Best bet of the 9th Oct

[chris34]

3.40 Ascot Prompter has ran in hot company since his maiden win in august last year and hadnt run with much spice since then but found some form last time out on handicap debut when only 3/4 lengths down on Life and Soul up 2lb for that effort but the very useful Martin Lane takes the ride and claims 3lb so effectively 1lb lighter today and Bell and Lane have teamed up well in these big handicaps and they looked to hold another chance here. 0.5pt e/w prompter 9/1 Hills

Re: Best bet of the 9th Oct 3:40 Ascot: Icon Dream 1pt win 22/1 Victor Chandler Icon Dream may be worth chancing in this open handicap. He has some respectable form in Group races yet is lining up here off 101 with nine stone. With Sadlers Wells and Northern Dancer in his pedigree he will handle both the going and the trip. Icon Dream has shown a questionable attitude, however with all the equipment on today and Jimmy Fortune to make his mind up he could improve. And can't help but think that David Watchman would not travel over unless he thought Icon Dream could run a decent race.
