Phare Isle
looks good value this morning for his chance in the
3.05
at
Ascot
. He travelled powerfully through the race last time out at Kempton right into the home straight and still going well down to two out he was a little awkward and lost momentum to open the door for Fontano. Ultimately he wasn’t quite good enough but his conquerer that day had been screaming out for 3 miles and looked potentially very well handicapped going into the race. Similarly at Cheltenham back in April he caught the eye travelling strongly right down the final 2 flights but then wasn’t quite strong enough in the finish. Todays drop in distance could be a huge benefit given how strongly he has been travelling over 3 miles and with a few question marks flying around this field he looks solid and has a good chance here.
