Horse Whispers

We were knocking on the door on Monday as Boundsy was beaten by a neck at Pontefract to deny us a 3/1 return. It was a decent run though and we won't lose any sleep over that near miss, and move straight onto Tuesday.

No Such Number is bidding for a fifth straight win, and while he has gone up a fair jump on the weights, this four-year old looks a fine jumper and can handle one more obstacle from the handicapper in our view. All his form has come since switching yards, and in combination with Dale Irving aboard this partnership is yet to taste defeat.

Maurice Barnes is also an expert at preparing horses for this sort of trip - with 12 places and 5 wins from 40 starts over this distance, backers would have a decent long term profit, and it's a similar picture when looking at his record in handicap chases - winning 35 and placing in 73 in his last 214 runs - that would have yielded a win profit of 69pts - not a bad return at all.

No such Number to win the 8:20pm at Stratford at 4/1 (PP, Ladbrokes, Betfair)
