Steve Ryder's Saturday Horse Racing Tips at Ascot

TIP 1: HIGHWAYMAN - 1pt

Best odds of 5/2 at Unibet while publishing.

There hasn’t been a 3yo winner of this race since 2009 but HIGHWAYMAN (best priced at 5/2) looks to hold outstanding claims this year. Joseph O’Brien supplemented the colt for the race and his rise from winning a maiden when rated only 76 to winning the St Leger two starts later and achieving a rating of 117 is remarkable.

Highwayman has stayed on strongly on both of his starts over 1m6f shaping like this step up in trip to 2 miles should suit him well and he looks the one to beat with Dylan Browne McMonagle back on board.
