Oli Bell: Saturday best bets for Cheltenham and Doncaster


Oli Bell with his best bets for Saturday with selections at Ascot, Haydock and Taunton.

Activial
Has made a bright start to life under Tom George, chasing home Kildisart at Ascot last time. Looks set to run a big race here despite top weight and makes each-way appeal in a competitive heat.

Elegant Escape
Thriving this season, winning the Welsh National at Chepstow after chasing home Sizing Tennessee in the Ladbrokes Trophy. Has no stamina questions to answer unlike a couple of his rivals.

Willie Boy
Very impressive at Wetherby last time and potential improver going up to three miles here. His pedigree suggests he will be suited by the trip and trainer has good record of horses hitting the frame in this.

Black Op
Switches back to timber after two chase starts and can potentially go to the top in the staying division. Ran well behind Samcro here in the Ballymore in March and can put himself firmly in the Stayers' Hurdle picture.
