I didn’t get the chance to look at the Ascot 3.50 when writing my preview last night.
Eton Forever gave us an early season tipping success at Doncaster in April and although raised 11 lbs for that success he has been running well since without notching another win. He was 5th in the Royal Hunt Cup and then ran well in second at Doncaster last time out. This drop back to 7 furlongs might suit him. Nasri and Smarty Socks both come here on the back of a win.
Before Nasri’s recent win at Hamilton he had finished 5th in the Stewards Cup. Smarty Socks has been running well all season winning over course and distance last time out. He has winning form on fast ground. One that could go well at a big price is Atlantic Sport trained by Mick Channon. Although he hasn’t won for 3 years he is potentially well handicapped and has an each way chance.
