Take a chance on well-treated runner even if track might not suit

I have been steeling myself for having a decent bet on Out Sam this week, but Warren Greatrex's decision to run him at Cheltenham in the Unicoin Group Handicap Chase (1.30) on Friday afternoon rather than Doncaster on Saturday has thrown me a little.

Quite simply, I'm torn between believing he could be one of the best-handicapped horses in training and fearing Cheltenham is not a course that suits him well enough to prove it.

Admittedly the argument for either side is not rock solid, which is probably why the handicapper has him so low in the first place.
