Coral Racing Ambassador, Joe Tizzard, shares his thoughts on his runners at Ascot, this Saturday!

15:10 Ascot – No Way Jay

We did have Rock My Way and Scarface in the big handicap chase here as well but the quicker ground just put me off for both of them, there’s a long season ahead and I’d rather wait for some ease for the pair of them.

No Way Jay ran well here last season to finish fourth in a decent Listed bumper, the form of which has worked out well. Unfortunately this fellow then ran out very wide in both his starts after that, losing all chance both times but he’s shown no signs of doing that anywhere else.

He’s schooled really well at home and with the horses running really well, I’d be hopeful he will run a big race, I hope he might take some beating in a valuable novice hurdle.

15:43 Ascot – Rightsotom

This horse is a headscratcher and he always has been, I just don’t think he tries very hard, hence we’ve put blinkers on him here. He has had a run at Chepstow this season so he’ll be fit and we’ll ride him positively but I don’t think he puts it all in, which makes him frustrating.

16:15 Ascot – Colombe d’Or

Colombe d’Or is a nice little horse for the same owners as Rightsotom. He’s quite a racy sort, so this bumper should suit him well. I’ve had a couple of placed horses in bumpers recently and this fellow goes as well as them, if not better, at home. I like him and I would not be surprised to see him run into a place at least.
