Flying in the face of adversity

I might be flying in the face of adversity suggesting that a horse that has a form line of 42232 from its 5 races career is a likely candidate for the winners enclosure today at Lingfield Park. Add to the mix that there are 5 un-raced 2yo in the field of 9 perhaps taking too small a price would not be wise.

While recording 4223 over 5 furlongs it always appeared that COCKNEY BOB needed further as he was always finishing races well. Unfortunately when tried over 6f for the first time, last time out he gave the pace setting Talksalot to much rope but stayed on well to finish second by 1 length.

With what looked to be one of the key protagonists withdrawn from the race this could be the golden opportunity for COCKNEY BOB and taking an in-running price shortly after the off looks to be the most favourable play.
