1	18 1st (18) (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.
2	19 2nd (19) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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	1 7th (1) (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	13 8th (13) (12/1 +0%) Billyjoh		12 12/1(+0%)																															(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 9th (9) (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	17 10th (17) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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.
16th	11 16th (11) (25/1 +0%) Cerulean Bay		25 25/1(+0%)																															(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. Has lacked consistency this season; no apparent excuses last time.
17th	21 17th (21) (80/1 -100%) 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	16 18th (16) (11/2 +8%) Aalto		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(16) Aalto 11/2, Excellent second when close second in his bid for a second Bunbury Cup win at Newmarket last time; 5lb well-in now; hampered when around 2l ninth in this last year; shortlisted. Nearly recorded a second win in the Bunbury Cup; ahead of the assessor; big player.
19th	2 19th (2) (80/1 -186%) City House		80 80/1(-186%)																															(2) City House 80/1, Below-par runs last twice now; cheekpieces first time; bit to find on balance and others look better weighted. Chance depends on how well he responds to added cheekpieces and return to 7f.
20th	12 20th (12) (50/1 +0%) Noble Truth		50 50/1(+0%)																															(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.
21st	6 21st (6) (28/1 -12%) Galeron		28 28/1(-12%)																															(6) Galeron 28/1, Not yet been placed since returning from 2024 stint in Australia but again ran pretty respectably at Sandown latest, so not completely ruled; 1m probably more suitable, though. 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.

