1	1 1st (1) (50/1 -100%) Blueking D'oroux		50 50/1(-100%)																															(1) Blueking D'oroux 50/1, Showed fairly useful over hurdles in France. Folded tamely in 2 outings for Paul Nicholls at the end of 2022 but it's possible he'll prove a different proposition now handicapping after wind surgery. Interesting to see how he goes in the betting.
2	6 2nd (6) (7.5/1 -67%) Afadil		7.5 7.5/1(-67%)																															(6) Afadil 7.5/1, French Flat winner who also won first 2 hurdles (latter a listed race). Shaped better than the bare result when eighth of 21 in Fred Winter at Cheltenham, keeping on well from too far back. On the shortlist.
3	15 3rd (15) (14/1 +22%) Havaila		14 14/1(+22%)																															(15) Havaila 14/1, Fairly useful form on Flat. Runner-up twice from 5 starts over hurdles, including in a handicap at Sandown last month. Raised 3 lb for that, though, and this looks a much stronger race.
4	7 4th (7) (6.5/1 +13%) Mr Freedom		6.5 6.5/1(+13%)																															(7) Mr Freedom 6.5/1, Is enjoying an excellent season, winning 4 times over hurdles (also successful on AW Flat in January). Had a few of these rivals behind when a very good fifth of 21 in Fred Winter at Cheltenham last month, doing well considering he was bumped repeatedly after 2 out (rider briefly lost iron).
5th	10 5th (10) (8/1 +11%) Grappa Nonino		8 8/1(+11%)																															(10) Grappa Nonino 8/1, Fair on Flat and left first 2 hurdle runs behind when landing a big-field maiden at Navan 4 weeks ago and the runner-up has won since. Likely more to come for a stable whose British runners always command respect.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 -110%) Bad		7 7/1(-110%)																															(2) Bad 7/1, Winner in France. Attracted strong market support in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival on recent British debut and he shaped a lot better than thirteenth of 21 might suggest, travelling powerfully but doing too much too soon. Remains open to improvement.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/1 +29%) Punta Del Este		10 10/1(+29%)																															(3) Punta Del Este 10/1, French winner. Promising third in Victor Ludorum at Haydock on British debut. Shaped quite well until getting involved in some scrimmaging after the second last in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham since. Remains capable of better.
8th	8 8th (8) (5/1 +23%) Arclight		5 5/1(+23%)																															(8) Arclight 5/1, Fairly useful on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott. Perfect start over hurdles for new connections with wins in juveniles at Doncaster and Kempton around turn of the year. Creditable second upped to listed level at first-named venue 65 days ago and could be more to come in handicaps.
9th	12 9th (12) (10/1 +17%) Fourofakind		10 10/1(+17%)																															(12) Fourofakind 10/1, Fairly useful form on the Flat in Ireland and has made a sound start to his hurdle career for new stable, placed twice before landing the odds at Haydock 11 days ago. Potential improver in handicaps for his emerging yard.
10th	13 10th (13) (10/1 +0%) Bluegrass		10 10/1(+0%)																															(13) Bluegrass 10/1, Useful on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien (placed in the 2022 Dante). Has shown promise switched to hurdles in recent months and rates a very interesting recruit to handicaps for last year's winning stable.
11th	5 11th (5) (10/1 +38%) Fils De Roi		10 10/1(+38%)																															(5) Fils De Roi 10/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles, winning Auteuil claimer on final start in France and easily following up in Huntingdon juvenile on October's stable debut. Respectable mid-field finish in the Fred Winter last month but it underlines he needs more from his mark.
12th	9 12th (9) (8.5/1 +47%) Despereaux		8.5 8.5/1(+47%)																															(9) Despereaux 8.5/1, Has won a Huntingdon maiden and Taunton novice this term but his opening handicap mark looks tough enough.
13th	14 13th (14) (66/1 -32%) Penna Rossa		66 66/1(-32%)																															(14) Penna Rossa 66/1, Off the mark in Sandown juvenile in December but finished 12 lengths bihind the reopposing Polyphonic on his Fontwell handicap debut 15 days ago.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Ascot Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A few of these crossed swords in the Boodles at the Festival and are likely to find this is a more winnable target at this stage of their development. MR FREEDOM (fifth) was best of the bunch (and the British) at Cheltenham and given the amount of misfortune he suffered on the day with the saddle slipping and him being struck into, his effort was highly commendable. Afadil (eighth) and Fils De Roi (ninth) renew rivalries and are shortlisted in their attempts to get back on track, while the well-supported Bad weakened after racing too free. Fourofakind is on the up and is also considered.

