Unexposed handicapper a big price if forgiven one poor run
No. 8
Blue Revelation
4.55 Ascot
1pt each-way at 20-1 generallyThis horse is a risky proposition as he blew out last time and has obviously had his problems, but he has some decent form and some other positives to his name and is a massive price, so I'll happily take a chance.
Fourth in a decent Naas maiden on his sole start at two (winner now rated 107), he was well backed after moving to Paul Webber from Johnny Murtagh and duly won his maiden, more comfortably than the half-length margin suggests, at Lingfield in November.
That race worked out okay as the runner-up has won twice since, the last time quite easily off a mark of 80, which is 2lb higher than Blue Revelation is at the moment.
