Cloonacool looks decent value at 8/1 in the 3.00 at Ascot today.

Stuart Edmunds’ gelding showed progressive form throughout 2014 when winning three times and looked better than ever on seasonal reappearance last year when landling a Listed class 1 handicap hurdle at Market Rasen by two lengths off a mark of 132.

Cloonacool then finished fifth of 11 to Nabucco in this contest off a mark of 136, doing well to be beaten just 5 1/2 lengths having made a bad mistake three from home when still travelling strongly

He is now able to race off 1lb lower and comes into the contest on the back of a promising return to action at Market Rasen.

After being held-up at the rear, the seven-year-old was cruising into contention and yet to bre asked any sort of question when coming to grief two from home.

It was an effort which suggested Cloonacool’s current mark of 135 was exploitable, especially given that he has been placed over fences off 4lb higher.

Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Cloonacool (8/1 bet365, BetVictor, Boylesports, Coral, Sky Bet – BOG)
