14:30 Ascot (Class 1) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +33%) Humidity	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Humidity 4/1, All-the-way winner of 6f maiden at Newbury on debut, toughing it out well; this is tougher but he's a brother to 2022 winner of this, Holloway Boy; respected for leading yard. Prevailed narrowly at Newbury but is open to progress; brother to the 2022 Chesham winner.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 -9%) Thesecretadversary	12 12/1(-9%)	(4) Thesecretadversary 12/1, Runner-up in a maiden at Leopardstown (7f), only collared late on by an Aidan O'Brien-trained winner, the pair clear; this calls for more but that was a promising start. Ran promisingly from the front at Leopardstown, collared only towards the finish.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/3 -21%) Moments Of Joy	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(8) Moments Of Joy 10/3, Rallied to win what is often a good maiden at Leopardstown (7f) on debut; well-bred filly; top trainer has won 5 of last 10 runnings and his 2yos have been in great form this week; claims. Successful in Leopardstown maiden that threw up the Chesham winners in 20217 and 2024.
4	9 4th (9) (7/1 +50%) Venetian Lace	7 7/1(+50%)	(9) Venetian Lace 7/1, Decisive winner in a maiden over 6f on Chelmsford AW on debut; the second there has won since; 7f should suit judged on pedigree; place contender. Solid success on Chelmsford AW; goes into much deeper waters but brings potential.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/4 -4%) Treanmor	1.25 5/4(-4%)	(5) Treanmor 5/4, 2,000,000euros yearling; won very easily over 6f at Newmarket on debut; trainer won this with star 2yo Pinatubo in 2019; doubt that the debut form is worth too much but strong claims. 2,000,000euros yearling; impressive in Newmarket contest and looks a smart prospect.
6th	3 6th (3) (50/1 +24%) Tailgunner Joe	50 50/1(+24%)	(3) Tailgunner Joe 50/1, 19 February foal; 30,000gns breeze-up purchase; dam useful at 9f as a 2yo; thrown in at the deep end on this debut. 30,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; by Knicks Go; one of two newcomers in the field.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 -82%) Waterford Castle	40 40/1(-82%)	(6) Waterford Castle 40/1, Promise when third in a maiden at Sandown (7f) on debut a week ago; that was promising but good bit more needed here and this is a quick enough return. Ran encouragingly at Sandown last week but this is a much stiffer assignment.
8th	1 8th (1) (40/1 +0%) Brave Hunter	40 40/1(+0%)	(1) Brave Hunter 40/1, Third in a 7f novice at Yarmouth on debut; fractious beforehand then; something to find. Showed some promise over 7f at Yarmouth but has plenty to find on the bare form.
9th	7 9th (7) (66/1 +0%) Zooter	66 66/1(+0%)	(7) Zooter 66/1, 15 March foal; 8,000gns Australia gelding; half-brother to Ottoman Force, useful at 5f; dam very useful at 8f; fact that he's already been gelded could be construed as a negative; opposed. 8,000gns yearling; by Australia; one of two newcomers in the field.

14:30 Ascot (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

TREANMOR hardly came out of first gear when making an impressive debut at Newmarket last month and this son of Frankel, who cost 2,000,000 euros as a yearling, could be something special if he continues to flourish. This is obviously a stiffer test and Moments Of Joy stands out as a higher calibre opponent. A game winner on her debut at Leopardstown just 16 days ago, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly merits serious consideration as the sole Ballydoyle representative. Humidity was privately purchased by Wathnan Racing after his game winning debut at Newbury and is another serious player.

Godolphin colt TREANMOR has stacks of potential, while Moments Of Joy and Humidity have strong credentials.

