A sad day in racing after seeing Rewilding put a leg down wrong at Ascot and then put down. The King George race was a very muddling affair and its safe to say not one which will live long in the memoery but take nothing away from Nathaniel a truly callsy colt who has a bright future over the trip of a mile quatrer to a mile and a half. Well done John Gosden not only for training the winner but a tremendous explanation he gave to the bbc today after such tragic events.
Race 1 Going European to start!!
Maison-Laffitte 2.40 Eugene Adams Stakes
This Class 1 event at a beautiful track in France is worth a look. The french trainer Dupre always has a few at this meeting each year and is usual in the mix. As the Aga Khan owned Valiyr will be the clear favourite, so what else has a chance?. I'm looking at Hughie Morrison's british trained horse PISCO SOUR at an each way price if all 8 runners go to post. I was very impressed with its win last time out at Ascot over 1 furlong further but showed a good level of speed and class to come out on top. The stable is coming into some great form over the last few weeks of July and Jimmy Fortune in the saddle will not allow a chance like this go to waste, particularly with the nice win pot available. Furthermore PISCO SOUR is held in the highest of regard at the yard particularly as it holds an entry in the Great voltiger next month at York. This horse has every chance!
3.25 Ascot Eagle Rock Handicap 1m 4f
Now to look at this handicap you have to either go for a horse on the upgrade who is stepping up into better company or a horse which is there or there abouts at this level but may have to burden a bigger weight. For me its the latter and I'm going with an each way 11/1 steal on PROMPTER. This horse does genuinely like it around Ascot, the ground and trip will be fine for this Motivator colt. Its not been in the greatest of form recently but I believe Jamie Spencer can land a blow in this type of company.
3.50 Pontefract Pomfret Stakes 1m 4f
Roger Charlton has expressed his belief in CITYSCAPE so much thats he's even stated one of the best if not thee best horse he's ever trained. Now this horse in this company has every chance, running against better animals like Canford Cliffs and losing by 3 lengths or so is a big achievement and he will be a short priced favourite but lump on, this is buying money! CITYSCAPE a quality horse! Wont lose.
Now I'd suggest have an each way treble here.
