Racing Post verdict
Third-partyWe're Goosers heads this competitive Ascot handicap on merit, having put up a taking display last time out — winning by the best part of ten lengths — and despite a subsequent rise in the weights, he still looks to be operating ahead of his current mark. Oisin Murphy, who has a fine record in this type of contest, retains the ride, which adds further encouragement. Crest Of Fire, who shaped well over this trip in a strong Carlisle race last time, represents the most credible threat alongside Richie's Rocket and Blue Courvoisier, while a big field over a mile on good-to-firm ground will demand things run smoothly. On balance, We're Goosers is the clear pick.