15:05 Ascot (Class 1) 11f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (9/4 +10%) Rebel's Romance	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(9) Rebel's Romance 9/4, Winner of seven Gr 1s in a glittering career; won messy Gr 2 at York (14f) last time; probably best at 12f; 7yo is very reliable and the one to beat on form, albeit not by all that much. Four 1m4f Group/Grade 1 wins last year; landed Yorkshire Cup latest; he's the one to beat.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +20%) Al Riffa	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Al Riffa 4/1, Recent form leaves him needing to find a bit more; however, 12f may well suit better nowadays (won a German Gr 1 over it last year) so a contender in a change of headgear. Second in the Eclipse last July; leading claims if surging back to best now in blinkers.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +17%) Ghostwriter	5 5/1(+17%)	(7) Ghostwriter 5/1, Bit below-par last time and winless since 2yo days; however, he has some very good form in Gr 1s at up to 10.3f and leading player if - and it is an 'if' - stamina lasts out up in trip. Group 1 campaigner at around 1m2f; into the unknown at 1m4f but drops back in grade.
4	11 4th (11) (10/1 +17%) Sunway	10 10/1(+17%)	(11) Sunway 10/1, Made the frame in two Classics last season and each-way claims on that form in blinkers now; may not relish fast ground though and hasn't fired as yet this season. Placed in the Irish Derby and St Leger last season, and excuses on both runs this season.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 +0%) Palladium	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Palladium 16/1, Encouraging third in Listed race when run was probably needed at Goodwood (led); unproven on fast ground; German Derby winner last year; needs a career-best for sure. Won last year's German Derby; close Listed 3rd on yard debut; others have stronger claims.
6th	12 6th (12) (25/1 -79%) Tabletalk	25 25/1(-79%)	(12) Tabletalk 25/1, Ran to form when second in Gr 3 at Newbury (12f, good to firm) latest; something to find on balance. Runner-up in Group 3 races at Newbury the last twice but down the pecking order on ratings.
7th	1 7th (1) (12/1 -20%) Al Aasy	12 12/1(-20%)	(1) Al Aasy 12/1, Bit too much to do in a messy race at Newbury latest; usually held up; 8yo had looked as good as ever when winning at Sandown (10f; 12f is fine) previously; each-way shout. 7-time Group 3 winner, latest in April; the race didn't go his way at Newbury last time.
8th	4 8th (4) (40/1 -21%) Burdett Road	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Burdett Road 40/1, Good dual-purpose horse for whom 12f on the Flat may be more suitable than the 2m he was below-par over last time; something to find in this company; tongue-tie left off. Listed winner last September; Champion Hurdle runner-up in March; Flat career best needed.
9th	3 9th (3) (33/1 -50%) Bellum Justum	33 33/1(-50%)	(3) Bellum Justum 33/1, Has developed into a very smart colt, including 12f Gr 2 win two starts back; needs more on that now and was uncharacteristically below-par at Epsom last time. Group 2 win last month and good to soft ground was an excuse at Epsom since; not ruled out.
10th	10 10th (10) (25/1 -257%) Space Legend	25 25/1(-257%)	(10) Space Legend 25/1, Too fresh over an inadequate 10.3f at Chester last time on seasonal debut; cheekpieces first time and return to 12f a plus but needs a notable career-best. Ran well in defeat in Group 2s last season; remains lightly raced but needs improvement.
11th	6 11th (6) (25/1 -56%) Epic Poet	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Epic Poet 25/1, Ran to form when close second to Rebel's Romance (who conceded 5lb) in messy Group 2 (1m6f) at York latest; ideally needs stiff test at 14f and 2m suits; vulnerable at 12f. Pushed Rebel's Romance close in 1m6f Group 2 Yorkshire Cup; could go well once more.
12th	5 12th (5) (25/1 +0%) Candleford	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Candleford 25/1, C&D handicap winner here in 2022; smart performer but this 7yo has a bit to find here and been off since fourth in this (ran to form) a year ago. C&D winner who goes well fresh but is likely to come up short in this race once more.

15:05 Ascot (Class 1) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Always highly regarded by connections, AL RIFFA didn't shape without promise when rallying for fourth in the Prix Ganay. It was only last July when he ran City Of Troy to a length in the Coral Eclipse and, already a Group 1 winner over 1m4f, the son of Wootton Bassett looks the value play in this prestigious contest. Winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf last November and a determined scorer on his return to British shores at York last month, Rebel's Romance should go very close. Now owned by Amo Racing, Ghostwriter remains a capable sort at this level, while Space Legend should improve for going back up in trip.

Preference is for GHOSTWRITER. He tackles a new trip but his dam was a 1m4f winner and he possesses some strong Group 1 form.

