1	10 1st (10) (25/1 +24%) Lady Alara		25 25/1(+24%)																															(10) Lady Alara 25/1, Debut winner who ran about as well as could be expected in 1m listed race at Sandown (good, 33/1) 63 days ago. Has work to do back in handicap company. Promising 2nd in her group in the Sandringham over C&D in June; lesser run since.
2	8 2nd (8) (5.5/1 +66%) Maggie's Way		5.5 5.5/1(+66%)																															(8) Maggie's Way 5.5/1, Made a successful reappearance in 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (1m, heavy) in May and returned to a similar level when runner-up at Newbury in July. Ran about as well as could be expected back in listed company at Haydock on most recent outing. Acts on good but two useful handicap runs over 1m were on soft; unraced on good to firm.
3	2 3rd (2) (7.5/1 +25%) Farhh To Shy		7.5 7.5/1(+25%)																															(2) Farhh To Shy 7.5/1, Gained a first win in over a year over C&D in May and proved at least as good as ever when adding to her tally at Yarmouth in July. Not in the same form at York last time but a bounce back wouldn't surprise. Won similar C&D race in May; back to best when 7f winner in July; lesser runs either side.
4	11 4th (11) (10/1 -11%) High Spirited		10 10/1(-11%)																															(11) High Spirited 10/1, Belardo filly who showed improved form to get off the mark in 13-runner maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) on her return in May. Wasn't up to listed level at Goodwood next time and now goes handicapping after a break. Winning reappearance at 1m; out of luck in Listed company since; handicap debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (4.5/1 +31%) Tarrabb		4.5 4.5/1(+31%)																															(3) Tarrabb 4.5/1, Successful 3 times last year and ran a cracker tried tongue tied when third (Don't Tell Claire second) in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot in June. Ran poorly at Haydock last time but is the type to bounce back quickly. Acts well here; solid 3rd in 1m C&D handicap in June; below best in Listed race since.
6th	6 6th (6) (20/1 -43%) Karsavina		20 20/1(-43%)																															(6) Karsavina 20/1, Landed a 7f novice at Newmarket on debut last autumn and has posted some quite useful efforts in defeat this term, including when fifth of 11 in 1m listed race at Sandown in July. Beaten by more than the 2f longer trip back there last time, however. Useful form in Group 3/Listed races this year; mid-division over C&D in her sole handicap.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/1 +0%) Prepense		5 5/1(+0%)																															(7) Prepense 5/1, Showed improved form when doubling her tally in 6-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, soft) 45 days ago, despite looking a shade ungainly under pressure once more. May do better still. Looked good over 7f latest; pulled hard and didn't get cover on previous 1m attempt (AW).
8th	5 8th (5) (7/1 +0%) Don't Tell Claire		7 7/1(+0%)																															(5) Don't Tell Claire 7/1, C&D winner who arrives in decent nick, not seen to best effect when fifth in 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago, hampered over 1f out. Must enter the reckoning. Won this in 2021 and 2nd last year; reliable and a surprise if she doesn't go well again.
9th	1 9th (1) (12/1 -85%) Amanzoe		12 12/1(-85%)																															(1) Amanzoe 12/1, Upwardly-mobile 3-y-o, winning 4 times, latest at last year's Shergar Cup meeting here. Came home last of 9 on last month's reappearance at York but shaped as if retaining ability and ought to be better for the run. Won 4 of her last 6 races in 2022 but off for 12 months and weakened badly on reappearance.
10th	9 10th (9) (50/1 -100%) Spirit Of The Bay		50 50/1(-100%)																															(9) Spirit Of The Bay 50/1, Found the best turn of foot to take advantage of a drop in the weights at Haydock (10f) in May. Not in the same form since though, too lit up in first-time blinkers back at aforementioned track on most recent outing. Has form on both 1m courses here; lesser efforts since 1m2f win in May; now back at 1m.
11th	4 11th (4) (6/1 -100%) Bridestones		6 6/1(-100%)																															(4) Bridestones 6/1, Useful performer who doesn't seem to be progressing at present but may benefit from a return to handicap company having contested listed events the last twice. Can't be dismissed. Mostly run in Listed/Group races in 2023; hampered but promising C&D handicap run in June.

