1	16 1st (16) (10/1 +29%) Kind Of Blue		10 10/1(+29%)																															(16) Kind Of Blue 10/1, Has come a long way since winning his first two in the spring, taking another big leap forward when just failing behind Montassib in the Sprint Cup at Haydock 6 weeks ago. From the family of The Tin Man and Deacon Blues, both winners of this race for the stable, and looks poised for another big run. Has made giant strides, only just denied in Sprint Cup; looks a Group 1 winner in waiting.
2	17 2nd (17) (17/2 +29%) Swingalong		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(17) Swingalong 17/2, Group 3 winner at York last year and better than ever when narrowly beaten in the QEII Jubilee here and July Cup at Newmarket (headed late on by Mill Stream) this summer. Another not seen to best effect in the Haydock Sprint Cup and she forms part of a mighty challenge for Karl Burke. Has clear claims on her July Cup second; made the frame 12 months ago; hard to rule out.
3	20 3rd (20) (25/1 -56%) Flora Of Bermuda		25 25/1(-56%)																															(20) Flora Of Bermuda 25/1, Won the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York in July and has remained in form, finishing with running left when fifth to Montassib in the Haydock Sprint Cup. Plenty more on her plate now. Yard took this with 33/1 shot in 2019. Group 3 winner; better than result in Sprint Cup; still improving and not without hope.
4	12 4th (12) (9/1 +36%) Beauvatier		9 9/1(+36%)																															(12) Beauvatier 9/1, Won his first 4 starts in his homeland last year and placed on all bar one of his runs since, ending up with a lot to do when third in the Prix de La Foret at the Arc Meeting a fortnight ago. Goes well in the mud and an interesting contender, representing different formlines to the principals. Less than a length behind Kinross when third in Foret at Longchamp; in the mix again.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/1 -17%) Montassib		7 7/1(-17%)																															(6) Montassib 7/1, Has taken his form to a new level this year and made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts when edging out Kind of Blue in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock 6 weeks ago. Handles soft conditions well and is a key player. Has made into a top-drawer sprinter this year; Sprint Cup winner last month; solid chance.
6th	10 6th (10) (20/1 +20%) Spycatcher		20 20/1(+20%)																															(10) Spycatcher 20/1, Fared best of those held up when just over 2 lengths behind Art Power and Kinross in this last year and added another Deauville Group 3 to his tally this summer. Good run at the Curragh latest and conditions have come right for him again so no surprise to see him outrun his odds. Goes well at 6f on soft; third in this race last year and has each-way possibilities again.
7th	4 7th (4) (7/2 +42%) Kinross		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(4) Kinross 7/2, Very smart and likeable performer who won this in 2022 and was edged out by Art Power last year. Arrives in top form following victory in the Park Stakes at Doncaster and another second in the Prix de La Foret and looks set for another big performance. Winner/runner-up in this race last two seasons; retains all his ability; high on the list.
8th	15 8th (15) (12/1 +14%) James's Delight		12 12/1(+14%)																															(15) James's Delight 12/1, Has had a great season, notching up a fourth win of the year in 6f listed race at Deauville in July before splitting Spycatcher and Beauvatier there last time (better placed than the third). Proven in the mud and has Ryan Moore in the plate again but this is a big step up. Has progressed from handicaps; edged out in Group 3 last time; respected.
9th	1 9th (1) (28/1 +0%) Annaf		28 28/1(+0%)																															(1) Annaf 28/1, Thrived this time last year, taking the Portland and Group 3 over C&D, and added another win to his tally in Group 2 in the Middle East in February. Likely to be at his peak following 2 comeback runs last month, seeming to find a bare 5f against him at Newbury, and not dismissed back here. Should be suited by return to 6f but several others have stronger claims on form.