A cracking juvenile handicap. An opening mark of 110 could easily underestimate BLUEGRASS based on Flat ability so he's taken to provide Stuart Edmunds with a second successive win in this race, but there are stacks of dangers. Bad was a lot better than his finishing position suggests in the Fred Winter and is second choice. Afadil, Grappa Nonino and Mr Freedom are others with plenty to recommend them.

Lots are of interest but MR FREEDOM, Grappa Nonino and Afadil may be the best options.

1	5 1st (5) (9/1 +50%) Black Gerry		9 9/1(+50%)																															(5) Black Gerry 9/1, Successful in handicaps 6 months apart at Fontwell and Exeter at up to 19f this term, but dismal efforts next 2 starts and plenty to prove now back down in trip.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.75/1 -27%) Frere D'armes		1.75 1.75/1(-27%)																															(4) Frere D'armes 1.75/1, Surpassed any of his hurdle exploits (won twice last term) when making a successful start to his chase career in a 2¼m Kempton handicap in November and further improvement when defying 8 lb rise at Newbury later that month. Up another 8 lb but sure to progress further and win more races.
3	7 3rd (7) (80/1 -142%) Hatcher		80 80/1(-142%)																															(7) Hatcher 80/1, On a potentially lenient mark but has failed to complete on all 3 starts this season, well held when falling 3 out at Ludlow last time. Others appeal more.
4	9 4th (9) (22/1 +56%) Royale Margaux		22 22/1(+56%)																															(9) Royale Margaux 22/1, Multiple winner in France around 2m for David Cottin but well held both starts for new yard so far.
5th	1 5th (1) (8.5/1 -31%) Dolos		8.5 8.5/1(-31%)																															(1) Dolos 8.5/1, In reasonable form this term but reportedly bled at Sandown 8 weeks ago. Back on last winning mark at least.
6th	8 6th (8) (3.2/1 +20%) Corrigeen Rock		3.2 3.2/1(+20%)																															(8) Corrigeen Rock 3.2/1, Fairly useful novice hurdler last season and winner of first 2 completed starts over fences this term. Good second at Sandown next 2 starts and should go well again.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 -83%) Prince Escalus		11 11/1(-83%)																															(3) Prince Escalus 11/1, Started 2022 with a pair of 2m wins at Hereford and built on his encouraging return at the second attempt when resuming winning ways at Wetherby (15.2f, good) 46 days ago, seeing his race out much better returned to front-running tactics. Will find this more competitive.
6	6 |PU| (6) (7.5/1 +12%) Fast Buck		7.5 7.5/1(+12%)																															(6) Fast Buck 7.5/1, Below par last season for Dan Skelton but took advantage of reduced mark when recording a first win over fences at Lingfield in December. Similar form when runner-up next 2 starts and should be in the mix again.
2	2 |PU| (2) (8.5/1 +15%) Xcitations		8.5 8.5/1(+15%)																															(2) Xcitations 8.5/1, Upped his game further this term with victories at Doncaster and at Sandown around the turn of the year but in the handicapper's grip now judged on subsequent efforts.

