Race preview
A gelding operation and break seemed to do the trick for ASCENSION, who was in danger of becoming disappointing for Roger Varian before striking at Newmarket three weeks ago. The son of Dark Angel might have got off lightly with just a 4lb rise and can take the scalp of hat-trick seeker Harrison Point, who relishes a battle and is likely to be given an aggressive ride by Oisin Murphy. Top-weight Queen's Sargent is another who can't be discounted.
