Ascot Race 1 - Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
MILITARY CODE (1) looked a lovely prospect making a successful debut at Newmarket (Rowley) 23 days ago. Charlie Appleby saddled both Guineas winners last weekend and this colt is selected to remain unbeaten. All six of the challengers are yet to face the track so a market check is advised. Of the newcomers CELESTIAL KING (5) could prove the main danger on paper. The Mehmas colt OLD IS GOLD (6) has an attractive profile for top connections. BASSENTHWAITE (4) also warrants consideration.
