🐎 Hamish
🟢Odds: ~ 2.25
🟢Stake: ~ 2u WIN
Reasoning:
Hamish lines up in the Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot with conditions very much to suit. William Haggas’s
veteran thrives on soft ground and has made a career out of producing a relentless late surge when the stamina test is severe. Now a nine-year-old, he has lost none of his enthusiasm, landing both his starts this season with authority and looking every bit as effective as in previous campaigns. A proven Group performer, he also enjoys Ascot’s galloping track and has the perfect opportunity to add further to his already impressive record.
With Al Qareem likely to ensure a solid pace from the front, the set-up should play right into Hamish’s hands. The only slight concern is the small five-runner field, if the fractions are steady, his usual late kick may be harder to unleash. That aside, all the key signs suggest Hamish is once again the horse to beat under ideal conditions.
