Dave Nevison's Friday tips: "she looks capable of following up"

Our top tipster Dave Nevison shares his three best bets across Ascot and Haydock, with every contest from the Merseyside venue live on Racing TV.
1.55 Ascot: Dannick
Dannick is probably in even better form than his recent strong form figures suggest and is undeniably favourably handicapped and can win his third race from his last five runs.
The Moore’s four-year-old should have won at Southwell three runs ago but made up for that luckless run with a comfortable win in an apprentices’ handicap at Lingfield.
He has no penalty for that win and is actually off a mark lower than he was placed at Ascot last summer.
The rider claims 7lbs and is an unknown to me, but she has a good pedigree being Jim Crowley’s daughter so I am happy to go with her.

4.20 Haydock: Cypriot Diaspora
This Rod Millman-trained mare hit form at exactly the same time last year, winning at the end of August on easy ground and backing up on her next start.
She got her head in front again at Ffos Las last time out and definitely looks capable of following up again in this.
She is well drawn for a front runner in stall two and obviously gets on well with Ryan Kavanagh who was on board for her last time out win. Trip and ground look ideal.

4.48 Ascot: Hickory
There is no doubt that Hickory and Saffie Osborne are a winning combination on the straight mile at Ascot with his latest three victories all being over this track (and on a variety of going in case the rains come).
It seems generous, therefore, that bookies are offering 10-1 odds with four places available.
The eight-year-old gelding is only a couple of pounds higher than his latest win on his penultimate start and actually ran really well to be first home on his side at Newmarket’s July course (never won there), so still looks to be in good form.
