Ascot tips: Antepost value bets for QIPCO British Champions Day on October 15

Ascot offers value bets for QIPCO British Champions Day on October 15.

Focus on Sprint and big-priced Irish raider. Highfield Princess is all but confirmed for Keeneland and the Breeders’ Cup in early-November. Alcohol Free has had time off since her third to Baaeed in the Sussex. Brad The Brief missed a bunch of potential engagements all through the summer and was my long-range fancy for Haydock. Castle Star is a big price given he was beaten just half a length by Perfect Power in last year”s Middle Park. He's only raced twice since then and been unplaced on both occasions.

Bayside Boy won in first-time blinkers at Sandown last week. Roger Varian's horse is back to his best after some lesser efforts on proper summer ground. New Drama came second in Friday's Joel Stakes. Baysidie Boy is 33/1 with plenty of firms at the time of writing. Ascot tips: Antepost value bets for QIPCO British Champions Day on October 15.

The National Gambling Helpline is on 0808 8020 133. The recommended bets are advised to over-18s.

Junko has become a bit of a globetrotter for Andre Fabre so it's not too much of a surprise to see him take his chance out in Hong Kong. Beaten a head by Anmaat in the Prix Dollar in his best run at three, his four-year-old campaign has taken him from Meydan to Munich, with plenty of domestic races taken in in between. His best run this year was…

Breeders' Cup tips: Key talking points and horses to follow in Santa Anita

Auguste Rodin was hard to watch in the 2000 Guineas and some of us genuinely felt we'd probably not see him on a racecourse again after the King George, so the intuitive feeling - the percentage call as a punter - is that for all his brilliance, it must be worth trying to take him on once more in Saturday's Breeders' Cup Turf. Aidan O'Brien and'The…

Aidan O'Brien has won the Kameko Futurity Trophy 11 times and many of them had the two-race prep, just like DIEGO VELAZQUEZ who did well to reel in stablemate Capulet in a Group 2 at Leopardstown last time. That form has worked out well and while the ground is a slight concern, the fact it will make this a real stamina test at the trip is in his…

City of Troy and Bucanero Fuerte have emerged as the top two-year-olds so far but there may well be a third candidate challenging for top spot in the juvenile generation after Sunday's Prix Morny at Deauville.

Archie Watson made the bold call to supplement his talented three-year-old at the six-day stage for the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, a decision that was vindicated when he beat last year's Nunthorpe heroine Highfield Princess, by a length.
