One good piece of value around today.
Bally Conn has done really well since joining Martin Hill last season. His form figures since joining Hill are 3,1,1,3,3,1,1,6,6. The first 6 came on his last run last year, in the February, when he was sent off joint favourite for a competitive hurdle but no showed. The fact that he did not appear afterwards for a year suggests there was a problem, or he had simply had enough for the season. The second six represents his recent reappearance, where he ran a really strong race. Settled in rear, he made ground with ease mid race to join the leaders, and he stayed right with them, challenging the well supported winner, until fitness became an issue between the second last and the last. He was not given a hard time once it became obvious he was tired, and he was eventually beaten 35 lengths. Having watched that race, I do not think a mark of 11 is beyond him, indeed I think he can pick up a race or two this year of higher marks than this. If he comes on for his reappearance run 11 days ago, I think he can win today. This race does not look especially competitive and I have to say I think he is very likely to run into a place at least. 18/1 should be taken, we made him an 11/1 shot.
Best Recommendation:
2.30 Exeter Bally Conn, 3pts each-way @ 18/1 (VC Bet, guaranteed)
