Saturday Ascot Placepot tips - Race-by-race guide

There is a particularly fine card at Ascot on Saturday with the mighty Big Buck’s taking centre-stage in the Grade 1 Lough Derg Long Walk Hurdle (230), the fourth event on a six-race card that begins at 1255 and ends with the Ladbrokes Hurdle at 335.

The advance going at the Berkshire track is forecast ‘Soft’.

Race 1 (Ascot 1255) – Romulus d’Artaix, Carrickmines and Sapphire Rouge are our three against the field in a very competitive opening three-mile handicap where four places count if all 16-runners stand their ground.

Race 2 (Ascot 125) – Hold Fast should have come on for his seasonal return at Newbury and is included in our perm along with Tara Royal, a model of consistency.

Race 3 (Ascot 155) – Aerial’s fourth place finish in the Paddy Power Gold Cup is the best form on offer here and if he reproduces that run he would take all the beating. We also suggest including Hell’s Bay, a smart performer on his day.

Race 4 (Ascot 230) – It’s impossible to oppose Big Buck’s in this feature event as he goes for his 14th straight victory. We rate him a banker selection.

Race 5 (Ascot 305) – Massini’s Maguire has been off for a long time but runs very well fresh so gets the vote together with The Minack, a good winner in listed company at Wincanton on his seasonal bow last month.

Race 6 (Ascot 335) – A cracking renewal of the Ladbrokes Hurdle with many horses holding serious claims. We rely on the trio of Raja Star, Prospect Wells and Marsh Warbler to see us through to a winning dividend.
