Back class act Kateson for Ascot hurdle heroics
Tom O'Brien riding Not So Sleepy (second left) clear the last to win The Betfair Exchange Trophy during the Saturday of the December Racing Weekend at Ascot Racecourse

THE focus of the action tomorrow afternoon will be Ascot, where Politologue will go off a warm favourite for the feature Clarence House Chase at 3.35.

But with Defi Du Seuil having plenty to prove and Waiting Patiently better fresh, we could be in for a massive surprise.

First Flow certainly attracts the eye following his impressive win at the track last time out, but he will surely need to fence better in this higher grade — so I am going to take a chance on FANION D’ESTRUVAL.


SUNDAY DOUBLE:

PEMBERLEY –2.20 HEREFORD (NAP)

Narjes – 12.40 Lingfield
