NAP – CARNIVAL ZAIN @ 3/1 with Bet UK – 4.15 Ascot

Our NAP of the day comes from the meeting at Ascot Racecourse this afternoon, where we have selected Carnival Zain to win the 4.15pm Class 3 Handicap over the seven furlong trip.

This 5-year-old gelding comes here fresh off the back of some fine form. Carnival Zain has three wins and two runner-up finishes in his last six starts. Last time out, he won at Chester by over a length when running off a mark of 10st 4lbs, and pushed along nicely as the race progressed and kept on inside the final furlong well.

This Micky Hammond trained horse runs off two-pounds shorter a mark today, so should be able to handle the handicap well. Jockey Becky Smith takes the reigns on Carnival Zain today and the pair should have every chance of triumphing here.

NEXT BEST – LATE ARRIVAL @ 10/1 with Bet UK – 6.25 York

Our Next Best bet of the day comes in the form of this Michael and David Easterby trained 5-year-old, as we have picked Late Arrival to triumph in this Class 4 Handicap over six furlongs.

The gelding comes here today fresh off the back of back-to-back victories, winning at Pontefract and Chester respectively. Late Arrival won by over a length at Chester at the beginning of the month, and won by five lengths the race before that at Pontefract when he was a huge 28/1 underdog.

Late Arrival has looked superb in recent runs, so jockey Joanna Mason will be hopeful of claiming a hat-trick of wins on the 5-year-old here today. Runs off a reasonable mark of 9st 4lbs which should help too.
