Ascot Best On Breeding Previews - UK Racing Friday 9 July
Ascot 3.00 Urban Poet - very well related by Dynaformer out of the high class producing Mr Prospector mare Preach who is also the dam of leading USA sire Pulpit (AP Indy), this one lightly raced and 2nd up here on the back of failing badly 1st up, run too bad to believe, blinkers go on 1st time which should spark sharp improvement and last season at 2nd career start finished 2l 3rd to Harbinger in the G3 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood, anywhere near that level here and will dispose of this field at good odds, 14/1 prepost, massive value about a horse with scope (only started 7 times) that is proven well above the level required to win here.
Ascot 3.35 Twist Of Silver - real speed pedigree by the Breeders Cup Sprint winner of 2005 Silver Train (Old Trieste) out of the Storm Cat mare Twist Of Faith, looked a high class prospect on debut 3 back destroying a 3 runner field at Newmarket over 5f by 13l, form refs through the btn brigade that day suggest it is up to the level of impressive Exceed And Excel winner Excellebration who defeated another Exceed And Excel colt Belgian Bill by 2l who franked the form in a big way winning its 2nd start by 3l over Jaahiz, this one since tried against stronger (not disgraced when btn 8l by Memory at Ascot last start), back in the right grade now.
Ascot 4.10 Addictive Dream - decent sprinting pedigree by Kheleyf out of the Thatching mare Nottambula (unraced half sister to stakes performed Clinet), this one comes into this having mere 5th career start on the back of making 2 wins from 4 starts when putting good margins through an above average 0-85 6f field at Kempton last start, 2nd home Strictly Dancing (btn 2l) nosed out by Folly Bridge next start for a 24K purse and 5th home Glen Shiel (btn 8l) finished 2l 2nd to Cornus for a 12K purse next start, big franking of the form, more scope to come for this lightly raced sprinter, very good value prepost at 7/2.
Ascot 4.45 Qanoon - strong USA pedigree by Afleet Alex (won Preakness Stakes & Belmont Stakes both by wide margins) out of the G2 USA placed Caerleon mare Solvig who herself is a half sister to 2 other high class stakes performers being Lady Carlock and Swing That Cat, this one was a $600K yearling purchase and drops in class here having 3rd career start after winning by wide margins on debut 2 back at Newmarket over 8f, form franked through btn brigade putting it clearly above the level required to win here and has significant scope for further improvement.
Ascot 5.20 Run For Ede's - strong staying pedigree for this 12f trip by Peintre Celebre out of the well related Rainbow Quest mare Raincloud making this one a half relation to the stakes placed Overshadow, dam herself is a full sister to the high class G2 placed mare Tuning (only started 7 times), this one comes into this 2nd up from a spell with big scope for further improvement for fitness after finishing 2nd Some Sunny Day over 12f at Windsor, last prep looked the good when 1.7l 4th to Munsef for a 24K purse over 12f at Ascot when rated 78, now rated 77 so gets into this superbly weighted, also is a course and distance winner to add another tick to its profile, in this up to its ears, 4/1 prepost is good value.
