I wanted to get a look nice and early on the big handicap hurdle at Ascot next Saturday - fail to prepare, prepare to fail and so forth.

Loads of horses and form to get through, though at this stage the one sticking out at me is Alan King's Isolate.

To begin with I didn't think he'd make the cut off a mark of 128. However, I see Not So Sleepy won off a mark of 127 last season. There were just sixteen runners that day.

The maximum amount that can run next Saturday is 21, so it looks to me like Isolate could just sneak in?

He's totally unexposed over hurdles, having won his novice hurdles well. He could be the best handicapped horse in the race.

I'm going to wait until Monday to see the entries.

If I backed him on Monday evening anti-post at least I know so long as Alan King confirms him and/or if he is balloted out I'd get my money back.

I think he will sneak in there yet though.

If I can take 16's Monday evening I'll be happy.
