A busy Saturday with Ascot's Shergar Cup taking centre stage. Here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.
Ascot
J: Marie Velon
T: R Hannon
Houstonn showed some good form last season in maiden and novice company and returned to action this term with a good 5th of 12 at Newbury. Connections subsequently gelded him and that seemed to have a positive effect has he went onto win next time out at Windsor, beating a fair sort into 2nd and 7 1/2 lengths back to the 3rd. That run was over 1m2f and he looks just the type of horse to improve further now stepped up to 1m4f (damn stayed 1m6f). Being lightly raced and in good hands Houstonn can go close today. Houstonn rates a 4 star each way Pick.
