Borough Boy Too Big At Nottingham

Top Boy ran a good race on Sunday, and it was just unfortunate that he happened to bump into what looks like a very useful sort on the day. He will be worth backing next time out too, and hopefully he gets in to the Dash at Epsom this week as I think he will have a great chance from the foot of the handicap.
Mr.Shaw had a winner too earlier this week, with Stun Gun romping home on Monday and it looks like his horses are starting to come into form. He has another interesting contender tomorrow at Nottingham in the 2.50, Borough Boy, and a there are a number of reasons to believe he is overpriced at his current odds of 16/1.
Obviously, as mentioned earlier, the recent form of his yard is encouraging, and it is the first of a number of reasons I believe this horse is too big a price. His last couple of runs since returning from his winter break have been very encouraging, especially last time over c&d when the ground would have been plenty quick enough for him. He pulled hard early, had to be switched a couple of times and only really got a clear run when the leaders had flown. To be only beaten less than 4 lengths, considering everything that went wrong during the race, was a very creditable performance in my opinion.
He gets to race off the same mark of 62 today,and the presence of more than one confirmed front runner in the field should ensure he gets the pace he needs to get settled early on. The current going is described as good to soft, which is absolutely perfect for Borough Boy. All his best turf form has come with cut in the ground. He is drawn in stall 5, which shouldn't be an inconvenience as he will surely be held up and dropped in. Hopefully the gaps come at the right time, and if they do I think Borough Boy has an excellent chance of reaching the frame at the generous odds of 16/1.

Selection: 2.50 Nottingham: Borough Boy 16/1 (lads) each way.
