Paul Kealy's Saturday banker at Ascot

Before Midnight
3.15 Ascot

Jumped beautifully from the front when slamming Sky Pirate by six lengths at Cheltenham on his return and still looks the one to beat off an 8lb higher mark.

Unless his rivals change the habits of a lifetime, he's going to get his own way in front again, and while this is a stiffer test, he is a strong stayer at the trip.

Paul has three more fancies across Saturday's big races. Sign up to Members' Club Ultimate to read his tips every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and at the major festivals
