Gordonsville has flattered to deceive once too often...

17:20 Wolverhampton - LAY - Gordonsville (Forecast 2.5)

Today's race is a Class 6 maiden over one-and-a-half miles. Gordonsville is favourite trained by Andrew Balding and ridden by Francis Norton.

Gordonsville is one of the biggest rogues in the game. He is still a maiden after 8 runs and has been a beaten favourite in 4 of those races. Top jockeys including Ryan Moore, Jamie Spencer and Seb Sanders have all tried and failed to get this hound to win and Francis Norton has a tough job on his hands to get this one's head in front for the first time.

Sweet Request is rated just 6 lbs below Gordonsville and is receiving 12 lbs so is 6 lbs well in at the weights and Winning Show could also be up to winning this now, upped markedly in distance.

I will be laying Gordonsville as he lacks any fight, courage or bravery in the face of the enemy and looks destined to remain an eternal maiden.

Today's lay finished first
