In depth
Verdict
Strong cases can be stated for any number of these so there is an element of hope attached in selecting TANLEY as the one to be on today. Godfrey Street, Efistorm and Came Back are all entitled to support and are worth noting in the betting while Obe One is incredibly well handicapped for his return to the All-Weather. The last named only has a solitary fibresand start to his name though he needs to dramatically improve on that effort if he is going to be a player this afternoon. Came Back has been a hard horse to win with and is not one to trust implicitly. He loves this track but may need at least another furlong these days. Efistorm has also become frustrating and may still need the handicapper to ease off him for a while. He should run his race but may find a few too good. Similar comments apply to Godfrey Street, who won a claimer last time out but will find life a lot tougher under top weight. Therefore, with all things considered, it can pay to look for a consistent type that has shown an ability to handle today's conditions. Tanley fits the bill after a solid run at Great Leighs 19 days ago and he is taken as a solid betting proposition.
