5 places not 6. May get bigger price later as well or enhanced place terms as the books vie for competition.
More to follow later on
2:25 Newbury
ZINC WHITE – 3/4 Pt EW @ 18/1 boost 5 places William Hill, 16/1 5 places generally
Very impressive 2 runs back at Chester, he beat out of sight Novel Legend who is 2nd fav at time of writing yet a 3rd of the price! And that form has worked out very well.
The Ascot races over 2m 4f+ have been an excellent guide to this but the ground was too quick, he was drawn in the car park in stall 19 but made a nice move on home turn before predictably fading.
Ian Williams is mustard with his stayers, in fact, he has won 2 of the last 3 running’s of this and the icing on the cake is the booking of Jim Crowley (rides this track well and is in cracking form) who was on for both those wins and since 2019 he has ridden 4 winners from ONLY 5 mounts (80% Win Strike rate) which is exceptional by any ones standard!
He does need juice in the ground, but Newbury is forecast rain, and if getting it (fingers crossed) I think his style of racing for this track is ideal and I expect a bold showing from this striking Grey!
