Witch Hunter saved us from a wipeout on Saturday. It’s funny, I was more confident than usual with today’s tips but as often happens when that is the case, most of them ran stinkers. I wasn't too discouraged by Queen Of Mougins though, I think we'll get our money back on her in a fillies' only Listed race. I fancy a couple to run well at double figure odds in Ireland tomorrow, 2024 Naas Ascot Trials Day tips are below.
2.05 – Sole Power Sprint Stakes (Listed)
If she is even 90% fit for her seasonal reappearance, Ano Syra can outrun her odds of 10/1 here. John Feane’s mare came onto my radar last year and we backed her when she placed behind Moss Tucker in the G3 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh last August.
She was only 2.25L behind the
winner, she was a nose behind subsequent G3 winner Go Athletico and she beat
the 112 rated Commanche Falls by almost 2L.
The ground was properly good that day and she flopped the next
twice when there was juice in the ground. The daughter of Kodiac is best on a
sound surface, just like it was when she finished third behind Art Power on her
seasonal reappearance last season at the Curragh in the Greenlands Stakes (6f
gd).
Goes Well Fresh
She won on her return to action as a 3yo too, over 6f on good
ground at Naas. She has run twice here since, fourth on yielding over 6f in
another handicap and then beat 2.75L into fourth in a Listed contest on good
ground (6f)..
I think Aesop’s Fables rating of 111 is a bit generous and
apart from him, I can’t see any other horses that Ano Syra should be afraid of.
This could be the season that Ano Syra finally gets a win at pattern level,
hopefully today is the day. At odds of 10/1, she is the each way selection.
2024 Naas Ascot Trials Day Tip: Ano Syra e/w @ 10/1
4.30 – Royal Ascot Trials Day Handicap (0-95)
Jessica Harrington has been firing in winners left, right
and centre this season and she runs two here. On jockey bookings, it looks like
Raknah is her main hope. Shane Foley rides the daughter of Blue Point but all
her best form is on the all-weather. Her two turf runs have been underwhelming
and I prefer the chances of Going Remote, who pitches up here off a mark of 77.
By Kodiac, this gelding made his handicap debut over C&D
three weeks ago on yielding ground. I’m not too sure that sort of ground suits
him and I’m also hoping he may have needed the run. He is of big interest today on the form of his second start over 7f when he ran a cracker in a Naas maiden
behind Bright Stripes.
Strong Form
Andy Oliver’s charge was getting 4lbs from Going Remote and
he was only 2L behind him and closing at the line. He has since won at Listed
level and is rated 100+. Gesture was third and he’s since won twice on the all
weather off 72 and by 5L off 76. Goal Exceeded in fifth won a maiden next time
out and is now rated mid 80s. Take Me To Church was seventh and she won the
Madrid handicap and is now rated 100.
It was an excellent run by Going Remote and this will be the best ground he has encountered since then. It is a bit concerning that Dusty Foley rides his stablemate but Nathan Crosse is 18/136 when riding for Harrington with an eye catching level stakes profit of +165.46 if you had a quid on every ride.
It looked like a mile would suit when he ran in that 7f
maiden here and a mark of 77 looks workable on that form, so, at 25/1, Going Remote is the e/w
selection.
2024 Naas Ascot Trials Day Tip: Going Remote e/w @ 25/1
(4 places); 0.5pt e/w double with Ano Syra.
