Ascot - Saturday 17th January

13:00, BetMGM Handicap Chase

Laganhill 7/1, 1pt each-way (3 places)

This is as good a handicap chase as you will find around Ascot this time of year. The Jukebox Kid deserves to be favourite and is likely to bounce back from his Cheltenham disappointment but Laganhill makes more appeal at the prices. Henry Daly's gelding has been steadily progressive over fences and is still lightly raced. He bumped into a decent sort at Bangor last time but was well clear of the rest and this looks like a nice spot for him.

14:53, BetMGM Holloway's Handicap Hurdle

Came From Nowhere 11/4, 3pts win

I quite fancied Jeremy Scott's up and coming 7 year old for the Lanzarote last week but he was pulled out due to the ground. He looked like a very progressive horse when bolting up at Hereford last time out and should be up to claiming this on the back of that.
