Ascot Race 5 - 1st Class Logistics Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Two-time winner this year SPORTINGSILVERMINE (3) is a smart flat performer. Secured a class two handicap success in the 2400m Old Newton Cup at Newmarket during July and placed second at the Shergar Cup meeting here (2400m). Trainer worth noting. Respect on hurdling debut. BABS (1) bids for a hat-trick gaining a 9L victory in a 3200m maiden hurdle at Worcester before scoring narrowly over 3400m a Newton Abbot novices hurdle six weeks ago. Big claims. NO WAY JAY (2) produced a good fourth in a 3200m Listed jumpers flat race at this track last season and tackles hurdles for the first time making seasonal return. Deserves a market check. Southwell jumpers flat race winner MASTERIUS (4) might feature.

Second-up today. Freshened for 43 days. Fresh up after three months favourite; won by a nose Newton Abbot on September 18 over 3400m defeating Yeld To Call with 73kg at $2.40 in a hurdle. Previously second-up finished fifth of 13 starters at Warwick on May 4 over 3200m, 18 len behind Crystal Days carrying 71kg at $8.50. Fitter again and shapes as one of the main contenders.

Is making a debut in a jumps race. Two back failed to make an impression; finished 11th of 12 starters at Doncaster on September 12 over 2000m, 13 len behind Thunder Run carrying 57kg at $9 and last start finished fourth of 8 runners at Newmarket (Rowley) on October 3 over 2400m, 1.75 len behind Arqoob with 58kg at $10. Key chance on best and expected to measure up.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with finished fourth of 7 starters at Uttoxeter on March 28 over 3200m, 11 len behind Moore Brion carrying 66kg at $29 and before that finished sixth of 10 runners at Kempton Park on March 14 over 3200m, 16 len behind Prince Rupert carrying 70kg at $11. Happy to watch this time.
