14:15 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (8/1 -129%) Dreamrocker	8 8/1(-129%)	(11) Dreamrocker 8/1, Struggled first 2 starts in handicap company following Salisbury novice success last summer but she has taken steps back in the right direction with solid placed efforts at York (7f) and Goodwood (1m) the last twice (both on good - untried on slower). Major player. Has come from well off the pace to be placed at York and Goodwood; improving.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 +13%) Leuven Power	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(1) Leuven Power 13/2, Dual winner in 2022 and, having missed the whole of last season (gelded in the interim), this lightly-raced 5-y-o has resumed with creditable efforts in 1m handicaps at Redcar and Salisbury. Raced only on good/good to firm to date, so guesswork will be in order if the ground is on the slow side. He's stuck on a fairly tough mark and has thus far steered clear of soft ground.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +0%) Botas	7 7/1(+0%)	(3) Botas 7/1, Back in the winning groove at Kempton (1m) towards the end of May and bumped into a handicap blot when second back on turf at Goodwood. Better than bare result returned to Kempton recently and he was second to One Step Beyond in this race last year, but he nevertheless looks vulnerable. Second in this 12 months ago and probably returns in similar sort of form.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 -344%) Desfondado	40 40/1(-344%)	(7) Desfondado 40/1, Opened turf account at Epsom last summer and in good form on the AW in recent months, scoring at Lingfield in April and recently at Kempton (1m) where he came sweeping through from the rear in a race run at an ordinary gallop. 4 lb rise tolerable but slow ground would be a negative for this 4-y-o. Arrives here in good form but he's not looked in love with soft ground in the past.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 +47%) Baltimore Boy	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(4) Baltimore Boy 17/2, Best effort since joining this yard when 1¼ lengths third to Botas at Kempton on penultimate start. However, good run of form came to a grinding halt back on turf at Yarmouth (record on grass stands at 0-9) and he's likely to come up short once more. Placed in one of five runs for this yard but could have run better last time at Yarmouth.
6th	10 6th (10) (300/1 -1775%) Grey Fox	300 300/1(-1775%)	(10) Grey Fox 300/1, Got his head back in front at Newbury in May but subsequent performances at Windsor and Kempton have not been overly inspiring. Others make more appeal. Well beaten in two runs since Newbury success and soft-ground exploits are uninspiring.
7th	2 7th (2) (22/1 -633%) Stockpyle	22 22/1(-633%)	(2) Stockpyle 22/1, Underwent a wind op following truncated 2023 campaign and has looked better than ever of late, recording back-to-back wins at Kempton and Chepstow (both over this trip). 7 lb rise for latest success fair enough given his superiority and likely to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. Firmly on the upgrade since returning from wind surgery; easy win last time off 7lb lower.
8th	6 8th (6) (125/1 -400%) Crystal Casque	125 125/1(-400%)	(6) Crystal Casque 125/1, Successful over C&D off this mark last September and also hit the target on the AW during the winter. Has barely beaten a rival home in 5 appearances since the turn of the year, though, and she needs to bounce back. Multiple winner but recent efforts leave her with questions to answer right now.
9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 -900%) One Step Beyond	80 80/1(-900%)	(9) One Step Beyond 80/1, Landed this race 12 months ago and returned to form following a string of low-key efforts when a close third back here in May. Reproduction of that would put him firmly in the picture but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Goodwood where he looked a hard ride. Won this last year and his third here in May reads well; excused latest failure.
10th	8 10th (8) (66/1 -450%) Royal Parade	66 66/1(-450%)	(8) Royal Parade 66/1, Plummeted down the weights and took a step back in right direction when finding just one too strong at Chelmsford (1m) last month. However, he failed to build on the promise of that run over the same C&D recently and he's another that wouldn't want the word 'soft' to appear in the going description. Didn't pick up at all at Chelmsford last weekend and this looks tougher again.
11th	5 11th (5) (250/1 -3471%) Powdering	250 250/1(-3471%)	(5) Powdering 250/1, In fine fettle this year, successful at Wolverhampton in April and then won 3 on the bounce on turf the following month. Didn't do much wrong when fourth of 10 at Kempton last time but a clear personal best will be needed if she's to add to her tally off this career-high mark. Has won her last three on turf, most impressive on soft; still on a fair mark.

