Swinley Chase 2027 Betting Odds

Saturday 13 February 2027 · Ascot · By Matthew Glazier

King's Threshold runs for Emma Lavelle and the horse might well go off as favourite in the Swinley Handicap Chase. Montregard has twice been in the winners' enclosure for Tom Lacey and the seven-year-old certainly has the credentials to run a big race here. The same goes for Nocte Volatus who continues to operate at a high level at the age of eleven.

In d'Or runs for Fergal O'Brien and the eight-year-old is trading at a similar price to Jipcot who could be well handicapped for this encounter. Rivers Corner was in the winners' enclosure last time out and the Joe Tizzard-trained runner has regularly run into the frame this season and this horse is also well weighted.

2026 Swinley Handicap Chase Betting Tips

There's an intriguing tussle over three miles at Ascot Racecourse this Saturday, with this race being the fourth race on the card. King's Threshold landed a festive win at Newbury in December when obliging over three miles and two furlongs. This was on good ground and came after a spirited effort at Newbury when finishing fourth in a field of twelve.

Montregard returns to Ascot after previously winning at the track in November, with the 4/1 shot obliging over three miles. The runner was then pulled up at Kempton Park in December but returned to form when performing well on soft ground back at Ascot. There was only two lengths separating The Jukebox Kid from the runner on soft ground.

Nocte Volatus is one of the older horses in the field and the eleven-year-old has scored consecutive successes which means he has to be respected. Tom Lacey trains a charge who was able to oblige at Sandown in early January, with the 11/4 favourite obliging over three miles on good ground. That came after a November success at Warwick.

In d'Or has consecutive third-placed finishes this term, with Fergal O'Brien saddling a horse that finished third out of eleven horses at Ascot in January. That came after running well at Sandown Park in December, with Jipcot being a talented seven-year-old that ran well at Leicester to come up with a victory last time out.


2025 Betfair Swinley Handicap Chase Tips

There are some great odds for the Betfair Swinley Handicap Chase, with Victtorino having won last time out. The seven-year-old was last seen triumphing at Ascot just before Christmas, with this Silver Cup Handicap Chase victory seeing a half-length success for the Venetia Williams-trained charge after finishing third out of thirteen runners at Newbury.

The former is trading at a similar price to Hasthing, with the Jonjo O’Neill-trained horse having landed a victory in the previous two outings. There was a January success at Windsor where the charge obliged as the 6/4 favourite against thirteen other runners. That came after a success at the same track in December and there could be more to come.

Katate Dori is among the market leaders, with Sam Thomas training a runner who secured consecutive victories before finishing second last time out. That came at Wincanton after previously obliging at Chepstow at the beginning of January. There was also a twelve length success on New Year’s Day at Exeter to cement his credentials.

Terresita has landed two victories this season and they took place either side of finishing third at Ascot in November. It was a solid effort in a handicap chase over two miles and five furlongs, with the latest victory taking place as recently as 18 January where the horse was able to succeed by over four lengths.


2024 Swinley Handicap Chase Tips

There will be no more than seventeen runners lining up in the Swinley Handicap Chase, with Kilbeg King trading as one of the favourites to win this race. There have been three third-placed finishes from the nine-year-old who has been assigned a weight of 11-4 for this encounter, with a solid showing in the Kauto Star Novices’ Chase last time out.

Sent off as the 28/1 outsider, it was a solid performance over three miles on good ground, with Threeunderthrufive available at a similar price for this race. Paul Nicholls trains a nine-year-old who has recorded back to back runner-up displays this season. Harry Cobden will be on board a charge who finished second out of eight runners at Cheltenham in December.

Victtorino landed consecutive successes before finishing seventh last time out. That was in a competitive handicap chase over two miles, four and a half furlongs following successive wins at Ascot. There was a win in the Silver Cup Handicap Chase over three miles and that came after a surprise win at the beginning of November when sent off at 20/1.

Iron Bridge could go off a favourable mark and the Jonjo O’Neill-trained runner has definite potential, with the eight-year-old having finished second last time around. In a field of nineteen runners, only winner Nassalam was able to triumph ahead of him in the Welsh Grand National and he was one of the few horses that managed to stay the long trip at Chepstow in testing conditions.


2023 Swinley Chase Betting Tips

The LK Bennett Swinley Handicap Chase takes place at Ascot Racecourse on Saturday 18 February, with the runners and riders competing over three miles on good ground. There are fourteen horses set to go to post and it will be interesting to see which one is able to come out on top, with Cap Du Nord capturing the bookmaker’s attention.

Christian Williams’ charge is now ten but there’s a feeling as though his better performances are behind him. Nevertheless, the runner was second in the Sky Bet Handicap Chase at Doncaster at the end of January, with the horse bouncing back after a poor display at Cheltenham when finishing dead last. It’s definitely worth looking for a bigger price.

Laskalin was able to produce a solid performance last time out when finishing second out of twelve runners, with the horse narrowly missing out on a victory after being sent off as the 7/2 favourite. Indeed, the horse also fell short when being sent off as the market leader in a handicap chase at Newbury Racecourse, so perhaps it’s worth consider a few alternatives.

Danny Kirwan has not been seen since finishing second in the Bateaux London Gold Cup Handicap Chase and the horse ran pretty well behind Our Power. That was a premier handicap race and Harry Cobden will be on board for this encounter, while Revels Hill will hope to improve on his showing at Sandown Racecourse over three miles and five furlongs.
