Race 1 – Ascot Racecourse
DOCTOR KEN was a pleasing beginner over hurdles when 3rd to a future G2 silver medallist at Aintree. He should come forward plenty for the experience under the supervision of Olly Murphy. KINCARDINE had plenty left in the tank when scoring on bumper debut at Southwell back in May and could bring the form across to hurdling.
Top Tip – DOCTOR KEN (2)
One to consider – KINCARDINE (5)

Race 2 – Ascot Racecourse
CASCOVA took a few attempts to get it right but capped off last season with a dominant 8 length hurdle score in March. Nicky Henderson’s charge turns to chasing no and looks well-treated off a 132 mark. TORN AND FRAYED showed aptitude for chasing when 3rd on first attempt at Cheltenham last month. He can find his way into the mix off the same mark.
Top Tip – CASCOVA (3)
One to consider – TORN AND FRAYED (2)
Race 3 – Ascot Racecourse
GO DANTE has done little wrong in his two starts, landing both by dominant margins. He was aided last time by his rival falling late on hurdle bow but he’s still an exciting Olly Murphy prospect who should prove too good for this lot. TWEED SKIRT failed to live up to market expectations when 4th on hurdle bow but should sharpen up for the experience and can chase home the selection.
Top Tip – GO DANTE (1)
One to consider – TWEED SKIRT (4)

Race 4 – Ascot Racecourse
PINK LEGEND capped of last season with an emphatic win at Listed level. Coming back off a 2lb higher mark, Venetia Williams’ gelding is proven fresh and should be able to resume her progression. GUY has not landed outside the money in all 5 chase runs including good 2nd on comeback run last month at Market Rasen. He has a progressive profile and should continue to go well for the Twiston-Davies boys.
Top Tip – PINK LEGEND (5)
One to consider – GUY (8)
Race 5 – Ascot Racecourse
LEONCAVALLO was a credible runner up in a competitive Listed affair over C&D latest and he can have his efforts rewarded here in calmer waters. GARRY CLERMONT capped off last season with his best yet, scoring readily at Warwick. He could make a winning return off a 7lb higher mark.
Top Tip – LEONCAVALLO (1)

Race 6 – Ascot Racecourse
EVA’S OSKAR picked up nicely when winning with a couple in hand at Chepstow on comeback late last month. Off a 4lb higher mark he can go again as he remains unexposed in this sphere. KAPGA DE LILY made leaps and bounds of progress last season, winning 5 of 7 and finding the frame in the other 2 runs. She races well after a long break and should be able to give the selection plenty of grief.
Top Tip – EVA’S OSKAR (4)
One to consider – KAPGA DE LILY (6)
Race 7 – Ascot Racecourse
HIDDEN DEPTHS has won his last couple in this sphere over a similar trip and remains 2lb well-in despite the 7lb penalty. He has a nice hat trick on the line and looks in a solid positon to act on it. BADDESLEY has appeal now going handicapping after finding the frame in both hurdle runs in the novices.
Top Tip – HIDDEN DEPTHS (4)
One to consider – BADDESLEY (3)
