Horse Racing Saturday’s Horse Racing Tips: Ascot Haydock, December 21st
Today’s Racing Tips – December 21st
The ITV cameras focus on a cracking pre-Christmas card at Ascot on Saturday, with a terrific mix of competitive and valuable handicaps (alongside the Grade 1 Long Walk stayers hurdle) sure to set punters a stern challenge. Haydock also stage action, with a huge crowd assured and the Tommy Whittle Chase a fascinating renewal this year.

Today’s Daily Nap
SECRET SQUIRREL
Ascot 3.35 (UK time)
Hughie Morrison’s handicapper remains with upside after just six career starts over hurdles, and this test of speed on decent ground should be his optimum conditions. David Bass knows his quirks well, and he can pounce after the last with a clean run through from off the pace (after a very promising third behind Our Champ over this course and distance at the start of November).
Odds: 8.00
Today’s Value Angle
EAST STREET
Haydock 2.05 (UK time)
James Owen’s stayer is far from exposed granted a proper test of stamina for these connections, and showed Haydock suited when winning here earlier in the month. The 7lb claimer Callum Pritchard is again booked and is riding at the very top of his game, and a strongly run race in the mud should set things up ideally for him to swoop late up the long straight.
Odds: 9.00
ITV Racing Tips – Saturday December 21st
| Time (UK) | Track | Horse | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:50 | Ascot | IROKO | Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriro are a progressive training team to follow, and their very exciting young chaser lost no caste at all in defeat when touched off in the mud on his seasonal reappearance at Haydock last month. He might just tighten up a touch for that run, and the better ground assured at Ascot on Saturday should be ideal under Jonjo O’Neil jr. |
| 2:05 | Haydock | EAST STREET | James Owen’s stayer is far from exposed granted a proper test of stamina for these connections, and showed Haydock suited when winning here earlier in the month. The 7lb claimer Callum Pritchard is again booked and is riding at the very top of his game, and a strongly run race in the mud should set things up ideally for him to swoop late up the long straight. |
| 2:25 | Ascot | KATEIRA | Dan Skelton’s classy mare is a smooth traveller with a turn of foot, and the decent ground conditions at Ascot on Saturday should suit her ideally under Harry Skelton. The 6lb mares allowance all round should be a big positive to her chances, and the relative emphasis on speed round here should suit against some more staying types. |
| 2:40 | Haydock | HOLLOWAY QUEEN | Nicky Henderson’s always has a very strong hand in the mares division, and he has made no secret of the regard in which he holds this unbeaten novice hurdler. |
| 3:00 | Ascot | FLEGMATIK | Dan Skelton remains in blustering form with a remarkable 17 winners in the last fortnight, and his consistent handicapper has been running himself into form from a falling mark so far this winter (weak in the market and never really landing a blow from off the pace). |
| 3:15 | Haydock | CASTLE RUSHEN | Nicky Richards stayer returned better than ever when winning at Carlisle in November, and his latest fourth at 33/1 came in a very strong Haydock premier handicap (travelled typically on the bridle/just one paced from three out). A patient ride from Hughes is on the cards, and he should get the strong gallop up front that he needs. |
| 3:35 | Ascot | SECRET SQUIRREL | Hughie Morrison’s handicapper remains with upside after just six career starts over hurdles, and this test of speed on decent ground should be his optimum conditions. David Bass knows his quirks well, and he can pounce after the last with a clean run through from off the pace (after a very promising third behind Our Champ over this course and distance at the start of November). |