15:40 Ascot (Class 1) 6f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (9/2 -35%) Lazzat	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(8) Lazzat 9/2, Won seven of his 10 starts, including Gr 1 at Deauville (6.5f) last season and latest Listed race at Chantilly (6f, easily); ground was quicker than advertised last time; major claims. 6.5f Group 1 win last August and has the potential to be a sprinting superstar.
2	11 2nd (11) (2/1 +56%) Satono Reve	2 2/1(+56%)	(11) Satono Reve 2/1, 6yo who is a Grade 1 winner in his native Japan and ran a fine race when second to Ka Ying Rising, who many regard as the world's top sprinter, at Sha Tin last time; big form chance. Second last time to Ka Ying Rising who is the best sprinter in the world; leading claims.
3	14 3rd (14) (12/1 +0%) Flora Of Bermuda	12 12/1(+0%)	(14) Flora Of Bermuda 12/1, Closed out last season with sound, close third in C&D Gr 1 and resumed this term with another career-best, at York (6f, good to firm) in May; solid each-way contender. Third in C&D Group 1 last October and this progressive 4yo could still have more to offer.
4	16 4th (16) (100/1 +0%) Nighteyes	100 100/1(+0%)	(16) Nighteyes 100/1, Back on track when third in Listed race at Haydock (6f, good to firm) last time, despite a slow start; this is altogether harder though and up against it. Close Listed third last time; capable of better still but good chunk of improvement needed.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 +38%) Iberian	50 50/1(+38%)	(4) Iberian 50/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; slowly away at The Curragh latest and excused that; late swerve cost him the race the time before; unproven on fast ground; needs to improve. Should have won Listed race on return; might not be a forlorn hope if handling fast ground.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 +0%) Jasour	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Jasour 50/1, Two fair runs this term, latterly here on Tuesday (5f), have been a bit below-par; had a wind op in the winter; tongue-tie first time; third in C&D Gr 1 (3yos) last year; too much to prove. Staying-on tenth in King Charles III on Tuesday; returns to 6f, but claims not compelling.
7th	5 7th (5) (3/1 +33%) Inisherin	3 3/1(+33%)	(5) Inisherin 3/1, Winning return when run was said to have been needed at York last time on first run since having had a wind op; won C&D Gr 1 for 3yos here last year; major player on form. Won 3yo Group 1 over C&D 12 months ago; reappearance win at York; firmly in calculations.
8th	9 8th (9) (66/1 +0%) Run To Freedom	66 66/1(+0%)	(9) Run To Freedom 66/1, Ran creditably back from a year off at Newmarket in April; very smart performer but unplaced twice before in this and doubt he'll be emulating his half-brother, who won this in 2016. Placed in Group 1s in the past; returned from an absence with Group 3 fourth; needs more.
9th	15 9th (15) (40/1 -43%) Great Generation	40 40/1(-43%)	(15) Great Generation 40/1, Ran well back at 6f once last season but her three Group-race wins, including on reappearance, all been at 7f; likeable filly needs to find more to figure here. 3-time Group 3 winner; further improvement can't be ruled out but it's certainly needed.
10th	12 10th (12) (10/1 -100%) Storm Boy	10 10/1(-100%)	(12) Storm Boy 10/1, Very smart performer in Australia, including Gr 2 and Gr 3 wins; will need to leave last month's disappointing stable debut run well behind; yard won this with ex-Aussie horse in 2018. Australian Group 2 winner; disappointing stable debut but could bounce back with bold show.
11th	3 11th (3) (50/1 +24%) Grand Grey	50 50/1(+24%)	(3) Grand Grey 50/1, Better than bare form of either start for his new stable this season, first time getting going bit too late at Newmarket and then very slowly away at The Curragh; needs a career-best. Blew the start last time so is risky, but Jamie Spencer excels on the straight course here.
12th	2 12th (2) (20/1 +0%) Elite Status	20 20/1(+0%)	(2) Elite Status 20/1, Really smart colt on his day, as when landing Listed/Gr 3 wins at Newbury last season; each-way claims on those but much less good since, latest at York on last month's return. Needs to get back on track but may have needed reappearance run; might not be far away.
13th	1 13th (1) (40/1 +20%) Annaf	40 40/1(+20%)	(1) Annaf 40/1, Highly capable on his day, including winning a valuable near 7f contest in Saudi Arabia in early 2024 and C&D Gr 3 in 2023; cheekpieces now; plenty find on recent evidence. Step back in right direction last time; good record here and in big fields; interesting.
14th	13 14th (13) (6/1 +25%) Topgear	6 6/1(+25%)	(13) Topgear 6/1, First 6f start since early 2023; progressed after joining this trainer last year and, after pacey displays in winning well at 7f last two times, much respected here. Impressive in 7f Group races the last twice & every chance he'll be fully effective at 6f.

