Wolver 5.00 Grassmere
It was either Grassmer or Decoration Of War for me in this Amateur Riders event, but even with several issues attached, the former is around 30+ against 3.8 for the latter.
Grassmere appears likely to finish down the field here, being a 44 rated dog, ungenuine, 2lb out of the h/cap and off a lay off.
My rays of hope is current trainer form appears to be a positive. Even for a trainer with little ammunition, last years tally of 6 winners was pretty desperate, but he has picked up 3 races with 2 horses since 20th December.
The horse put in some reasonable C7 grade runs during the bad period, were there were some unfortunate runs even though lack of pace was an obvious factor. Track conditions should suit with only win coming at Chelmsford over 10f.
The final kicker is purely on account of HRB; the trainer has a decent record with these Amateur races and also with jocks that have never previously ridden a winner.
C/P's are back on and the only time he previously tried them he was down the field, but it was fair race for grade and it was one of the mentioned "interference" races.
Looks a grotty race, so taking a chance with the outsider.
