Ascot Shergar Cup Racing Tip

This is a wide-open contest to start the day’s action at Ascot. TIS MARVELLOUS has a good record at Ascot can’t be counted out of this.

He is coming down in grade after going well in Group company last year.

The last two runs for Tis Marvellous have been here at Ascot in handicaps and he performed well in both. He has every chance.

TONE THE BARONE has been away for four months. But looks a tremendous fit for this race as an 8/1 racing tip* (betting odds recorded 18:37 GMT on August 6th 2021 at William Hill).

He has won two of his five runs this season and has won on his last two visits to Ascot. So with that track record and a good yard which is in form, Tone The Barone goes as our tip.

STONE OF DESTINY should have a chance as well. He has continued in some nice steady form. He won the last edition of this race in 2019 for Andrew Balding.

While Stone Of Destiny is 6lb higher than he was for that score, he may well have a good chance.

Ascot Shergar Cup Racing Tip

The 10/3 UBER COOL looks the way to go for this stayers contest* (betting odds recorded 18:37 GMT on August 6th 2021 at William Hill).

On his reappearance in May after a long time away, he simply cruised to a win at Chester. It was just impressive all the way considering the absence.

He has been rested for 70 since that one, but coming back on a return to a 2m trip, he looks to have every chance on Saturday.

INDIGO TIMES is very interesting as well if he can bring the heat back on the turf. He has been on the up and up on the all-weather.

On his latest run, Indigo Times went well to claim a sixth-place finish in the Northumberland Plate and looks to be sitting on a pretty handy mark.

Place claims should be there for CALL MY BLUFF. He landed a double at Nottingham and Chester but had to work extremely hard to get the second of those by a neck.

Call My Bluff gets a rise of 3lb and he is also coming up in class here. Those could be factors that just see him fall short of the win.

Ascot Shergar Cup Racing Tip

SPANISH KISS gets the nod at 6/1 as a horse racing tip in this one* (betting odds recorded 18:37 GMT on August 6th 2021 at William Hill).

He should have a chance here coming down on distance. Spanish Kiss didn’t get the rub of the green on a hattrick chance last time out.

That was here at Ascot last month, and there were excuses in that race. Before that, he was going very well and won his turf debut at this distance at York in May.

C’EST NO MOUR can’t be counted out of this contest after ending last year on the up. That was on the all-weather.

But he went well to score at Goodwood on his reappearance in June and claimed a third place with excuses at Newmarket on a follow-up.

GROUP ONE POWER looks like a solid contender for the places. He has been in good consistent form for Andrew Balding.

He hasn’t managed to add to a reappearance win this season but reliably churns out solid performances.

Ascot Shergar Cup Racing Tip

The racing value looks to be on DASHING ROGER at 5/1* (betting odds recorded 18:37 GMT on August 6th 2021 at William Hill).

He is in great heart at the moment, starting to peak with his form. Dashing Roger claimed a win on his penultimate run, which was at Sandown in May.

On a follow up at Salisbury 45 days ago, he put in another very strong run to take a place finish. Dashing Roger’s yard is in form and he looks the way to go.

OUZO should also have a big shout in this one.

Back in October, he scored a great win at York in a handicap. His Royal Hunt Cup performance this season (4th) here at Ascot puts him in the frame for Saturday.

DANCE FEVER makes a return to a 1m trip here and he took a third place finish in the International here at Ascot on a 7f trip two weeks ago.

That was a close finish and that followed a good win at Leicester on his penultimate run.

Ascot Shergar Cup Racing Tip

SKYCUTTER could be a good option for Ascot Racing at a quote of 6/1* (betting odds recorded 18:37 GMT on August 6th 2021 at William Hill).

He has performed with credit this season in defeat. It’s been three runner-up finishes in four trips, so he has been in the frame.

Skycutter is therefore likely to give another good account for himself. He’s more versatile than most in this field and should go well.

STAR CALIBER comes down on a trip and looks to have a chance here. He has gone close on his last two runs at Chester and here at Ascot.

The other big player in the field is likely to be POSSIBLE MAN who comes up just 1lb after picking up a win at Nottingham last month.

He just managed to reel in State Of Bliss to get that score. Further progress could be on the cards for him and the extra trip could favour him.

Ascot Shergar Cup Racing Tip

DREAM COMPOSER is our selection for this contest at a quote of 10/1* (betting odds recorded 18:37 GMT on August 6th 2021 at William Hill).

He is in big form at the moment, just missing out on a hattrick completion last time out. But that was still a good performance, returning a 4th place finish here during the Royal Ascot festival.

The extra trip for him on Saturday looks to be the right move and Dream Composer looks to be a big player.

ROYAL SCIMITAR has every chance in this one as well. He was fourth in a valuable Newmarket contest last month.

The move down to the 6f trip suited him very well and there should be more to come from him.

SHARK TWO ONE has claims as well in this one. He was last seen at Goodwood a week ago, taking a third place finish on a 7f trip.

He’s down 1lb from that effort and the drop in trip could pay off as well.
