14:20 Ascot — Race Preview & Tips

We're tipping Shiplake in the 14:20 at Ascot — a Flat race with 29 runners on Good going.

A look at the form — 2274361-1 — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.

Kevin Philippart de Foy has been in fine form and teams up with David Egan, a combination that demands respect.

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

Key angle: Won last time out.

An official mark of 92 looks workable in this grade.

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