Horse Whispers
Gawdawpalin was a winner over course and distance here at Ascot just a fortnight ago, and can follow up that win with just a two lb rise as a result of that victory. That win was achieved on similar ground as forecast for Saturday's race, so there is every reason to believe that a modest penalty can be overcome in today's 14:15pm.
This Sylvester Kirk trained four-year-old was recently gelded, and looked immediately back to form subsequently, and comes from good stock as a son of Holy Roman Emperor. His siblings have returned a 13% profit on flat turn outings - a sample of over 900 runs - so there is plenty to like here.
1pt e/w Gawdawpalin at 4/1 with Paddy Power (4 places at 1/5)
