Ante-post racing tips: Take on Westover in King George plus 12-1 Nunthorpe selection

Westover is the favourite for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes at Ascot. Desert Crown is a likely runner after Emily Upjohn was taken out of the Irish Oaks. Baaeed is favourite to win the Sussex Stake. Betfred is offering new customers £60 in BONUSES when they bet £10 on horse racing. They are offering £50 off the ante-post odds on the selection of their choice.

Desert Crown will miss the King George. Westover won the Irish version at the Curragh. Eight of the last 12 winners were aged four or over. Last year's runner-up Mishriff is the favourite. German raider Torquator Tasso needs rain to have any chance.

The Qatar Sussex Stakes looks Baaeed's for the taking. Alcohol Free won the race last year and is on track to defend her crown. She is 12-1 with Betfred. Westover in King George is a good bet.

11 of the last 12 winners had already won a Group 1 prize. Baaeed could easily go off odds on as he bids to make the transition from a mile to ten furlongs. Desert Crown travelled well through the Derby and has more than enough tactical speed to handle the drop back in trip.

Royal Aclaim has won three races from three starts. Dramatised would be a fascinating contender if connections decide to take their chance. Flotus looks the ideal type for this. She has been doing most of her racing over 6f (Group 1-placed) but she has the speed for a sprint.

Westover won the Derby at Epsom and the Curragh. He is a long-striding colt and is well suited to the straight. If he wins the King George, his connections will target the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
