Each Way Thief: Cash in on Back On The Lash in Cheltenham cross-country
Planet Sport have some tidy each-way picks at Cheltenham on Friday, December 10. Team Keighley may well be Back On The Lash themselves if their cross-country specialist wins again.
It's Friday and people all over the country will be planning on going Back On The Lash. This one is a very sober choice though for Planet Sport's each-way pick. Odds-on fiends look elswhere.
15.00 Cheltenham - Back On The Lash
There were joyous scenes at HQ as Team Keighley roared home Back On The Lash in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase last month.
It was a significant win for Keighley's modest jumps string and a well fought one, coming by a neck from Singing Banjos.
Just a three pounds rise should not be a problem for an animal used to the unique challenge of the cross-country course.
Connections of the seven-year-old will find themselves Back On The Lash if Keighley's King comes in again.
