12:55 Ascot Tips

The horse returns from a break and comes from a top yard, on the run for a hat trick. I believe he'll be suited by the good ground, and it will be the one to beat.

Last race should be forgotten, finishing 10th at Cheltenham. But the previous at Ffos Las as a novice hurdle should be considered, and I believe he can return to that form. He can improve and therefore finish in the placings.

Thistle could be the one. It showed promise when a decent bumper winner. It has also had two hurdles second-place finishes. Could be in the mix here.

Mount Anglesby represents Alastair Ralph's stable. He has two wins to his name. He finished second in his last two races and looks to have a good chance of finishing in the money. Toby McCain-Mitchell, who will be in the saddle, has won five of 11 races in the last two weeks

Looks fairly treated, like a few of these, but could take well to the step up in trip being an easy winner of a P2P. Was 2nd behind now 124 rated Inside Man when last seen who won on reappearance, beating a 114 rated horse in the process giving away a few lbs, so a mark of 113 could be more than fair for a big horse that has plenty of size and scope about him. His siblings did plenty of good work over further than the minimum trip which bodes well for a decent run here.

Improved to achieve a successful start for the Mickey Bowen stable in the 23f Worcester handicap, but could only finish 5th last out, having been in contention at 2 out before weakening prior to the last jump. Now back in distance, the 14/1 odds appear to be a solid choice for an each-way bet, largely based on the trainer's outstanding record.
