PYLEDRIVER – 3.00pm ASCOT

WIN BET ADVISED AT 14/1 AVAILABLE WITH ALL THE FOLLOWING BOOKMAKERS…

The Aidan O’Brien trained 3 year old colt Mogul brings the best form in to the race but there are unknowns/doubts about him so I wouldn’t be backing him at odds-on. He is stepping up 4 furlongs in trip today so will he stay? Also, he was well beaten on his first run last year so may just need the run. His trainer has said, “we would have liked to have him out before now” & “this will tell us whether he sees out the mile and a half”. So, with that said, the next question is what do we oppose him with? None of the other 5 can be safely ruled out. Mohican Heights is unbeaten but also steps up 4 furlongs in trip and doesn’t have a recent run under his belt while Papa Power (tipped by the Racing Post) may just need the run with his only defeat to date coming on last year’s debut. I can see Aidan’s second string, Arthur’s Kingdom, going well with Frankie Dettori an excellent first time booking and he will stay the trip on ground which suits but the tentative selection is Pyledriver who has the benefit of a run 13 days ago, has already beaten the re-opposing Sound Of Cannons off level weights, and could well improve for today’s extra 2 furlongs in trip with Group 1 winning 1m4f form in his pedigree. I don’t like to tip each way in 6-runner races so a win bet is advised at 14/1. Good luck!
