1	5 1st (5) (7/2 -56%) Diamond Rain		3.5 7/2(-56%)																															(5) Diamond Rain 7/2, Shamardal filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1¼m-1½m winner Jalmoud and winner up to 9f Magic Lily, both smart and by New Approach. Dam 1¼m-1½m (Oaks) winner (also won Preis der Diana). Of obvious interest on debut. Bred in the purple; strong chance this one will have a big say on debut.
2	8 2nd (8) (2/1 +11%) Shaha		2 2/1(+11%)																															(8) Shaha 2/1, 280,000 gns yearling, Cracksman filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 15f Big Blue and useful 2-y-o 1m winner Denmark. Dam, 1¼m/11f winner (runner-up in Prix de l'Opera), half-sister to Prix de Diane winner Bright Sky. Stacks to like. Makes obvious paper appeal for a stable which won this with a newcomer last year.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/2 +50%) Chorus		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(2) Chorus 7/2, Plenty of promise on both starts last year, again doing some good late work when finishing runner-up (conceded first run) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) back in November. Represents a top yard and remains one to be positive about, especially once she steps up further in trip. Promise at 2; capable of better at 3 but bred to come into her own over longer trips.
4	4 4th (4) (22/1 +12%) Madame De Sevigne		22 22/1(+12%)																															(4) Madame De Sevigne 22/1, Progressed with each run last year, staying on well when finishing runner-up to an odds-on shot at Chelmsford (7f) back in November. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line, however. Fair form at 2 but surprise if she's up to the task here.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 +21%) Fayqa		11 11/1(+21%)																															(7) Fayqa 11/1, Dubawi filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Wuqood and half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 1½m Rakan and 1m/9f winner Giladah, both useful. Dam, winner up to 1¼m who stayed 1½m, half-sister to high-class 12.4f-2¼m winner (stayed 2½m) Saddler's Rock. This newcomer has a smart pedigree; the betting should provide more clues.
6th	1 6th (1) (25/1 -213%) Aquacell		25 25/1(-213%)																															(1) Aquacell 25/1, Churchill filly who looked a good prospect as she overcame inexperience to cosily make a winning debut in 5-runner maiden at Chelmsford (7f) just under 3 weeks ago, missing break but staying on to lead final 100 yds. Will improve but carries a penalty and faces some well-bred newcomers here. Promising winning debut on AW (7f); 1m will suit but useful effort needed under penalty.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 +14%) Echo Lima		6 6/1(+14%)																															(6) Echo Lima 6/1, Kingman filly. Sister to smart 1m winner Tsar and 11.5f winner Alpha King and half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 9f Juliet Foxtrot. Dam winner up to 1m (including at 2 yrs). Makes plenty of paper appeal. Debutante from a good Juddmonte family; the market should help guide to expectations.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 -71%) Climate Action		12 12/1(-71%)																															(3) Climate Action 12/1, Cracksman filly who finished runner-up on both starts in similar events last year (including over C&D on debut). Returns from 6 months off and she's a likely improver back on turf. RPR of 82 on her C&D debut (good) but she might be up against some good newcomers here.

16:35 Ascot Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The Charlie Appleby stable has made an excellent start to the season and they could have a decent newcomer on their hands with DIAMOND RAIN, a daughter of Oaks winner Dancing Rain and half-sister to the talented Magic Lily. She is narrowly preferred to fellow debutant Shaha, who cost a pretty penny at the sales for last year's winning trainer but may need further in time going by her pedigree. A comfortable winner on debut at Chelmsford last month for which she carries a 6lb penalty, Aquacell sets the standard, while Chorus is another open to improvement after a solid runner-up effort at Wolverhampton.

A race chock-full of potential and it could be worth focusing on the debutantes, Shamardal filly DIAMOND RAIN getting the nod to come out of top for Godolphin before the benefit of market clues. John & Thady Gosden won this last year with a newcomer and their Shaha ticks plenty of boxes on paper, with Echo Lima and sole previous winner Aquacell completing the shortlist.

The well-bred newcomers may come to the fore, with SHAHA preferred to Diamond Rain before any betting clues are known.

1	6 1st (6) (10/3 +17%) Two Tempting		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(6) Two Tempting 10/3, Back to best when winning 14-runner handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City (8f) 33 days ago, always holding on. Just 3 lb higher now and is one for the shortlist. Better than ever when successful on 1m AW reappearance but has yet to win on turf.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +17%) Roarin' Success		5 5/1(+17%)																															(8) Roarin' Success 5/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress when successful on her seasonal return over C&D last July. Disappointed on 2 of her 3 starts thereafter but conditions will hold no fears and she remains with few miles on the clock. Won on C&D reappearance in 2023 and yard is in form; needs considering.
3	9 3rd (9) (13/2 +46%) One Step Beyond		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(9) One Step Beyond 13/2, Ended last season with a couple of heavy defeats but it was otherwise a productive 2023 campaign (scored 3 times including over this C&D). Should be straighter for recent Newbury return but is another who may find conditions against him. Three wins in 2023 but ended last year on a low note and also below par on recent return.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +0%) Repertoire		10 10/1(+0%)																															(7) Repertoire 10/1, Bagged this prize (off 4 lb lower) first time up in 2022 and scored twice over this sort of trip last season. Would likely prefer a sounder surface, though. Former winner of this race with a good record fresh; has to enter calculations.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/2 -50%) Vultar		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(1) Vultar 9/2, Upped his game since sent handicapping, scoring twice at Kempton and finding further improvement when second of 10 at same course (8f, 10/3) 30 days ago. Soft ground is an unknown but he must enter calculations. Progressive in AW handicaps and big shout if translating that form to turf.
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 -400%) Lyndon B		50 50/1(-400%)																															(5) Lyndon B 50/1, Won handicap at Glorious Goodwood in 2022 but never really fired in 4 starts last term and makes limited appeal on his return here. Useful at peak but not at best in 2023; no great record fresh either.
7th	2 7th (2) (20/1 -122%) Canoodled		20 20/1(-122%)																															(2) Canoodled 20/1, Four-time winner (at up to 8f) who posted career best when fine fourth in 7f listed race at this course in October. However, below that level twice since and others more appealing. Well held on reappearance but placed second time up in 2022 and 2023.
8th	3 8th (3) (4/1 +43%) Bluelight Bay		4 4/1(+43%)																															(3) Bluelight Bay 4/1, Just 1 lb above last winning mark and should be straighter for last month's respectable Kempton reappearance. Warrants respect. Should be sharper for reappearance and only 1lb above last winning mark.
9th	4 9th (4) (14/1 -180%) Assessment		14 14/1(-180%)																															(4) Assessment 14/1, Low-mileage 5-y-o who displayed useful form when winning 2 of his first 4 starts for Sir Michael Stoute prior to being pulled up at Sandown last May (went wrong after 3f). May have needed first run for new connections at Southwell in March but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Well held on AW yard debut in March but 100-30 SP suggests better was anticipated.

17:10 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

VULTAR has been in terrific form of late on the all-weather and, if he can transfer that to the turf, he must be the one to beat with Oliver Timms taking off a valuable 7lb. Back to winning ways in determined fashion at Chelmsford, Two Tempting will look to do much better than he did in this contest last year, while Canoodled has performed well in Listed company here before and should come on for her Newmarket spin. Assessment and Repertoire are capable of being in the mix as well.

Preference is for ROARIN' SUCCESS, who won a C&D handicap first time up last term and returns on a workable mark. Two Tempting and Vultar may provide the chief threat.

The thriving VULTAR is taken to continue the good work back on turf. Harry Charlton's Roarin' Success may give him most to do.

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.
