Caspar Fownes' clever use of Matthew Chadwick's valuable claim looks set to again reap rewards when the pair team up with honest Whiplash in the final leg of Wednesday night's Triple Trio at Happy Valley. Fownes has only used Chadwick's services on nine occasions, but the results have been spectacular with the boom apprentice booting home three winners and a further four placegetters.
While it is over a year since Whiplash has troubled the judge, his recent efforts have been sound, and it's noticeable in his formline that this is the time of the year he shines. He performed with merit against quality opposition behind Sunrise three starts back, came up painfully short behind Toy Story after looking the winner on May 13, before finishing a close-up third to Fortune Haven when fronting up eight days later.
The form from that event has subsequently been strengthened with the runner-up, Viva Fighter, returning to his best at his next outing, and connections received an added bonus when Whiplash came up with the ideal draw of gate three. He should land in an ideal spot on the back of the speed and he won't get a better opportunity to notch his fifth success. His clear danger, and an attractivedouble banker, is the John Size-trained Lasker.
