Layla´s Hero entitled to go close in Free Bet At corbettsports.com Handicap at Chester
Chester’s audience will witness several upsets this weekend, but Layla´s Hero’s first-class show in the Free Bet At corbettsports.com Handicap will be the biggest one.
The odds are not in his favour following a couple of terrible performances in May. However, one needs not to forget his classy work in April this year. Straight after coming back from a long vacation, the 5-year-old started performing decently.
He made his seasonal debut with the runner-up spot in the Download William Hill From The App Store Handicap (Div II) at Doncaster. Despite a lazy start, the then John Quinn-trained was steady in the middle.
He was in a great position to fire, but got bumped in the dying moments. As a result, he missed the glory by three quarters of a length. Just after a few days, he showed another fine performance at Musselburgh.
After making a fine effort at Musselburgh, the son of One Cool Cat went to Leicester, where he was third in the Bet totequadpot Text tote To 89660 Handicap. After three classy acts, he unfortunately lost his rhythm, and faced a couple awful defeats the following
month.
Under the care of new handler Patrick Morris, the bay gelding is returning to action after more than three months. The Dr Marwan Koukash-owned is expected to turn things around with the new trainer.
He is due to face 16 powerful runners in the class 3 contest, which will be run over seven furlongs and 122 yards. According to the plan, the £8,410 event will get started at 14:10 GMT.
Verse Of Love tried to strike hat-trick here yesterday, but failed terribly. Although the David Evans-trained is in good shape, an unlucky loss would have dented his confidence. Bravo Echo is fully pumped after two fresh strikes. So, he should not be written
off.
Layla’s Hero is nowhere among the favourites as far as the odds are concerned. Both Corporal Maddox and Fathsta showed plenty of improvement on their first starts for Patrick Morris, and if the change of stables facilitates a return to form for Layla’s Hero,
he will certainly play a major role today.
