Ascot Race 2 - Injured Jockeys Fund Ambassadors Programme Reynoldstown Novices' Chase (Grade 2) (Gbb Race)
THOMAS MOR (1) performed creditably when second in the G1 Kauto Star Novices Chase over 4800m at Kempton Park most recently. Form is strong and capable of going one spot better. Holds leading claims. THE JUKEBOX KID (3) steps up in grade after a preparatory 2.25L win over course and distance last start with Ben Jones retaining the ride. Serious contender again. In the mix. WESTERN KNIGHT (4) looms as a major player in view of a 2.25L Doncaster success providing latest outing. Warrants serious consideration. CREST OF FORTUNE (2) was sixth in the aforementioned G1 Kauto Star Novices Chase. Drops back in grade and makes appeal.

Last start won by 2.25 len Doncaster on January 23 over 3800m slow track defeating Kap Ouest carrying 73.5kg at $3.50 in a steeplechase. Race before won by a neck Haydock Park on December 3 over 4300m defeating Maximilian carrying 72kg at $2.90 in a steeplechase. Got up for brave win last time out but this is harder. Will have to improve markedly.
