In the 3m handicap chase at Ascot today (3.15), Onefortheroadtom looks nicely treated on the pick of his form and makes plenty of appeal at 7/1.
After winning his sole start in an Irish point, this seven-year-old took the scalp of subsequent Grade 1 winner Lalor when making a winning debut over hurdles at Exeter for Harry Fry.
Onefortheroadtom went on to finish a fine 6 1/2 lengths second of 10 to Heron Heights in a competitive handicap chase at the 2019 Punchestown Festival off a mark of 122 and also ran well first time up last season when keeping on to finish a 5 3/4 length fourth of 15 to The Conditional in a class 2 at Cheltenham from 3lb out of the handicap (127).
He was then far from disgraced when fifth of 11 to Cogry in Grade 3 at the same venue off 125 and took advantage of a good opportunity to get off the mark over fences at Fakenham back in March when asserting close home to score by a neck off 122.
Onefortheroadtom has been nudged up 4lb for that, but a revised rating of 126 still makes him look fairly treated on the form of his aforementioned races in this class 3 affair.
He also appeals as the type to do better over fences, is two from three over the trip of this and has gone well fresh.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts win Onefortheroadtom (7/1 BetVictor, William Hill)