10th	18 10th (18) (18/1 -64%) Unequal Love		18 18/1(-64%)																															(18) Unequal Love 18/1, Has gone from strength to strength this year, taking the Wokingham over C&D before good runs behind Flora of Bermuda at York (third, not seen to best effect) and stablemate Montassib and Kind of Blue at Haydock. More needed again to take a hand here but it's not impossible. C&D Wokingham winner; third to Montassib in Sprint Cup; may take another step forward.
11th	9 11th (9) (100/1 -150%) Shouldvebeenaring		100 100/1(-150%)																															(9) Shouldvebeenaring 100/1, Just failed behind Mill Stream in the Duke of York in May and landed a Deauville Group 3 in the summer. Poor at Newmarket last week and hard to fancy from stall 1. Has won just one of last 17 races and was tailed off last week; would be a shock winner.
12th	3 12th (3) (10/1 +17%) Audience		10 10/1(+17%)																															(3) Audience 10/1, Made all (raced apart from rest) in the Lockinge at Newbury on reappearance and quickly back to his best when defying a penalty in Group 2 Lennox at Goodwood, beating Art Power and Kinross. Off day when odds on for York Group 2 latest and has rare crack at 6f now with the ground probably not ideal. Leading claims on Lockinge and Lennox wins; interesting contender down in trip after break.
13th	2 13th (2) (16/1 +27%) Art Power		16 16/1(+27%)																															(2) Art Power 16/1, Has form figures of 4481 in this race, finally landing the big pot he'd long promised when beating Kinross 12 months ago. Form mixed this year but was a good fourth in the July Cup and no surprise to see him go well here again with conditions in his favour. Won this on soft ground 12 months ago but hasn't been at his best this year.
14th	7 14th (7) (80/1 +0%) Moss Tucker		80 80/1(+0%)																															(7) Moss Tucker 80/1, Successful return at Naas but well below that form since, including in the Abbaye a fortnight ago, and up against it in a first-time visor here. Won Group 1 Flying Five in 2023 but arrives here in no sort of form; now wears a visor.
15th	5 15th (5) (14/1 -27%) Mill Stream		14 14/1(-27%)																															(5) Mill Stream 14/1, Has had a fine year, winning the Duke of York and July Cup, with a good third in the QEII Jubilee at Royal Ascot in between. Ran a bit flat in the Maurice de Gheest 11 weeks ago but shouldn't stay down for long. July Cup winner; now returns from a break after below-par run in France; not discounted.
16th	8 16th (8) (66/1 -32%) Shartash		66 66/1(-32%)																															(8) Shartash 66/1, Successful on his first 2 starts of the year over 7f and went close behind Shouldvebeenaring in 6f Deauville Group 3 in the summer. Not so good since and plenty on his plate here in first-time blinkers. Hasn't built on 7f Listed win in May; needs plenty of improvement for fitting of blinkers.
17th	13 17th (13) (22/1 +21%) Bucanero Fuerte		22 22/1(+21%)																															(13) Bucanero Fuerte 22/1, Group 1 winner at 2 yrs and successful in 6f Naas Group 3 on return in May. Might have needed his 2 runs back last month, fading in the Haydock Sprint Cup and taken off his feet behind Bradsell in the Flying Five. Proven in the mud and not dismissed. Improvement required but he's fresh, handles soft ground and may have untapped potential.
18th	11 18th (11) (80/1 -21%) Vafortino		80 80/1(-21%)																															(11) Vafortino 80/1, 2022 Victoria Cup winner who ran well on his only go over 6f for this yard in the Wokingham in June. Runner-up again in a Group 2 at York 8 weeks ago but probably only playing for a place again at best in such a hot contest. Sixth in Wokingham and second in City Of York but faces a stiff task in his first Group 1.
19th	14 19th (14) (12/1 +14%) Elite Status		12 12/1(+14%)																															(14) Elite Status 12/1, Much improved in his second season, winning 6f listed and Group 3 at Newbury, clear of Kind of Blue in the latter. Not seen to best effect drawn away from the main principals in the Haydock Sprint Cup last time and could have a bigger effort in him at the top level. Group 3 winner; poorly drawn when only eighth in Group 1 last time; worth another chance.
20th	19 20th (19) (33/1 +34%) Vadream		33 33/1(+34%)																															(19) Vadream 33/1, Has blown hot and cold this year but ran well in the Group 3 Bengough over C&D a fortnight ago, a race she won in 2021 when also fifth in this. Fourth behind Montassib and co in the Haydock Sprint Cup but she'll do well to better that here. Loves the mud; fourth in Group 3 over C&D two weeks ago but this is a much stiffer task.

