Today’s Daily Nap

TAMFANA

Ascot 3.15 (UK time)

David Menuisier’s classy performer has now won 4 of her 9 career starts, and comes here at the very top of her game after impressive victories at Sandown and Ascot. Soft ground will be no issue at all under the champion-elect Oisin Murphy, and the yard have been in superb form as the turf season draws to an end.

Karl Burke has enjoyed a stellar breakthrough season, and his battle-hardened tough sprinter deserves to get his head in front after some cracking efforts throughout the summer at the highest level.

ITV Racing Tips – Saturday October 19th

Time (UK)	Track	Horse	Analysis
1:20	Ascot	KYPRIOS	Aidan O’Brien’s superstar stayer has dominated this division all season, and he is sure to get a typically positive attacking ride here from Ryan Moore. He stays further than this sapping 2m trip, and is sure to be extremely hard to pass up the straight if still at his peak at this late stage.
1:55	Ascot	SWINGALONG	Karl Burke has enjoyed a stellar breakthrough season, and his battle-hardened tough sprinter deserves to get his head in front after some cracking efforts throughout the summer at the highest level. The booking of the excellent Billy Loughnane is a plus, and the deep ground will be no issue at all.
2:35	Ascot	TIFFANY	Sir Mark Prescott’s progressive filly has not stopped improving all season, and can land this prestigious Group 1 prize against some more exposed rivals.
3:15	Ascot	TAMFANA	David Menuisier’s classy performer has now won 4 of her 9 career starts, and comes here at the very top of her game after impressive victories at Sandown and Newmarket. Soft ground will be no issue at all under the champion-elect Oisin Murphy, and the yard have been in superb form as the turf season draws to an end.
3:55	Ascot	CALANDAGAN	This French raider has now won 4 of his 7 career starts, posting a cracking effort in defeat when last seen out behind City of Troy at York in August. He will relish these much softer conditions expected at Ascot on Saturday, and his proven turn of foot should be a real asset at the business end.
4:35	Ascot	CARRYTHEONE	Michael Bell’s handicapper has largely run with credit in all of these hot Saturday contests throughout the summer, and has optimum conditions to reward each-way support here in a huge field. The first time booking of the top class Christophe Soumillon catches the eye, and he will be looking to weave his way through late off a fast pace in the deep ground.
