1pt each-wayNOT many punters like horses who make a habit of finishing second, but had won five of 11 hurdles starts before switching his attentions to the Flat and I think he has a cracking chance of getting in the money in the Betfred Cesarewitch (3.40) at Newmarket.
Ian Williams has a shorter-priced contender in Northumberland Plate consolation winner London Prize, but Byron Flyer has improved with each of his four second places in handicaps since June and he’s 3lb well in having run Time To Study to a head in the Mallard at Doncaster last time.
The winner might be younger and open to more progress, but he needs to prove he’s as happy on quickening ground and on Newmarket’s undulations, while he’s also 4lb worse off and a much shorter price.
