Family Discussion (white, red and orange colours) should not have to track wide at Ascot Racecourse on Saturday

Punting Form race reports: Saturday 16 February

Punting Form rates Family Discussion as the favourite for Saturday's Henryk Malec 60th Birthday Maiden over 1,200 metres at Ascot Racecourse and it does look as though he will break through for his first win at the 10th attempt.

In 2019, Family Discussion has run big races in defeat three times, earning three minor placings after being wide all the way at York once and Ascot Racecourse twice. A half brother of smart sprinter Just Act Natural, Family Discussion will start the Henryk Malec 60th Birthday Maiden from the inside gate under Chris Parnham, who has ridden him three times for two minor placings so he knows him quite well. According to Punting Form, Family Discussion boasts the best two-year performance rating in the Henryk Malec 60th Birthday Maiden field and that combined with a speed map that favours the George Dupre-trained gelding makes him stand out on top.
