A tale of 2 horses who need very specific circumstances to be seen at their best in the Summer Mile at Ascot today…here’s my review for Total Performance Data #Ascot www.totalperformancedata.com/blogs/juddmo...

9/4 about Understudy to win on her debut for Francis-Henri Graffard was worth a play for me 🇫🇷 Finished 2nd in the Ribblesdale for the Gosden team and has been found a very winnable Class 2 for her return with Marie Velon taking off another 1.5 kg to help

Found my angle to back Blue Bolt in the Falmouth later; 4YOs in the Falmouth outperform the market at 1.24 A/E, +£9.13 to £1 at SP. Rises to 1.49 A/E, +£17.88 when LTO Win, 12-3-6 with 4YOs who won at Ascot last time. Blue Bolt recorded better Av, Top and Late Speed than Precise at Ascot.
