Smaller race but Bigger Bucks!
ASCOT 3.05 ... DUC DE REGNIERE @ 33/1
Only 5 times out the places from 20 outings winning 8 starts with a 40% overall winning strike rate.
Last 3 hurdles runs behind (174 rated Big Bucks) in Group races and finished a 3 length 2nd to that rival in the 2010 Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury.
Reverts to Chasing in this Listed event off only 5lb higher than last win at Cheltenham in spring of 2010 when winning his last 3 runs over the larger obstacles.
Has won over hurdles @ 3 miles so this step up in trip over fences not an insurmountable task and is 4 from 6 Chasing.
Given his overall profile I think the 33/1 on offer is too big to ignore and worthy of a E/W investment at least.
Well capable of landing this off this mark if recent run over hurdles, again behind Big Bucks in Newbury's Long Distance Hurdle on 1st run for Tom Symonds has blown away the cobwebs "

Have a Fling
Doncaster 4.10 ... Northern Fling @ 14/1
Northern Fling's only other run here at 7fl was for Dandy Nicholls back in 2009 when running in a Class2 h/cap off 15lb higher than today.
Has won here off 23lb higher, (albeit in a class2 sprint for horses rated 86 to 96) from 4 runs at Doncaster, but has been running well for Jim Goldie since joining the yard after being stepped up from sprint distances.
He drops into this grade 5 for the first ever time, yet with his jockey's 5lb claim is only 2lb off bottom weight today and off his lowest mark since handicapping.
Jason Hart has won 2 from 11 in the last fortnight (18% win strike rate) and with either winning/placed on around 30% of all rides this season should be losing a couple more pounds of his claim sooner, rather than later.
Off his reduced mark, Northern Fling should be capable of winning this final flat turf handicap of the season.
