ASCOT 2.35 - 11 Classic Pursuit @ 16/1 (WH,B365,BV) / 5 Harwoods Volante @ 7/1 (generally)

The 2.35 at Ascot is over 6 furlongs and is a Class 4 race, Course form is important; the draw;

with rain about should be fair to all, we may learn a lot here today for the benefit of tomorrow.

CLASSIC PURUIT is interesting on its from and the fact that it is very much a hold up horse,

needs to find cover and be delivered very late, I've called Jamie Spencer a few unkind names

in my time but he rides this track very well, as he has the ability to wait until the rising ground

in the final furlong, if the horse is good enough, he is the perfect jockey. HARWOODS VOLANTE

is very well handicapped, O'Meara trains and championship jockey contender Jim Crowley

rides, and lets be honest, he will be trying his utmost on this and that factors in.

So we will rely on those today and try to get as many clues for tomorrow as we can in terms

of draw bias and Going at Ascot and Haydock particularly, although at Haydock they use the

inner straight again today but move to the outer one tomorrow, but if it turns soft, there is a huge

draw bias at Haydock on that outer track, which I will share with you in the morning!
