3.35pm Ascot

Peking Rose

This will take plenty of winning, despite the race cutting up to just seven runners, but we think we have a shot. It will be a much different test to when he won at Carlisle on good ground in October but he did really well to beat experienced rivals there, and I think the form is decent. He showed obvious signs of inexperience before getting the message close home and finishing off his race really well, so hopefully there is plenty more to come from him. He has a really good pedigree too and is related to some good winners, notably Twelve Roses. This looks a very warm race, though.
