Ascot Racing Tips 14 Nov 2026: Bassett Hound Again?

Overview

Bassett Hound has won five races in a row on its form line, and three of its five Ascot starts have been wins. On Saturday it jumps from barrier 1 in the Colonel Reeves Stakes with 55kg. Five course starts, three wins, four placings. That is the most persuasive profile on a ten race card packed with feature races.

The other thread running through the day is a partnership. Lucy Fiore and the D L Morton stable have combined for 11 winners from 36 rides at Ascot, and two thirds of those rides have finished in the first three. They team up with Immortal Bliss in the Colonel Reeves and Afireofgidgeecoals in the Placid Ark Stakes, and both horses have the course form to back the booking.

These Ascot racing tips cover all ten races on a Good to Soft track, from the 1500m opener at 11:59AM through to the R.J. Peters Stakes at 5:35PM (all times local). There is a pick in every race, the course numbers that matter, and the bets we would actually have. Bookmaker markets were not open when this was written, so no prices are quoted.

Reading the Ascot card

Ascot is one of those tracks where course form actually stacks up, and a busy Saturday card brings plenty of horses with three or more runs here. These are the ones with real samples behind them.

The riding table is where Ascot gets interesting. W Pike does not ride the most, but more than half of the Pike rides here finish in the first three. Chris Parnham and Lucy Fiore have the wins, with 32 and 34 respectively.

Among the stables, Mitchell Pateman wins with better than one in four Ascot runners, and the stable has six horses on the card. N D Parnham sends the biggest team but wins with fewer than one in ten here.

Ascot racing tips: race by race

Race 1: Tunnel Vision (Rs0ly), 11:59AM, 1500m

Show The Way has won two of its three runs over the past 90 days, and it comes from a stable that knows what to do with a horse in form. The last run was an eighth, which is the one blot, but the two runs before it were both wins and this is a restricted race where the bar is low.

Laqdar Ramoly rides for N D Parnham, and barrier 3 means Ramoly can sit handy without spending petrol over the 1500m.

Properata is the one we respect most. It has finished in the first three in all four of its runs over the past 90 days without winning, and Lucy Fiore takes the ride from barrier 4. If Show The Way‘s last start is the real form, Properata wins this. Show The Way each-way, with Properata in the exacta.

Race 2: Drummond Golf (Bm66+), 12:34PM, 1000m

Does course form or current form win a 1000m dash? Kings Court has the course record, three wins from six runs at Ascot, but neither of its two runs in the past 90 days finished in the first three.

Have A Crack has the current form. It won its only start in the past 90 days and won its only start at the track, and Holly Watson rides for Mitchell Pateman. That combination has 8 winners from 33 rides at Ascot. Barrier 6 is fine over the short trip.

First Beach also won its only run in the past 90 days and gets in with 55.5kg, so it is the danger. Have A Crack to win, small saver on First Beach.

Race 3: Pkf Perth (Rs1mw), 1:09PM, 1200m

Delzee does not do much wrong. Three runs in the past 90 days, three times in the first three, one of them a win, and it has placed in both of its starts at Ascot with a win among them. Natasha Faithfull rides for Summer Dickson.

The barrier is the concern. Gate 12 in a field of 12 means Faithfull has a decision to make early, and over 1200m that can cost a length or two.

Market Snitz is the threat that the weights create. It won its only start in the past 90 days and drops in with 53.5kg under Jefferson Tsang for Simon Miller. That Is Justice also won its only start. Delzee each-way, and keep Market Snitz in exotics.

Race 4: Prestige Property Maintenance (Rs1mw), 1:49PM, 1800m

Seventeen runners over 1800m, and this is the race where consistency matters more than brilliance. I’m Nipote has finished in the first three in all five of its runs over the past 90 days, with a win, and has placed in all four of its Ascot starts. Lucy Fiore rides for B S Seinor from barrier 12.

That is the profile we want in a big staying field: a horse that runs its race every time. The wide gate means Fiore will probably drop in and come wide, but I’m Nipote has been doing exactly that and still hitting the frame.

Streamlined is the danger with two wins from five in the past 90 days and W Pike in the saddle. Admire Astra deserves a mention for a different reason: five placings from six Ascot starts and still no win here. It will probably fill a place again. I’m Nipote to win, Admire Astra for the trifecta.

