1.625
13/8(+73%)
(7) Words Of Truth 13/8, Raced freely en route to fair debut eighth at Newbury (6f; 9-2) on debut in May; gelded since; more needed but is a possible improver for top yard and needs a close look in the betting.

13:10 Ascot (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to look past NEW MONARCH, who showed up well over slightly further on debut at Newbury last month and he should be able to get off the mark for leading connections. Bred in the purple as a half-brother to the talented Dream Castle, Harbor Lock must enter calculations on debut, along with stablemate Words Of Truth, who has been gelded since a relatively promising debut at Newbury.

The percentage call is Newbury runner-up NEW MONARCH, although Wechaad and Words Of Truth could improve markedly.

Fitzella

2.25
9/4(+72%)
(7) Fitzella 9/4, £170,000 purchase who was creditable fourth in Gr 3 over C&D latest; this isn't necessarily any more competitive, so has to be respected.
Stuck to her guns when fourth in the Albany and was only 3l behind Venetian Sun.

Bella Lyra

14
14/1(+0%)
(3) Bella Lyra 14/1, Debut winner before well-backed close third in Listed race at Newmarket (6f); this calls for more but she's lightly raced and evidently progressive, so worth considering.
Good third in a Listed last time but may struggle to reverse placings with Midnight Tango.

Midnight Tango

(9) Midnight Tango 5/1, Progressive filly who was improved, close second in Listed race at Newmarket (6f) latest; this calls for more but it's quite possible she'll step up again.

Flowerhead

25
25/1(-56%)
(2) Arugam Bay 25/1, Progressive filly who was off the mark in a 6f Fairyhouse maiden before making all to win a 5f Tipperary Listed race last time; going the right way so respected, for all that this is harder.
Irish filly who has won her last two, the latest a Listed; Jamie Spencer booked.
7th

7th (11) Sukanya (20/1 -25%)
Sukanya

20
20/1(-25%)
(11) Sukanya 20/1, Shrugged off trouble in running to win on debut at Newbury (6f; 16-1); that was a very promising start but this demands a big step up form-wise.
Defied market weakness and a troubled run to make a winning start at Newbury.
8th

8th (6) Eskimo Pie (20/1 -25%)
Eskimo Pie

20
20/1(-25%)
(6) Eskimo Pie 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden who improved again up in class and beaten 3l in Gr 2 over 5f here last time; this return to 6f may well suit but needs to find a bit more to land her first win.
0-3 but well above average; bit to find with some of these but has each-way claims.

Daneh Of Dandy

28
28/1(-40%)
(5) Daneh Of Dandy 28/1, Promising start when shrugging off tardy break to win a 6f novice at Ripon on debut; needs to step up a fair bit on that bare form here.
Others in here have achieved appreciably more but she's unbeaten.

(1) Amberia 8/1, Benefited from her winning debut experience (at 7f) when close fourth in 6f Listed race at Newmarket latest; may come on again but very much needs to.
6l debut winner over 7f; showed plenty of speed to be 4th in a 6f Listed at Newmarket.

13:40 Ascot (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

An eyecatching fifth here when keeping on in the Queen Mary last month before registering a Listed success at Sandown, STAYA is likely to relish the step up in trip and she can make it three wins from four outings. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Queen Mary runner-up Flowerhead, although Fitzella was a highly creditable fourth in the Albany and has to be given plenty of respect too.

There was no fluke about FLOWERHEAD's 100-1 second to a seriously good filly in the Queen Mary and she gets the nod.

Cheshire Dancer

22
22/1(+21%)

American Gal

7.5
15/2(+53%)
(6) American Gal 15/2, Yard has won two of last five runnings; bright start to career (around 1m) on AW before upped in class and midfield in 10.5f Prix de Diane at Chantilly; needs a bit more but considered.
French Listed win in May; respectable seventh in Group 1 there since; has progressive RPRs.

