Morning folks
The draw has been a major, major factor at this meeting over the past 10 years with low draws dominating. We’ve not had the rub of the green/even luck with draws over the course of this flat season, the weather no doubt playing it’s part. Will that be the case again at Ascot tomorrow? I will probably lean that way.
The big 1mile handicap (my forte’s usually) is a massive case in point with NO horse winning from stall 10 or lower in the pat 10 years (Shelir won from 11 but there were 2 reserve non runners drawn low) so that being said, I have had a good look and with Akkadian Thunder (who I like a lot) a reserve unlikely to get a run plus drawn 15, I have played the best race of the day for me as below.
More to follow later.
