We’re going for Gold! More winning picks coming right up!
This week has been a very profitable one for my followers and it has shown how important it is not to get sucked in by the best races and all-star meetings just for the sake of it. A 4/1 winner is a 4/1 winner regardless of which horses contest the race and where they do it!
Point 100% proven this week. Although there has been big Group action at Chester, by staying away from the big races and making careful choices, we are in a very healthy position heading into Saturday.
This week I am taking a look at Lingfield, Ascot and Haydock where I have five selections for you to take a look at and hopefully bring you another profitable Saturday.
Let’s take care of your weekend funds with some free bets!

Lingfield
1.50 Gold Medal @ 7/2 (NAP)
Today, I’m heading for Lingfield and going for gold in the shape of Dylan Cunha’s runner
Gold Medal
who has improved no end this season. He used to be in the care of Richard Hughes, who never quite managed to get a tune out of this gelding, beyond his winning debut, but it’s a whole different story now.
His two wins since joining Dylan Cunha could not have been more impressive. On his first outing, he won with a ton in hand, coming from off the pace to cruise into the lead and hold on to get the job done. These tactics were used again for his most recent run and I’d imagine he’ll be doing the same again at Lingfield.
Although his previous wins were both over 6 furlongs, he comes to Lingfield to contest over 7 furlongs. That is absolutely no cause for concern, as his running style clearly suggests that is a clever move, especially whilst he is in tip-top form.
He is clearly an improved horse this year, with a rating that’s still very lenient, despite a rise in weights and
we could be ready to see another career best from Gold Medal, making him my best bet for Saturday. He takes on some really nice profiled horses this time, but his improvement suggests that he is more than capable of beating them.
Ascot
2.40 Fresh @ 9/1
Over at Ascot we have the Victoria Cup and the one that stands out to me in this year’s renewal is James Fanshawe’s runner
Fresh, who has really strong form on all sorts of ground and loves it here at Ascot. He has a course and distance win to his name and didn’t look out of place in the Group 1 Champion Sprint Stakes at Royal Ascot, when only 7 lengths behind the talented Kinross.
Fresh definitely has a class edge to his running style and must have an obvious chance dropping back into Handicap company with a mark he has won off before. He finished fourth in this race last year, but comes in to this race having already had a spin on the all-weather to freshen up for his Ascot outing.
Daniel Tudhope, his regular partner, takes the ride, having already won on him multiple times. Although this is 23-runner field,
Fresh has the experience and talent to be right there at the finish line.
At a cracking price of 9/1, he’s just too good to miss out on.
3.45 Kings Code @ 8/1
Richard Hannon has a good record with his three-year-olds at Ascot and
Kings Code
brings decent form into this race, having had three runs to date. He showed promise over 7 furlongs and also over 1m 1f last term, doing his best work late on in the race, so this further step up in trip looks like it should bring out even more improvement.
His latest run came at Goodwood, where he encountered traffic problems. He did eventually find a gap and make plenty of late headway, suggesting he would’ve finished closer had he not met with trouble early on.
Kings Code should really appreciate the soft ground at Ascot tomorrow and this is where his stamina should pay dividends, as he has the staying power to fight out the finish. He is the only horse that has to overcome a layoff, but based on what we’ve seen so far,
he’s open to a ton of improvement
and I fancy his chances first time out.
4.20 Dubai Crystal @ 11/2
This is a really classy-looking fillies Handicap and there are plenty that appeal on paper. But none more so though than the Karl Burke-trained
Dubai Crystal, who won and made all from the front at Redcar last time out. Sent off at 10/1, she wasn’t exactly fancied, but she was really smart and looked like the winner from a long way out.
When Karl Burke’s horses start to show improvement, you need pay attention, as they tend to back up the performance next time out and Dubai Crystal certainly fits that profile. She has been given a very generous mark for her Handicap debut and even though she is going to have to improve again, that looks extremely likely to happen.
A few of the other fillies I like in this race are giving my selection over a stone in weight and I just don’t think they are going to be able to live with that advantage.
She has been given the best opportunity to go out and win
on her Handicap debut and at 11/2, she’s more than tempting.
Haydock
1.35 Wa Wa @ 17/2
Over at Haydock there is a cracking card of both Jumps and Flat racing action and I really like one in the opener. It’s a 17-runner Handicap Hurdle and I think it could pay to side with the Irish team here.
Wa Wa
is a horse who has won previously over three miles at Leopardstown and Navan, before finding the extra mile a little too much of a stretch last time out at Downpatrick.
On paper, that looks to have scuppered his chances, but this Handicap is back over his favoured trip and I truly expect to see a very good run from him again here. In his latest effort over 3½ miles he was still travelling very well past the three-mile mark, so there’s no doubt he is going to be much better suited dropping back this time around.
On the second of his three-mile victories, he won eased down and even though his British mark here is higher than he would have carried that day, he’s clearly good enough to handle it based on his Leopardstown success. The good to soft ground will be perfect for him and I think tactically he will just settle midfield and slowly pick up the tempo in the last few furlongs to try and beat them all with stamina.
This is a fascinating contest to start the day at Haydock and
I think the first race goes to Ireland in the name of Wa Wa. I don’t think his 17/2 price tag will last, so it could be worth getting on sooner rather than later.

My best bets for Saturday and I’m looking to strike Gold again.
