Ascot Tomorrow - Bonus Post

I'm unable to post full previews, but there are 2 horses I like in the 2 Graded events at Ascot tomorrow, including a fascinating favourite in the Grade 2 Novice's Chase (2.10).

Mitie Kennel Gate Novices' Hurdle (1.35) - Kid Cassidy looked like a real prospect at a very high grade when romping home at Newbury, but TOUBAB has achieved more on his three UK runs and should prove very hard to beat tomorrow. Iolith, a decent horse on the Flat in Germany, came good on his reappearance at Kempton and Frascati Park should prove tough to pass.


totepool Noel Novices' Chase (2.10) - A very interesting race. West With The Wind is progressive and has had a break but has only been winning summer handicaps before this; Bouggler is seen as a very smart prospect for chasing, but had to work very hard over this trip to win last time and while he should show up better, this race is altogether tougher; Cois Farraig had the fortune of both Spirit River falling and Celestial Halo running way below par last time, and Harry Tricker didn't even win his race last time.

All this leads me to SURFING, who was better than the bare result in a Grade 3 at Auteuli last time out and was a triple winner in France before that. There are possible jumping worries (long Run still can't jump) but he's a fascinating prospect and has a very good opportunity.
