5:10 Ascot Tips

Is in good form over hurdles with two wins and has also gone well on the flat with a win on previous form. So, back on the flat, can go well with every chance at the weights. Won over 2 miles on the flat and gets the same today.

2/3 since going into handicaps around 1m 4f, but stepped up to 2m. A chance is taken on Naval Tribute. The yard is going well. He relishes the long distance.

A distance of 2 miles in his favour and with not too much weight on best form. He must have a very good chance of taking this.

Has run some creditable races, making the frame a few times this year. Has fallen to a mark of 71. He ran a good 3rd at Bath, but they were arguably better-handicapped horses as well. On all known form, Educator is still well in on his mark, having won off 73 and 77 last season.

6-time winner. Solid 2nd of 7 at Bath last time out and looks way overpriced here. Solid each-way chance for a stable who do well with horses at Ascot. Solid each-way.

Galactic Charm is an interesting runner reverting back to the Flat and could be well treated if rediscovering his old form. His last notable Flat effort came at Kempton Park Racecourse in 2024, finishing 4th in a Class 3 over 2m, beaten just 1¾ lengths in a race that has worked out strongly ??' with the placed horses now rated in the 90s and beyond. He hasn’t shown much in recent hurdle runs since, but a switch back to the Flat could be key. His previous run at Yarmouth Racecourse over 1m 6f on good to firm saw him finish a staying-on 3rd, again in a race that reads well. He’s also proven his stamina by winning over hurdles for the Gary Moore yard, which suggests this 2m trip at Ascot Racecourse will suit. Now dropped to a mark of 78 and with a useful 7 lb claimer taking off weight, he looks potentially well handicapped. If the return to the Flat sparks improvement, Galactic Charm has the profile to be competitive in this staying contest.
