NAP to roll back the years

Bet of the day lines up in the 4.15pm, a conditional jockeys handicap hurdle fought out over the two-mile four-furlong trip. We have a snappy eight-runner field marked down, but Ossie’s Dancer looks the pick of the bunch.

Martin Smith’s experienced eight-year-old has done punters a favour in the past, winning this race a couple of years ago, and the pointers suggest he’s more than capable of going and doing it again here. Granted, we’ve not seen him in the winner’s enclosure for a while now, last leading them home in 2015, and there’s not an awful lot in his stats since that would encourage backers to rush out and trust the team with their stake money.

Coral offering a big price

What does go in Ossie’s Dancer’s favour however is the leniency of the handicapper here. When taking the prize money in 2015, he was considerably higher in the weights, and if he can find some of his old form, he looks to have been given every chance to roll back the years. This is trainer Martin Smith’s big hope of the afternoon, and they’re obviously coming here to do a job.
