Ascot Stakes Tips

5.00 Ascot Stakes (Handicap) (Class 2) 2mls 4f. 4 year olds+.


First run in 1839, the Ascot Stakes is run over 2½ miles. Like the Gold Cup and Queen Alexandra Stakes, this race provides a thorough test of stamina. It is one of just three races at the Royal Ascot meeting in which the field passes the winning post twice and attracts horses that have run in the early season staying handicaps, most notable the Chester Cup.


This 20 runner field is an absolute minefield to choose from and any one will do but if you must – well then choose Zigato from the John Gosden stable who shows promise of improvement and possesses a fantastic turn of foot as demonstrated recently at Ascot when winning from way back in the field.

Main bet ZIGATO 9/2 each way