15:40 Ascot (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Last year's Commonwealth Cup hero Inisherin is back for more and showed more than enough when victorious in the Clipper at York to suggest he is set for a big run. French raider Lazzat romped home in Listed company at Chantilly last time and took the Prix Maurice de Gheest with the minimum of fuss last August, so he commands huge respect. However, a chance can be taken on TOPGEAR. Christopher Head's six-year-old comfortably struck in a Group 3 at Longchamp on his return and the drop back to this distance looks a good move. He may get the race run to suit and could be the one to beat.

Lazzat is a major player but SATONO REVE is taken to become the first Japanese-trained winner at Royal Ascot.

16:20 Ascot (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

A strong Irish challenge will perhaps be headed by Comanche Brave, who chased home Field Of Gold when fifth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas last month. Saracen and California Dreamer are two others who bring high-class form to the table, but REMMOOZ could be the answer. A winner of two novice events at Doncaster, the latest of those coming in fine style under a penalty, he has the potential to be a real star performer and may well prove capable in these deeper waters. Seagulls Eleven struggled in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket but should not be underestimated.

The most compelling claims are held by the progressive COMANCHE BRAVE (nap), whose dam Ishvana won this race in 2012.

1	11 1st (11) (28/1 -27%) Get It	28 28/1(-27%)	(11) Get It 28/1, Back to winning ways with 22-1 success over C&D last time; front-runner who'll find it harder to boss this field but won the Stewards' Cup last summer and not ruled out off fair mark still. Likes good or quicker ground; made all in the Stewards' Cup last year; harder here.
2	21 2nd (21) (3/1 +45%) More Thunder	3 3/1(+45%)	(21) More Thunder 3/1, Yard won this last year; has been reinvented as a 6f colt by new trainer this season with two Newmarket wins, last time flying at the finish; this stiffer 6f should suit; major shout. Proving his worth over 6f for this yard, winning both starts; this stiff test can suit.
3	10 3rd (10) (18/1 +28%) Ten Pounds	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Ten Pounds 18/1, Won at Newmarket (7f) on reappearance before down the field in top 7f handicap here; tongue-tie first time; needs a bit more even on best form and drop to 6f an unknown. Progressive at 7f until well below best latest; now tongue tied; 6f could suit.
4	29 4th (29) (28/1 +30%) Holkham Bay	28 28/1(+30%)	(29) Holkham Bay 28/1, Two wins here last season (5f/6f) but not done enough this spring to make much appeal in race as competitive as this and bit more dig in the ground probably ideal too. Suited by big-field sprints and in fine form on this track in 2024 over 5f and 6f.
5th	23 5th (23) (7/1 +65%) Completely Random	7 7/1(+65%)	(23) Completely Random 7/1, Two 6f wins in April before highly respectable run off this higher mark at Newbury; that run suggests that others here are better-weighted. Progressive and better than his latest run behind Aramram at Newbury; might yet find more.
6th	18 6th (18) (11/2 +35%) Aramram	5.5 11/2(+35%)	(18) Aramram 11/2, Metronomic consistency this season, last time gaining deserved win at Newbury; up 4lb but solid each-way shout under man-of-the-moment Ryan Moore. Improved last autumn; solid 6f form of late, twice 2nd to More Thunder before Newbury win.
