It's the last weekend of racing before Christmas and Betfair Ambassador Olly Murphy has two runners on Ascot's Saturday card. Here's his thoughts...

He will be ridden positively with Jonjo O'Neill Jr in the saddle. He's been in and has schooled him, so hopefully he can go well at a big price and put his last two disappointing runs behind him.
