Young stayer has plenty of scope to achieve more success
No. 5
Dino Boy
1.05 Wincanton
1pt win at 11-2 generallyDino Boy proved no match for Sandown's £100k veterans' handicap chase favourite Jepeck on his second and final start over hurdles in November, but he showed staying chasing was his game when getting up to score close home at Wetherby in December.
It's true he was fortunate to bag his first win as favourite Cash To Ash came down when holding a three-length lead at the last, but he wouldn't have been beaten much further than that and the unlucky loser has franked the form since.
Cash The Ash reappeared two weeks later off a 5lb-higher mark and won unchallenged by ten lengths at Newcastle. He has since been put up another 8lb, so in the light of that a 2lb rise for Dino Boy looks perfectly fair.
