Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 -122%) Walsingham	5 5/1(-122%)	(2) Walsingham 5/1, Just pushed out and a bit in hand when landing a handicap by 1l off 78 at Pontefract last time. Suited by 1m and acts on heavy and good ground. Running really well of late. On a hat-trick after two good-ground wins (1m) at Pontefract; has run well on soft; player.
2	9 2nd (9) (8/1 +43%) Tadreeb	8 8/1(+43%)	(9) Tadreeb 8/1, Poor effort when beaten 8l in a 7f handicap at Kempton last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 7-8f and acts on any ground. Mark much easier on turf. Creditable fourth here (7f, good) in July but lesser effort latest and soft ground a query.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 +69%) Look Back Smiling	2.75 11/4(+69%)	(3) Look Back Smiling 11/4, Close to form and probably wanting a stiffer test when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l in a 7f handicap at Doncaster last time. Usually held up and the mile may suit. Can start slowly; soft-ground lover who went close in July; excuses since; considered.
4	1 4th (1) (11/1 -22%) Spirit Genie	11 11/1(-22%)	(1) Spirit Genie 11/1, Visor fitted but only ran to current level when a below-best fourth, beaten 4l in a classified race at Chester last time. Suited by 7/8f and acts on good ground, likes some cut. A little out of form since a short break. Not got going this year but some promise in latest fourth; acts on soft/heavy; considered.
5th	10 5th (10) (6/1 -20%) Shaladar	6 6/1(-20%)	(10) Shaladar 6/1, Back to form off a falling mark when beaten a short-head off 66 at Carlisle last time. Suited by 1m and acts on soft and good ground but not fast. Mark looks competitive. 3rd and 2nd in last two renewals; went mighty close (1m, good) latest; player again.
6th	5 6th (5) (3/1 +33%) Terries Royale	3 3/1(+33%)	(5) Terries Royale 3/1, Won this last year and ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 77 at Yarmouth last time. Returning from a long layoff. Suited by 1m, acts on any ground, very effective on soft, though may need this run. Last year's winner who progressed subsequently; leading player if primed after absence.
7th	6 7th (6) (66/1 -780%) Bear Force One	66 66/1(-780%)	(6) Bear Force One 66/1, Ran to form when making all to land a handicap by a short-head off 73 over 7f at Doncaster last time. Suited by 7/8f and acts on any ground. A bit in and out of late. Won at 40-1 on good/firm (7f; first-time eye-shields) 20 days ago; soft ground a concern.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 +38%) Dashing Roger	10 10/1(+38%)	(8) Dashing Roger 10/1, Probably went too fast early when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time. Effective from 8-10f, acts on fast ground but ideally wants give. Poor this term. Last won in autumn of 2023; recent efforts not enough to tempt despite this falling mark.
9th	7 9th (7) (80/1 -186%) Devious Devan	80 80/1(-186%)	(7) Devious Devan 80/1, Poor again when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Generally out of form. Suited by 1m, with all form on good ground. Has a bit to prove. Good handicap debut when second (1m, good) last summer; has not matched that since.
10th	4 10th (4) (25/1 -79%) Revich	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) Revich 25/1, Looked to want further when beaten 5l in a classified race at Chester last time. Suited by 1m and acts on any ground. Could bounce back up in trip. Acts on soft; resurgent effort in July; excuse latest & run well here before; interesting.

13:45 Ascot (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Walsingham registered a brace of wins at Pontefract in July and the low-mileage five-year-old could still be feasibly treated from a mark of 81. At the weights, however, last year's runner-up SHALADAR looks well worth chancing. Running off 9lb lower and on the back of a Carlisle near-miss, Kevin Ryan's six-year-old makes strong appeal. Terries Royale shaded the selection by a neck 12 months ago, but is 7lb higher and his absence since October could be compromising.

Plenty to consider but REVICH has shown enough of late to suggest he's about to cash in on this reduced mark.

