Represents Roger Varian whose stable are in good form. They had a fairly well supported second time two year old winner for this jockey at Kempton the other day and Duroble Man's pedigree suggests he will enjoy the softer ground at Yarmouth today so I expect an improved performance. He was also keen first time out and there is speed on the dams side of his pedigree so the step back to seven furlongs should be in his favour despite the stamina index 10.7 of his sire Manduro. This does look a hot maiden but neither of the newcomers have been particularly well supported and there is a good chance the favourite is no longer progressive. 12/1+ looks very fair each-way.
5.15 Ascot Signor Sassi 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 10/1 (Bet 365, Totesport, Betfred, independents, guaranteed, 10/1 generally)
Only had a piece of work when easily beating Saloomy at Yarmouth last time and with some soft ground influence on the dams side of the pedigree, and his sire Acclamation doing well with runners on all types of ground, the selection, he should enjoy prevailing conditions at Ascot today. He won despite the ground at Yarmouth in my view and the market seems to have over looked that he runs off OR83 today despite posting an RPR of 91 when winning, leaving him around 8lb well in with the handicapper. He runs with a featherweight on his back of 8-3 and to my mind looks the best handicapped of these despite that not being my main concern in sprints. His run style looks well suited to Ascot (tends to favour strong travelling hold up types) and he looks around three points overpriced in my view - I make him more like a 7/1 shot here.
Profit & loss: day: -4.20 / month: +10.20 / year: -36.41
