• Completely free bet on any sport on Boxing Day

Ascot offer two great days of National Hunt racing across Friday and Saturday and Team Ditcheat have 12 runners across the meeting.

Paul Nicholls discusssed both days with James Mackie and here's a summary of what the Betfair ambassador had to say about Saturday, starting with Wrappedupinmay in the 12:40 race.

"Wrappedupinmay ran very well at Exeter last time. A mark of 118 was fair. He has a big chance."

Solo is odds on in the 13:15 race and Paul said:

"He won the Kempton novice chase over two-and-a-half at Kempton last year and this trip is fine for him. This was the obvious race for him. He seems very well at home."

Long Walk Hurdle pair have good chances

Blueking d'Oroux has been seriously progressive this year and runs in the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle at 14:25.

Paul said: "His first run was over two miles at Cheltenham, then it was two-and-a-half last time at Ascot, and now he's going up to three miles. He is a four-year-old and I'd be more confident if he were five. Saying that, two four-year-olds have won this race. He is working well."

Team Ditcheat also have Red Risk in the race. Is there more to come from him?

Paul said: "At his age you would probably question that. But he ran well at Wetherby and the form of the race has worked out well. He needs to take another step forward."
