Lucky 15 Tips: Four to fly on a superb Saturday

Jumps fans are treated to action from Ascot, including the Clarence House Chase and Haydock, for the Peter Marsh Chase - plus Navan and Taunton.

My Lucky 15 tips includes selections from the three British venues. Check them out below.

13:32 Taunton - Eremenko @ 3/1

EREMENKO has always had a big enough reputation, and the five-year-old is worth chancing on hurdling debut at Taunton on Saturday.

The five-year-old daughter of Walk In The Park won a bumper at Southwell last May in good style, but found a Listed event at Cheltenham six months later too hot.

That came at a time the Nicky Henderson yard wasn't in the best form, though, and the situation is a lot better at present.

A half-sister to stablemate Doddiethegreat, she could have plenty to offer over timber and this is far from a deep maiden. She should be competitive.

14:00 Haydock - Konfusion @ 5/2

The feature race at Haydock is the Peter Marsh - a handicap chase over 3m1½f that sees Cheltenham Festival winner Myretown take on the revelation that is KONFUSION.

I'm a big fan of the former, whom I tipped antepost at 16/1 for the Ultima, but he's error prone and if anyone's going to put his jumping under pressure, it's Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith's eight-year-old.

Since unseating over course and distance in November, he's barely put a foot wrong, winning a couple of Grade 3 handicaps - the Rehearsal at Newcastle and Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby on Boxing Day - by wide margins.

He might struggle to make the running over Myretown, but I expect him to be on his tail throughout and ready to capitalise on any mistake the favourite makes.

Connections are talking about a potential Gold Cup bid with this son of Schiaparelli, which I feel is a bit fanciful, but he's a definite contender for the likes of an Ultima and I give him the edge here.

14:53 Ascot - Tripoli Flyer @ 6/1

First time in a handicap, I'm willing to give TRIPOLI FLYER one more chance.

I say that, but he's not actually seen much of my money. That can't be said for others, though, as he was sent off 7/4f for the Top Novices' Hurdle at Aintree's Grand National meeting last year. Over eventual winner Salvator Mundi and Romeo Coolio. Still can't quite believe it...

Fergal O'Brien's seven-year-old Getaway gelding bolted up in the Dovecote before that visit to Merseyside, but it's been all downhill since.

I say that, but his run at Punchestown behind Final Demand and Lovely Hurling wasn't terrible. Neither were his defeats to Lulamba and Sir Gino this season, given the calibre of those rivals.

Off a mark of 140, with the useful Fern O'Brien taking off five pounds, it wouldn't be at all surprising to me if he was to make a splash at this level. He's clearly talented when he wants to be. Hopefully he wants to be on Saturday.

16:20 Taunton - Little Ledgend @ 13/8

Finally, it's time to write about LITTLE LEDGEND for the third instance today. I'll start thinking that's a true spelling in a minute.

Sean Bowen avoids Ascot and Haydock to ride at Taunton on Saturday, which is a huge positive for the selection.

I also believe him to be very well-handicapped, off a mark of 99 - reduced a couple of pounds for a 10-length defeat last time out. The winner was clearly very well-handicapped, though, so I believe it's a generous decision.

With Bowen on board against claiming jockeys in the main, he must have an almighty chance in the lucky last.

If all four selections won at the quoted prices, a 50p win Lucky 15 would return around £325 for a £7.50 total stake.