14:15 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Stockpyle has scored at Kempton and Chepstow recently and he is of clear interest in his hat-trick bid, but preference is for DREAMROCKER. Ed Walker's filly caught the eye when keeping on for third at York in May, before finishing a close-up second at Goodwood the following month. She's looked a little outpaced on both occasions so this stiff finish should suit, and pedigree suggests she will have no problem with any cut in the ground. Others to note include Powdering and last year's victor One Step Beyond.

The vote goes to DREAMROCKER, who was strong at the finish when runner-up at Goodwood last time and she promises to be suited by this stiffer track. The hat-trick seeking Stockpyle is an obvious danger and he is feared most ahead of Leuven Power and last year's winner One Step Beyond.

This race could suit the improving DREAMROCKER (nap) who has done well to hit the frame from unpromising positions the last twice.

14:50 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (14/1 -180%) Art Market	14 14/1(-180%)	(3) Art Market 14/1, Bettered debut effort when fifth of 12 in minor event at Sandown (5f, good to firm) last month and latest run when upped to 6f at Windsor was no backward step, for all that he was only sixth in that 9-runner contest. Brought along steadily, sixth at Windsor 13 days ago; player now going into nurseries.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -125%) Patsy Snugfit	9 9/1(-125%)	(4) Patsy Snugfit 9/1, Shaped quite nicely on debut and not seen to best effect when fifth of 10 in novice event at Newmarket (6f, good) next time. No real excuses at Windsor last time, though, and improvement needed now pitched into a nursery. Fair form shown in three runs thus far; could still do better on her handicap debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 +21%) Berkshire Kameo	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(1) Berkshire Kameo 11/4, Failed to build on debut promise when only fifth at Newbury on penultimate start but took a step back in the right direction when third in a 9-runner Windsor novice (6f, good to firm). Appeals as the type to do better now pitched into a nursery and he's strongly considered. Good third at Windsor 13 days ago; steps into nurseries now so needs considering.
4	5 4th (5) (10/3 -48%) Number	3.333333 10/3(-48%)	(5) Number 10/3, Has performed to a similar level in each of his 3 starts, with things not going entirely his way when turned over at odds on in a 6f Chelmsford maiden last time. Mark for this nursery debut looks fair and he should make his presence felt. Good second in 6f Chelmsford maiden 36 days ago; firmly in the picture now handicapping.
5th	2 5th (2) (100/1 -3233%) New Charter	100 100/1(-3233%)	(2) New Charter 100/1, Has failed to match the promise of her Newmarket debut second in 3 subsequent starts but she didn't do much wrong when second in a 3-runner maiden on the July course there (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Drop back to 6f for this nursery bow looks a good move and she should be in the thick of things. Solid second in 7f Newmarket maiden 13 days ago; not taken lightly on nursery debut.

14:50 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Only a tentative vote can go to the Eve Johnson Houghton-trained PATSY SNUGFIT. She's shown clear promise across her three starts and the latest of those at Windsor, won by subsequent Listed winner Celandine, suggests an opening mark of 72 is within range. Ground conditions will be no barrier to success for Number and he is perhaps the main threat. Berkshire Kameo does not lack for speed and the son of Kameko is also noted.

This looks pretty trappy and the suggestion is NEW CHARTER, who split a couple of potentially pretty decent fillies in a 7f Newmarket maiden last time and this drop back in trip will be in her favour. Berkshire Kameo and Art Market may both have more to offer now venturing down the nursery route and are feared in that order of preference, while Number also enters the reckoning.

