Waldkonig has what it takes to win the Derby

WITH no sign of live racing in sight, it is well worth our while to scour the ante-post markets to see if we can find some value, both short and long term.

Next week, I shall post some horses to follow for the first half of the jumps’ season for races like the Betfair Chase, Ladbrokes Trophy and King George.

This week, I am going to start with a classic player who didn’t make my recent three-year-old preview, only because he has a range of distances which could suit.
