There’s some Yorkshire racing every day of the week this week, so lets see if I can’t find a winner or two.

3.12 Redcar Perfidia looks to have a good chance here but would want bigger odds than 10/3 to get involved. So I’m going to take a chance on Fahey’s FAR AHEAD who despite form figures of 9066000 could have a say here. I’m happy to put a line through the 6000 figures as they were all on the AW this winter and he was beaten so far out of sight he sight I’m suggesting he hated the surface. I’m also willing to scratch his 906 finishes as although they were on the turf, they were also in much better races. So today, he’s contesting a class 6 handicap for the first time off a career low mark (21lbs lower than his best bit of form – 3L 6th at Thirsk) and from box 1 – which if he can get a lead like LTO, could be a big advantage. When I started writing this 15 minutes ago he was 16/1 but has since shortened to 10/1 so that’s what I’ll go with here. I wouldn’t take any shorter, personally. Obviously a big chance he’s just crap, but I’ll take it! FAR AHEAD // 0.5pt E/W @ 10/1 4 places (Paddy Power)