3rd (9) Chantilly Lace (11/4 +21%)
Chantilly Lace

2.75
11/4(+21%)
(9) Chantilly Lace 11/4, Won sole 2yo start and creditable runs pitched into Gr 1s this term, when fifth in 1000 Guineas/Coronation Stakes; both those renewals were substandard but leading claims in Gr 3 now.

(8) Cajole 7/2, Yard won this last year; another improved effort when up in class and second in Listed race at Sandown (1m) latest; this is harder again but likely to progress further, so much respected.

6th (4) Royal Dress (4/1 +11%)
Royal Dress

4
4/1(+11%)
(4) Royal Dress 4/1, Uneven look to her form but smart on her day, as when winning well in Listed race at Pontefract (1m) last time; better form when winning 9f Gr 3 at The Curragh last term; big chance.
Group 3 win last July and easy winner of 1m Pontefract Listed latest; leading form claims.

Glittering Surf

16
16/1(-33%)
(10) Glittering Surf 16/1, Two 1m AW wins before around 5l fifth on turf debut at York (1m; Listed race) last time; it's still early days but plenty to find on the face of it.
Only fifth in Listed latest but beat Bermuda Longtail and American Gal on AW prior to that.

Lou Lou's Gift

11/1(-57%)

9th

9th (7) Bermuda Longtail (16/1 -33%)
Bermuda Longtail

16
16/1(-33%)
(7) Bermuda Longtail 16/1, Well beaten in Gr 3 over 8.5f at Epsom latest; in good form prior to that, notably York Listed-race second (1m); definitely needs to improve.
Went close in York Listed race in May and possibly unsuited by the track at Epsom since.

14:20 Ascot (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of the well-bred CAJOLE, who looks to be on an upward curve following a pair of runner-up efforts in the Sandringham at the Royal meeting and the Coral Distaff at Sandown. William Buick taking over in the saddle looks like a positive and she is narrowly preferred to class-dropper Chantilly Lace, who was fifth in the Coronation when last in action. Pontefract Listed winner Royal Dress and Bermuda Longtail are others to note.

Ralph Beckett's CHANTILLY LACE has run well in two Group 1s this season and is preferred to fellow 3yo Cajole.

1st (18) Two Tribes (25/1 -14%)
Two Tribes

25
25/1(-14%)
(18) Two Tribes 25/1, No win since 2023 with handicapper slow to relent as this 4yo runs well in defeat more often than not, as when third at Newmarket last time; no more than each-way chance.
Largely consistent this term but his long losing run continues.

19
2nd (19) Classic (10/1 -18%)
Classic

10
10/1(-18%)
(19) Classic 10/1, The return to 7f is the big unknown but strong contender otherwise, having won good race at Sandown (1m) latest and being 2lb well-in here even under a 3lb penalty; shortlisted.
Well treated under a penalty for Sandown win (future mark 2lb higher); shortlisted.
3
22
3rd (22) Sword (18/1 +28%)
Sword

18
18/1(+28%)
(22) Sword 18/1, Has generally been running well in recent times, while latest York effort (still ran okay) eminently excusable (hampered); more needed on balance up in grade, though.
In form since wearing hood but needs progress upped further in class.
4
5
4th (5) Golden Mind (28/1 -12%)
Golden Mind

28
28/1(-12%)
(5) Golden Mind 28/1, Yard has won two of last 10 runnings; up and down lately and was well held here (6f) last time but possibilities if putting best foot forward; return to 7f may help and not discounted.
No excuses in the Wokingham and likely has nothing in hand off current mark.
5th
14
5th (14) Kodi Lion (11/1 +21%)
Kodi Lion

11
11/1(+21%)
(14) Kodi Lion 11/1, Shade below form latest but back to winning ways at Haydock (6f) the time before and 2024 evidence (including a C&D win) shows that 7f isn't an issue; each-way contender.
Two attempts at Ascot comprise a win last July and solid second this May.
6th
4
6th (4) Northern Express (9/1 +25%)
Northern Express

