20/06/17 5:00 Ascot - System

1st Yorkidding 12/1 - 70
2nd Thomas Hobson 9/2 - 60
2nd Who Dares Wins 11/2 - 60
3rd High Secret 22/1 - 55

Well this system has done me well in the past, a nice winner with Well Sharp in 2014, and some big priced places since. This year the system points towards Yorkidding being the one, but only by a whisker. As normal all these races are top notch, and this is no exception.

Mark Johnston rarely has runners in this race. His last runner was the ill fated Sir Graham Wade in 2014. Hopefully Yorkidding can change his bad luck.

Yorkidding will love the firmer ground in fact the firmer the better, he gets on well with his jockey, and the track will suit. Mark Johnston is in form as well. So fingers crossed for a big run.

Obviously Thomas Hobson is the one they all need to beat. Willie Mullins is in cracking form and he does well in races like this. He will like the track, he is a winner at this trip and everything looks positive. Only negative is that he needs to prove himself on this going. 1 run and very well beaten in a maiden, but he should go well.

Who Dares Wins is another who will love this course and unlike TH, he will love good-firm. He gets on well with his jockey. However his trainer has had 15 runners in the last 14 days, no winners and only 2 placed. Thats pretty poor.

A horse not on here and worth mentioning is Cleonte who didn't fare too well over 1m 4f on his British Debut, in a Group 2. But in France has won a Listed over 1m 7f, so this extra distance might be interesting. His breeding suggests that the firm conditions will not be an issue. He didnt score high because he doesn't have the British Form/

 My Selection:  Yorkidding 12/1

  1st Mr Vango 7/1 - 55 2nd O'Connell 7/1 - 45 2nd Nassalam 22/1 - 45   3 horses on 40 - Haiti Couleurs, Monbeg Genius and Collectors Item. Mr Vango came clear here the rest were all very close indeed.  Mr Vango is so consistent he will stay all day, he jumps well, the ground will be fine, although he would probably prefer some rain. He has never been to Chepstow, but his stats suggest the track will not be an issue. The only slight negative would be the quick turn around from his last race.  O'Connell  is very similar to Mr Vango in that he stays, the ground in his case is perfect, my only negative is in 7 attempts he has not won going left-handed and only placed once. He definitely prefers right-handed tracks. If that doesn't inconvenience him, he will have a chance. Nassalam has not been the same horse of late. Since winning this race in 2023 he has only completed a race once in 6 tries, with 5 P's next to his name. It does mean because of that he has slipped...
