Act Of Violence (16:12 Leicester — Pattinson Auction Winning Bid Handicap, Class 5, 6f)
A W Carroll’s gelding, ridden again by S De Sousa. Beaten three-quarters of a length as favourite over the minimum trip last time at this course, and now steps back up to 6f, the trip he’s won at three times. Draw 4 carries a solid positive bias today. Worth flagging that neither trainer nor jockey are among the form of the moment right now, but the horse himself is racing well and the step back up plays to his strengths.
Verdict: Back to win — proven at the trip, in good form himself, and stepping back up to his best distance. 🏇
