Fourth of 7 in seller (11/2) at Redcar (8f, soft) 12 days ago. Likely to strip fitter with that reappearance behind him and he's on his last winning mark.

Forecasts

Spiritofthenorth (4/1), Perfect Swiss (9/2), Noble Dawn (13/2), Star Of Valour (7/1), Chosen World (15/2), Ascot Week (8/1), Yukon (9/1), Wightman (12/1), Mount Ararat (12/1), Lexington Warfare (16/1), Mr Strutter (16/1), Ideal Candy (16/1), Kylie Rules (25/1)

Verdict

ASCOT WEEK coped pretty well with deep ground when fourth on reappearance 12 days ago, and likely to strip fitter for that, is an appealing candidate having dropped to his last winning mark. 3-y-os Wightman and Yukon head the opposition with a high draw perhaps no inconvenience if the action unfolds towards the stands' rail.
