Ascot Saturday

LUCAS Murphy looks the man to keep onside at Ascot on Saturday, with the son of former top jumps jockey Timmy getting plenty of support at present which promises that his 7lb claim won’t last too long. As well as being Timmy’s son, his mother Verity is the daughter of leading owner Raymond Anderson Green and he has Fergal O’Brien as his godfather, and he will be well supported by those connections. He has ridden out for Paul Nicholls and Richard Hannon and has come up through the pony racing ranks in the UK, showing the promise you would expect given his pedigree.
