The panel of Kate Tracey, Sam Boswell and Declan Rix paid specific consideration to the bet365 Handicap Chase (2.00pm), ran over two miles and 5 furlongs on the Berkshire observe – dwell on Sky Sports activities Racing.
Vincenzo and Unhealthy are presently in the direction of the top of the market, adopted by Scarface, Etalon and Hitman.
Declan Rix…
“It looks a really good opportunity for Vincenzo. I think four of the horses in here are double figures in terms of age, so he’s not exactly taking on really progressive sorts. We know where we are with a lot of these horses.
“Unhealthy might be superb and he might be very unhealthy, he in all probability desires higher floor and a return to Kempton. Scarface additionally has a bridesmaid tag whereas Etalon was superb final day out at Ascot however steps up in journey right here. I at all times wish to tackle favourites nevertheless it appears to be like a extremely good alternative for Vincenzo. He appears to be like to be changing into extra the complete package deal. He was fairly a weak horse early in his profession and it is taken a little bit of time for him to strengthen up.
“What else has taken a little bit of time is his leaping, he has been a little bit of a gradual learner particularly when getting in deep. He has a little bit of a behavior of lugging and going left, which would not be ultimate round Ascot – particularly on a few of these downhill fences. He is had a great run within the Paddy Energy behind Panic Assault – type franked – and has had a great run behind Glengouly within the December Gold Cup.
“What I would say is 2/1 is as short as I’d want to go, and I’d be hoping to get 3/1 if I was being greedy.”
Sam Boswell…
“It is a good race this. Dec has made a terrific case for the favorite, however I used to be looking for an each-way angle to the race. On the costs I am undecided Hitman goes to win it for me – and sure his win fee is poor – however he at all times threatens to provide. He was second right here 12 months in the past and folks will level to Harry Cobden getting onto Neon Moon for this weekend, however Hitman tends to be ridden by Freddie Gingell, who appears to hit it off with him.
“What are we looking at this season? He was a winner up at Aintree on seasonal reappearance – you can’t crab that with Master Chewy in second. He then went to Huntingdon and wasn’t too far behind Djelo and Edwardstone. I’ll have a play on him.
“I am going to additionally contact on Neon Moon. David Pipe – his most worthwhile observe in the event you again him blind is Ascot (+£44 to a £1 stake). Harry Cobden rides and he has a extremely good file when teaming up with David Pipe. The one factor I would be involved about is the bottom, if it was good to gentle I would be throughout Neon Moon. I am going to have a small saver on him.”
Kate Tracey…
“I will go for Scarface. I simply do not belief Vincenzo or Unhealthy on the costs, and Scarface [by comparison] appears to be like like a stable proposition. He was crushed by Etalon final day out (over 2m3f) however was staying on in the direction of the tip.
“Scarface will be much more suited by the extra two furlongs he’ll be getting here. He has a good Ascot record which will hopefully come to the fore. In that run last time out he had the blinkers swapped for his regular cheekpieces and it was good to see him rebounding from the Newbury effort prior.
“He holds no secrets and techniques from the handicapper and has really been given a 1lb rise for that however he likes the observe, is within the combine and once we discuss stable propositions – there’s not quite a lot of them on this race. I hope that Scarface will present his consistency.”