The vote goes to William Haggas' progressive ART MARKET who looks ready to take a sizeable step forward now he goes into nursery company

15:25 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (11/1 +0%) Zain Blue	11 11/1(+0%)	(7) Zain Blue 11/1, Fairly useful form in maiden/novice events at 2 yrs and shaped well switched to a handicap when chasing home The Ice Phoenix on the straight course here in May. However, efforts since has lacked spark and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Maiden who had no excuses last time and soft ground will be a first for him.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +0%) Cerulean Bay	8 8/1(+0%)	(6) Cerulean Bay 8/1, Successful first 2 starts of his 3-race juvenile campaign (sole defeat was in Group 3 company) and encouraging efforts in handicaps at Beverley and Haydock during the spring. However, he has struggled to land a telling blow subsequently and looks vulnerable. Mostly consistent and didn't get the breaks when behind Ebt's Guard at Yarmouth.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +11%) Ebt's Guard	4 4/1(+11%)	(3) Ebt's Guard 4/1, Consistent type who deservedly opened his account when landing the odds in 1m Thirsk maiden last month. Has gone close on each of his 3 starts in handicaps this season, including at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, and should give another good account. Goes on soft and, despite a harsh 5lb rise for latest defeat, he's on the shortlist.
4	2 4th (2) (50/1 -567%) Apiarist	50 50/1(-567%)	(2) Apiarist 50/1, Came good at the fourth time of asking when edging ahead late on to bag a valuable sales race in the mud at York last October. Never dangerous on return at Newmarket but better effort when third in a 12-runner Haydock handicap (8.2f, good to soft) next time (gelded since). Place possibilities. His Haydock form looks quite strong and there's a bigger effort in him.
5th	8 5th (8) (28/1 -700%) Global Asset	28 28/1(-700%)	(8) Global Asset 28/1, Brought along steadily as a 2-y-o and has predictably improved switched to handicaps this season, finding just one too strong at Windsor and Nottingham either side of his breakthrough success at Newmarket (1m, good to firm). Now tried in cheekpieces and looks sure to be involved in the finish. Progressive gelding despite last week's Nottingham defeat; cheekpieces are added.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -389%) T'challa	22 22/1(-389%)	(4) T'challa 22/1, Made it third time lucky when narrowly prevailing in a 1m Windsor novice (good to firm) last month, the front 2 pulling clear of the rest. Mark for this handicap debut is plausible, particularly with further progress likely, and he's one to consider. Windsor novice winner and this scopey son of Kingman can surely improve some more.
7th	9 7th (9) (25/1 -127%) Bigbertiebassett	25 25/1(-127%)	(9) Bigbertiebassett 25/1, Gelded during the winter and made a fairly encouraging reappearance here when fourth in the handicap won by The Ice Phoenix. Not in the same form at Haydock next time, though, and one or two of these look stronger. Novice winner with one notable effort in handicaps; below par latest; soft ground?.
8th	5 8th (5) (80/1 -471%) Respectful	80 80/1(-471%)	(5) Respectful 80/1, Left his first 2 efforts well behind when winning 11-runner novice at Ayr in September. Followed up at Redcar a month later but reappearance effort at York left much to be desired (since changed hands and gelded). Won twice at two; quiet on return and since left Karl Burke for 21,000gns; now gelded.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (400/1 -8789%) Magnum Opus	400 400/1(-8789%)	(1) Magnum Opus 400/1, Improved with each of his 3 runs at 2 yrs, culminating in a fairly decisive success at Chelmsford (1m) in November. Too keen tried in a visor on return/handicap debut at Sandown and much more like it when scoring in good style with the headgear discarded at Pontefract (1m, good). Up 6 lb. Penalised for recent 3l success at Pontefract but has to deal with slower ground here.

15:25 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Magnum Opus picked up off a strong pace at Pontefract recently and, though respected, he might be vulnerable under a penalty. Global Asset is officially 3lb well-in having struck the woodwork at Nottingham on Saturday and he could find more for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, but it is EBT'S GUARD who shades the vote. The Cable Bay colt bumped into one at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and a 5lb rise looks fair.

There should be more to come from T'CHALLA, who pulled clear with another well-bred type when opening his account at Windsor and has been handed what looks a fair mark for this handicap debut. William Haggas has saddled the winner of this race a couple of times in recent years and his representative Global Asset is a big threat having done little wrong on each of his three starts this season. Ebt's Guard and Magnum Opus are others to consider.