13:55 Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

KINROSS seeks redemption after finishing second as favourite in the Prix de la Foret, having also occupied the runner-up spot 12 months earlier. Ralph Beckett's gelding didn't enjoy as kind a passage as the winner and could perhaps be marked up. Also a previous winner of this, he looks certain to have the race run to suit and is fancied to repay his supporters. There will be challenges aplenty, perhaps none more so than from Montassib, who took his form to a new level when winning the Sprint Cup at Haydock. French challenger Beauvatier finished a place behind the selection on Arc day and may not be far away, while others to note include Mill Stream and last year's victor Art Power, who arrives in similar form this time around.

KIND OF BLUE has gone from strength to strength in his first season, just failing behind Montassib in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock 6 weeks ago. He's since changed hands privately and certainly has the pedigree for this race, being related to the yard's 2011 and 2016 winners Deacon Blues and The Tin Man. There is probably a bigger performance in his locker and if he handles conditions he seems sure to go well. French-runner Beauvatier, 2022 winner Kinross and Montassib are firmly in the mix.

This is competitive and cases can be made for many, but the verdict goes to KIND OF BLUE whose progress this year has been meteoric.

1	12 1st (12) (10/3 -11%) Kalpana		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(12) Kalpana 10/3, Having been unraced at 2 yrs, made it 4 wins from 7 starts this year with a impressive success in 7-runner September Stakes at Kempton (12f) 6 weeks ago, beating Lion's Pride by 4¾ lengths. Capable of better still and she looks ready to make her mark at the highest level. Unraced on softer than good; going places and will have a major say if the ground suits.
2	14 2nd (14) (12/1 +45%) Wingspan		12 12/1(+45%)																															(14) Wingspan 12/1, Doubled her tally with a listed success at Gowran in August and took her form up a notch when neck second of 9 to Hanalia in Blandford Stakes at the Curragh (10f, good) just under 5 weeks ago, seen to good effect from the front. Likely to progress further and should stay at least this far. Could be a marked improver now trying about 1m4f, as her dam was when winning this in 2017.
3	7 3rd (7) (13/2 +19%) Tiffany		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(7) Tiffany 13/2, Progressive filly who made it 7 wins from her last 9 starts in T. von Zastrow Stutenpreis at Baden-Baden (11.9f, good) 7 weeks ago, a move to the stand-side rail into the straight probably making all the difference. Further improvement forthcoming so she's one to consider with cheekpieces applied. Perhaps ground softer than good is ideal and she should get that today; considered.
4	9 4th (9) (18/1 -13%) Village Voice		18 18/1(-13%)																															(9) Village Voice 18/1, Got off the mark for the season in good style after 4 months off at Saint-Cloud (11.9f, soft) just over 5 weeks ago, admittedly well positioned in a steadily-run race but showing a good turn of foot to quickly put matters to bed. Another jolt of improvement needed. 4l clear in Listed race at Saint-Cloud (1m4f, very soft) last time; in each-way contention.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 +50%) Thunder Roll		25 25/1(+50%)																															(6) Thunder Roll 25/1, Doubled her career tally in listed event at Cork in April and has matched rather than advanced her from in better contests since, 1½ lengths fourth of 15 to Grateful in Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp (13.9f, good to soft) a fortnight ago. Faces another stiff task. Best form with cheekpieces enlisted for last two outings but she needs to find extra.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 -64%) Time Lock		18 18/1(-64%)																															(8) Time Lock 18/1, Stood out on form and fitted in a first-time tongue tie after 11 weeks off, convincingly won Princess Royal Stakes (for second year running) at Newmarket (12f, soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Seventh in this last year, she'll need a career best to take this on what may prove her swansong. Won in good style for the second year running in 1m4f Group 3 at Newmarket three weeks ago.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 +50%) Sea Theme		40 40/1(+50%)																															(4) Sea Theme 40/1, Recorded career victory number 3 with wide-margin success in listed event at Clairefontaine in July and ran about as well as could've been expected when sixth of 15 to Grateful in Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp (13.9f, good to soft) a fortnight ago (tongue tied). Up against it. Dual 1m4f Listed winner; ran creditably on last two outings but has major work to do.
