Dee Ee Williams and Saturdays Action

Dee Ee Williams won in very good fashion at Ascot yesterday and boosted his supreme novice credentials. What seemed even more impressive was that trainer N Gifford said he is still running green and experienced. Given that he has already won at Cheltenham, i would be backing him at the 25/1 on offer.

There is very good jumps action from Ascot and Haydock tomorrow, with a decent Huntingdon card as well. In the 2-05 at Haydock i fancy Alfie Fits, who finished 4th behind Dee Ee Williams in that extremely hot maiden and that form has been franked. Ungaro can run well in the next on his return to hurdles, he won a grade 3 hurdle and can score here off a fair weight. Binocular looks a dead cert for the Betfair hurdle. As does Kauto Star in the chase but Exotic Dancer and Cloudy Lane could be ready to strike if he fails to deliver. I Hear Thunder can win the big handicap chase off bottom weight after two consistent second places. 

Down at Ascot, in the first I fancy Free World, who showed markable improvement to finish second last time out and he can build on that with a good run here. The consistent Lord Henry can run into a place at least after his second to Andreas off level weights but now gets 9lb and that should be enough to score here. Chomba Womba and Franchoek can put in a good showing in the Coral Hurdle and both should make the frame. Possol can win the Intermediate handicap chase after his narrow victory over Oslot and now gets weight from him.
