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 "
