Horse Racing tips today: Horses you MUST back Ascot, Lingfield and Taunton | Racing | Sport

“We have to keep an eye on these things and Valtor’s blood picture came back this morning and it wasn’t 100 per cent, so he’s a non-runner in the Peter Marsh Chase,” said the champion trainer.

Henderson had also hoped to run Angels Breath’s at Haydock but he now will miss the race. Henderson has back-up in Mister Fisher who now runs the Grade Two event.

But Henderson is not panicking about running his superstar Altior at Ascot today. RED INFANTRY (3.15, nap) can benfit from the late withdrawal of Valtor in the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock. He finished an excellent second behind the smart Morney Wing at Sandown last month.

Connections of One For Arthur, winner of the 2017 Grand National, will be hoping for an improved run from the 10-year-old.

On his return from a tendon injury he lost his rider after jumping only three fences at Aintree last month.

Tom Scudamore, who was unseated from One For Arthur, partners the danger in Daklondike.

He beat Ballyarthur, who renews rivalry today, with something in hand at Haydock last month.

Henderson can start the day on a winning note with MISTER FISHER (2.05.

He impressed when winning at Kempton on Boxing Day.

With the absence of the Henderson-trained Brain Power in the Champion Hurdle Trial, Silver Streak (2.40) can take the prize.

Charles Byrnes, one of the shrewdest trainers in Ireland, can make it a winning visit to Ascot with Thosedaysaregone (2.25, treble).
