HAJJAM – 1.30pm YORK
0.5 PTS EACH WAY BET ADVISED AT 20/1 WITH ALL THE FOLLOWING BOOKIES PAYING 5 PLACES…
I liked Hajjam’s last run at Thirsk where he shaped well before finishing 4.75 lengths 8th of 14 from a poor draw out wide in stall 13. He was dropped in leaving the stall then had to come wide running on late on. That was only his second run of the season so hopefully he will now be nearing full fitness. He has only ran here once before a couple of years ago where he showed he handled the track when finishing 2.75 lengths 6th of 16 over C&D in a higher Class race than today. He was sent off 4/1 Favourite in that 16-runner Class 3 handicap and performed well on ground a little to quick for him (officially Good to Firm). The recent rain in the area will have helped his chances and I can see him going well, from a better draw today, looking very well-handicapped having dropped to 12lb below his last winning mark with his jockey taking a useful further 5lb off his back. Each way bet advised at 20/1 in this typically competitive looking big Saturday afternoon handicap. Please try to seek out a bookmaker paying that extra place as insurance never hurts in this type of event. Good luck!
