Another Day Out
The main play combines fair-price edge, suitability for conditions, and enough confidence to justify involvement.
- Today’s trip looks ideal
- Recent form profile is a major positive
- Ground conditions suit the selection
- Current price still underrates the chance
Why The Favourite Can Be Opposed
The market still matters, but the aim is to find where price and reality have drifted apart.
- Market efficiency is running at 32%, so edge is still available if the reasoning is specific enough.
- Available race evidence is 85% complete.

Won small-field maiden point last spring and showed some promise in maiden/novice hurdles this year; fell mid-race on recent handicap hurdle debut but remains unexposed under rules and Max Comley is evidently keen to switch her to chasing.
Three-time chase winner (once over C&D); lost her way over fences during the winter but battled well for narrow hurdle win here (3m1f, good; front pair well clear) in March and reverts to this code on a good mark.
Three-time chase winner (2m4f-3m1f) on good ground for Dan Skelton in spring 2025; generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn, including when back on a sound surface for last two starts, but has become too well handicapped to rule out.
1-10 over fences, the win gained on last season's reappearance at Ludlow (3m, good; Another Day Out second) in October; not in same form again since but now 2lb below that mark, and might be boosted by new cheekpieces.
