Have been taking it steadily with the jumps season thus far, but I reckon today sees an outstanding bet.
STRONG RESOLVE 3:10, Haydock. 10pts win @ 9/4. This fella lost his way last season, but as a consequence is dangerously well handicapped, some 17lbs lower than when runner-up in the Welsh Grand National in Dec 04. However he made a most encouraging reappearance last month when a narrow second to a well treated rival, the pair well clear. 9/4 represents outstanding value against a field of horses largely handicapped out of things. Showers a predicted at Haydock, the softer the better.
