Jet To Vegas No. 2

Mr Lucas Murphy · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

✓ Top rated ✓ Won last time out ✓ Trainer in form (7/30, 14 days)

Placed 2nd of 5

Jet To Vegas gets the nod at Ascot over 19 furlongs on good ground, rating narrowly ahead of Glynn Brae by a single pound on our figures and 9lb and 21lb clear of The Gray Ghost and Merely A Detail respectively. That slim edge is what we are relying on, so this is a low-confidence call. Glynn Brae is the chief danger and sits right on his heels, while Dance And Glance is only four pounds adrift and The Gray Ghost cannot be written off in a small field. Jet To Vegas is the selection.

6yo, 11-10, OR 136 5441-9

J: Sam Twiston-Davies · T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Glynn Brae won two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, while 21 days since his last outing suggests he's fresh enough, and our rating of 133 ranks him second of five. The main risk is a ninth last time out, plus 164 lb on his back.

35 days

7yo, 11-9, OR 135 686P-1

J: Mr Lucas Murphy (7) · T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Jet To Vegas won last time out and returns after 35 days with experience of both today's trip and going, which makes him the one to beat. A pulled up two starts back is the one blemish, while 163 lb is a stiff burden but he's top-rated on ours.

The Gray Ghost t

27 days

7yo, 10-8, OR 120 4144-2

J: Charlie Price · T: Robbie Llewellyn

The Gray Ghost bounced back to form with a second last time out, and at 27 days since his last run he should be fresh, having run over today's trip and on this going before. The risk is that he carries 148 lb, and a fourth three starts back shows he can be hit and miss.

J: Jonathan Burke · T: Toby Bulgin

Third last time out and a winner two starts back, Merely A Detail has run over today's trip and going, but she's ranked last of five on our figures and carries 145 lb off 114, while 36 days since her last run leaves her little obvious edge.
