thedailymirror--2020-08-07--ADVERTORIAL: Ascot racing tips: Who to back - plus get a free £5 Betfair Exchange Bet

Look Closely at 7/2 in the 15:35 at Ascot looks to be the best bet of the day .
He won very well last time out over this course and distance on good to firm ground .
Indeed , both his wins have come on today ’ s surface .
He ’ s a proven stayer in a race where a few of the principals haven ’ t won over this trip .
Coming from the Roger Varian yard is a plus , the trainer is in good form and his runners tend to go particularly well at this track @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and given his breeding and connections I believe he could be a group horse in a handicap .
Will to Win to reverse form Earlier on the card , Will To Win can get revenge on his Newmarket conqueror Theotherside at around 7/1 in the 13:50 .
The Crisford family-trained Showcasing colt got no luck in that race , squeezed at the start and then short of room two out , and still managed to finish second .
The winner got 7lb for landing that race and Will To Win got a 1lb @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today .
I just think that , despite Theotherside triumphing in good fashion at Newmarket , Will To Win is value given a better run especially as he goes well on a quicker surface , albeit all-weather .
Will To Win is still very lightly raced and hence open to further improvement , and with his stable in red-hot form I am optimistic that he can overturn that form .
For those looking to play big odds , two to look out for at double figure prices are Wild Hope and Via Serendipty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former may only have won a Class 4 race last time but to have done it so well while at the same time carrying 10st marked the performance out as impressive .

Red-hot Varian can score another Ascot win
Look Closely at 7/2 in the 15:35 at Ascot looks to be the best bet of the day. He won very well last time out over this course and distance on good to firm ground. Indeed, both his wins have come on today’s surface. He’s a proven stayer in a race where a few of the principals haven’t won over this trip. Coming from the Roger Varian yard is a plus, the trainer is in good form and his runners tend to go particularly well at this track. Look Closely is very lightly raced and given his breeding and connections I believe he could be a group horse in a handicap.
Will to Win to reverse form
Earlier on the card, Will To Win can get revenge on his Newmarket conqueror Theotherside at around 7/1 in the 13:50. The Crisford family-trained Showcasing colt got no luck in that race, squeezed at the start and then short of room two out, and still managed to finish second. The winner got 7lb for landing that race and Will To Win got a 1lb rise, so is 6lb better off today. I just think that, despite Theotherside triumphing in good fashion at Newmarket, Will To Win is value given a better run especially as he goes well on a quicker surface, albeit all-weather. Will To Win is still very lightly raced and hence open to further improvement, and with his stable in red-hot form I am optimistic that he can overturn that form.
A pair to play at double-figure odds
For those looking to play big odds, two to look out for at double figure prices are Wild Hope and Via Serendipty in the 14:25 at Ascot. The former may only have won a Class 4 race last time but to have done it so well while at the same time carrying 10st marked the performance out as impressive. All three of his wins have come on good to firm ground and the switch to hold-up tactics clearly worked last time, giving me a strong hope that he could let the others run their race and then pounce late and fast to claim the win at a nice price. Via Serendipity has everything in his favour to run a massive race - ground, trip, time of year, stable in form – but I just think the new tactics on Wild Hope gives him the advantage in the race.
In-form stable can claim the 15:00
Tom Clover’s four-year-old grey colt Holy Kingdom rounds out the bets in the 15:00 at Ascot. He ran down the field last time on soft ground over one mile six furlongs at Newmarket’s July Meeting. But that was a funny race and today’s quicker ground should be far more to his pleasing. His stable are in form, he is still lightly raced and open to improvement while the way he finished in his penultimate start suggests this step up in trip would really suit him. But keep an eye on Charlie D who like Via Serendipity in the race above has a lot in his favour today. The only worry would be the form of the stable who are yet to really fire this season.
