Song to hit the high notes | ITV7 guide for the free-to-play game with a £50k jackpot


There's £50,000 on offer in this weekend's free-to-play ITV7 and Dave Smith has the guide you need for the crucial races.

13:50 Ascot - Bateaux London Reynoldstown Novices' Chase (Grade 2) (GBB Race) - 2m 7f 180y

Things didn't exactly go the way of SEVARANO at Newbury last time out and a shuddering mistake at the first rocked his confidence. He was staying on in the closing stages so this step up in trip should suit. Connections of Remastered retain the faith, moving him into this company and Hurricane Harvey is not without a chance, whilst Kalooki jumped markedly left handed last time at Kempton.


14:05 Haydock - William Hill Rendlesham Hurdle (Grade 2) (GBB Race) - 3m 58y

Although On The Blind Side should be well found at the top of the market, it's notable that Nico de Boinville goes to Ascot for a smaller prize and only one ride. EMITOM appears to be a consistent animal with proven stamina at this distance, exemplified by a fine run in March at the festival. He's the reigning champion and reverts back to hurdles after going chasing.


14:25 Ascot - 'My Oddsboost' On Betfair Swinley Chase (Listed Limited Handicap) (GBB Race) - 2m 7f 180y

Owner JP McManus has a strong hand in this and Jerrysback will be a warm order whilst Regal Encore remains on the same mark as he was when finishing a commendable third last year. Both may just be pipped by KAPCORSE who was viewed as a potential cup horse when last seen in 2018. He missed last season and will be stripped fitter for his return to the track. His trainer has a remarkable record around here.

14:40 Haydock - William Hill Grand National Trial Handicap Chase (Grade 3) (GBB Race) - 3m 4f 97y

NOTACHANCE was impressive when scoring at Warwick last time out. He possibly hit the front too soon and was made to work hard to claim victory, but he was well fancied beforehand. He's a sound jumper, as is Sojourn and he'll still find competition from Anthony Honeyball's charge. The Two Amigos' mark continues to rise without landing a prize he deserves and Enqarde is in off a feather weight.


15:00 Ascot - Betfair Cheltenham Free Bet Pot Builder Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) - 2m 3f 58y

A mix of good course form, a relenting from the handicapper and a step back up in trip should help MALAYA run another big race in Berkshire. This would be a hat-trick of smart performances in this contest and he's taken to defy the claims of Kateson and Stolen Silver who really does need to live up to potential sooner rather than later.


15:18 Wincanton - Betway Kingwell Hurdle (Grade 2) (GBB Race) - 1m 7f 65y

The question for punters here is clearly around which Goshen will turn up. He scooted miles clear in the JLT last March before breaking the hearts of all concerned when coming down at the final obstacle. He's flattered to deceive since and he may well come up short again here with SONG FOR SOMEONE taken to defy the 6lb he has to shoulder against his market rival. He was a taking scorer of a Grade 2 contest before following that up at Cheltenham; he's a worthy favourite.


15:35 Ascot - Betfair Ascot Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race) - 2m 5f 8y

CYRNAME didn't get going at all in the King George but he loves it around here and may well have unbeaten form figures were it not for a fall. He's a past winner of this and though he's likely to be a popular selection, he should have too much for Master Tommytucker, just.
