REBECCA Menzies can keep her stellar season moving forward on Sunday with victory in the Go North Monet's Garden Series Final Handicap Chase at Carlisle.
ROAD WARRIOR (3.36, nap) has been knocking on the door all season and is fancied to give his rivals weight and a beating.
The grey's very good second of six in a handicap chase at Doncaster six weeks ago, when only going under by half a length to The Unit, really caught the eye - and that was the third time in a row he had finished as runner-up.
And with promising apprentice Kane Yeoman taking seven lbs off his back, he can finally find his way into the winners' enclosure from the same handicap mark.
Over the jumps at Ascot, the best bet of the day could prove to be Irish raider VERA VERTO (2.45, nb) in the Colts & Fillies Juvenile Handicap Hurdle.
The four-year-old was a fairly useful winner over 10 furlongs on the Flat.
And Gavin Cromwell's charge posted a career best when winning a 19-runner juvenile hurdle at Navan 22 days ago.
On her handicap hurdle debut, this filly is definitely worth a punt.
