Free horse racing tips for Friday, December 20 at Ascot, Uttoxeter, Southwell and Wolverhampton

The Punt nap

Ziggy's Missile (12.32 Southwell)

Was returning from a five-month break when going down by just a length at Wolverhampton on his first start since being gelded last month. Produced a career-best RPR that day and should be spot on to maintain his perfect record over course and distance for Robert Cowell.

Eyecatcher

Kitty Furnival (1.42 Southwell)

Simon and Ed Crisford's filly looked unfortunate not to complete a hat-trick when suffering interference off this mark at Wolverhampton last time.

Handicappers' nap

Stay If U Want To (12.45 Ascot)

Shaped better than the bare result behind today's rival Double Powerful at Cheltenham last month and, with his jockey again taking 10lb off, is entitled to go well in an open-looking race.

West Country nap

Johnnywho (3.05 Ascot)

Sets the standard on ratings and has taken to jumping well. Can continue his climb up the ranks.

Speed figures

Flash In The Park (1.30 Uttoxeter)

Much-improved speed performance when dropping back to today's trip here last month. Up just 4lb and can go in again.

Dark horse

Radiant Beauty (7.30 Wolverhampton)

An impressive winner from the front at Kempton in August, but subsequently disappointed in three runs on turf. A return to the all-weather may rejuvenate her.
