4.52 Brighton – A PINT OF BEAR (1pt win – 12/1 William Hill, 11- 1 generally)
Nogo’s Dream heads the betting for this 6f handicap, but he’s scored just once from 20 starts and is a 13-race maiden on turf. Throw in a run of five straight second-place finishes since headgear was fitted (he swaps cheekpieces for eyeshields today) and he looks even more opposable. The next two in the betting might also prove vulnerable – Warriors Dream is coming back in trip from 7f and five-time all-weather winner The Waiting Game is 0-6 on grass. I’m going to take a chance on outsider A PINT OF BEAR, who can be forgiven his modest sixth in a 7f handicap here on August 20th as he disputed the lead into the headwind under Dougie Costello. Dion Baker, the one who took him on for the lead, came home fourth that day and has won since. That race was won by Shaw Park, a stablemate of A Pint Of Bear and half his price (5-1 as opposed to 10-1) and it was either an ill-judged ride by Costello or he was simply there to set the race up for the shorter-priced stable representative. A Pint Of Bear is unbeaten in two runs over today’s course and distance and will hopefully sit just in behind likely leader Antiphon under Kieran O’Neill and not get involved in an early-pace war.

When I first became interested in horse racing some stables were…
