12-55 Ascot

Dover’s Hill has a decent record in the NHF races with form of 2823 & in the 8^th placed race he was only beaten a total of 6¼L. Has finished 2^nd & 3^rd on good ground so that is fine. Steps up in distance.

Karabak has 2 runs to his name with a win on his debut and a 3^rd lto at Aintree. Also makes a step up in distance and ground should be sound for him. Kings in great form so has a shout here.

Mad Max is certainly the one to beat here winning his 2 NHF races including a comfortable win in a class 1 at Newbury lto. Increase in distance should suit as he certainly stays.

Suggestion:

Mad Max - Win @ 4/5 RPF

Masked Man fell on his chase debut 21 days ago though was travelling pretty well at time. Goes well on good ground but he will have to prove he can stay the trip. Trainer in great form. Pretty safe E/W bet for a small loss.

Massini’s Maguire; very good hurdler with a rating of 150 lto (4^th) & also beating TidalBay in March. Goes pretty well on good ground though quite possible prefers it a tad softer. Back after the best part of 2 years after an injury. Should win if going well. Will he be fit though?

Slash and Burn has 9 chases to his name but only a 2^nd a two 3^rds to show for it. Finished 2^nd lto here at Ascot beating Poker De Sivola by 5L into 3^rd; that was also on good ground so conditions are good here.

Suggestion:

Masked Man – E/W @ 4/1 RPF
