Racing Ahead’s resident tipster Ben Morgan selects his best bets for Saturday’s action at Ascot.
Ascot 2.25 – Head tells me to Listen to my heart
LISTENTOYOURHEART enjoyed the biggest day of her career last time out at Windsor, winning a valuable handicap by the narrowest of margins.
Given that narrow margin, the handicapper has only put her up 5lbs, but I feel she was worth more than that, given the depth and quality of the race.
Always highly tried previous to her Windsor win, she could certainly still have more to offer off her revised mark and I would make a strong argument that this is good bit weaker than the last race she won.
She is a worthy favourite and can provide super sub, Tristan Durrell, with another big Saturday winner.

Ascot 4.10 – Guy to come out on Top
I think TOP GUY has the look of a progressive horse in the penultimate race of the day and could round off a fine Saturday for team Skelton.
The form of his last race looks strong and his master trainer has stated that he has kept him back for this race.
He stayed on quite nicely last time at Newbury but found the progressive C’est Different too strong.
That horse is now favourite for the Pertemps at Cheltenham, whilst this lad lines up here off 106.
The step up in trip seemed to bring about plenty of improvement and I would hazard a guess that there is plenty more to come.
