Shadows Lengthen recorded his five-timer yesterday -and his third Southwell win in 6 days - but he had to dig deeper than previous runs to hold off the persistent Stormy Summer by a neck.
Somewhat amazingly, and maybe as a precautionary measure, he was entered again today in Southwells 1.10, but has now been withdrawn.
Surely, Mick Easterby will now give him a Christmas break before stepping him up in Class in the New Year?
My one fancy today is 'Inheritor' in Wolverhamptons 8.50. Brian Smarts gelding ran well here over 7 furlongs to earn a speed figure of 100, just going down by 3/4 of a length to Caprio.
However, the track was favouring the hold-up horses that day, earning a Pace figure of only 36, and Inheritor was close-up to the pace throughout.
Todays race is a drop in class and a step-up in trip to 8 1/2 furlongs, if Laafet goes off in front as expected, Tom Eaves should be able to drop Inheritor in from Box4 before striking late.
At 3/1 at numerous bookies he is worth a bet to hold of the in-form Just Bond and Justcallmehandsome.