7th	1 7th (1) (40/1 -21%) Apollo One	40 40/1(-21%)	(1) Apollo One 40/1, Just one well-held run this season, in April; second in this last year among several excellent efforts in top handicaps in his time and though 12lb higher now, better form later in 2024; claims. Fine record in the top sprint handicaps; Group 3 winner over C&D in October; high mark now.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -21%) Korker	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Korker 40/1, Possibly to construct a form case for him off this mark but on a losing run and always the worry that he'll blow the start again; others are more solid. Excellent 3rd of 25 in the Ayr Gold Cup; this rugged test might be too much for him.
9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 +25%) Purosangue	12 12/1(+25%)	(7) Purosangue 12/1, Not beaten far at Newmarket last time, looking poised to strike peak form now on third run of his season; fair mark and jockey rides the straight track here superbly; respected. Hasn't won since 2yo days but very capable at 6f on his day and too talented to leave out.
10th	28 10th (28) (66/1 -32%) Jumby	66 66/1(-32%)	(28) Jumby 66/1, Dual Group-race winner in his time but seems to gone backwards since being gelded in autumn 2023 and opposable on recent evidence; 7f probably better too. Third in the 2022 running; low key this year; down the weights; rare to see him at 6f now.
11th	13 11th (13) (66/1 -230%) Twilight Calls	66 66/1(-230%)	(13) Twilight Calls 66/1, 7yo isn't the force of old and though he has a commensurately lower mark, limited appeal down in grade on recent Group-race evidence; stamina a major worry over this stiff 6f here. Classy in his time; struggling for new yard; likely high in weights now back in handicap.
12th	5 12th (5) (5/1 +44%) Jarraaf	5 5/1(+44%)	(5) Jarraaf 5/1, Respectable reappearance fourth in Listed race at Salisbury latest was possibly needed; ended last season with series of in-form, progressive runs over C&D, fair mark; claims. Impressive in two C&D handicaps in 2024; beaten favourite on return; this test will suit.
13th	3 13th (3) (10/1 +60%) Zoum Zoum	10 10/1(+60%)	(3) Zoum Zoum 10/1, Sound reappearance second in Listed race at Salisbury (6f; good to firm) latest allayed concerns that he needs give in the ground; each-way claims if in same form again. Good 5th in the Group 3 Jersey (7f) last June; equally effective at 6f; may do better yet.
14th	22 14th (22) (25/1 +24%) Golden Mind	25 25/1(+24%)	(22) Golden Mind 25/1, Back to form with latest second at Epsom and ran well at this meeting last year, both at 7f; did win at 6f on AW in the winter and a contender if in same form as last time. Close third in Listed race here as 2yo; back to form latest; first 6f turf handicap.
15th	16 15th (16) (16/1 +43%) Cover Up	16 16/1(+43%)	(16) Cover Up 16/1, Capable handicap who has possibilities on best form; however, though he's won at 6f, his optimum is 5f and there's a concern that his stamina will fail him late on over this stiff six. 6f winner on AW; close 5th in Stewards' Cup in 2024; tougher test today; now tongue tied.
16th	4 16th (4) (40/1 -60%) City House	40 40/1(-60%)	(4) City House 40/1, Ran well enough when run was probably needed last time and stiff 6f on this ground is fine but others look better-weighted. Shot up weights for good spell in Bahrain; never-nearer 6th on AW latest; stiff task.
17th	15 17th (15) (20/1 +0%) Orazio	20 20/1(+0%)	(15) Orazio 20/1, Below-par down the field run in a handicap at York last time, eight months ago; needs to rediscover peak form, such as when third in this last year (came from well back); claims on that. Maddening but very capable and a close third in this last year; can go well fresh.
