What a great days’ racing we have today with meetings at Wetherby, Ascot and Ayr plus a couple of nice race's over at Down Royal.

We begin with the United House Gold Cup Handicap Chase, a Grade 3 event at Ascot where Ace High is a solid e/w bet at 5/1, I'm very keen on this horse and believe he will make a very good chaser in time and off 142 here he will take some stopping, I will be following him over the course of the season and think this race is his early season target. 
Staying at Ascot for my next bet which is in the 1615 NHF race where Rebecca Curtis's runner merits the upmost respect. Amifunnyyet made an encouraging debut three weeks ago and improvement looks a formality. 

Over to Wetherby and I like the look of Fill The Power in the 3m1f novice chase, he jumped well on his chase debut at Sedgefield, goes well fresh and his trainers chasers are running well at the moment. Keep an eye on Knockando with a view to the future as im sure this old fashioned chasing type will do well now he's been switched to fences.
Onto the feature race of the day the Charlie Hall Chase and im drawn to Time For Rupert as a value bet against the likely winner and favourite Silviniaco Conti. Time For Rupert ran well on a couple of occasions last season and he's always promised to be top class. He finished second in this race last year and can give the favourite the most to think about.
