20/08/22 – 2nd 8/1 – Alfred Boucher – Ian Williams – York

Alfred Boucher appeared to win quite easily the other day and the 4lb penalty just enables him to scrape in on joint bottom-weight today. In the normal run of things you wouldn't choose to come back so soon - I've taken Reshoun out of his race at Chester after his heroics yesterday - but Alfred is a six-year-old in top form and you won't have a better chance of winning 300 grand in one go. It's possible, but logic says it might be a step too far in such a competitive race.
