Ascot - 3rd Nov

There are some nice races at Ascot and Wetherby tomorrow and the bet of the day is in the three mile handicap chase at the former track where I think Alfie Spinner is weighted to go close. I foolishly backed this horse in the four miler for novices at the Festival where the trip (too far) and the ground (too lively) were against him. The ground will be soft enough tomorrow and off 140 he has a nice handicap in him over this sort of trip. After all, he ran a superb race behind Invictus and RSA winner Bob's Worth over course and distance in February. He may have been slightly flattered by that result as Bob's Worth is a Cheltenham specialist but nevertheless he's ahead of the handicapper without doubt as he goes into open company. He's 2lb wrong in this but has a 3lb claimer onboard.

United House Gold Cup:
Alfie Spinner £50w @ 66/10 (lost)

(+250)
