Hopefully followers backed the two short priced horses I advised yesterday.  Both won well.  Today has some good racing at Ascot, Barney Roy returns to the track at 4.25, he has not ran since 2017.  He has proved in fertile, so has returned to the track after an injury back in 2017.  A new trainer in Charlie Appleby, and new jockey today, he will need to be on his game for this race, I hear he is well forward and working well.  With an 8lb “well in” on ratings, he should win, but Waldisafa and Canvassed are both improving horses, Waldisafa has proven form on turf, he progressed through 2018, winning at Listed level on his last run at Sandown.  Canvassed has won 2-2, at much lower level, both on the all weather surface.  He is well regarded, so this will not be an easy introduction for Barney Roy, he will have to be very close to his rating.  The first race looks like Lady Pauline’s introduction to Ascot, with the Royal meeting as her target in June, she looked very good in her win in Keenland, and her time was exceptional.

I have had a few small bets today, I could not see a stand out priced selection, so fun bets for me today.
