I've backed it in a double with Silvianco Conti in the Ascot Hurdle this Saturday at about 32/1 or something. He's up 8lbs from last season and with the mark he's on, he's going to have the majority of the field running from out of the handicap (the weights are compressed between 11-12 and 10-0, so anything that's running off lower than 10-0 in theory, carries 10-0 in practice - if you need a more detailed explanation I'm happy to provide it. Long story short, most tof the field will be carrying more weight than they should). That makes life difficult for the other horses as they have to perform above their normal level to even have a chance, never mind win.
It'll be very interesting to see what happens with the horses out of the handicap though, if the second season chasers have improved considerably over the summer, there could be a handicap snip out there even though they're wrong at the weights. I'll have a better look at each horse at the 5 day stage if you want and do a little blurb on each horse and price the race up properly on Monday or Tuesday, or on Wednesday night during the Cricket.
At this stage, I'd take the 5/1 though. As I can see him going off shorter.