15:35 Ascot Handicap Chase (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

FRERE D'ARMES kept his unbeaten record over fences intact when displaying a polished round of jumping to beat subsequent Betfair Hurdle hero Aucunrisque at Newbury in November and he looks more than capable of shrugging off an 8lb rise in the handicap. Prince Escalus returned to winning ways at Wetherby and, if gaining an uncontested lead, may prove the biggest threat. Xcitations, who finished behind in second on that occasion, makes most appeal of the remainder.

FRERE D'ARMES looked a natural when winning both his starts over fences in November and is probably still ahead of his mark given his potential. This should be run at a good pace with in-form front-runners Corrigeen Rock, Fast Buck and Prince Escalus heading up the opposition.

The Dan Skelton-trained FRERE D'ARMES (nap) showed strong form when winning his first two chase starts and can score again.

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +0%) The Imposter		4 4/1(+0%)																															(4) The Imposter 4/1, Thriving this season, landing a fifth handicap from last 6 starts (runner-up on other occasion) at Ffos Las 11 days ago. Up another 5 lb but he continues to defy the assessor and is very likely to give it another good go.
2	2 2nd (2) (4.5/1 +31%) Scamallach Liath		4.5 4.5/1(+31%)																															(2) Scamallach Liath 4.5/1, Irish point winner who has shaped with definite promise and like a stayer over hurdles, plugging on for second on handicap debut at Exeter. Slightly flattered by proximity to the winner that day but cheekpieces may help him travel with a bit more zest.
3	7 3rd (7) (4.5/1 -50%) Charging Point		4.5 4.5/1(-50%)																															(7) Charging Point 4.5/1, Overcame a troubled passage when making second handicap start a winning one at Southwell a month ago, well on top at the finish. Shapes like a stayer and revised mark may underestimate him.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 +21%) Heaven Smart		11 11/1(+21%)																															(3) Heaven Smart 11/1, Runner-up in novice/maiden hurdles at Plumpton and Lingfield before Christmas but produced a rather tame finishing effort when last of 6 on handicap debut at Sandown (19.8f, good to soft) in February. Fitted with cheekpieces and again failed to see race out at Fontwell, so this trip is a worry.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +40%) Kraqueline		6 6/1(+40%)																															(8) Kraqueline 6/1, Showed fair form when reaching the frame in a couple of bumpers and has shown promise without quite matching that form over hurdles so far. Ludlow run last month suggests her mark is a shade too high.
6th	10 6th (10) (20/1 -67%) San Pedro		20 20/1(-67%)																															(10) San Pedro 20/1, Aided by first-time cheekpieces when opening account over hurdles in 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (23f) in February. Was granted a pretty soft lead on that occasion and he failed to repeat that form at Plumpton.
7th	11 7th (11) (12/1 +14%) Rebel Intentions		12 12/1(+14%)																															(11) Rebel Intentions 12/1, Hinted at promise in bumpers and showed fair form over hurdles last season. Disappointing over both sets of obstacles in handicaps this term, though.
8th	9 8th (9) (9/1 +25%) Realm Of Glory		9 9/1(+25%)																															(9) Realm Of Glory 9/1, Showed a bit more than previously over hurdles when fifth in 13-runner novice at Ffos Las (20f, soft) in January. Laboured effort when disappointing on handicap debut a fortnight ago but looks worth a go at this trip.
9th	6 9th (6) (11/1 +8%) Ailes D'amour		11 11/1(+8%)																															(6) Ailes D'amour 11/1, Got off the mark at Warwick in February and cast aside a lesser effort at Doncaster when finding only one too good upped to 27f at Sedgefield 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on and one to consider with stamina assured.
10th	1 10th (1) (11/1 -10%) Revasser		11 11/1(-10%)																															(1) Revasser 11/1, Made winning start in a Warwick bumper in spring 2021. Back from a quiet spell when runner-up fitted with cheekpieces at Southwell a month ago and he can remain competitive back in a handicap.