9
9/1(+25%)
(4) Northern Express 9/1, Just respectable form lately and needs to step up here; however, he's 441 in this and 3lb lower than when winning it in 2024, so bold show wouldn't overly surprise.
Record in this race reads 441, gamely making all off 2lb higher last year; solid.
7th

7th (1) Zoum Zoum (12/1 -9%)
Zoum Zoum

12
12/1(-9%)
(1) Zoum Zoum 12/1, Below-par run in Wokingham (6f) here last time; perhaps 6f on quick ground was too sharp a test then; return to 7f may well help but others look better weighted on balance.
Poorly drawn in the Wokingham; won his only other handicap attempt; in the mix.
8th

8th (13) Billyjoh (12/1 +0%)
Billyjoh

12

(13) Billyjoh 12/1, Good third in Bunbury Cup (Aalto ahead in second) at Newmarket latest; was also second of 26 in top C&D contest 13 months ago and proven big h'cap performer is one to consider.
Ties in with Akkadian Thunder and Aalto on recent efforts; each-way claims.

9th (9) Yorkshire (11/1 +31%)
Yorkshire

11
11/1(+31%)
(9) Yorkshire 11/1, Running well enough for the most part, last time highly respectable sixth of 27 over C&D; no reason why he won't run his race again and is each-way contender.
Has respectable form but looks held by Akkadian Thunder on Royal Ascot running.
10th

10th (17) Lord Bertie (28/1 -12%)
Lord Bertie

28
28/1(-12%)
(17) Lord Bertie 28/1, Slowly away and his hood (left off now) became detached last time, so can be excused that; C&D win last season came on soft and may well need slower ground than that forecast.
Scored over C&D (classified race) last September but this is a harder task.
11th
7
11th (7) Akkadian Thunder (11/4 +54%)
Akkadian Thunder

2.75
11/4(+54%)
(7) Akkadian Thunder 11/4, Down the field at Newmarket latest but raced on the 'wrong' side there; previous good second of 27 over C&D brings him into calculations, despite being 4lb higher here.
Ran well at Royal Ascot; best to forgive his Bunbury Cup effort; remains of interest.
12th
15
12th (15) Qazaq (16/1 -14%)
Qazaq

16
16/1(-14%)
(15) Qazaq 16/1, Perhaps the run was needed and/or ground too fast on turf debut latest; lightly raced and unexposed but that last run raises doubts as to whether he needs the AW to show his best.
Could be dangerous if tapping back into earlier progress; still lightly raced.
13th
10
13th (10) Fresh (25/1 -79%)
Fresh

25
25/1(-79%)
(10) Fresh 25/1, Probably needed race when running okay on Newcastle AW last time; good record here includes a win (2022) and third (2024) in this race; 8yo is fairly weighted and worth considering.
Ascot specialist who won this contest in 2022 and finished third last year.
14th
20
14th (20) Pals Battalion (66/1 -65%)
Pals Battalion

66
66/1(-65%)
(20) Pals Battalion 66/1, Below-par last time five days ago, so perhaps his busy schedule is taking a toll (11th run of 2025 here); rather patchy lately anyway and others are preferred.
Raced mainly over 6f and has gained most wins on AW; enough to prove.
15th
3
15th (3) Array (25/1 -79%)
Array

25
25/1(-79%)
(3) Array 25/1, Just a fair run on the AW last time; better form in previous two starts on return from long absence (missed 2024); possible this former Gr 2-winning 2yo can find more on his 2025 form.
Could go well on handicap debut, albeit needs a career best to defy his mark.

(11) Cerulean Bay 25/1, Possibilities on best of his 2024 form but not fired as yet this season, albeit with excuses of sorts latest (bit too keen); others preferred.