1	8 1st (8) (10/1 -54%) Fearnot		10 10/1(-54%)																															(8) Fearnot 10/1, Lightly-raced colt who was improved winner over C&D and then bettered that form again when close third of 30 in the Britannia here latest; up 5lb but progressing well; claims. Loves Ascot and followed easy win here with close third in the Britannia; major player.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +29%) Bullet Point		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(1) Bullet Point 5/2, Yard won this last year; most progressive 4yo who came on again when second of 30 in the Hunt Cup over C&D last time; 3lb rise is fair and a leading player here. Upwardly mobile type; fine second in Royal Hunt Cup over C&D; leading contender.
3	11 3rd (11) (12/1 +33%) Hickory		12 12/1(+33%)																															(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.
4	12 4th (12) (13/2 +41%) Cosi Bello		6.5 13/2(+41%)																															(12) Cosi Bello 13/2, Thrice-raced 3yo who lost his unbeaten record but enhanced reputation when close second on turf/handicap debut latest; has shaped as if 1m will be within range; unexposed; respected. Followed two AW wins with fine second at Chester; anything but exposed; must be considered.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 +0%) Talis Evolvere		25 25/1(+0%)																															(6) Talis Evolvere 25/1, Creditable placed runs on Newcastle AW and at York lately; they were at 7f but has won at 1m; this calls for more than those recent efforts, though. Turf strike-rate is just 1-13; behind several of these in the Hunt Cup; others appeal more.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 -83%) Cogitate		33 33/1(-83%)																															(10) Cogitate 33/1, Welcome return to winning ways at Salisbury in June but decisively held twice since and doubt that a 1lb drop since is enough to make him a leading player in this competitive race. Produced a personal best to win at Salisbury in May but twice unplaced since.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -33%) Supido		16 16/1(-33%)																															(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.
8th	9 8th (9) (8/1 -33%) Teroomm		8 8/1(-33%)																															(9) Teroomm 8/1, Down the field in the Britannia here latest but it's possible the ground was too quick then; progressing well before that and it's quite possible this 3yo can rebound with a big run here. Completed hat-trick before meeting trouble in the Britannia; very dangerous with more luck.
9th	13 9th (13) (25/1 +0%) Hawksbill		25 25/1(+0%)																															(13) Hawksbill 25/1, Behind some of these over C&D last time in June but raced on the 'wrong' side then; gelded since; on a fair mark on his earlier form and not discounted. Well held in the Britannia and subsequently gelded; previous efforts give him a squeak.
10th	3 10th (3) (14/1 -40%) Bopedro		14 14/1(-40%)																															(3) Bopedro 14/1, Down the field in this last year but 9yo is generally dependable and, after sound thirds in the Hunt Cup and at York on last two starts, has solid each-way shout again. Third in Royal Hunt Cup (C&D) and at York last two starts; should be thereabouts again.
11th	2 11th (2) (100/1 -25%) Tarkhan		100 100/1(-25%)																															(2) Tarkhan 100/1, Multiple winner on the Continent; down the field in three runs for new yard this season; best watched until showing more. Listed winner in Germany but little impact in three handicaps since moving to Britain.
12th	15 12th (15) (9/1 +25%) Competizione		9 9/1(+25%)																															(15) Competizione 9/1, Won well at odds of 1-7 in a 1m novice latest; seemingly held by a couple of these on previous C&D Britannia form but he's lightly raced and with a top yard, so not discounted. In deep again after Windsor win but he's low mileage, in good hands and hard to rule out.
13th	5 13th (5) (7/1 +18%) Sisyphean		7 7/1(+18%)																															(5) Sisyphean 7/1, Respectable ninth behind some of these in the Hunt Cup, when probably made too much use of; front-running seconds at York either side of that make him a definite contender. Twice close second at York but only ninth in Royal Hunt Cup over C&D in between.
14th	16 14th (16) (12/1 +52%) Mythical Guest		12 12/1(+52%)																															(16) Mythical Guest 12/1, Possible to construct an each-way form case on pick of this season's efforts, including over C&D, but has a modest strike-rate and others are preferred for win purposes. Goes well at Ascot, third last time; in the mix again but others appeal more for the win.
15th	4 15th (4) (40/1 -60%) Whitcombe Rockstar		40 40/1(-60%)																															(4) Whitcombe Rockstar 40/1, Progressed well on turf and (mostly) AW last year; fitness and ground (too fast?) doubts excuse last month's well beaten return in the Hunt Cup here; others are better weighted though. Six wins in 2024, mainly on AW, but well beaten at 100-1 in the Hunt Cup on reappearance.
16th	17 16th (17) (33/1 -83%) Madame De Sevigne		33 33/1(-83%)																															(17) Madame De Sevigne 33/1, Creditable recent runs returned to 1m but bit more is needed here and there's a slight stamina doubt still over a stiff, straight 1m such as this. Neck second of five to a progressive winner at Nottingham in June but this is warmer.
17th	14 17th (14) (50/1 -25%) Duke's Command		50 50/1(-25%)																															(14) Duke's Command 50/1, In good form prior to latest below-par run (no obvious excuse); even those earlier in-form runs need improving upon in better grade here. No obvious excuses when down the field at Hamilton and this is far more competitive.

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.

1	1 1st (1) (11/10 +37%) Calandagan		1.1 11/10(+37%)																															(1) Calandagan 11/10, Yard won this last year; won well in Gr 1 at Saint Cloud latest; every chance, just outmuscled by Jan Brueghel in Coronation Cup at Epsom before that; leading form contender. Impressive over C&D last term; record of 22221 since upped to Group 1 level; rock solid.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 -67%) Kalpana		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(5) Kalpana 15/2, Unraced as 2yo before progressing well last year, winding up with Gr 1 C&D win against her own sex; two creditable runs in 10f Gr 1s this season; needs bit more back against males now. Record of 3-4 over 1m3f-1m4f; returns to the scene of her Group 1 win last October.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -11%) Rebel's Romance		5 5/1(-11%)																															(4) Rebel's Romance 5/1, Winner of seven Gr 1s, though none in Britain; made too much use of in this in 2024 (third); won Gr 2 over C&D well last time; admirable 7yo's form is slightly below the top two here. Glorious globetrotter; won the Hardwicke most recently; no 7yo has landed this prize.
4	3 4th (3) (5/2 -43%) Jan Brueghel		2.5 5/2(-43%)																															(3) Jan Brueghel 5/2, 2024 St Leger winner; improved again and seemed to win on merit in Coronation Cup at Epsom (from Calandagan) last time; cheekpieces first time may well help; the one to beat. Rallied to beat Calandagan in Coronation Cup, taking record to 5-6; highly respected.
5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 +60%) Continuous		40 40/1(+60%)																															(2) Continuous 40/1, St Leger winner in 2023; has been used as a pacemaker more recently, including when well beaten behind two of today's principals at Epsom last month; similar scenario likely here. Pacemaker for Jan Brueghel and set to be swallowed up in the latter stages.

