. It has since run respectively over 7F again before it then seemed to lose its way and joined Gary Moore, and subsequently Mark Rimmer, after running over trips of a mile and 10 furlongs. Today it is returned to 7F, a trip that it has won twice over, has a decent jockey in Franny Norton on top and if anywhere near back to its best it could just surprise today.....It's a massive 'if' and we would have preferred to have seen a bit more encouragement in the last few runs but I suppose that is why it is 20/1?
Elsewhere there were one or two others which looked a little short but the shape of the races was not very good and it was an easy decision to leave them alone.
One of us will be back on tomorrow and hopefully we can build on the results of the last two Saturdays!!!!
All the best if you decide to play!

Hi Nig,
Not "well done" enough mate.
We liked All The Nines at Hamilton as well. We didn't put it up as we didn't want to bet each way in a seven runner race, so we let it run and of course it won at 4/1!
Then of course we were considering backing Magnitude at 20/1 and decided against it. What happens? It runs on really well to be placed having been punted in to 10/1 at the off.
So we could have made a few quid today but at least we know the form study and analysis continues to be accurate more often than not. Let's hope we get it right at the weekend.
Cheers
Mick.
