Ascot Wednesday Hunt Cup

5.0

Astro King 9/1 hills/365 8/1 ppower/sportsbook 7 places generally 15/2 hills 6 places 7/1 365 8 places

Astro King was runner up in this last season to Real World now rated 118 had to give it 7 pound beaten 4 3/4ls obviously had no chance looking back,Astro Kings still gone up in the weights despite not winning since followed up with a 3rd at York off 102 and is on that mark having finished 26/27 at Newmarket and then on reappearence only 9/15 in the Thirsk Hunt Cup..Never got a run in that race near finish and wouldv'e been second although the form of that race nowhere near good enough to win this the run was respectable,there's not loads of c/d form in wednesdays race quite unusual for a specialists track and Astro King can't really say well handicapped 4 pound higher than last years second but will prefer the ground quick as long as not overwatered similar to last years ground looking at the forecast..The improvers in this race don't have any track form yet and some have not been on fast ground,as long as the ground is genuine gd/gdfm and the draws not a disadvantage then no reason to see a respectable run..Will have another look when the decs are up but this might go off a silly price if it gets what looks an advantageous draw ,certainly can't see it being 8-9/1 on the day.
