‘His record in this race is superb’ – 20/1 ante-post tip for Ascot on Saturday

We have lots of quality racing action to look forward to this weekend, with graded races on offer at Ascot, Haydock, Wincanton and Gowran. There’s also some intriguing handicaps, including a £100,000 handicap chase at Ascot. One runner in particular stands out and the horse in question is available at a substantial price. He’s a previous winner of the race and looks potentially overpriced at 20/1. The Grand National trial at Haydock also looks interesting so we’ve picked out a 10/1 fancy for that race too. Take a look at our free tips page for daily content across British and Irish racing.

3.00 Ascot (Saturday)

Threeunderthrufive (20/1, bet365) is very useful when in good form and his record in this race is superb. Now an 11-year-old the Paul Nicholls-trained gelding won this race two seasons ago and is currently on a 5lb lower mark.

Second by a nose in last year’s renewal, he looks very well treated on that evidence. His two runs so far this season haven’t been great but the handicapper has responded and a return to form could be on the cards. Paul Nicholls’ form has been much better in recent weeks and that definitely bodes well.


3.15 Haydock (Saturday)

Grand Geste (10/1, Betfred) can be forgiven for his below-par display at Doncaster last time out as he was never travelling and that wasn’t an accurate reflection of his ability. Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith’s gelding was a good winner of a competitive race here before that and he’s worth giving a go over this marathon trip. It’s possible that we haven’t seen the best of this lightly raced chaser.
