15:40 Ascot Muirhead Win (8,00) William Hill The 8 year old, had an impressive career so far. He won earlier this month, at the same distance, and a heavy going. Todays race, are much a like, and it would not be a surprice, seeing him up front again. Muirhead recent form. 6-3-1-4-1 The jockey Carberry are a regular on Muirhead. This will be their 19th runs together.

BBOTD - Saturday 29th October 3.20 Wetherby - Charlie Hall Chase Chief Dan George and Acrai Rua can be discounted immediately as not being good enough. Talented novice Weird Al has a little to prove at present having gone the wrong way last season, meeting with setbacks. Chicago Grey has a bit to find at the weights and might ideally prefer further given his Cheltenham win came over a stamina sapping 4m. Poquelin is a useful Grade 3 - Grade 2 animal but is better known for his 2m5f exploits. Time For Rupert broke a blood vessel when fifth in the RSA and with Diamond Harry bagging all of his victories with at least some cut in the ground there are valid grounds for opposing both of the market princiapals at cramped odds. NACARAT thus gets my vote, and there is every chance he can win back to back renewals and give upwards of 4lb to the rest of the field given the lack of front running opposition in this field. 6/1 Paddypower, 1 pt win