18th	26 18th (26) (40/1 -100%) Germanic	40 40/1(-100%)	(26) Germanic 40/1, Unproven on fast ground and that is a significant question; two promising runs for this yard, latest in a decent race on Newcastle AW (6f); not ruled out. Strong AW form at 6f on second start for yard; it wouldn't surprise to see him go well.
19th	24 19th (24) (20/1 +0%) Woodhay Wonder	20 20/1(+0%)	(24) Woodhay Wonder 20/1, Four of her five wins at Newmarket but two good runs here last season suggest that Newmarket stat is just a coincidence; looks a bit too high in the weights to win a race of this nature. Two close calls over 5f here; suited by Newmarket and might have run better there latest.
20th	25 20th (25) (100/1 -100%) Noble Truth	100 100/1(-100%)	(25) Noble Truth 100/1, Won 7f Gr 3 on this card in 2022 but very little racing and precious little signs of that old ability remaining in three runs since; 4,200gns buy out of David O'Meara's yard; opposed. Made all in the Jersey as a 3yo; poor form in 2025 back from absence; sold 4,200gns since.
21st	20 21st (20) (100/1 -257%) Roman Dragon	100 100/1(-257%)	(20) Roman Dragon 100/1, All six British wins have been at Chester, including last time (5f, though has won at 6f too); down the field in this last year; would appeal much more at the Roodeye. Best form at Chester, winning there in May; never involved in this race last year (100-1).
22nd	27 22nd (27) (28/1 -12%) Saint Lawrence	28 28/1(-12%)	(27) Saint Lawrence 28/1, Won this in 2023 and 3lb lower today; however, most recently runs on AW, latest back from three months off in April, leave 7yo with plenty to prove; change of headgear. Won this in 2023; never reached the frame in 2024; needs to return to his best pronto.
23rd	2 23rd (2) (40/1 +0%) Valiant Force	40 40/1(+0%)	(2) Valiant Force 40/1, Gr 2 winner here (5f) as a 2yo; patchy more recently; this return to 6f may well help but something to prove. Won Group 2 Norfolk here in 2023; three AW wins over the winter; first turf handicap.
24th	14 24th (14) (100/1 -100%) Desert Cop	100 100/1(-100%)	(14) Desert Cop 100/1, Possibly needed the race when down the field over 5f at Epsom most recent; would have liked to have seen more from him there, though; 6f suits better but bit to prove. In form for new yard until well held latest and wasn't good enough in this race last year.
25th	9 25th (9) (16/1 +20%) Shartash	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) Shartash 16/1, This is an attractive mark on pick of his form but he wasn't firing when last seen out in early April and risky proposition in cheekpieces now. Hampered on last two AW starts; had 6f Group-race form last summer and is down the weights.
26th	12 26th (12) (125/1 -89%) Game Run	125 125/1(-89%)	(12) Game Run 125/1, Gr 2 winner back in 2023; handicaps more his thing nowadays, last time narrow winner at Chantilly; unproven on fast ground; probably vulnerable. Won good-ground Group 2 in 2023 but vast majority of best form on good to soft or slower.
27th	19 27th (19) (25/1 +24%) We Never Stop	25 25/1(+24%)	(19) We Never Stop 25/1, Likeable sort who was in good form on the AW prior to latest down-the-field run back on grass (acts on it, including on fast ground); others look better-weighted. Three AW wins at 6f since November; well held on return to turf latest.
28th	17 28th (17) (50/1 -52%) Vadream	50 50/1(-52%)	(17) Vadream 50/1, Ran pretty well in Gr 1 over C&D here last June but 7yo has been very patchy more recently and more juice in the ground would suit ideally too; opposable. Group 3 winner over C&D who often runs well here; well below best so far this year.

