Ascot 12.45

ASCOT 12.45 1 Major Jumbo @ 15/2 (PP + BV) - 1 POINT each way - majority of Bookmakers Odds to 5th + T/Cast Perm

There is not a lot of proven Ascot form on offer here and I see the main dangers to the selection as being the fast starting COPPER KNIGHT drawn in stall 17 and the enigmatic but increasingly well handicapped LINE OF REASON. I also think that Foxy Forever and Spring Loaded could run very big races; especially the latter; if it gets a strong gallop to aim at. 

It is hard though to ignore MAJOR JUMBO it ticks every box here, has scope from the draw to run middle of go to either flank, ideal and optimum conditions and although at the head of the market, any 7/1 to 15/2 winner on a Saturday is decent enough. For a 3 horse Tricast Perm I'd add in Line Of Reason and then may be have one line with Copper Knight and one line with Spring Loaded to give you perfect "fast starter / strong finisher " cover.
