The first event of the afternoon on ITV from Musselburgh is the Veteran's Handicap Chase over 2m6f and the value looks to be the Richard Hobson trained Valadom.
A model of consistency this 13 year old wheres his heart on his sleeve and always gives his running and although knocking on the door of late has not won since November 2020, leaving him on a favourable mark.
Last seen winning at Newcastle over 2m4f, He has since placed in four events and ran well in another without hitting the frame.
Racing twice this term, he finished third in a Handicap Chase at Sandown over three miles and then last time out in heavy ground just got tired and tailed off into fifth.
Now running off the same mark of his last win and back on good ground, the veteran has plenty in his favour.
