Horse Racing Tip Gigaset International Handicap

The highlight on Saturday’s card at Ascot is the £1.15 million King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes which should go the way of the odds-on favourite Postponed providing Roger Varian’s inmate is in the same kind of form as when easily winning the Coronation Cup on Derby Day. But from a betting perspective the Gigaset International Handicap at 3.20 provides the day’s most difficult puzzle with a maximum field of 29 almost guaranteed to be charging up the Ascot straight in the seven furlong contest.

Unlucky Royal Hunt Cup runner-up Librisa Breeze is sure to prove popular with punters along with Bunbury Cup second and third Heaven’s Guest and Mutawathea. However, the free tip is to take an each-way punt on Get Knotted at the sporting value odds of 33-1 available with Coral.

The Michael Dods-trained gelding was in cracking form at this time last year after unfortunately unseating his rider with the race at his mercy at Haydock back in May, winning contests at  both Carlisle and Ayr. More meritorious however was a third place finish at York's Ebor meeting behind subsequent Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes hero My Dream Boat off a 4lb lower mark than the four-year-old will carry this weekend. Bogged down on his seasonal reappearance at Nottingham Get Knotted has done little wrong in his last four runs, winning at Thirsk and going down narrowly at York last month the horse's best two efforts. Providing the consistent son of Windsor Knot takes to the Berkshire track the northern challenger looks way overpriced to lift the £150 contest. As the horse also hold an entry at York on Saturday it may be wise to hold fire until confirmed for Ascot before getting involved financially.
