TOP TIPS
Sam Hardy
Ace tipster
Hukum 3.40 Ascot
An exciting middle-distance prospect who should have enough to beat a largely exposed Hardwicke field. Keith Melrose
Speed figures
Fresh 5.00 Ascot Recorded a personal best on the clock over course and distance last time, which is invariably a positive pointer. Dave Edwards
Eyecatcher
Point Lonsdale 2.30 Ascot Immediately earmarked for this race after creating a lasting impression on his debut over this 7f trip at the Curragh 17 days ago.
Dave Randall
Handicappers’ nap
Stratum 6.10 Ascot
Pick of the weights on his win in the 2019 Cesarewitch and a career-best effort when runner-up in last year’s Lonsdale Cup. Won’t mind conditions and is the one to beat.
Paul Curtis
Dark horse
Japan 3.40 Ascot
Won the King Edward VII Stakes here two years ago. Disappointing campaign last season, but back in the winner’s enclosure at Chester’s May meeting and should go well with conditions to suit.
