15:35 Ascot

This is fiercely competitive as you’d expect but I do like ALTOBELLI against the favourite. I thought he was a big eye-catcher chasing home Knickerbockerglory on seasonal reappearance over C&D last month and with that under his belt off just a 1lb higher mark he should be going close. He remains completely unexposed and could be a horse to keep on the right side of today and going forward as well. He’ll likely be ridden quietly along with the fav Iberico Lord so it wouldn’t surprise me if they were the pair who come through late to fight it out. Of the rest top-weight Hansard showed a good attitude to beat Bad at Newbury and is another one who shouldn’t be ruled out.
Altobelli - 1pt
