I took the four way double on the Holly / Watson pair tonight ...Sioux Perfect x Tempus

ASCOT Sat 18/10

R1 TRAWLERMAN should win this one.
R 2 WORDS OF TRUTH one of Appleby's best 2 yo,if not the best.
R 5  Field of Gold normally would be Odds On but there has to be a question mark which only a race will tell.He has also been on the go since early season!
       Best watched.
R 6 OMBUDSMAN good enough but am wary of Calandagan.

Happy Punting  
 

Ditto FAS as per my weekly post 

Good Punting 👍 

British Champions Day – Ascot Saturday

Perhaps the race meeting of the season takes place at Ascot on British Champions Day.

Words of Truth can make it four in a row for Appleby and Buick.

Trawlerman, all heart and courage, should once again take the Stayers’ Race to give William an early double.

The Sprint looks fiercely competitive — Big Mojo is my each-way pick.

The Fillies & Mares division looks deep, so spread your bets in the exotics.

Field of Gold could bounce back to best for Gosden in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

The Big One

The clash between Ombudsman and Delacroix promises to be the highlight of the day, with Calandagan not far behind in the mix.

That said, I’ve no doubt Ombudsman will prove himself the Champion, with his stable even supplementing a pacemaker to guarantee a true test — no excuses.

In the Balmoral, Native Warrior can go close, though it’s worth including a few others in your perms.

This is a very good card with plenty of top horses in action today . My picks :

Race 1 : Trawlerman 
Race 2 : Division 
Race 3: Lazzat
Race 4 : Estrange
Race 5 : Rosallion
Race 6 : Delacroix 
Race 7  : Shout

Good Punting 👍

Jamie Spencer at his best. 
 

Good Week for the Aga Khan stable.The Arc last sunday and the Champion Stakes today.
Think Field of Gold will come out of training.Showed very little.

The  Cheltenham Festival  could undergo its biggest change since a fourth day was added 20 years ago after it emerged early consideration is being given to running jump racing's showpiece fixture from Wednesday to Saturday.There has yet to be any stakeholder discussion around what Cheltenham chief executive Guy Lavender stresses is still nothing more than "a concept", yet the mere acknowledgement thought is being given to such a significant development is sure to stimulate debate.
