Paul Kealy's play of the day at Ascot

Shout 

4.40 Ascot

While I'm backing outsiders in the Group races, I think Shout is the stand-out bet at the head of the market.

Having been a shade unfortunate on a couple of occasions this season, he won like a horse with a huge amount in hand over course and distance last month (form worked out well). Although he's been raised 9b, I've no doubt he's up to the task.

Oisin Murphy, who rode him last time and has a stunning 48 per cent strike-rate for Simon and Ed Crisford, is back on board and this has probably been the plan for a while.
