Ascot Placepot tips: Graeme Rodway with his perm for the ITV action

The opening 2m3½f novice hurdle (1.15) is a hot race and Skytastic looks an exciting prospect after winning two bumpers and a novice hurdle in three starts. He is a banker.

Just two places will be on offer in the Grade 2 Reynoldstown (1.50) and Doyen Breed looks solid after a good second at Warwick. However, it's also worth including Corach Rambler.

Caribean Boy is open to further improvement over 3m and should go well in the Swinley Chase (2.25), but it's also worth putting in the class act in the contest, Fiddlerontheroof.

The 2m3½f handicap hurdle (3.00) might not be as competitive as it looks at first glance. Highway One O Two has strong handicap form and goes in, along with Good Risk At All.

The feature Ascot Chase (3.38) can go to Mister Fisher. He was impressive when beating subsequent Denman Chase winner Eldorado Allen at Kempton and handles soft ground.

Only three places are on offer in a big field last leg (4.10) over 2m7½f and it's worth including two again. The consistent pair Imphal and Sirobbie might provide the answer.
