3:00 Ascot
RUSSET GOLD – 1/2 Pt EW @ 22/1 boost Will Hill, 20/1 generally
4 year old’s have a good record in this and he runs this C & D well. Trainer in good form and I like the jockey booking of Rodriguez. He surely could have stayed up North but he rides this track exceptionally well. In fact, in the past 18 months he has ONLY had 4 rides and his last 2 were a Royal Ascot winner and a narrowly beaten 2nd! It’s a tough race, but he finished in front of old friend Vadream at Newmarket 2 runs back yet is 3 times the price so at big looking odds to me, worth chancing.
