The Final Furlong Podcast Weekend Betting Guide is back, and this is a stacked Saturday across Ascot, Haydock and Wincanton.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, George Gorman and Peter Michael to preview every major ITV race, with strong opinions, big-priced handicaps and Grade 1 headliners.

🟥 3:35 Ascot – Ascot Chase (Grade 1) – 2m5f

Jonbon is unbeaten in three starts at Ascot and goes for his 12th Grade 1 victory. Standing in his way is Pic D’Orhy, bidding for a third consecutive win in this race. Does Jonbon extend his Ascot dominance, or is this Pic D’Orhy’s race again?

🟦 1:15 Ascot – Novices’ Hurdle – 2m3½f

One of George’s strongest fancies of the entire weekend runs here and is currently available at 4/1 with 1xBet Ireland.

🟩 1:35 Wincanton – Kingwell Hurdle (G2) – 1m7f

Could Alexi force his way into the Champion Hurdle conversation in a clash with Paul Nicholls’ Rubaud?

🟨 1:50 Ascot – Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase (G2) – 3m

Is Thomas Mor a good thing after his Grade 1 second last time, or could soft ground blunt his edge?

🟧 2:05 Haydock – Rendlesham Hurdle (G2) – 3m½f

Kabral Du Mathan looks set to go off red hot favourite. But could old friend of the show French Ship turn this into a proper stamina test and cause an upset?

💰 Handicap Plays & Big-Price Angles

2:25 Ascot – Exchange Handicap Hurdle Andy Newton puts forward a strong 6/1 bet.

2:40 Haydock – Albert Bartlett Prestige Novices’ Hurdle (G2) A competitive renewal with 5/1 and 7/2 selections highlighted.

3:00 Ascot – Swinley Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) Two lively 12/1 shots make serious appeal.

3:15 Haydock – Grand National Trial (Premier Handicap)
