In the 2.40pm at Wincanton I
think Consigliere may have a bit in hand even though he’s now a 10yo. He hosed
up by 20 lengths in this same race last year off 136 so has C&D form and a
fortnight later he finished 4 lengths 3rd behind According To Pete in
the Gr2 Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock in heavy ground off his new mark of 145.
He has since run on Good ground twice, then Good To Soft twice (both of which
were at 2m even though his 2 best runs recently have been at 2m4/5f) and has
dropped to a mark of 138. He has another 7lb claimed by Kieron Edgar so looks
to be off a nice mark (lower than his C&D win in race last year given the
claim) and a racing weight of less than 11st is likely to come in handy given
the testing conditions as he steps back up to 2m5f. Pipe (pictured below) likes to have winners
at Wincanton and the yard sponsors (Bathwick Tyres) are again sponsoring
tomorrow’s card.
