4 selections today

2.45 Ascot Piraya 2 pt 8/1 Ladbrokes

Was at his best during this time last year, and with his stable going well he could be extremely well handicapped if anywhere near his best.

3.20 Ascot Ballycarney 2pt 10/1 Ladbrokes

Progressive last year, and shaped reasonably well on his return to action last time.  I want to take the favourite on, as I would do with any 10 year old off a career high mark.  10/1 looks too big .

3.55 Ascot Featherbed Lane 2pt 5/1 general

With all due respect to Anabel Murphy, I would expect this horse to improve this year for the switch to the Phillip Hobbs yard.  The favourite is well handicapped on his performance at Cheltenham last week, but conditions are totally different today and he is plenty short enough at 6/4.  With the exception of Pantxoa, the rest of the opposition look moderate.

4.35 Kempton Blue Deer 2pt 12/1 general

Made all to win a handicap off this mark earlier in the year for Mick Channon.  Has had an "interesting" ride on all 3 runs for his current connections.  Now back down in grade, off a mark we know he can win off, I would not be surprised to see him sit closer to the early pace and go very well today.
