'I thought it more likely he would be odds on than 5-2'

Allmankind
1.50 Sandown
2pts win at 5-2 generally

A 5-2 winner is unlikely to put a tipster's name in lights, but that is not important. We are employed to find the most out-of-whack prices, wherever they may sit on the scale. No price stands out to me today like Allmankind in the Henry VIII Novices' Chase.

The money has come for Hitman and if all you have done is read the result and in-running comments from his Ffos Las win then you might be tempted to back him for the Arkle. However, the chances are the horses he beat that day collaborated in their own downfall. Most either jumped terribly or did not go in Ffos Las' uniquely deep ground. Watch the race and you can start to see why that performance seems too good to be true.
