Verdict

ANTONY likes it at Ascot, having won a valuable handicap here in the past, and looks about ready to come back to something like that form based on his two starts this season. The handicapper is giving him a real chance too, and this does look a lot easier than taking on the improving Go Conquer, something he's done twice this year already. He can score at the expense of Bally Longford, who has firmly put to bed any notions that shorter suits him best, and Marcilhac, another that looks like he's well on the way back to form.
  1. Antony
