TACTICIAN (2.25 Ascot, nap)

He did everything but win here last time and Oisin Murphy was kicking himself after a near miss. He still looks very well treated and should make amends here.

LONE PIPER (7.35 Sandown, nb)

Can play a winning tune for in-form Tom Clover. He was just denied on his handicap debut behind a winning machine and should kick on now.

BALTIC (4.10 Ascot, treble)

Can leave the bookies cold with a fourth win on the trot. He has proven his versatility and still has the handicapper on the run.
