Ascot favourite hard to trust after string of seconds
Dolos
1.15 Ascot
SP forecast 13-8
Talented although a frustrating five-year-old who scored by 29 lengths in a four-runner Grade 2 novice chase on this course in November 2017, but has failed to win since and finished second four times, including on his last three. Has run against some decent horses in that time, but was odds-on at Carlisle in November and still found one too good. Obviously has a big form chance but finishes placed more often than he wins and there are a couple of tough rivals.
Conclusion Not sure I trust him to put it in at the death and thought Kildisart ran a really promising race when second to Wenyerreadyfreddie here last time.
