3.50 Doncaster Tres Coronas 2pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 20/1 (Bet Victor, guaranteed, 16/1 generally guaranteed)
Tres Coronas is a seven year old now, but seems to have found a new lease of life in big field handicaps over the course of the past couple of years, culminating in a fine third in the Cambridgeshire last September where he finished clear of his side of the field. He remains well treated off a mark of OR96, and seems to have been quite well drawn today given the field came up the centre of the track last year on soft ground. The selection very much caught the eye on his recent reappearance behind Whispering Warrior, failing to get a run at Wolverhampton and not given anything like a hard time in the closing stages. With his handicap mark protected and a good pipe opener behind him, he makes plenty of appeal this afternoon as a horse who seems to thrive in these big field handicaps. He will enjoy the cut in the ground given all but one of his turf wins have come on ground with "soft" in the description, and his assured stamina for this mile trip will be an asset in the closing stages. Expect him to keep galloping when others have cried enough.
Profit & loss: day: -5.00 / month: -71.15 / year: -56.95