17:00 Ascot (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JARRAAF, a previous course-and-distance winner, failed to land the odds on his return in Listed company at Salisbury last month, but he could prove better with that outing under his belt and his stable's runners are going well at present. The hat-trick seeking More Thunder, Aramram and Woodhay Wonder are all closely matched and are shortlisted, while Get It impressed in scoring over track and trip last time and cannot be left out of calculations.

Jarraaf is suited by this C&D and can go well but MORE THUNDER looks as though he'll have more to give on this stiff 6f.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (12/1 +0%) Quai De Bethune	12 12/1(+0%)	(10) Quai De Bethune 12/1, AW winner who ran very well when running-on third upped to 10f in very good Newbury handicap on just second turf start latest; yard in-form; respected. Rather outpaced by winner 2f out in London Gold Cup but kept on well to lose by under 2l.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/4 +39%) Seraph Gabriel	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(5) Seraph Gabriel 11/4, Progressive colt who was improved second (briefly hampered) upped to 1m at Sandown on seasonal debut last time; elements of pedigree encouraging stamina-wise; respected. Upped from 1m; also up 4lb but it looks as if he'll stay and is capable of better for sure.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 +47%) Best Secret	4 4/1(+47%)	(4) Best Secret 4/1, Improved form on handicap debut at Longchamp (10f) last time; unproven on fast ground; has changed owners since last time (same yard); worth a market check. Won handicap debut at Longchamp (1m2f) in April, passing 14 of his 15 rivals to win by 3l.
5th	7 5th (7) (66/1 -164%) Basalt	66 66/1(-164%)	(7) Basalt 66/1, Ran quite well on reappearance at Goodwood last month; cheekpieces first time now need to help spark some improvement; stamina isn't proven either. Four races, the last two Listed, and progressing well; needs more in his first cheekpieces.
6th	14 6th (14) (33/1 +0%) War Socks	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) War Socks 33/1, 7l third in Listed race over 8f at Meydan before winning in Sweden (1m); hard to tie that form in with these but intriguing that very experienced Norwegian yard make rare foray here. From an unusual source to be a Royal Ascot winner but he's not one to dismiss lightly.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -136%) Aurel	33 33/1(-136%)	(8) Aurel 33/1, Made it two from three when just holding on at Leicester (10f) last time; this opening mark demands more and Rossa Ryan switches to stablemate Seraph Gabriel. Has looked raw and a work in progress but he's 2-3 and brings potential to handicap debut.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 +28%) Tycoon	18 18/1(+28%)	(3) Tycoon 18/1, Thrice-raced colt who was third in Listed race at Goodwood most recent run; steadily progressive; cheekpieces first time; sold for £600,000 on Monday (same yard); respected. Listed third at Goodwood (1m3f, good) and could be a very useful prospect; cheekpieces.
9th	17 9th (17) (28/1 -40%) Brindavan	28 28/1(-40%)	(17) Brindavan 28/1, Progressive sort who was C&D winner last time; up 6lb in a better race now and more is needed. Won C&D handicap latest but with only six runners; 6lb higher in this much tougher contest.
10th	1 10th (1) (66/1 -100%) Rock Of Cashel	66 66/1(-100%)	(1) Rock Of Cashel 66/1, Appeared not to stay over 12f at Leopardstown latest; blinkers first time; dropped in grade but looks exposed and Moore looks elsewhere. Minor supporting roles in Group 1s as 2yo; the same this term in Group 3s and Listed race.
11th	9 11th (9) (5/1 +69%) Dakota Blue	5 5/1(+69%)	(9) Dakota Blue 5/1, Gradually progressive; ran well when beaten a short-head at Navan last time on handicap debut; each-way claims at least. Pipped from well off the pace in 1m2f handicap at Navan, travelling smoothly and battling.
12th	13 12th (13) (25/1 -56%) Fantazy Man	25 25/1(-56%)	(13) Fantazy Man 25/1, Progressing well, following up claiming-race win with 10f Fairyhouse handicap success; respected form-wise but Ben Coen jumps ship and this faster ground not sure to suit. Cheekpieces for last two starts and he found plenty for pressure to win them comfortably.
13th	6 13th (6) (12/1 +0%) El Burhan	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) El Burhan 12/1, Improved reappearance winner in first-time tongue tie at Chester (7.6f); this calls for more; pedigree encouraging stamina-wise up in trip. Up 2lb after winning in a bunched finish at Chester (7.6f) but he's bred to relish 1m2f+.
14th	12 14th (12) (20/1 -43%) Roosevelt	20 20/1(-43%)	(12) Roosevelt 20/1, 950,000gns yearling; thrice-raced colt; 12f maiden winner two starts back before dropped back, intriguingly, to 7f latest (well beaten;) tongue-tie first time; top yard; potential improver. 1m4f maiden win before last of ten on handicap debut but that latest run was over just 7f.
15th	11 15th (11) (10/1 +9%) Ernst Blofeld	10 10/1(+9%)	(11) Ernst Blofeld 10/1, Lightly-raced colt who ran to form in good race at Newbury last time; cheekpieces first time; could do with settling better; not far away and there's still the chance of improvement. Retains potential after London Gold Cup 4th, still something to learn; cheekpieces go on.

