Horses To Avoid / Timeform / 29 November 2008 / Leave a comment

Timeform are dab hands at telling you which horses to back but now they dish the dirt on the horses to avoid.

It's coming up to three years since Nevsky Bridge last won a race and although the six-year-old mare's most recent effort confirmed she retains her ability she's not one to be backing in the near future such is her tendency to finish weakly. Indeed, she could have ended her losing run at Sedgefield on Tuesday but completely threw away her chance having led on the bridle two out, headed near the finish by Viscount Rossini in what was a dire race.

Jonjo O'Neill may have his string in fine form at present but one inhabitant at Jackdaws Castle should be left well alone and that is Nostringsattached. Following his good second to Cresswell Ruby at Huntingdon last month, the seven-year-old was sent off favourite at Kempton on Wednesday but once more his attitude got the better of him, folding tamely when pressured between the last two hurdles having travelled powerfully for a long way, in the end beating just a couple home having been disputing things up to that point.
