Ascot 2.40 5 Thomas Brown @ 5/1 (PP)
(Price advised correct when tips e-mailed to Members at 8.00pm on Thursday night)
THOMAS BROWN is something of an enigma who has yet to fully fulfil undoubted potential.
It does though however have 2 distinct advantages today. The race is comfortably the easiest it has contested
since winning off a similar mark last November at Aintree off a mark 1lb higher. This trip looks ideal; the Going is
no problem and the other main advantage is a seasonal debut a few weeks ago; that was a solid start and will
give TB a big fitness advantage over the 2 Henderson horses, and we can't forget the fact that the jockey on the
Phillip Hobbs trained Ballotin, is somewhat short of a professional standard. This is another that will be priced
around 5/1; so a win or each way bet, at your discretion.
