Saturday Racing Preview: Top Tips Ahead Of A Busy Day At Ascot & Haydock

Saturday is a busy day at Ascot and Haydock. A Plus Tard, Constitution Hill, L’ Homme Presse and Edwardstone are going to have their rugs removed and unleashed on the course for the first time this season.

Saturday is a busy day at Ascot & Haydock. There is an important staying hurdle race between Complete Unknown and BRINKLEY. The horse is weighted 2lb lower than a heavy ground three-mile success at Exeter in February of last year. Paul Nicholls has a 34% since April and has saddled 16 winners in the last 14 days. Harry Cobden has won on 15 of his last 35 rides at 43%. The winner of the EBF final at Sandown in March was Complete unknown. He is the favourite. He won the race by 22 lengths. Good Risk At All is also a contender.

Edwardstone is racing at Ascot this afternoon. He missed his intended return at Cheltenham last Sunday. BOOTHILL is rated 148 and has won a hot race at Carlisle last month. The horse is 10-7 on his back on a mark of 140. He was only a length behind Beauport at Uttoxeter in March.

Houstas is a low weight choice for the last at Haydock. Lord Du Mesnil has plenty of deep ground form at the track. Houston Texas is an 8-year-old staying prospect. He won at Carlisle last time. He is 10-5 on the odds.
