George Dryden has still got the moves

THE huge betting race of the day is the Victoria Cup over seven furlongs at Ascot with a massive field of 27 set to go to post at 4.00 and I fancy one of the bottom weights, NICHOLAS T could have a huge say in the outcome.

He was right out the back when turning for home last Saturday in the Thirsk Hunt Cup and absolutely motored down the home stretch to finish third.

Of course this is a much better contest with a lot more strength in depth, but he is only 2lbs higher here and with the likelihood of him getting a lovely tow through the race I can see him running a huge contest here at odds of around 50/1!
