The Wessex Thingy Hurdle was The Ladbroke Ascot

Im keen on Modus but worried the ground wont be soft enough for him.

Not sure they would run All Set To Go again so quickly, especially with PN having so many options for this? Had a hard enough race giving weight away last weekend.

The betting suggests Diego Du Cahrmil won't be running but I still have high hopes for him and will back him if he does go.

Think this may well be one to wait until the final decs myself. Deciding what JP, PN and Tony Martin are going to do is virtually impossible.

Meet The Legend on at 12/1 ew, allegedly been laid out for this.

Was also thinking Modus was the bet here, even though he is a bit of a dog, but he is very weak in the betting so maybe he isn't going to run.
Will wait till the decs are in.

Surely Sternrubin 16/1 and his love of Ascot makes him a good bet?

With decs today - I have also added MODUS 9/1 main bet for me now.  Glad he is declared. Barry Geraghty on board.

Wolf of Windlesham for me. I backed it place only in the Greatwood and he was just in front and going really well when falling at the second last.

Diego du Charmil jacked up with STD on board. Huge price imo. Forget his last run and he would be near enough fav. Just hoping they have solved whatever went wrong last time. He was backed as if defeat was out of the question that day and is a decent few pounds better off with Modus and Sternrubin.

I've done 1pt Modus @ 11.5 and 0.5pt Brain Power @ 14

Surely Fergall is great EW value at 25/1.  He'll do for me on his Ascot running last time just behind Sternrubin and Modus and better at the weights.

Don't have a view on the race yet but eye catching that David Mullins is coming over to ride Brain Power - he's also booked to ride Hammersly Lake for Henderson and Michael  Buckley earlier on the card.

Anyone know if this is a new owner/retained jockey arrangement?

Shrewd Nick Williams has snapped him up for Reve De Sivola in the Long Walk too - although the ground is unlikely to be soft enough for that one.

Backed Sternrubin each way.

PYROMANIAC 30/1 Win and Place bet

Nicky is the man.

Well done Uncle.  Thought my pick Fergall had nicked for a few seconds as he kicked on going to 2 out.  Easy winner though in the end.
