4:35 Ascot Tips

My NAP of today's card goes to this guy. Set a nice pace for himself at Newmarket, only to be denied by the eventual winner by half a length. Blue Courvoisier remains in Class 4 company, while the third in the race went on to win a Class 3 handicap next time out.

Ended on a winning note in its last race as a 2yo, and we can expect this one to have trained on as a 3yo this season. Looked a good prospect to me when winning that race and should definitely be on your ones-to-follow list.

Good level of form in seven starts without winning but a good fourth latest after a break and runs off the same mark. That form has been boosted since.

Has a 5th and 2nd this year and is now making their handicap debut. Seems to be well fancied, as the odds are shortening.

Won 2 All-Weather races in November 2025. Wasn't disgraced when 7th of 12 at Newmarket last time out and runs off a 1 lb lower mark. Can have a good chance here under an experienced jockey.

Given his current form, this 3-year-old stands out as a prime candidate for an each-way wager at 22/1. With noticeable progress under new connections, this robust traveler has thrived in comparable conditions. A beneficial draw, steady recent form, and impressive cruising speed position him as a leading contender to secure a place in a competitive lineup.
