Ascot Race 3

Troy Asset Management 'Introductory' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $55,350

CELTIC DINO (1) showed plenty of promise at this course last year including a debut success over 3200m. Made a winning start with hurdles last month running 14L clear in a Wincanton 3000m maiden hurdle. Top chance. JOYEUSE (6) found success on first UK outing 0.5L ahead of rivals contesting a 3200m maiden hurdle at Taunton eleven months ago. Represents leading connections. Big chance. Listed jumpers flat winner ROYAL INFANTRY (3) caught the eye at Chepstow scoring by 1.25L a 3200m maiden hurdle two weeks back. Makes for appeal. WADE OUT (4) arrives unbeaten under rules. Not dismissed.
