2m1f (2m172y) BetMGM Clarence House Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+)
The rapidly progressive THISTLE ASK is well worth a go here at 10/1. He’s won five in a row and his last two have been in destructive fashion. He goes hard from the front and jumps brilliantly, so it didn’t really matter what weight he carried in handicaps the last twice as it certainly wasn’t weight that beat his opponents. Upped to Grade 1 level, he looks like he’ll be competitive against a declining Jonbon and the unreliable Gidleigh Park. Il Etait Temps will be difficult to beat but if Thistle Ask can put pressure on his jumping by making all, you never know what can happen at this trip.
1pt win Thistle Ask @10/1, 15:30 Ascot, Saturday