LTO Selection:

16:20 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

BRIDESTONES has always shaped as though she is a filly capable of better, and recent efforts in Listed company suggest she is well up to scoring at this level. The daughter of Teofilo was unlucky when not getting a clear run over C&D in the Sandringham, and she is taken to get the better of Leicester scorer Prepense. Placed in the Kensington Palace here on her penultimate start, Tarrabb must enter calculations along with Amanzoe and Farhh To Shy.

AMANZOE progressed really well as a 3-y-o and should be all the better for her reappearance, so she's put forward as the answer. There are credible rivals in opposition though, not least Don't Tell Claire, who was runner-up in this corresponding event 12 months ago and arrives as good as ever. Bridestones makes some appeal now returning to handicap company and completes the shortlist.

Don't Tell Claire is booked for another good run here but BRIDESTONES should have some scope back in a handicap and is preferred.

1	1 1st (1) (3.5/1 +13%) Dark Trooper		3.5 3.5/1(+13%)																															(1) Dark Trooper 3.5/1, Thriving son of Dark Angel who arrives on a four-timer having comfortably seen off Russet Gold over C&D last time. Even more to come and he makes plenty of appeal. Completed hat-trick over C&D last month; 8lb rise looks fully justified.
2	9 2nd (9) (16/1 +52%) Redemption Time		16 16/1(+52%)																															(9) Redemption Time 16/1, Juvenile winner who run well in competitive 3-y-o York handicaps both starts prior to a blip at Newmarket 58 days ago. Could return to form back from a break. Ran poorly at Newmarket last time and needs to bounce back after two months off.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/1 +29%) Bussento		10 10/1(+29%)																															(11) Bussento 10/1, Fairly useful gelding who was back on track when readily landing the odds in a Bath maiden a month ago. Needs more if he's to defy current mark, though. Won Bath maiden last month; could be unexposed as a sprinter; needs serious consideration.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -10%) Another Investment		22 22/1(-10%)																															(5) Another Investment 22/1, Took a big jump forward when winning 16-runner handicap at York (good to firm) by 5 lengths in June and was back on track when fourth at Newmarket 28 days ago. Others look better treated, however. Has found revised mark beyond him twice since clearcut win at York in June.
5th	12 5th (12) (4/1 -14%) Reminder		4 4/1(-14%)																															(12) Reminder 4/1, Promising individual who upped her game again to land a handicap at Windsor a fortnight ago. Going away at the finish there and bred to go on progressing, so very much one to consider. Well bred and progressive; winning start in handicaps at Windsor; could be the one to beat.
6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 -43%) Blind Beggar		20 20/1(-43%)																															(8) Blind Beggar 20/1, Career best when winning 16-runner handicap (17/2) at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago, battling well. Has held his form well since joining this stable and should give another good account of himself. In fine form, winning in a big field at Thirsk last month; another bold bid is expected.
7th	4 7th (4) (3/1 +63%) Russet Gold		3 3/1(+63%)																															(4) Russet Gold 3/1, Left reappearance effort in his wake when landing 7-runner Redcar handicap (5f) in June. Solid efforts both starts since, only denied by Dark Trooper over C&D last time. Shouldn't be dismissed. Second to Dark Trooper over C&D; in the mix but will need another personal best to win.
8th	13 8th (13) (40/1 -21%) Kuwait City		40 40/1(-21%)																															(13) Kuwait City 40/1, Landed a competitive 3-y-o handicap at the Dante meeting at York (5f, good to firm) in May but hasn't really fired since. Seems to have gone off the boil and has stamina concerns over this stiff 6f.
9th	10 9th (10) (14/1 -75%) Capote's Dream		14 14/1(-75%)																															(10) Capote's Dream 14/1, First win for a while having dropped in the weights when taking 6f Windsor handicap in August. Backed it up with another solid showing and can't be discounted in current mood. Back in excellent heart, following Windsor win with Goodwood second; in the mix once more.
10th	6 10th (6) (8.5/1 +47%) Bresson		8.5 8.5/1(+47%)																															(6) Bresson 8.5/1, Useful juvenile at up to 7f. Shaped as if retaining all his ability when 4 lengths fifth of 13 in 7f Goodwood handicap on reappearance. Tame run at Windsor subsequently and off another 3 months since. Cheekpieces go back on. Choicely bred but he's beginning to look exposed; others have less to prove.
11th	2 11th (2) (9/1 -157%) Willem Twee		9 9/1(-157%)																															(2) Willem Twee 9/1, Useful sprinter last term, winning twice over 6f at Doncaster and running a cracker in good minor event at Kempton when last seen. Gelded since and, while he's been off 11 months, there's potential for better. Unexposed 4yo, first past post three times last summer; retains potential after gelding op.

