    This is a really tough one at this stage, and the two near the head of the market that appeal are Montregard, and Rivers Corner. Both short enough, snd can’t split them right now

    Beauport is interesting, but he’ll surely go Rendlesham, and although he looks gone, I just wonder if they’re persisting with Gericault Roque for reason. Hard to justify, but I can see me covering him

    I’ll be predictable though, and take the 33’s on Sam Brown. Fourteen now, and I’d rather see him retired, but had a feeling we might see him here, and I’m fairly sure I’ll still get a run for my money. Just ok on only run this season, but I’d prefer him round here anyway

    I’ll keep an eye on Beaufort, but I’m definitely interested in Threeunderthrufive who is six pounds lower than when finishing 2nd in this last year. The 14/1 right seems okay to me.

    Threeunderthrufive is
    20s, this eve, with 365 and Lads.
    And with a Lads account u’d prob get a boost to 22s :good:

    Edit: Yep, just checked,
    22s Lads (with a boost)

    Thanks, Wilts. I’ve got an account with Bet365 and 20/1 is good enough for an EW bet.

    Kings Threshold looks the progressive one in the race to me so I’ll take some of the 7’s with Hills if it’s still there tomorrow.

    That said, it’s a big enough field so I’m not sure of the justification for taking something ante post. Wouldn’t imagine the price of much is going to shorten much after decs.

    Emma Lavelle in the weekender today saying Kings Threshold won’t run on soft.

    I pulled the trigger in the end ante post and now it’s looking unlikely to run!

    Although Ascot does drain quickly and there’s not much rain forecast Friday and Saturday I think the damage may have already been done to the ground.

    Couldn’t back anything in here with someone else’s money now personally. Think it’s a pig awful renewal.

    Jipcot 2nd fav on the back of winning a Mickey Mouse race at Leicester. 50 million year old Sam Brown top weight. Most the field well beaten in lesser grades last time out now making a jump into a higher grade.

    Agree with Tiz, it’s a rather poor renewal. The Lacey pair is as usual well underpriced, Venetia is almost nine weeks without a winner, the Moore’s have yet to find their usual spring form. Others have to many question marks surrounding them.
    I’ll stick with my initial selection: Threeunderthrufive
