Ascot Tip: Laugh A Minute

Progressive 3-year-old who clocked the fastest closing sectional from the last 526 runners at Doncaster. Backed it up with a good run in France and much improved since being gelded.

Limato is favourite for the 3.00 Ascot on the back of his last two wins and whilst he is a likeable sprinter the speed ratings of his victories have not been that impressive. In a sub-standard renewal of the race he is about his price but there are better options.


Laugh A Minute has a more attractive profile despite not winning anything other than conditions events. Since being gelded he has finished 1-2 but I was mightily impressed by his win at Doncaster. The early pace was pedestrian and his closing sectional of 33.1s is the fastest closing split at the track from the last 526 runners. At Deauville the race wasn’t run to suit, with the winner making all but Laugh A Minute did well to finish second.

There is another big performance in this progressive 3-year-old; that could be today.
