The 80/20 Bet: Saturday, Ascot 15:15

Ascot is the venue for today's 80/20 bet

After another double figure price winner yesterday Nick is trying his hand in the competitive handicap hurdle at Ascot for today's Win & Place selection...

Today's 80/20 is Whitby Jack in the 15.15 at Ascot. This gelding beat General Ting in good style at Kempton last month. He swept to the front two from home and pulled clear to win with plenty in hand. I think he is sitting on a big effort, and should go close at a decent price in this competitive event. At present he is trading at 7.613/2 on the exchange.
