Belinksy is dangerously well treated at the moment and has to be of serious interest at 10/1 in the 5.10 at Leicester.
The gelding has failed to score since May 2010 when trained by Nigel Tinkler, but that win came off a mark of 70 and her is now down to just 59.
That gives him a huge chance from a handicapping perspective, and he has shown enough sparkle in his six runs this season to suggest that he could be ready to go in again at a nice price.
The first of those runs came at York (off a mark of 63), where he raced prominently for much of the 6f journey before being unable to find any extra inside the last and weakened to finish 5th of 11 to Toby Tyler.
Although beaten just over 7 lengths he was not knocked about once his chance had gone and ran better than the result suggests.
The form of that race looks solid in the context of this contest as the winner has gone on to finish a solid fourth in a better race at Pontefract, the runner-up Hotham has subsequently won at Thirsk, and the fourth home Green Park has won since under a big weight at Musselburgh where he beat the bang in form Blown It.
Belinsky then again caught the eye when showing good early pace to finish sixth of 12 to Kings 'N Dreams at Haydock on his latest start - once again being unable to find any extra close home to be beaten 3 3/4 lengths.
He then came a solid third to Mount Hollow and this track off today's mark and a good fourth to Downhill Skier at Thirsk off a mark of 60 - staying on well to suggest that today's 7f trip would suit.
The gelding's last run was also not devoid of promise, when he stayed on well again to finish 7th of 15 to Song Of parkes at Redcar.
Although today will be the first time that he has tackled 7f, the way he has been shaping suggests to me that it may be what he needs to get his head back in front where it matters.
If he does stay - and i think he will - then he looks sure to take all the beating.
At 10/1 he looks great value.
Recommended bet; 2pts each-way Belinsky (10/1 bet365, Boylesports - BOG)
