• Flat Course

The flat course at Ascot is a right-handed course that includes a straight mile and the Old Mile course, which joins the round course at the famous Swinley Bottom entrance. Due to its short run in, if not racing on the straight mile, runners leading from the front tend to have a strong chance. However, given the recent developments to the course, the going conditions can vary from day to day.

Ascot's National Hunt Course

The National Hunt Course is also run right-handed, and thanks to the drainage now available on the course, it offers betting running conditions than previously. The fences on the far side of the track can prove the most tricky, but if horses are front runners in small fields, they may not be caught.

Many National Hunt trainers pinpoint the Christmas Meeting at Ascot as preparation for Cheltenham. The current leading trainers on the chase course are Paul Nicholls and Nicky Henderson, with both of those alongside Dan Skelton ranking in the top three in hurdle wins.

Ascot Top Flat Trainers

Ascot Tips FAQs

How many races can I add into my bet slip?

Technically, you can add up to 20 races into your bet slip at any time. In this regard, the Horse Racing market is no different to the likes of football and cricket, you can add up to 20 selections in your accumulator. However, as Horse Racing bets are less likely to come off than football bets, we recommend steering clear of 20 horse accumulators. If you're going to create an accumulator for a full days worth of racing, we recommend an each way bet to back the seven races in a single day at Ascot.

What is the most prestigious race at Ascot?

The most prestigious race at Ascot takes place on the final day of Royal Ascot and this is the feature race of the day. Known as the Jubilee Stakes, this Group One contest hosts sprinters over six furlongs, the winner of this race in 2023 was Khaadem.
