2.45 Ascot – undefeated golden ace meets Blueking d’Orou

Howden Ascot Hurdle looks like it will be a great competition as Golden Ace faces Blueking d’Orou (2.45).

Jeremy Scott’s star mare Golden Ace is undefeated in four starts over hurdles, including the Grade 2 Mares’ Hurdle in March. It gave her trainer and jockey her first success at the Cheltenham Festival and she could get closer to that as she gains weight in the all-around.

Blueking D’Oroux made a name for itself in this race 12 months ago before struggling to put a dent in the leading company. Back on a track he enjoys, the five-year-old should have more opportunities this season and could be beaten under Harry Cobden.

William Haggas’s ward outweighs everyone, but he has a super record on an all-weather surface. However, he will have to build on a somewhat disappointing result at Kempton last time out.

Mums Tipple finished just behind Brewing at Kempton on the final day but is expected to strip for his first start since July.