17:35 Ascot (Class 2) 9f Race Class Flow

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

SALLAAL beat only four rivals when scoring easily over the extended mile at Hamilton, but both the second and third have boosted that form subsequently. Pedigree suggests the son of Frankel will relish this extra distance and Roger Varian's charge looks on a potentially lenient mark now handicapping. Seraph Gabriel also steps up in trip, having finished second in a competitive contest at Sandown on his handicap bow, and he warrants serious consideration. Fast ground is an unknown for the French challenger Best Secret, with Ernst Blofeld, who also sports the Wathnan colours, preferred on his respectable fourth at Newbury last month.

High draws have firmly had the call in previous editions and SERAPH GABRIEL from stall 16 is a strong candidate this time round.

1	1 1st (1) (4/5 +12%) Sober	0.8 4/5(+12%)	(1) Sober 4/5, Yard won this in 2021 and 2022; hurdles debut win on stable debut last time but it's more relevant here to reflect on his very good back Flat form; good chance he'll stay this far. Quality stayer in France; won over hurdles on stable debut; trainer won this four times.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +44%) Samui	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(3) Samui 10/3, Yard won this in 2016 and 2018; good third in a handicap over 1m6f here on Tuesday; stays 2m1f but unproven at further; leading form contender on quick return if seeing it out. Finished strongly for third in a 1m6f handicap here on Tuesday; can be a bit hit and miss.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 -100%) Wild Waves	11 11/1(-100%)	(11) Wild Waves 11/1, Decent 3yo last season but form has levelled off now and no further progress this year; ran to form in Italy last time; stays 14f, untried at further; needs to find a bit extra to win this. Respectable form last season but yet to recapture that this campaign; unraced beyond 1m6f.
4	8 4th (8) (17/2 -21%) Dallas Star	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(8) Dallas Star 17/2, Useful colt who ran to form upped to 2m latest; pedigree raises some doubts about suitability of an extreme trip; there's a ground question too; still a place contender on form, though. Scores highly on the class front at this level but there are glaring stamina concerns.
5th	4 5th (4) (66/1 +18%) Scottish Anthem	66 66/1(+18%)	(4) Scottish Anthem 66/1, Pulled up on hurdles/stable debut latest in March; significant stamina question upped markedly in trip; plenty more needed even on his best form. Pulled up on stable/hurdling debut in March; an unlikely stayer even if he's back on song.
6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 +24%) Youthful King	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Youthful King 25/1, Useful handicapper who won at Sandown over 1m6f last time, seven days ago; plenty more needed and far from sure that the step up an extreme trip (untried beyond 2m) will suit. It was a Class 4 handicap he won over 1m6f last week and he has never won beyond that.
7th	6 7th (6) (8/1 +33%) Trooper Bisdee	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) Trooper Bisdee 8/1, Ran well enough at Goodwood last time on seasonal debut; bit to find with best of these but this capable performer should stay, so place claims. Progressive handicapper the last two years; 2m2f winner on a stiff track, so could stay.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 +0%) King Of The Road	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) King Of The Road 33/1, Fair winning hurdler; stays 2m5f in that sphere; unproven on fast ground; will need to be a much better Flat horse to be a contender in this company. Respectable level over hurdles but this is a belated first run on the Flat.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (33/1 +74%) Toby Tops	33 33/1(+74%)	(10) Toby Tops 33/1, Won well here two starts back (2m; unraced at further) while race possibly came too soon latest; masses to find on these terms and makes next to no appeal. Three-time winner at 2m but would be receiving lumps of weight in a handicap.

18:10 Ascot (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Master trainer Willie Mullins rarely leaves Royal Ascot without a winner and SOBER looks to have been laid out for this unique test following a comfortable success over hurdles at Killarney last month. Formerly with Andre Fabre in France where he landed a pair of Group 2's over staying trips, he may have too much class for most of the opposition. Third in the Copper Horse Stakes earlier in the week, Samui should relish going up in trip and looks the main danger, along with Dallas Star, who has strong claims on his penultimate second to Kyprios at Leopardstown.

This looks an ordinary renewal of the Flat season's longest race and everything points to SOBER being difficult to beat.

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.
