Speculate 2 Accumulate

Tips for Friday 12th May

By B Nicholls

Ascot 5.35 3 Swashbuckle - win @ 7/2 / Nottingham 6.50 8 House Of Commons - each way @ 10/1

The Balding yard is flying at SWASHBUCKLE has a fitness advantage over his rivals here;
a drop back to 2 miles should be no problem and the likes of Oceane and Graceland may not want any rain at
all whilst Handiwork may be done winning for now, the bigger danger could be Medburn Cuttler. At Nottingham
the Mick Appleby runners are always worth a second look and HOUSE OF COMMONS is likely to be ridden with
far more restraint than last time. That looked like a classic prep run to me and with strong AW form on the beach
at Southwell, I don't think any rain would be too concerning here, a nice each way price.
