15.50 Ascot: Piscean @ 80/1 - 0.5pts e/w
Big price here for the old warrior Piscean who could be overpriced I feel. He ran some very fine races on the All-Weather over the winter, showing he's still very much competitive and not losing the sparkle. On his first turf start this year, one week ago at Goodwood, he probably ran better than the bare result suggest, as I thought he was a bit unlucky there actually. He travelled like a dream until 2f out, appearing to be on the bridle. But he was in a poor position there on the inside rail with a wall of horses in front of him and no chance to get a run through. He didn't get a hard race in the end, and was eased down eventually. So on the evidence of that race it looks as if Piscean is still holding his form, and that makes him interesting today. He gets the 7f trip (2/8 and 50% placed) and he needs fast ground to be seen at his best, so conditions are absolutely fine today. Sure, things have to fall right for him, and he might be a bit high in the mark, but he is in good nick and should run his race, what could give him the chance to be in the frame.