Al Ameen

80
80/1(-100%)
(21) Al Ameen 80/1, 1m might well have been too far latest; progressed well on AW this spring but he's nought from 10 on grass, raising significant doubts about this return to turf now.
Five AW wins; 0-10 on turf and looks badly treated back in this sphere.
18th

Nearly recorded a second win in the Bunbury Cup; ahead of the assessor; big player.

City House

80

Chance depends on how well he responds to added cheekpieces and return to 7f.

Noble Truth

50

(12) Noble Truth 50/1, Smart performer in days of yore, including Gr 3 C&D win in 2022, but easy to oppose on 2025 evidence since back from a long absence.
Four duck eggs since winning the 2022 Jersey; second run for new yard.

Remains without a win since his 2yo days; drops back in distance.

15:00 Ascot (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A host of chances in what looks a typically wide open renewal, including last year's winner Northern Express, who is able to compete from a 2lb lower mark this time around. Aalto holds strong claims having been beaten a nose in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago, as does Billyjoh, who finished behind him in third. However, preference is for CLASSIC, who ended a losing sequence at Sandown latest. The son of Dubawi should find this kind of test to his liking and a 5lb rise will be no barrier to further success. Others to note include Oliver Show and Fresh.

Another chance is given to AKKADIAN THUNDER (nap). Second choice is Zoum Zoum. Also respected are Aalto and Classic.

Upwardly mobile type; fine second in Royal Hunt Cup over C&D; leading contender.

(11) Hickory 12/1, Began the season with a win in a big 7f handicap here but less fruitful time since, particularly so lately; ran well at 1m four starts back but suspicion remains that 7f suits best.
Goes well at Ascot and won Victoria Cup in May; excuses since; cannot be discounted.

Turf strike-rate is just 1-13; behind several of these in the Hunt Cup; others appeal more.

(7) Supido 16/1, Decent 2yo who made promising seasonal/stable debut at Chester in May and built on that when close fifth of 30 in the Britannia over C&D latest; up 2lb but shortlisted.
Unexposed 3yo; fifth in Britannia over C&D five weeks ago; makes the shortlist.

15:35 Ascot (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Form from the Royal meeting could come to the fore and it is FEARNOT that gets the vote. Clive Cox's colt bolted up over C&D in May before finishing an excellent third in the Britannia, while a subsequent 5lb rise is unlikely to halt further progress. Bullet Point was collared late on in the Royal Hunt Cup and the improving four-year-old boasts strong credentials once again, along with Sisyphean, who found only an unexposed rival too strong at York a fortnight ago. Bopedro shouldn't be overlooked either.

Bullet Point's form is rock solid but bTEROOMM\p had no luck in the Britannia and can now gain compensation off the same mark.

16:10 Ascot (Class 1) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Calandagan had to wait a while for his first Group 1 success, but, when finally arriving, it could hardly have come any easier in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Francis-Henri Graffard's gelding merits plenty of respect as the trainer looks to win this prestigious race two years on the bounce, but it is his Epsom conqueror, JAN BRUEGHEL, that gets the nod. The son of Galileo outbattled the former in the Coronation Cup and should the pair become embroiled once again, it is difficult to envisage that form being reversed. Kalpana finished an excellent second in the Pretty Polly last time out and is likely to benefit from a return to further based on her Fillies & Mares success on Champions Day.

Calandagan and Jan Brueghel are top on the figures but difficult to split. The strongest alternative is KALPANA.

16:45 Ascot (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Three-year-olds have won three of the last four runnings of this contest and if TENABILITY improves again stepping up to 1m4f, he could add to that tally. An eight-length winner at Windsor, he makes his handicap debut here for William Haggas, who won this in 2023, and could prove hard to beat. Kuredu King battled back to win narrowly at Haydock and is a more interesting alternative than Criminal, who is potentially well handicapped upped in distance.

It's probably best to concentrate on the unexposed 3yos. First choice is KUREDU KING, ahead of Tenability.

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.
