Gunmetal, who was selected as a horse to follow on page 121 of Ahead On The Flat, has enjoyed a terrific season for David Barron. Bought out of Charlie Hills' yard for 47,000gns last Autumn, the grey was rated 88 at the start of 2018 and has won three times for his new connections, including the Great St Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon on Saturday off a mark of 97. Making all the running under Joe Fanning, he stayed on strongly to win by two and three quarters of a length. His three wins this season have been gained at odds of 10/1, 9/2 and 10/1 and the five year old has been a fantastic inclusion for the Significant Sales section of AOTF. Indeed it has been a profitable season for the Maunby based handler with Above The Rest winning the Group 3 Chipchase Stakes and Clon Coulis winning a couple of Listed prizes.
