San 1.50 Grapevine 20/1 - This one has now drifted out to qualify but that in itself is a worry as it is also considerably longer at betfair. He was a 90 horse on the Flat so should really be a 132 hurdler but gets in here off 118. The notion that he could be a 130+ hurdler is backed up by his most recent run in which he was backed into 7/4f to beat a 129-rated opponent. That was his third run over hurdles, qualifying him for a handicap mark, but those three runs turned out to be quiet ones, telling us little about his ability. He also took in a jumpers’ bumper in which he hacked up but that race wouldn’t count for a handicap assessment so in some respects Hendo has let us see that the horse can run.
