7:50 Further Measure (12/1) is down to a lowly 57 from a high of 89 when he arrived from France 3 years ago. His best run was over the C&D at 84.
I know nothing of 7lb claimer J R Lyons and virtually nothing about trainers Murphy and Keady.
What I do know is the horse is effectively carrying 50 with the claimer on board. I thought he ran ok 2 races ago over the mile at Kempton.
On his 5th run for his new yard, if he's actually racing fit, which he should be by now, he could be 2 stone in on the dark side. I've seen many horses with a similar profile win by 10 lengths at a price. Cheers, Sandracer.