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.

1	3 1st (3) (11/10 +45%) Tenability		1.1 11/10(+45%)																															(3) Tenability 11/10, Well backed when winning a novice at Windsor over 10f very well last time; shaped as though he'll stay 12f; improved last time and may well progress again now; leading player. Clear improvement with tongue-tie applied at Windsor last time; still unexposed.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 +8%) Criminal		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(4) Criminal 11/2, Plenty of ability in three runs, twice at 10f and then back at 8.6f; by stamina influence sire and may well improve for 12f now; very much respected. Consistent efforts thus far; open to progress now handicapping; interesting.
3	7 3rd (7) (25/1 -150%) Bohemian Breeze		25 25/1(-150%)																															(7) Bohemian Breeze 25/1, Back to winning ways at Brighton (10f; has won at 12f too) last time; up in grade and the weights (3lb) and looks vulnerable for win purposes. Not an obvious type to follow up his Brighton win; back up two grades.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 -57%) Venezuelan		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(2) Venezuelan 11/2, Maiden who is a live contender on the form of his Newmarket handicap second on penultimate start in particular; blinkers first time; not sure to stay 12f on pedigree; much respected. Possibilities if taking well to blinkers and proving suited by the new trip.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +20%) Kuredu King		4 4/1(+20%)																															(6) Kuredu King 4/1, Breakthrough win in first-time blinkers (retained) last time at Haydock (extended 11f), keeping on well late on; 300,000gns yearling is bred to be better than a 76-rated horse; claims. Took well to first-time blinkers at Haydock and the form has substance; up only 2lb.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +0%) Hackney Diamonds		12 12/1(+0%)																															(8) Hackney Diamonds 12/1, Best run of her season when upped to 10.3f at Chester last time; mixed messages from pedigree as regards 12f now; bit more needed and looks rather exposed relative to some here. Unlikely to stay this trip and is more exposed than the other 3yos.
7th	1 7th (1) (40/1 -150%) Belcamo		40 40/1(-150%)																															(1) Belcamo 40/1, 12f Flat winner for Andrew Balding last season; hasn't fully transferred that Flat ability to hurdles since then; will be fit enough but bit to prove back in this sphere. Ordinary form over hurdles since last Flat run; no easy task off top weight.

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.

3	12 3rd (12) (50/1 -25%) King Of Stars		50 50/1(-25%)																															(12) King Of Stars 50/1, Below par beaten 9l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; enjoys making it; form going the wrong way; reduced mark not enough to recommend Well treated on best form, including over C&D; lacks a recent run but can go well fresh.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 +31%) Toca Madera		11 11/1(+31%)																															(7) Toca Madera 11/1, Below par beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time; usually consistent; spring form franked at top level; interesting at a price Some good 5f runs earlier but he came up well short over C&D recently; up against it.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 +14%) Glamorous Breeze		12 12/1(+14%)																															(10) Glamorous Breeze 12/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 83 at Haydock penultimate start; fifth beaten a length off 88 last time let down by slow start; consistent on sound surface; leading player On the crest of another wave this year, winning two and close 5th over C&D latest.

17:15 Ascot (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Vintage Clarets was beaten a nose at Newcastle last month and can go well, despite a 3lb rise in the handicap. Emperor Spirit won his fourth race at Newmarket and has to enter the reckoning, but ARAMRAM gets the vote. A half-length fourth at Newcastle last month, a fast-run 5f may suit him ideally and he races off the same mark now, with the booking of Ryan Moore an eye-catching one.

Recent Newmarket winner EMPEROR SPIRIT looked to have a new lease of life there for his new yard and he can go one better than last year

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.
