Today was my debut on the new Gambla racing podcast where we discussed all of today's races that feature live on ITV Racing and I picked out my 5 best tips of the day.

My bet of the day is probably GLASVEGAS (2.55pm Redcar) in the valuable Two Year Old Trophy where a big chunk of the field just aren't good enough so we can get some each way value on Glasvegas who will enjoy the soft ground and is in great form.
In the big handicap at Ascot I like my old pal Escobar and also think that Summerghand will go close but the best value bet is QAYSAR (3.10pm Ascot) who is in fine form, will be happy on the soft ground and can put previous poor performances at Ascot behind him with a big run at a massive price.
