Ascot kick off the racing on ITV this Saturday and the first race of the afternoon is the Class 3 Handicap over 1m4f and Sir Rumi on this ground could be the one to beat.
A horse that thrives on soft/heavy ground, the five year old showed his keenness for those conditions at the back end of last season when second at Doncaster on heavy ground in a good Class 2 Handicap behind Israr.
Returning this season at the same track but dropped to 1m2f he finished a good second again on heavy ground giving over a stone and a half to the winner.
Running no race at Kempton after that and giving him the benefit of the doubt, he returned to the turf at Epsom on soft ground over 1m4f and he got back to winning ways in good style giving weight away to the winner.
That win was off a mark of 90 and he has gone up 4lbs for that win but on this ground he should take that in his stride.
