Southwell new boy can make waves on handicap debut
No. 8
Wilde Oscar
3.50 Southwell
1pt win at 6-1 generallyBasement stuff on a Sunday and while Best Tamayuz is the right favourite in this contest, he is not one for backing at short odds. He has been running well and scored with a bit in hand last time, but he can throw in a bad run after a good one and the last time he won when favourite was in November 2014.
Wilde Oscar is only just starting his racing life and earned his handicap mark with three runs in the space of 33 days, all on Tapeta or Polytrack.
