Free racing tips for Friday’s action – Tom Marquand is cooking on Gaassee

Tom Marquand can warm up for Glorious Goodwood next week by steering GAASSEE (3.35, nap) to success at Ascot on Friday.

The five year old remains lightly raced but has won four of his 10 races.

He won’t mind the soft ground and was a solid fourth in the Old Newton Cup on his latest run despite running too freely.

He is best priced 15-8 with William Hill at the time of writing.

AL HARGAH (7.02, nb) bumped into a blot on the handicap on her latest start but was going on strongly at the finish.

Richard Hannon’s filly will appreciate the extra two furlongs at Newmarket tonight.

CHAT UP LINE (3.10, trb) won cosily at Nottingham 10 days ago and can defy a penalty at Thirsk.

Back at Ascot there is a good word for Charlie Fellowes' GUTSY GIRL (1.50) in the opener while Kevin Ryan thinks a lot of APIARIST (6.05) at York tonight.

SPARKS FLY (7.15), who has won six on the bounce, has been one of the stories of the season and she could make it seven in the Listed Lyric Stakes at York on her favoured soft ground.

Jason Heavey is the reigning Racing Post Naps Table champ and Chief Tipster on the Daily Star.
