Just a couple of starts behind him, going close second time out at Chelmsford over 6f. Well clear of the remainder and a likely winner in waiting at some stage.
66/1 for debut in a Newcastle maiden back in November and never landed any sort of blow, coming home 10th of 13. Today's rivals should prove too good.
Forecasts
Ascot Day (6/5), Things Happen (11/8), Espresso Freddo (5/1), Mimic's Memory (50/1)
Espresso Freddo has been knocking on the door multiple times and is greatly respected for his trainer/jockey combination but he may find that ASCOT DAY keeps him out here. Runner-up at Chelmsford on his second start, he looks likely to have a race like this in his locker with further improvement to come. Things Happen ran second here on New Year's Day and should be in the mix again while the filly Mimic's Memory need a big step forward to trouble this trio.
1. Ascot Day
2. Espresso Freddo
3. Things Happen
