16:20 Ascot — Race Preview & Tips

We're tipping Combustion in the 16:20 at Ascot — a Flat race with 17 runners on Good going.

A look at the form — 1123-1112 — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.

Chelsea Banham has been in fine form and teams up with Joey Haynes, a combination that demands respect.

These conditions — Good ground over — look tailor-made for the selection.

Key angle: Consistent — placed 5 of last 5 runs.

An official mark of 77 looks workable in this grade.

For each-way purposes, Artagnan merits consideration as a place alternative.
