Lucky 15 Tips: The rest of Ascot on Saturday is pretty fantastic too!

Wonderful racing is the order of the day - and with an eight-race extravaganza at Ascot that leaves us four races NOT covered by ITV, meaning we can home in on those contests for our Lucky 15 tips.

You'll find the other four telly races covered in our ITV live races piece, so we've got today's major King George meet nicely wrapped up - just as it should be. 

Horse Racing Odds

13:10 Ascot - Never Enough @ 13/8

A hot-looking 6f maiden for two-year-old colts/geldings that haven't run on more than one occasion.

One of the once-raced entries is my selection for this - the No Nay Never colt out of a Frenetic mare Never Enough.

Smashing first spin 26 days ago at Windsor, finishing a half-length second of 11 behind a Clive Cox/Rossa Ryan hotpot. It was a couple of lengths back to the third, and he'll surely pick one of these races up with little fuss.

Tom Marquand was on top at Windsor but he's claimed for a William Haggas runner here so Will Buick is an eye-catching, and most encouraging replacement.

16:10 Ascot - Edwin Hubble @ 9/2

Class 4 handicap over 12f, for three-year-olds and above.

The aforementioned 'Aussie Tom' Marquand has the riding assignment for our next pick, a three-year-old Space Blues gelding out of a Daylami mare. Edwin Hubble is trained by Brian Meehan at Manton, and his charge runs in the legendary former Sangster silks now registered to Manton Thoroughbreds.

Think El Gran Senor, The Minstrel, Golden Fleece at al. Brilliant to see the colours gracing the racetracks still. This fella is looking for win number one after six starts but arrives here after a career-high close-up second at Windsor last time, 33 days ago.

Nice little break to digest that fine effort and up just 2lb he can get mightily competitive here. He's up to Class 4 from last time but is no stranger to the grade, and is evidently in fine fettle.

16:45 Ascot - Grizedale @ 10/3

A Class 2 handicap over a mile, for three-year-olds and above.

Champion Oisin Murphy has ridden our selection on three previous occasions, including for a win, and Lambourn handlers Daniel & Claire Kubler reach out again this afternoon on behalf of their four-year-old Zoustar gelding Grizedale.

Eight runs, three wins, including last time 16 days ago at Newbury. Straightforward enough it was too, off 87, and the assessor has had their say with a 9lb hike. It was a big statement performance, and connections now step up two grades in pursuit of this nice prize (£30k).

Interesting to see if he can take the rise in his stride. Let's hope so!

17:20 Ascot - Getreadytorumble @ 5/1

We've settled on another Tom Marquand conveyance for the lucky last in the shape of Jack Channon's Getreadytorumble, a four-year-old gelding with three wins from 14 starts to date.

This is a Class 2 sprint over 5f for three-year-olds and above, and as I write 14 are slated to face the starter. We're paying four places each-way here and that's a very sensible angle to bear in mind if you're perhaps considering a single.

This one is very definitely class-dropping, down into handicap company after contesting three Group races in his last three appearances, including a G1 at Royal Ascot (beaten 6.5l in the King Charles III).

He's rated 100, which equates to topweight of 9st 12lb here, and that won't be easy - but he's been operating at loftier levels and will surely appreciate this step down into calmer waters.

The yard are having winners, as is the jockey, too. It's a fascinating-looking clash and yet another highlight on a day chock-full of them.

If all four of our selections won, today's notional 50p win Lucky 15, at the prices indicated (they can of course fluctuate), would return around £439 for a £7.50 total stake. If you can improve upon our selections (of course you can) - then go for it!