14:20 Ascot (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

As a full-brother to the superstar Baaeed and dual Group 1 winner Hukum, there can be little doubt RAAHEEB carries the weight of expectation. However, that pedigree is too hard to ignore and this could be an ideal introduction for the son of Sea The Stars, who holds a Royal Lodge entry. Behike, who cost 500,000gns as a yearling, and Norman Invasion - a 480,000 breeze-up purchase - are other fascinating newcomers in this mouthwatering maiden.

Behike & Norman Invasion are respected but it's hard not to be seduced by the introduction of Baaeed & Hukum's brother RAAHEEB.

14:55 Ascot (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

El Vamos and Shetalkstoangels were expensive yearlings and the betting should be informative where they are concerned. However, MANEUVER, who outstripped them both with her 600,000gns purchase price as a yearling, should be a good deal wiser after her debut at Kempton. Forced to race wide throughout, her effort was commendable given her lack of experience and the daughter of Sea The Stars could be tough to repel this time.

As regards the runners with experience, Fillies' Mile entry MANEUVER holds the best chance ahead of Too Hot To Tango.

15:30 Ascot (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

WATCHA SNOOP bumped into a useful gelding when second on his debut at Newmarket. The son of Coulsty looks sure to progress for a yard among the winners recently and, with the likelihood that he should handle any cut in the ground, he can go one place better. Hungarian wasn't disgraced in a valuable sales contest on the July Course and must enter calculations, while support for any of the newcomers, perhaps most notably Hvar, should be taken seriously.

The standard is jointly set by WATCHA SNOOP and Hungarian. As regards the newcomers, heed the market signals.

16:05 Ascot (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to FONDO BLANCO. Roger Varian's colt has knocked at the door, most recently when filling the runner-up spot at Southwell. Deteriorating ground conditions will hold no fears for the son of Ten Sovereigns and today's stiff finish should also be of benefit. Jewelry brings bags of potential and must enter calculations, while last year's winner Lord Bertie should not be overlooked.

A chance is taken that last year's winner LORD BERTIE will break better and return to form. Fine Interview is second choice.

Good h'cap debut fifth (1m2f); drop back in trip a plus; dam won on soft; makes appeal.

15th	18 15th (18) (9/1 -13%) Accentuate	9 9/1(-13%)	(18) Accentuate 9/1, Ran to form on handicap debut when beaten 2l off 92 here last time; off a short break; suited by 1m, acts on good to soft and good to firm; looks fairly treated. Far from disgraced on round mile h'cap debut here; dam won on heavy; possibilities.
16th	4 16th (4) (28/1 -300%) Balmacara	28 28/1(-300%)	(4) Balmacara 28/1, Too free in front when beaten 4l off 100 at Sandown last time; off a short break; suited by 10f and likes some give; tends to race too enthusiastically. Both wins on soft; solid third (1m, good to firm) in June; 83-day break not a concern.
17th	11 17th (11) (40/1 -122%) Epictetus	40 40/1(-122%)	(11) Epictetus 40/1, Ground and trip not ideal when running poorly down the field in a 10f handicap at Yarmouth last time; drawn wide in a large field; suited by 1m and acts on any ground; currently struggling for form. Fair fifth on stable debut in May not matched since; market support would be helpful.

16:40 Ascot (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Balmacara looked to be coming back to form when third at Sandown in June and he won't mind the softer surface, but EBT'S GUARD is preferred. Upped 2lb for his success at the Shergar Cup meeting here, he is equally effective on this sort of going and seems to be improving. Theoryofeverything is back for seconds after winning this last season off 5lb lower, but he may have to settle for a place.

Ebt's Guard continues to progres but this can go to a 3yo, with HIGH DEGREE making most appeal of that age group.

17:15 Ascot (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SEA SUITE is due to go up 4lb after last week's Sandown second so has to be taken seriously off his old mark and, as he was forced to race wider than he would have liked, that effort can be marked up a fraction. Excellent Echo is looking for his hat-trick after wins at Leicester and Chepstow and he escapes a penalty for Tuesday's triumph in Wales. Law Of Design won here last year and could also go close.

Sandown runner-up SEA SUITE (nap) could well go one better. Law Of Design is second pick, ahead of Tactical Plan.

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.
