13:50 ascot - ResultsFriday 19th December 2025

VANDERPOEL (4) registered a solid second twenty two days ago at Lingfield. That result was on the back of a sound effort at Uttoxeter the outing before. Sure to be thereabouts again. EXCELERO (3) is a reliable performer who needed his first run of the season and then won by 9L at Warwick last time. Only needs to jump well to be right in this. STENCIL (2) returned from a layoff in the G2 November Novices Chase at Cheltenham finishing fifth. Holds ability and could play a role eased in grade. BLUEY (1) scored at Kempton Park two starts back. Did a fair job attempting latest beaten 4. 5L at Newbury. Worth giving another chance.