Race 5: Bisley Workwear (Bm72+), 2:28PM, 1600m

The weights shape this one. Yougivemechills gets in with 53kg in a race where the top weight carries 59.5kg, and it is a course specialist: three wins from five Ascot starts. It also won one of its three runs in the past 90 days. Natika Portelli rides for Simon Miller from barrier 2.

That inside gate and light weight over 1600m make a lovely combination. Portelli can hold a spot on the fence and wait.

Linchpin is the danger. It has two wins from seven Ascot starts and finished in the first three in both of its runs over the past 90 days, including a win. B Parnham rides from barrier 7. Street Band has placed four times from six starts here without winning and is another one for the place money. Yougivemechills to win.

Race 6: Jungle Mist Classic, 3:05PM, 1200m

Cinque Stelle has won both of its runs in the past 90 days, and one of those wins came at Ascot. The form line reads like a horse on the way up, with four wins in its last four starts, and W Pike rides for Steele Casey from barrier 6.

There is not much course or recent data behind several of these. Ladies Pro, Drakaina and Zourun Run have no runs in the past 90 days on record, so they are judged on the form line alone. Zourun Run has Chris Parnham and an inside gate, which is enough to keep it in mind.

Spicy Thang is the one that keeps turning up. It has placed in both of its Ascot starts and the form line is a string of seconds. S Parnham rides for T M Andrews, a stable that wins with about one in five of its runners here. Cinque Stelle to win, Spicy Thang the saver.

Race 7: A Class Earthmoving – Colonel Reeves Stakes, 3:45PM, 1100m

This is the race of the day for us, and the reasoning is simple. Bassett Hound has won its last five on the form line, both of its runs in the past 90 days, and three of its five starts at Ascot. Those 90 day wins were worth more than $87,000, so this is not a horse feasting on weak races.

Barrier 1 over 1100m, 55kg, and P Carbery riding for Mitchell Pateman, the best strike rate of the big Ascot stables. Carbery can hold the rail, take a sit behind whatever leads and pick a gap at the top of the straight.

Immortal Bliss is the one to beat. It has placed in all three Ascot runs with a win and in both of its runs over the past 90 days, and those two placings were worth more than $127,000. Lucy Fiore and D L Morton combine again. Talkanco won its only run in the past 90 days and is the next best. Bassett Hound to win, the main bet on the card.

Race 8: Quayclean – W.A. Champion Fillies Stakes, 4:22PM, 1600m

Profit Motive has won both of its runs in the past 90 days and won its only start at Ascot. It is lightly raced, with only three runs on the form line, and Holly Watson rides for Pateman again from barrier 12.

Treasured Legacy is the steadier option. It has finished in the first three in all five of its runs over the past 90 days, winning two, and has placed in both of its Ascot starts. The problem is barrier 15, and W Pike will have to work out a way to get cover in a 16 runner fillies race over 1600m.

We side with Profit Motive because it is unbeaten in recent runs and still improving, but Treasured Legacy is the safer each-way bet. Flying In The Wind, with two wins from three in the past 90 days, is the roughie. Profit Motive to win, Treasured Legacy each-way.

Race 9: Tabtouch – Placid Ark Stakes, 5:00PM, 1200m

Afireofgidgeecoals has never missed the first three at Ascot. Six starts here, six placings, two wins. In a 17 runner field that kind of reliability is gold, and it has placed in both runs over the past 90 days as well.

Lucy Fiore rides for D L Morton, the partnership that wins with nearly one in three of its Ascot rides, and barrier 7 is workable.

The danger list is long. Gaintree has three placings from three runs in the past 90 days, including a win, and draws barrier 2 with 55kg. Official Business has two wins from six recent runs but has to come from barrier 19. Juniper has placed in all four of its recent runs from the inside gate. Afireofgidgeecoals to win, with Gaintree the value saver.

Race 10: Leveltek – R.J. Peters Stakes, 5:35PM, 1500m

Two horses, two perfect Ascot records. Western Miss has won both of its starts here and both of its runs in the past 90 days. Rock Fest has done exactly the same. One is drawn 6 with W Pike, the other drawn 4 with Chris Parnham.

We split them on the stable form and the rider. W Pike places on more than half of Ascot rides and Michael Grantham has a strike rate of nearly one in five here. Western Miss also has five wins from the six runs on its form line.

Rock Fest is clearly the danger, and Too Darn Stormy, with two wins from four in the past 90 days and three placings from five here, is the one to include in exotics. Western Miss to win, exacta with Rock Fest both ways.
