Horse racing tips for Friday: Dave Nevison's best bets at Ascot

Has run consistently well all season and deserves another win for his efforts. He has run two particularly good races over this course and distance this season, and is clearly well suited by this test.

He has finished second and fifth on his two starts at this track this season, but he could have arguably finished even closer on both occasions if things had worked out better for him.

Mobashr is nearly always held up and travels well, so hopefully the strong pace he will almost certainly get here should suit him perfectly.

The Horse Watchers have booked a very useful jockey in Becky Smith, and the selection looks a Placepot banker at least.

Was a beaten favourite under Frankie Dettori on one of his rare visits to Southwell last time out, but did not get the best of runs, or possibly the best ride, in getting beat less than a length in a driving finish.

He had won his previous two starts, including under Benoit De La Sayette at Newmarket and can get back to winning ways here.

The four-year-old has improved massively for a step up in trip and has only gone up 8lb since he won at Kempton in August plus remains open to improvement over this distance or further.

Recorded back-to-back victories over this course and distance last season and this is definitely his time of year as he hit form on his latest run with an excellent second at Doncaster when sent off at 25-1.

Richard Kingscote was on board for the first time on that occasion and retains the mount, which might well be a plus. He looks well enough handicapped to get back to winning ways and if he is in the same form as last time out, he's poised to strike from a decent draw.
