Veteran worth chancing dropped to very low mark

No. 17
Off Art
2.45 Thirsk
Back each-way at -1 generallyThere are obvious risks with a horse who has lost his form, but Off Art has been a really good handicapper and was third off a mark of 95 in a competitive heat as recently as last April and second off 94 in June.

His slide down the ratings has been fairly rapid since and he runs off just 72 today after a down-the-field effort at Doncaster last month.

That was a poor run, but he'd shown promise when a close fifth at Pontefract on his return and, as he has run two fine races from three starts at Thisk, he's worth risking at a big price. He has a fair draw in stall five too.
