Another Towcester 270m sprint where the clock has consistently told the truer story than the ratings — speed rank one wins nearly one in four here, well clear of the top-rated dog's one in five. Coolavanny Steve owns the fastest recorded time in this field and won last time out at this exact course, distance and grade, yet the model's own ranking has him last in the field — a clear case where the raw pace and recent form matter more than the underlying rating. Matts Eunice, from the second-best trap in this grade, gives him the closest thing to a workmanlike danger. The real curiosity is Peacock Express, who steps down from open-race company at a completely different track and much longer trip after a four-month absence — his figures dwarf everything else here, but there's no evidence at all of how that translates to a sharp 270m dash at Towcester.
