Just as yesterday we took on a favourite in the closing bumper and got another result. Grabtheglory was beaten out of sight by Royal Guardsman, who is from the same stable as Cue Card, Champion Bumber Winner.
Laying short priced horses in bumpers is a profitable strategy, the market makes the horse with the best form favourite, but ofthen that is moderate and with so many unexposed horses from good yards in the line up 3.1 this morning, and an SP of 6/4 was well worth takimg on. QED;
1st 11 Royal Guardsman (IRE) 15-2
2nd 5 Grabtheglory (IRE) 6-4 F
3rd 4 Gores Island (IRE) 9-2