8th	2 8th (2) (6/1 +40%) Quantanamera		6 6/1(+40%)																															(2) Quantanamera 6/1, Smart performer who won both starts at 2 yrs and recorded a first success since when comfortably winning Grand Prix de Deauville (12.4f, soft) just under 8 weeks ago, beating Arrest by 4 lengths. This is clearly tougher, but she'll have no issue with conditions and could be worth chancing. Last to first in six-runner Group 2 at Deauville (12.5f, very soft; hooded) in August.
9th	5 9th (5) (16/1 +20%) Sumiha		16 16/1(+20%)																															(5) Sumiha 16/1, Runner-up twice in listed company in spring then won Munster Oaks at Cork in June. Improved on that despite not being seen to very best effect in a deeper race when fourth of 10 in Kilternan Stakes at Leopardstown (12f, good) 5 weeks ago and remains with potential. Cheekpieces applied. Best efforts on last two starts; lightly raced compared to most of these; first headgear.
10th	3 10th (3) (11/1 -10%) Queen Of The Pride		11 11/1(-10%)																															(3) Queen Of The Pride 11/1, Beautifully-bred filly who won the Group 3 Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock on only her fourth career start and took a big step forward when following up in Lancashire Oaks there the following month. However, she ran no sort of race in Yorkshire Oaks at York (11.8f) last time so must bounce back. Ran badly when second favourite for Yorkshire Oaks, her first race on good to firm.
11th	10 11th (10) (13/2 +0%) Content		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(10) Content 13/2, Found quite a bit of improvement this season, keener than ideal but still strong in the finish when winning Yorkshire Oaks at York (11.8f) in August. Easy to put a line through her effort in Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (9.9f, soft) earlier this month (when hooded) so holds every chance. 2nd in Irish Oaks and won Yorkshire Oaks; very shortlived effort in 1m2f Group 1 latest.
12th	1 12th (1) (12/1 +25%) Doha		12 12/1(+25%)																															(1) Doha 12/1, Regally bred filly who has taken her form up a notch this year, landing 1m Royal Ascot handicap in June then doubling her tally for the campaign with a cosy success in listed mares' event at Saint Cloud (9.9f, soft) earlier this month. This level seemingly beyond her pay grade, though. 1m2f French Listed win (very soft) two weeks ago; pedigree says 1m4f will be no problem.
13th	13 13th (13) (25/1 +0%) War Chimes		25 25/1(+0%)																															(13) War Chimes 25/1, Ran up to best when third of 12 to Ezeliya in Oaks at Epsom (12f, soft) in June but not in the same form in the Irish equivalent at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) back in July, pulling hard and generally looking a hard ride. Plenty to find once again. Staying-on third when 50-1 in the Oaks, easily her best show this term; hung badly latest.
14th	11 14th (11) (14/1 +22%) Grateful		14 14/1(+22%)																															(11) Grateful 14/1, Showed much improved form to spring a mild surprise upped markedly in trip in Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse in July and ran her best race yet when winning 15-runner Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp (13.9f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, scoring with a bit in hand. 1 of 3 for the yard. 1m6f for last four outings, winning two; latest was in some style in Longchamp Group 1.

14:35 Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Kalpana was visually impressive when winning the September Stakes at Kempton last month. The improving three-year-old remains of definite interest, but she has yet to prove herself under these conditions and, although pedigree suggests it shouldn't be an issue, a chance can be taken on TIFFANY. Three from four this season, with her most recent triumph coming in a Group 2 at Baden-Baden, she's been equally as progressive and, with slow ground certain to suit, the daughter of Farhh may provide some value. Yorkshire Oaks heroine Content holds all the aces on official figures but, on this ground, her Prix de Royallieu-winning stablemate Grateful might be the bigger threat.

