Skelton jolly well worth opposing in competitive handicap

No. 6
Cougar Kid
3.00 Market Rasen
1pt win at 6-1 generally

Dan Skelton is a brilliant trainer getting ever closer to the magical 200 winners for the season, but often lately the prices of his horses have defied reality and his Mabela looks a case in point.

On Racing Post Ratings Mabela, beaten last time by a horse who was tailed off at Haydock yesterday, is some way from the best-handicapped in the race and she could go the way of some of his recent over-bet runners (all five runners yesterday were beaten and four were at odds of 5-2, 7-4, 5-6 and 2-5).
