15.00 Ascot – Eden Du Houx

Eden Du Houx was a top-class bumper horse, but things haven’t quite gone to plan this year until Chepstow last time when he scored in a novice hurdle contest.

That was his first run back since wind surgery which looks to have worked well.

I thought that was a good race at Chepstow which he won so it gives us a lot of confidence. He’s been given a fair mark on his handicap debut so he has a good chance of following up.

This horse is my best chance of the day.

16.10 Ascot – Taj Badalandabad

We were pleased with Taj Badalandabad two runs ago at Cheltenham. He was slightly disappointing last time at Huntingdon though. We were hampered badly which obviously did not help.

He will need to bounce back but there is no reason why he will not do that. He is a C&D winner and is down to a mark which gives him a good chance.
