Today at Ascot

By Profit Swing

scot stages an excellent card and we have two bets today.

The first runs in the 14:15 where we are taking on the odds on favourite Burton Port with Knockara Beau the northern raider. I feel Knockara Beau has contested much better races than Burton Port and have them much closer on my prices. Nicky Henderson has had a few beaten favourites this week and I wonder if the yard is just hitting a flat spot. There really isn't anything else in the race to concern me so in a match our selection is terrific value.

Pick: Knockara Beau 3 Points Win 3.75 Bet365 (Best odds guaranteed)

Our second selection runs in the next race at 14:45. A very competitive handicap hurdle and I can pass on a big word for the Alan King trained Midnight Sail. I am told he has done plenty of work for his reappearance and at today’s price we can chance that. He is set to carry only 10.6 and on this ground that could be vital. This horse has some cracking form from last year and has been working well with some of the yards better hurdlers. He merits a good EW Bet today against some exposed rivals. The favourite Bethshaba merits huge respect but does not look one to trust too much and the selection’s stamina should see him get going up the straight.

Pick: Midnight Sail 1.5 Points EW 1/4 1,2,3,4 15.0 Paddy Power  (Best odds guaranteed)

Remember to cheer on Ian Poulter, our selection in the Golf. Today is the Quarter Finals and Semis with many of the seeds falling he may never have a better opportunity to win a World Championship event!