16:10 Ascot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The Imposter has enjoyed a fine season with five wins to his name, but his latest dead-heat at Ffos Las suggests that the handicapper may be catching up with him and he could prove vulnerable to the unexposed CHARGING POINT. Laura Morgan's inmate was a ready winner on his second start in a handicap at Southwell and looks the type to relish this extra distance. Scamallach Liath was far from disgraced when runner-up on his handicap bow at Exeter and is another to consider in first-time cheekpieces.

CHARGING POINT was value for extra when making his second start in handicaps a winning one at Southwell a month ago, and with this trip likely to unlock more, his revised mark is well within range. The Imposter is absolutely thriving and is second choice, with Revasser another to consider.

The Imposter makes a quick return from a hard race and it may be worth chancing CHARGING POINT who looks a stayer in the making.

Not at best over National fences on return and well held in handicap at the Cheltenham Festival but yard in better form now at least. Interesting down in class.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +10%) Run To Milan		3 3/1(+10%)																															(5) Run To Milan 3/1, Successful at Exeter off a 8 lb higher mark last term and posted best effort of the season so far when third in a big-field veteran handicap at Sandown in January. Below par in open company there next time but expected to bounce back returned to a veterans event with yard resurgent in recent days.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.75/1 -22%) Larry		2.75 2.75/1(-22%)																															(4) Larry 2.75/1, Decent strike rate over the years and jumped much better than usual when winning over C&D on return. Back to that level when runner-up to a subsequent winner in veterans event at Newbury last month and needs considering.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 -13%) Wishing And Hoping		9 9/1(-13%)																															(2) Wishing And Hoping 9/1, Last 2 wins have come in veterans' company, including when defying big odds in 18-runner Series Final at Sandown in January. Struggled at listed level at Kelso next time but easy to forgive that. Player.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/1 -82%) Ruthless Article		10 10/1(-82%)																															(3) Ruthless Article 10/1, Better than ever last summer, runner-up in a valuable 3¼m listed handicap chase at Uttoxeter in June prior to going one better over the same C&D a month later. 5 lb rise fair enough but may find a few of these too strong back from an 8-month break. Engaged 4.37 Stratford Saturday.
6th	6 6th (6) (5/1 +55%) Saint Xavier		5 5/1(+55%)																															(6) Saint Xavier 5/1, In good form in veterans' company this season, scoring over 25f at Haydock in November before a solid fifth of 18 at Sandown. However, below par both starts since so needs to bounce back. 1 lb out of handicap.

16:45 Ascot Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

TWO FOR GOLD found the Magners Plate at the Cheltenham Festival too much to handle and the 10-year-old has been given an excellent chance by the handicapper, having dropped him 6lb, ahead of his first run in a veterans' contest. Wishing And Hoping won the final of this series at Sandown in January and bids to bounce back from a heavy defeat in Listed company at Kelso. Larry won here on his return to action in November and following a couple of ordinary efforts, took a step back in the right direction when runner-up at Newbury last month.

RUN TO MILAN shaped as if retaining all of his ability when third behind Wishing And Hoping in the Veterans' Series Final at Sandown and Victor Dartnall's charge is taken to come out on top this time with the yard resurgent in recent days. Two For Gold is used to keeping much better company than this so also needs considering under top weight.

The veterans present rather mixed credentials but a chance is taken that TWO FOR GOLD can return to something like last season's form.