There should be a big run in APIARIST who ran well from off the pace at Haydock after being dropped in from a wide draw.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (9/2 +44%) Ya Hafhd	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(7) Ya Hafhd 9/2, Off the mark at Southwell (11.1f) in December and shaped with plenty of encouragement when second on handicap debut at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) on return. Disappointing over this trip at Goodwood next time but it remains early days. Lightly raced but last time (1m4f, good) was disappointing and it's hard to know why.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 -10%) Crystal Flyer	11 11/1(-10%)	(8) Crystal Flyer 11/1, Had a bit in hand when opening her account at Goodwood (9.9f) in May and ran respectably despite only beating one rival home at Sandown (bit keen early). Longer trip should suit and she could figure. Bred to stay and could be interesting under these conditions if she can settle.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/2 -18%) Loughville	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(3) Loughville 13/2, Successful at Bath and Wetherby this term and a good third in similar event at Chester a fortnight ago. Improving but stamina to prove here. Has won two of her last three and shouldn't be judged on her Chester third.
4	1 4th (1) (66/1 -371%) There's The Door	66 66/1(-371%)	(1) There's The Door 66/1, Good third in this last year before scoring at Glorious Goodwood. Caught the eye at Epsom in April but below form back at Goodwood 7 weeks ago. Wouldn't dismiss down in class. Has run some fair races in defeat this season without looking on top of her game.
5th	2 5th (2) (200/1 -2122%) Flash Bardot	200 200/1(-2122%)	(2) Flash Bardot 200/1, Good record in the mud, successful on return in fillies' handicap at Doncaster in April. Not so good in Class 2 events since but could bounce back here for in-form yard. Loves the mud but needs optimum conditions to defy this sort of mark.
6th	6 6th (6) (200/1 -2567%) Molten Rock	200 200/1(-2567%)	(6) Molten Rock 200/1, Did the job well when making a winning debut at Redcar (1m, heavy) in October before sound third in a Newmarket listed contest. Yet to fire this season, but now back up in trip for handicap bow taking on the older horses. This drop into handicap company is welcomed but she needs a revival.
7th	4 7th (4) (350/1 -4900%) Moogie	350 350/1(-4900%)	(4) Moogie 350/1, Three-time winner on AW but proved herself fully effective on turf as she did best of the older fillies behind a 3-y-o handicap debutante when second here (1¼m) in first-time hood in May. Struggled in Group 3 next time and this more her bag. Player if proving stamina. Outclassed last time; fair shout back in a handicap should conditions dry out.
8th	5 8th (5) (100/1 -2400%) La Dame Blanche	100 100/1(-2400%)	(5) La Dame Blanche 100/1, Has made a fine start for this trainer, taking useful Cork handicap over this trip 4 weeks ago. Dangerous to dismiss. 12lb out of the weights in winning a Cork handicap; this mark might not be beyond her.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -5355%) Galaxy Princess	150 150/1(-5355%)	(9) Galaxy Princess 150/1, Split subsequent winners at Salisbury before scoring herself at Windsor 3 weeks ago, coming clear with a bit in hand. Will stay this longer trip now handicapping and big player with more improvement to come. Odds-on winner of a Windsor novice; likely improver upped in trip for handicap debut.

16:00 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

LOUGHVILLE looked a progressive handicapper to keep very much on the right side of when running out a comfortable winner over 1m2f at Wetherby on her penultimate start and, after shaping with more credit than the bare result suggests over the same trip when third at Chester most recently, she gets the vote to return to winning ways upped in trip off an unchanged mark. The unexposed Galaxy Princess merits respect on her handicap debut, while Irish raider La Dame Blanche is noted too.

GALAXY PRINCESS seems sure to improve now handicapping upped in trip and makes the most appeal. Irish raider La Dame Blanche is of firm interest, while Flash Bardot is another to consider.

It could pay to give another chance to CRYSTAL FLYER who was coming along nicely before not looking herself on fast ground at Sandown.

