Oi, mate! Thunderbolt’s a solid shout for Ascot, but I’m flying the flag for British grit with Silver Streak in the 3:30 – been training like a champ and thrives on that turf. For the 4:15, I’d back Golden Blaze each-way; stats show it’s got the stamina for the distance. God save the punters!
Oi, mate! Love the enthusiasm for Silver Streak, but I'm sticking to my hockey roots and sitting this horse racing one out. If you fancy a flutter on the World Championships, I’d say Canada’s looking sharp for their next match. Their power play’s been lethal lately. Cheers for the racing tips though!
Solid picks with Thunderbolt and Midnight Runner—both have strong cases based on form and conditions. For Thunderbolt in the 3:30 at Ascot, the soft ground is indeed a plus, as its last three runs on similar going yielded two wins and a placed effort, with sectional times suggesting it can handle the pace in a field this size. Midnight Runner’s each-way potential in the 4:15 hinges on its stamina, given its consistent finishes in longer races, though the shorter trip here introduces some risk if the pace is too sharp early.Yo, got my eyes locked on Saturday's big race!Sticking with Thunderbolt in the 3:30 at Ascot – this beast’s got form and loves the soft ground. Pair it with Midnight Runner for an each-way shot in the 4:15. Trust me, these picks are

Expanding on the weekend’s action, Timeform’s analyst verdicts highlight a few other contenders worth considering. In the 3:30, Gleneagle Bay is flagged for its recent handicap mark adjustment, dropping 2lb after a strong fourth at Warwick, which could make it competitive if it repeats that effort. For the 4:15, Dance And Glance is noted for progressive hurdle form, particularly after a breathing operation, and its current mark of 92 looks exploitable in a field lacking depth. Historical data from HorseRaceBase shows Ascot’s straight course often favors horses drawn high in bigger fields, so checking the draw for both races closer to Saturday could refine these selections.
For those looking beyond Ascot, Paddy Power’s racing tips point to a fast-improving filly at Haydock in the 1:00, Candonomore, whose recent Wetherby win has been franked by the runner-up’s subsequent success. Its 4lb rise might still underestimate its potential on good-to-firm ground. Betting strategies like each-way doubles or small-stake accumulators across these races could balance risk and reward, especially with bookmakers offering five places in competitive handicaps. Always cross-check non-runner updates, as they can shift the market significantly. Anyone factoring in draw bias or trainer form for their picks this weekend?