16:55 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Dark Trooper is likely to prove popular in his quest to land a four-timer, but the three-year-old may be worth taking on now 8lb higher than for last month's C&D success. Russet Gold finished just over two lengths behind him in second and merits consideration now 6lb better off. Nevertheless, REMINDER won a shade cosily on her handicap debut at Windsor a fortnight ago and Andrew Balding's filly is fancied to overcome a 4lb rise in the ratings.

DARK TROOPER is in a rich vein of form and had plenty to spare when scoring over C&D last time, so he's fancied to rack up his fourth win on the bounce at the possible expense of Reminder, who looks promising. Willem Twee is a big player if tuned up following a long absence.

The one to beat is REMINDER, whose dam won the Albany over C&D and whose form is on a steeply upward curve.

8	8 (8) (25/1 -14%) Mine's A Double		25 25/1(-14%)																															(8) Mine's A Double 25/1, Unbeaten in 3 starts as a 3-y-o, signing that campaign off with a narrow success over this C&D. However, he was disappointing in a handful of appearances last season and probably best watched starting out for new yard here following 14 months off (has been gelded). 2022 was barren but he'd been progressive and won this race the previous year; new stable.
1	9 1st (9) (5.5/1 +0%) Call Me Ginger		5.5 5.5/1(+0%)																															(9) Call Me Ginger 5.5/1, Won 3 times last year, notably the Portland at Doncaster, and opened his 2023 account when getting on top in the shadow of the post at Chester (5.5f, good to soft) last weekend. Remains on a good mark up 4 lb and he's a major player. Led late to win at Chester last week; goes well at Ascot; major player off 4lb higher.
2	4 2nd (4) (28/1 -75%) Mountain Peak		28 28/1(-75%)																															(4) Mountain Peak 28/1, Yet to fire this season but he has scored 3 times over this C&D, most recently a valuable handicap off a 12 lb higher mark last summer. Needs to bounce back but will be a big threat if able to do so. Won this race in 2018; has optimum conditions but this year's efforts have promised little.
3	14 3rd (14) (16/1 +0%) Woolhampton		16 16/1(+0%)																															(14) Woolhampton 16/1, Has taken well to the fitting of blinkers and didn't need to improve to record a first success in handicap company in 7-runner heat over this C&D in July. However, below par both subsequent starts and others look stronger. Won a C&D fillies' race in July; will need improvement to go in again against the geldings.
4	12 4th (12) (4.5/1 +63%) Swayze		4.5 4.5/1(+63%)																															(12) Swayze 4.5/1, Winner of sprint handicaps at Newcastle and Haydock earlier this season. Wasn't disgraced in a competitive heat at Newcastle and now 2 lb lower but one or two of these make appeal for win purposes all the same. Impressive at Haydock in May but hasn't repeated the form.
5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 -75%) Existent		14 14/1(-75%)																															(1) Existent 14/1, Often highly-tried since scoring twice on the AW in 2022. Some decent efforts since returned to handicap company, particularly when runner-up at Goodwood (5f, good) on penultimate start, but he was (not for the first time) slow off the blocks when below par over this C&D last time. Only sixth over C&D last time; none too consistent; others have more obvious claims.
6th	7 6th (7) (5.5/1 +21%) Haymaker		5.5 5.5/1(+21%)																															(7) Haymaker 5.5/1, Progressive 4-y-o who confirmed the promise of his reappearance third on heavy at Newbury when scoring at Windsor (6f, good to soft) in May. Best to draw a line through his latest effort and he's one to consider. Has had excuses since Windsor win; drop back to 5f looks an interesting move; key player.