1	5 1st (5) (25/1 -79%) Fantasy Believer	25 25/1(-79%)	(5) Fantasy Believer 25/1, Newmarket winner from 2 lb higher a year ago so definite claims from a handicapping perspective, though he ended the year in slightly disappointing fashion. Represents in-form yard ahead of reappearance. Multiple winner; returns on a competitive mark and record fresh bodes well.
2	1 2nd (1) (17/2 +6%) Mustazeed	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(1) Mustazeed 17/2, Back-to-back winner at Newbury last spring and fair efforts in defeat from revised mark later that year. Couple of steadily-run races against him this year and this represents a drop in class. Not won in over a year; slipping back to a better mark but opposable at the minute.
3	8 3rd (8) (15/2 +46%) Al Mootamarid	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(8) Al Mootamarid 15/2, 200,000 gns half-brother to top-class winner up to 1½m Golden Horn. Off the mark at third attempt at Chelmsford (10f) in November and encouraging return when third behind Per Contra on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Disappointing at York since but it's still early days. Didn't offer much at York but gelded in the meantime and he's still lightly raced.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -120%) Miller Spirit	11 11/1(-120%)	(2) Miller Spirit 11/1, Isn't straightforward but that isn't holding him back at present, recording a brace of wins at Goodwood last month. Up 4 lb and this a deeper race back in trip in hat-trick bid but he clearly commands respect. Recent Goodwood wins have been over further but effective at this trip; up 4lb.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -64%) Moonlit Cloud	18 18/1(-64%)	(7) Moonlit Cloud 18/1, Confirmed promise of Doncaster run when off the mark for the season at Bath in May. Shaped nicely both starts since without looking to have much in hand now. In career-best form until York last time and it's easy to envisage her bouncing back.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -391%) Condor Pasa	8 8/1(-391%)	(6) Condor Pasa 8/1, Put experience to good use when making fourth start a winning one in maiden company at Carlisle last month. In good hands and mark could be lenient, so has to be of major interest. Carlisle form has been let down but he brings potential into handicaps for his top yard.
7th	10 7th (10) (100/1 -1011%) Mafnood	100 100/1(-1011%)	(10) Mafnood 100/1, Winner of 1m Haydock novice as a 2-y-o and returned with solid efforts all 4 starts this season without being able to crank it up a notch (blinkers on last twice). Divided older opposition last time at Newmarket and should be on the premises.
8th	3 8th (3) (250/1 -1463%) Winter Reprise	250 250/1(-1463%)	(3) Winter Reprise 250/1, Has just a maiden win in 2020 to his name despite useful level of ability. Down in the weights and shaped nicely at Newbury in May but unable to build on that at Newcastle since. Could have run better last time at Newcastle and has become a hard horse to call.
9th	4 9th (4) (80/1 -567%) Prophet's Dream	80 80/1(-567%)	(4) Prophet's Dream 80/1, Dual 1¼m handicap winner for Sir Mark Todd and made a sound start for new yard when fourth at Leicester (8.2f) in May. Step back up in trip in his favour. Dual 1m2f winner who ran okay over 1m on reappearance; front runs.
10th	9 10th (9) (400/1 -2757%) Specialisation	400 400/1(-2757%)	(9) Specialisation 400/1, Far more clued up than on sole start at 2 yrs and duly proved a different proposition as he won 8.6f Wolverhampton novice on return in April, coming clear of a subsequent next-time-out winner. Not in quite the same form at Newmarket and now goes handicapping. Well beaten in two novices either side of a Wolverhampton win that reads well.

16:35 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Specialisation has showed enough in his three qualifying runs to suggest that he can play a hand in a race of this nature, and he must be respected on his handicap bow. However, preference is for CONDOR PASA. Roger Varian's charge opened his account with the minimum of fuss over 1m1f at Carlisle last month and, upped in trip on his handicap debut, another bold showing looks assured. Mafnood can also get involved.

CONDOR PASA looked very professional when scoring at Carlisle and as an improving 3-y-o making his handicap debut from what could be a lenient mark, his claims are fairly obvious. Miller Spirit is quirky but it's hard to knock him of late so he's a threat, with Mustazeed one to consider at likely longer odds.

