Against our preview

Our best selection Roman Spring won ✓. The preview's case held up on the day. Valadero, one of the others we flagged, finished 4th. Stock Market, one of the others we flagged, finished 5th.

What stood out

  • The shortest-priced runner, Valadero (3/1), finished 4th.
  • Bessie Wallis finished 2nd at 28/1 – a big price for a placed horse.
  • Roman Spring won off a mark of 54 (5th highest-rated of 11); the handicapper will usually raise that.
  • The winner's recent figures were 2116, so it came in with winning form.
  • A tight finish – little separated the first two.

Note for next time

  • Bessie Wallis – 2nd, beaten only 0.3 lengths at 28/1. Worth a look next time under similar conditions (6f, good).
  • Valadero – beaten as the shortest price. Don't assume it bounces straight back; look for a reason (ground, trip, draw) first.
