Declan Rix has backed Vincenzo for Saturday's bet365 Handicap Chase at Ascot. The Sky Sports Racing panel discussed the two-mile-five-furlong contest, where Vincenzo leads the market from Bad, Scarface, and Neon Moon. Rix believes the horse is now strengthening up and offers a good opportunity against older rivals.

Rix notes Vincenzo's jumping has improved, though his tendency to go left could be a concern around Ascot's downhill fences. He wants odds of at least 2/1. Sam Boswell prefers an each-way angle, backing Hitman for his consistency and Aintree win, while also considering Neon Moon if the ground suits. Kate Tracey opts for the solid Scarface, who she believes is suited by the longer trip and has a good Ascot record.
