Best From The West: Ascot – 6th May 2023

3 minute read

It is an Ascot meeting on Saturday making it hard to find great value but a recent favourite can do the job.

Two weeks ago we liked Fear The Wind and we see no reason to be jumping off following his impressive win.

William Pike was happy to sit back and wind into it. From there he put a gap in them.

This is a very similar race and yet he will carry the same weight. You can see the same tactics being employed.

Hard not to be following the Daniel & Ben Pearce team given their run of form and with a horse enjoying his racing.

Another stable having a trot at present is the Sean & Jake Casey yard as was highlighted by Dom To Shoot's Northam Stakes victory.

They can win another with No Change who chases a third win for the campaign in the last race.

Even though back in ground from last time, he takes luck out of play by heading onto the speed.

Because he is down in grade to a RTG66+, he is up in weight but really only up 3.5kg.

You'd think he gets control from the start from the low draw and if gaining a couple of cheap sectionals, has to be tough to get past.

Should any of the potential weekend rain arrive, he handles that fine as well.
