Struggling to find any bets this week ....I've rated about 6 races but all too messy until this race finally popped up 

320 ascot  mile 

Wizard of eye  9.0 12/1 74 62 64 

Perotto   8.8  5/2  89 68 63 

Escobar   8.7  15/2  55 80 61 

Not much in it at top but I think this hinges on perotto.....wizard of eye beat perotto 1/4 length ...4 lengths behind johan which is solid form .....wizard is 3lb better off saturday yet is 12/1? ....strange ?....escobar missed the break   last time but is one of those horses that just pops up from time to time and again he's 3 x price of fav ......Add to that perotto was ridden by Ryan Moore lto and is ridden by some random jockey saturday and the prices of the other 2 suddenly look great value ....as I can't find many bets I like I'll try 10pt wins wizard and escobar and hope for a bit of luck on day 

10pt wins escobar and wizard of eye 15/2 and 12/1

A bit of a rubbish weekend with the Shergar Cup. Not much going on until the York Ebor meeting.
