1	4 1st (4) (7/4 +56%) Fair Point		1.75 7/4(+56%)																															(4) Fair Point 7/4, Wide-margin winner of 4-runner Chester maiden in May before finishing a close third to Surveyor on handicap debut over this C&D. Now meets that rival on 6 lb better terms and, having found 7f too sharp on the AW last time, she's a player back at a mile. Third to Surveyor on C&D h'cap debut; tapped for toe over 7f since; respected back at 1m.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/1 -8%) Queen Of Atlantis		7 7/1(-8%)																															(7) Queen Of Atlantis 7/1, Completed an AW hat-trick during the winter and didn't shape badly when fourth of 12 back from a break at Sandown in April. Struggled in listed company next time but back on track when just touched off by Surveyor over this C&D and, now 3 lb better off with that rival, she has to enter calculations. Split Surveyor and Fair Point in blanket finish over C&D in July; enters calculations.
3	8 3rd (8) (20/1 -67%) Ziggy's Phoenix		20 20/1(-67%)																															(8) Ziggy's Phoenix 20/1, Caused a 66/1 shock at Newmarket in May and arguably surpassed that performance when accounting for 7 rivals in a Goodwood handicap (1m, good) 15 days ago. 4 lb rise by no means the end of the world but now finds herself in deeper waters. Won on good to soft at Goodwood latest and Leavy's claim offsets the bulk of her 4lb rise.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 -38%) Imperial Express		9 9/1(-38%)																															(6) Imperial Express 9/1, Successful in lesser handicaps than this at Ffos Las and Hamilton either side of a respectable effort in the 1m Glorious Goodwood contest won by Arisaig, finishing around 3 lengths adrift of the re-opposing Surveyor. Nudged up just 2 lb for latest success but more needed now upped to 0-100 company. Behind Surveyor at Goodwood but won in mud at Hamilton since; player if ground is testing.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/2 +38%) Rowayeh		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(3) Rowayeh 5/2, Ran right up to best when fourth in the C&D Kensington Palace at the Royal meeting in June. Not in same form upped to 1¼m next time but subsequent Goodwood third was a step back in the right direction and she's high on the shortlist. Fourth in Kensington Palace over C&D; also good third at Glorious Goodwood; big player.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +50%) Twirling		4 4/1(+50%)																															(1) Twirling 4/1, Raised her game when opening turf account at Doncaster (1m, good) in May and good efforts in defeat at Newmarket and Goodwood the last twice. Remains on what appears to be a fair mark and another bold show on the cards. Placed over 1m on good to soft at Newmarket and Goodwood the last twice; thereabouts again.

16:30 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Twirling has made the frame in each of her last two starts in class 3 handicaps and should make a bold bid off the same mark as her third at Goodwood last month. However, ROWAYEH finished 15 places in front of her in the Kensington Palace here in June and that may be the key piece of form to focus on. Owen Burrows' four-year-old produced a solid effort when a close-up third at Goodwood last time and can return to winning ways. Surveyor completes the shortlist.

The majority of these are viable candidates, so it's not an easy puzzle to solve. That said, ROWAYEH probably hasn't shown her full hand just yet and the form of her Kensington Palace fourth at the Royal meeting is probably just about the best on offer, particularly bearing in mind that she almost certainly would've finished closer granted a clear run. Next on the list is Twirling, while Surveyor, who got the better of Queen of Atlantis and Fair Point over C&D in July, is also feared.

A few with good C&D form, notably Kensington Palace fourth ROWAYEH, who posted another fine run in a hot handicap at Goodwood last time.

1	7 1st (7) (6/1 +50%) Woolhampton		6 6/1(+50%)																															(7) Woolhampton 6/1, Successful over C&D during the spring and struck again when coming from off the pace at Windsor in June. However, good run of form came to a grinding halt following a tardy start at Newbury last time. 3 lb higher compared to when finishing third in this 12 months ago and she looks vulnerable. Two wins in 2024, including over C&D; normally dependable but never going on latest start.
2	12 2nd (12) (3/1 +54%) Brooklyn Nine Nine		3 3/1(+54%)																															(12) Brooklyn Nine Nine 3/1, Lightly-raced sort who didn't get much luck in handicaps last season and was spared a hard race when fourth on return at Thirsk. Badly hampered approaching final furlong when fifth of 12 at York (5f, good) on latest start in May and could be a threat if ready to roll following a break. Almost laughable the times he's been unlucky; capable of a big run if things go his way.
3	13 3rd (13) (12/1 +33%) Faustus		12 12/1(+33%)																															(13) Faustus 12/1, Successful for Robert Cowell at Nottingham in June and opened account for present connections when battling well to record a narrow verdict at Newbury (5.2f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Likely to give another good account, albeit a 4 lb rise could just find him out. Won 2 of last 4 starts at 5f; return to this stiff test may not be ideal.
4	4 4th (4) (11/2 +54%) Badri		5.5 11/2(+54%)																															(4) Badri 11/2, Hit the target on five occasions in 2023, the latest of those wins was gained over this C&D off a 10 lb higher mark last October. Below par first half of this season but has acquitted himself well all 3 starts since joining this yard and couldn't rule out back here. Good C&D form on good and good to soft; well treated; remains of interest back here.
5th	6 5th (6) (3/1 +70%) Haymaker		3 3/1(+70%)																															(6) Haymaker 3/1, Dual winner of handicaps earlier this season prior to solid placed efforts next 2 starts, including when a close third in a 17-runner contest over this C&D in July. Has blown the start at Windsor the last twice but will be a threat if able to get away on terms this time. Possibilities on early-summer form, including C&D; ground query on slower than good.
6th	3 6th (3) (13/2 -8%) Kylian		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(3) Kylian 13/2, Struggled to make an impact initially for this yard but back on track having been gelded the last twice, finishing second in the Shergar Cup Dash here last month prior to another creditable effort at York. Now tried in blinkers and not without an each-way chance with James Doyle booked. Very useful 2yo; back to form when 2nd over C&D in August; perhaps has share of weight.
7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 -14%) Isle Of Lismore		25 25/1(-14%)																															(8) Isle Of Lismore 25/1, Better than ever when scoring over C&D in May. Followed that with a near-miss at Newmarket later that month but the wheels have rather come off since and he needs to get back on track with cheekpieces refitted (last worn back in 2020). Multiple winner, including over C&D in May; off the boil of late; cheekpieces return.
8th	11 8th (11) (9/1 +50%) The Big Board		9 9/1(+50%)																															(11) The Big Board 9/1, Won three of her first 4 starts in 2023, including over this C&D, and best effort so far this year also came here when just touched off in a 9-runner handicap at the end of July. However, she failed to back that up at Newbury next time and profile is start to look somewhat patchy. Had strong handicap form over C&D and at York in 2023; tougher this year; ran flat latest.

17:05 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Good Earth is in sparkling form at present after completing a double at Sandown last week and he remains on a workable mark. However, this is a much tougher assignment and, with that in mind, the vote goes to EXISTENT. Stuart Williams' six-year-old finished a close-up fourth over C&D in July and competes off a 4lb lower rating. If he can recapture that level of form, he ought to go close. Previous C&D winner Dream Composer and Brooklyn Nine Nine are just two others to consider.

It's been some time since EXISTENT last got his head in front but he has slipped to an attractive mark and a reproduction of his solid C&D effort in July would put him firmly in the picture. Haymaker is capable of a bold show if he gets it right at the start, while Brooklyn Nine Nine is also of interest.

The recent rain complicates things but perhaps this will be the day when BROOKLYN NINE NINE finally gets a charmed passage.

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.
