The all guns blazing front-running tactics adopted by the James Ewart-trained ASCOT DE BRUYERE have been an absolute joy to witness during an otherwise low-key jumps season at Gosforth Park. He clearly adores this testing Tyneside track (3-3) and simply wowed all present when bounding clear to score by 18L over the shorter trip of 2m4f last month. A subsequent 13lb rise in the weights should at the very least check his momentum, but we know from past experience that he stays 3m perfectly well and in truth rates as very difficult to oppose.
