Fitzdares Is Your Bookmaker For Ascot Handicap
1m 31y
Going: Good to Firm
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneKondratiev Wave was a gutsy winner over this trip at Lingfield and the return to turf is no concern, but a 3lb higher mark is and preference is for THRILL SEEKER. The line just came too soon for him when a half-length third over 7f at Chepstow and he will relish a return to 1m, over which he scored at Kempton in February. Buckingham has gone up 3lb for scoring at Bath by the narrowest of margins and the consistent five-year-old won't give up on the double without a fight.
