Ascot tips on Saturday: Harry Allwood has a 20-1 selection

Tipster: Harry Allwood

Best odds: 7-4.

This three-year-old was value for more than the winning margin suggests at Goodwood last time out and holds strong claims of defying a 7lb higher mark here.

The form of his debut win at Kempton last year worked out nicely, and he again shaped with bundles of promise, despite appearing a work in progress, when second on his next two starts under a penalty. Connections also opted to give him an entry in the Dante and the Derby, which hints that he's held in high regard.

A rating of 91 clearly underestimated Push The Limit on his handicap debut where he relished the step up to 1m3f, and did well to overcome a hefty bump entering the straight. He also handled the unique track well for a youngster with little experience, and was firmly on top close home.

The runner-up there has been performing creditably in valuable contests this season, and has since been placed off a higher mark, while the third won next time out, so the form looks useful.

Ralph Beckett's charge handles cut in the ground and an extra furlong here looks certain to suit this long-striding colt who has a staying pedigree. Le Havre's progeny also tend to improve with age.

Beckett's team remain in good form and although Push The Limit faces other exciting three-year-olds here, I think he could take some beating. He's my nap of the day on Saturday.

Best odds: 20-1 (bet365).

Fair Wind progressed again last season, and his victory off a rating of 90 over course and distance looked a strong race on paper, with Owen Burrows' charge defeating plenty of useful handicappers. He travelled travelled powerfully en route to victory there and appeared a sprinter to follow. 

However, he refused to race on his next start and was not seen again that season, which hinted that something may have been amiss. He was also not given a hard time under pressure at Chester on his return this year where he had a wide draw, and the outing was clearly needed.

The five-year-old again failed to break swiftly at Epsom when last seen, which left him on the backfoot and without a chance of winning, so he comes with risks attached here, but there's no doubting he has the ability to strike off a rating of 92 based on the strength of his form last season.

He has gone close twice following a break in the past, so the lack of a recent run is not a huge concern, and Burrows has had his team in red-hot form over the past couple of months.

Fair Wind's style of racing means he's suited by Ascot and, even if he does break a shade slowly on Saturday, it will hopefully not hinder this hold-up performer who has won of soft ground.
