16:40 Ascot — Race Preview & Tips

Tokyo Joe is our selection for the 16:40 16:40 Ascot at Ascot, a Flat contest on Good ground.

The form figures of 42435821- include a victory that confirms this one is in good heart.

The Ed Walker/Kieran Shoemark partnership is one to follow, and they will fancy their chances here.

The Good going should suit, and with the draw in stall taken into account, conditions look favourable.

Key angle: Won last time out.

Rated 71, the handicapper may have left a bit in hand.

Arantes Nascimento is the each-way option — a solid claim for a frame finish.
