Ascot 5.00

 

There are 30 runners in here and a lot with chances.

 

Hard to leave out Coppice but the price is very short in the context of the race, Clounmacon is a dark horse from Ireland that Sean is sweet on.  Dream Of Love would be a live chance if 100% healthy and fit, Magical Sunset and Foniska were in the short list for a long time too and not easily discounted. If you wanted a real shrapnel e/w at a big price then RICH dropped in trip and running right up the Stands Rail might give you a lot of fun.

 

With enhanced places I'll have a 1/2 point each way on 4 and some shrapnel of a couple of others and RICH if you wish.

 

In order of preference, JACKIE OH was a shade unlucky in the Irish 1000 Guineas and may have a nice high draw and a cracking form chance here, MARKSMAN QUEEN is wholly unexposed for the Gosden team and one we think will be coming right to concert pitch for this and very god market value, GIRL RACER is drawn in Stall 13 and the jockey in cracking form and visually this strong running horse is crying out for a mile and UNLESS finally clicked last time and this strong travelling horse had solid form in some good races prior to that.

 

For some shrapnel, we like CHOISYA up 3 lbs for a Haydock run and a horse overlooked by the market and BRIDESTONES who had an impressive debut win and then very highly tried and often on soft ground, back in what I think is the right level and on far more suitable ground I'll be very disappointed if this one doesn't come right back to form.
