3.15 Nottingham Borough Boy 1pt each-way @ 20/1 (Generally, get guaranteed) AND 1pt win @ Betfair SP
We have to take a bit of a leap of faith with stable form here, but Borough Boy looks worthy of support to small stakes at a big price this afternoon. He is the stable's second string on prices, but I would suggest he has more scope for improvement than stablemate La Sylphe. The selection was brought along slowly as a two year old, typical of many of the Shaw team. He is a big, scopey horse and showed glimmers of ability on numerous occasions, not least on his only good ground turf start at Newcastle when he was ridden very tenderly and travelled well on the surface, never asked to get into contention. He is related to horses who go best on good ground, Osterhase being by far the most noteworthy, and it is no surprise looking at his action that he was well beaten at Chepstow on soft ground last time out. He showed promise in a first time visor, though, and travelled sweetly enough for his jockey before the soft ground horses left him behind. I think a straight five furlongs should be ideal, and if the visor continues to help him at the stalls (has been slowly away) he has already shown enough to suggest he is better than a mark of OR54. Stall 13/13 might be favourable and he is worth an interest at the prices.