7th	6 7th (6) (3.5/1 +61%) Bedford Flyer		3.5 3.5/1(+61%)																															(6) Bedford Flyer 3.5/1, Bounced back following a couple of low-key efforts when runner-up off a 1 lb higher mark at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Went close on latest visit here back in 2021 and he has to enter calculations. Clear signs of return to form last time; well treated on best efforts; leading candidate.
8th	10 8th (10) (18/1 -157%) Spring Bloom		18 18/1(-157%)																															(10) Spring Bloom 18/1, Resumed winning ways at Newmarket (5f, good) in May and promising to come good again of late, finding only a well-treated rival too strong at Sandown last weekend. 1 lb lower here and should make his presence felt. Continued solid run of form with second at Sandown; should be in the thick of things again.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 -50%) Navello		12 12/1(-50%)																															(5) Navello 12/1, Returned to form with cheekpieces reapplied when landing 20-runner Epsom Dash (5f, good to firm) in June. However, his subsequent effort at Goodwood was pretty tame, even allowing for the fact that he had the worst of the draw. Won the Dash at Epsom on Derby day; poorly drawn next time; may well bounce back.
10th	13 10th (13) (9/1 -50%) Above		9 9/1(-50%)																															(13) Above 9/1, Snapped a losing run when making a winning start for this yard at Newmarket (5f, good) a fortnight ago. Remains very competitively handicapped up 4 lb and he has to be high on any shortlist. Well suited by drop to 5f when scoring at Newmarket two weeks ago; could follow up.
11th	2 11th (2) (18/1 +36%) Acklam Express		18 18/1(+36%)																															(2) Acklam Express 18/1, Pretty useful at 2 yrs (listed winner) but arrives here on a long losing run and efforts so far this year do little to suggest that he's about to turn things around. Seems on the downgrade and difficult to recommend despite a plunging mark.
12th	11 12th (11) (33/1 +0%) Dynamic Force		33 33/1(+0%)																															(11) Dynamic Force 33/1, Bagged a couple of handicaps for this yard in 2022 but bit to prove following a low-key campaign for Taleb Ali in Bahrain. 0-6 in Bahrain but successful in July 2022 on last British outing and returns to old yard.
13th	3 13th (3) (20/1 -25%) Fernando Rah		20 20/1(-25%)																															(3) Fernando Rah 20/1, Found only one too goo on reappearance at Wolverhampton in February but not in the same form on both subsequent starts, looking a tad rusty back on turf after 9 weeks off at Windsor (5f, good to soft) in June. Absent since and sports first-time cheekpieces here. Seen only sporadically in last 18 months; well held latest start; carries risks.

17:30 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A very competitive heat sees a chance taken on CALL ME GINGER, who showed a likeable attitude when getting up on the line over an extended 5f at Chester last week. Jim Goldie's charge has been raised 4lb for that short-head success, but Amie Waugh's 5lb claim can help to carry that burden. The consistent Spring Bloom should also be thereabouts after a decent second over 5f at Sandown last time, while Dynamic Force is an interesting contender on his return to the UK.

CALL ME GINGER did well under the circumstances when getting up close home at Chester recently and he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid off a 4 lb higher mark. Next on the list is Above, who also resumed winning ways last time and remains on an attractive mark for his new yard. Bedford Flyer and Spring Bloom should both be on the premises, too.

Dropping back to 5f could be the catalyst for improvement from HAYMAKER and he gets the verdict ahead of Above.

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.
