Ascot 5.00

 

The very high draw is the only concern I have about the 2 unbeaten favourites in King of Time and Whoputfiftyinyou and we'll play those as bankers in the Placepot Perm.

 

Wanees might just be held back by a 6lbs penalty, Tranquil Night has a penalty and Stall 30 and both Saga and Kay Kay are progressive types who it is hard to leave out altho Saga did blot his copybook a little last time out.

 

At big Odds I think Oneforthegutter is overpriced and I really do fancy a nibble at OH HERBERTS REIGN for Richard Hannon who might run a stormer right down the middle and whose form is far better than the price suggests.

 

I'm most keen though on YONAFIS who has 3 unbeaten AW runs and may be a bit better than a Handicapper in the long term for William Haggas and I think the market may have under-rated the AW form a little. ATRIUM is another who really does look solid, twice a Course and Distance winner and although penalised 7lbs I do think the manner of the win and the fact it was here means it still has scope to improve again and stall 22 could be a nice position depending on any bias middle to higher.
