Badenscoth – runs at Ascot
BADENSCOTH is a big drifter in the opener at Ascot, a mile handicap due off at 1.55pm and is the 14/1 fifth favourite of the sextet.
This is a little surprising given the rain which has been falling this morning turning the ground to Good to Soft. Admittedly, he would prefer it even softer but if the rain has got into the ground by off time, the seven-times winner could make his presence felt under George Downing in what is admittedly a tricky race to predict. Tulfaris and Grove Ferry are two of the main dangers in a fascinating contest.
