Addeybb tends to be pigeon-holed as a mudlark but it is worth giving him the chance to prove he is a top-class competitor
To judge by Tuesday’s race times, this week’s rain has had only a limited effect on the ground but more is forecast from lunchtime today, setting a poser for punters. Addeybb (3.00) tends to be pigeon-holed as a mudlark but it may be worth giving him the chance to prove he has become a top-class competitor in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes.
It was only a Listed race that he won over this course and distance last summer but there was some top-class form represented by the three that followed him home. The fitting of cheekpieces since that day has helped him and he won nearly £1m in prize money in Australia during the spring.