Preference is for MAFNOOD, who did well when dividing older rivals at Newmarket last time, ahead of Condor Pasa.

1	9 1st (9) (3/1 +57%) Jarraaf	3 3/1(+57%)	(9) Jarraaf 3/1, Winning debut on the AW in October. Restricted to just 2 runs since but promise each time, fourth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good to soft, 7/1) 27 days ago. May have a bigger performance in him. 2yo winner; ran well under a penalty on return and handicap debut didn't go to plan.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +29%) Fresh	5 5/1(+29%)	(4) Fresh 5/1, Multiple-course winner but fourteen runs since last success in 2022. Shaped quite nicely at Haydock but having missed the cut for the Wokingham, he was below form when seventh of 26 in handicap at this course (7f, firm, 11/1) 22 days ago. Ascot specialist; best days have come in big fields and this might not be strongly run.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -118%) Rhythm N Hooves	12 12/1(-118%)	(5) Rhythm N Hooves 12/1, Royal Ascot winner last term and back in the groove sporting first-time blinkers in a 9-runner event at Doncaster (6f, good) at the end of May. Easy to draw a line though his subsequent Goodwood display and quickly back on the up when second at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. Very effective at 5f but already a 6f winner this season; strong form when 2nd latest.
4	6 4th (6) (80/1 -1233%) Executive Decision	80 80/1(-1233%)	(6) Executive Decision 80/1, Back-to-back handicap winner over 6f last summer but ended 2023 with a brace of heavy defeats. Shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off at Windsor, and Epsom performance confirms she's back in excellent heart. Now below last winning mark. Not had lots of racing and has proved herself very effective on good to soft ground.
5th	8 5th (8) (66/1 -725%) Bishop's Crown	66 66/1(-725%)	(8) Bishop's Crown 66/1, Picked up where he left off when winning at Windsor in April. Runner-up at Goodwood next time and easy enough to excuse both subsequent defeats. Did well on the switch to sprinting but his last couple of runs need forgiving.
6th	1 6th (1) (300/1 -11900%) Glenfinnan	300 300/1(-11900%)	(1) Glenfinnan 300/1, Got off the mark for his new yard over C&D in May and confirmed he's better than ever with a brace of excellent efforts since, latterly when fifth in the Wokingham 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on for the first time. On two visits here this season he's won and finished fifth in the Wokingham.
7th	7 7th (7) (250/1 -1463%) The Big Board	250 250/1(-1463%)	(7) The Big Board 250/1, Won three of her first 4 starts in 2023 and stepped up on this season's reappearance when fourth over C&D in May. Unable to carry on the good work since. Well handicapped but you wouldn't think it on her last couple of runs.
8th	2 8th (2) (66/1 -915%) Mums Tipple	66 66/1(-915%)	(2) Mums Tipple 66/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023 and just a fair effort when mid-field in the Wokingham 3 weeks ago. 2 lb ease in the weights will help his cause. Respectable Ascot record and it's been a long time since he was this low in the weights.
9th	3 9th (3) (250/1 -2400%) Rizg	250 250/1(-2400%)	(3) Rizg 250/1, Won sole start as a juvenile and displayed useful form in light 2022 campaign. Missed all of 2023 and excuses on last month's return/handicap debut, too free and also hampered. This will reveal more. Smart as 2yo and 3yo; missed 2023; Newcastle run was promising after a long absence.

17:10 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

In a wide-open affair in which a case can be made for many, just a tentative vote goes to GLENFINNAN. The son of Harry Angel was last seen finishing an excellent fifth in the Wokingham here last month and, sporting first-time cheekpieces off an unchanged mark, this C&D winner looks the one to side with. Fresh is well handicapped on old form and he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Jarraaf.

EXECUTIVE DECISION's form last summer reads very well and having confirmed that she's back in good order at Epsom last time, she now looks ready to cash in on her reduced mark. Glenfinnan will find this easier than the Wokingham so he should be right in the mix, with Jarraaf another to consider at the other end of the weights.

The 3yo JARRAAF continues to give the impression there's more to come and dropping back to sprinting could be the trigger he needs.
