Tracked leader from after 3rd, reached for 8th, challenged after 3 out, soon ridden, close 3rd but held when fell 2 out (op 10/3 tchd 7/2) P/L -2pts(£20)
Hi Wynne, just to prove somebody is interested in your tips and takes notice.... Spanish Optimist isn't at Wincanton he's running in the 1.20 at Market Rasen today. Looking at his form I think you'd have to be a bit of an optimist to back him today, made worse thanks to the field of 7, so only paying 2 places. That said, I see the Sporting Life tipster has picked it. Ever the optimist, I'm on it ew. Good Luck! Posted by TheDart