1	14 1st (14) (3.5/1 +22%) Ivaldi		3.5 3.5/1(+22%)																															(14) Ivaldi 3.5/1, Unexposed sort who fell early on his Kemoton handicap debut on Boxing Day and shaped better than the result when fourth of 12 over 3m at Ascot next time. Again not seen to best advantage back at Kempton latest, and too soon to be writing off.
2	1 2nd (1) (16/1 -60%) Espoir De Romay		16 16/1(-60%)																															(1) Espoir De Romay 16/1, Below form over fences last season and shaped as if needing his reappearance at Exeter 49 days ago. Potentially well treated if he can build on that.
3	13 3rd (13) (9/1 -64%) Rocky Man		9 9/1(-64%)																															(13) Rocky Man 9/1, French Flat winner who upped his game to open his hurdling account at the fourth attempt in a handicap at Wetherby in October. Even better effort when runner-up there since and probably best excused (seemed amiss) latest effort.
4	15 4th (15) (14/1 +44%) Hasty Parisian		14 14/1(+44%)																															(15) Hasty Parisian 14/1, Did well as a juvenile last season, winning at Sandown and made the frame on several occasions, too. Performed with credit when third at Doncaster last time and every chance he'll go well again.
5th	12 5th (12) (8.5/1 +0%) Fifty Ball		8.5 8.5/1(+0%)																															(12) Fifty Ball 8.5/1, Cashed in off reduced mark over C&D on final start last season but hasn't been firing this season.
6th	3 6th (3) (18/1 -13%) Ballybegg		18 18/1(-13%)																															(3) Ballybegg 18/1, Last 2 wins gained over 2½m at Uttoxeter, bouncing back to form with a bang to comfortably see off 10 rivals in February. Pulled up at Chepstow since, though.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +11%) Sir Psycho		16 16/1(+11%)																															(7) Sir Psycho 16/1, Won 3 times as a juvenile hurdler in 2019/20 season. Very lightly raced since and suffered a nasty experience when switched to fences on return from 2 years off at Bangor, falling heavily before crashing through a wing when loose. Has underperformed twice over hurdles since.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 +36%) Gentleman At Arms		16 16/1(+36%)																															(5) Gentleman At Arms 16/1, Ended last season with a second in Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (3m, good). Hasn't scaled the same heights this time round, including over fences, and others are more persuasive.
9th	6 9th (6) (7.5/1 -50%) Certainly Red		7.5 7.5/1(-50%)																															(6) Certainly Red 7.5/1, Reliable sort who has taken his form up a level over fencin recent weeks, completing a hat-trick at Wincanton a couple of months ago. Looks interesting back over hurdles.
11	11 |F| (11) (14/1 +30%) Clay Rogers		14 14/1(+30%)																															(11) Clay Rogers 14/1, Landed a brace of small-field events in the summer of 2021 and overcame a 17-month absence and notable market weakness to complete the hat-trick with a fair amount in hand switched to a handicap at Southwell in January. Disappointed since, though.
10	10 |U| (10) (10/1 +38%) Top Of The Bill		10 10/1(+38%)																															(10) Top Of The Bill 10/1, Dual winner this term and shaped as if still in form at Chepstow last time. Likely to give another good account for all that he's not entirely straightforward.
10th	4 10th (4) (5.5/1 +39%) Jerrash		5.5 5.5/1(+39%)																															(4) Jerrash 5.5/1, Back on track following 11 months off when successful at Plumpton (25f) in January but failed to back it up at Haydock 43 days ago.
11th	2 11th (2) (40/1 -233%) J'ai Froid		40 40/1(-233%)																															(2) J'ai Froid 40/1, Progressive hurdler earlier in his career but latest run was sub-par and he's not been seen for 11 months. Something to prove.
12th	9 12th (9) (22/1 +12%) Shantou Express		22 22/1(+12%)																															(9) Shantou Express 22/1, Dual hurdles winner last spring.

17:20 Ascot Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

JERRASH pulled up in a Pertemps qualifier at Haydock but he was found to be coughing post-race and the six-year-old, a winner on hurdling debut at this track in January of last year, is capable of bouncing back from that display. Top Of The Bill has to enter the reckoning based on his Exeter victory on his penultimate start, while others capable of a decent showing include Rocky Man and Ivaldi.

ROCKY MAN was on the up prior to seeming amiss last time, so he's worth a chance too resume progress and land this at the possible expense of Hasty Parisian, who is on a handy mark. Certainly Red is a big player if he can reproduce his recent chasing form back over the smaller obstacles.

The in-form chaser Certainly Red has to be respected but this could go to SHANTOU EXPRESS, who has dropped down the weights.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