A substandard renewal of one of the major prizes in the calendar for fillies & mares so it could be worth taking a chance on German-raider QUANTANAMERA, who looked a filly with a bright future when bolting up in a Group 3 on just her second career start and belatedly added to her tally at Deauville when last seen in August. Kalpana has progressed rapidly this season, so she rates as the obvious danger, with Tiffany, Content and Wingspan all having the potential to rate higher, too.

At least half the field can easily be given a serious chance but QUANTANAMERA gets the vote ahead of Wingspan.

1	1 1st (1) (13/8 +7%) Charyn		1.625 13/8(+7%)																															(1) Charyn 13/8, Has developed into a high-class performer this year, winning 4 times, notably the Queen Anne over C&D and Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville. Should have completed a hat-trick of Group 1s in the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp (left with too much to do) and obvious claims of making amends. Two Group 1 wins this season (including the Queen Anne over C&D) and has leading claims.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/2 +39%) Facteur Cheval		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(3) Facteur Cheval 11/2, Seasoned Group 1 performer who made a successful return in the Dubai Turf in March. Excuses in Queen Anne after before firmly back on track when third in Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. Decent second in this last year under similar conditions so needs considering. Second in this last year and won Group 1 Dubai Turf this March; might not be far away.
3	13 3rd (13) (7/2 +0%) Tamfana		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(13) Tamfana 7/2, Very smart filly who was unlucky not to win the 1000 Guineas. Decent efforts in defeat upped in trip next 2 starts but confirmed this is her best distance when stylish winner of the Sun Chariot back at Newmarket 2 weeks ago. Will handle the ground so another big run looks on the cards. Impressed when winning the Group 1 Sun Chariot a fortnight ago; firmly in calculations.
4	8 4th (8) (50/1 +0%) Dancing Gemini		50 50/1(+0%)																															(8) Dancing Gemini 50/1, Listed winner at 2 and confirmed himself a smart performer when ½-length second to Metropolitan in French 2000 Guineas on reappearance. Hasn't kicked on since, however, and easily passed over. Runner-up in French 2,000 Guineas in May but hasn't shone recently.
5th	7 5th (7) (20/1 -25%) Quddwah		20 20/1(-25%)																															(7) Quddwah 20/1, Took another step up the ladder when making it 4 from 4 in Summer Mile here (round course) in July. Lost his unbeaten record when 3¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Charyn in Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville following month so needs to resume progress. Unraced on going softer than good to soft. Lost unbeaten record when fourth to Charyn in Prix Jacques le Marois; each-way candidate.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -25%) Checkandchallenge		50 50/1(-25%)																															(2) Checkandchallenge 50/1, Smart at his best but was beaten at listed level at Sandown last time and unlikely he'll open his account for the year in this. Fourth in this last year, albeit beaten 15 lengths. Down the pecking order on form but 4th in last two runnings of this race at 22-1 and 40-1.
7th	9 7th (9) (7/1 +30%) Henry Longfellow		7 7/1(+30%)																															(9) Henry Longfellow 7/1, Won all 3 starts as a juvenile, notably the Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh. Proved his French 2000 Guineas run all wrong when runner-up St James's Palace, getting first run. Not seen to best effect third in Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, though was beaten fair and square by Charyn that day. Runner-up in St James's Palace Stakes here; hasn't kicked on since but he's not ruled out.
8th	11 8th (11) (22/1 -100%) Metropolitan		22 22/1(-100%)																															(11) Metropolitan 22/1, Proved a totally different proposition when holding on by ½ length from Dancing Gemini in French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp and confirmed himself a smart 3-y-o when placed in St James's Palace at Royal Ascot and Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville. Likely to find a few too good once again, however. 3l second to Charyn in the Jacques le Marois; needs more but can give another good account.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 +50%) Ice Max		50 50/1(+50%)																															(10) Ice Max 50/1, Much improved this year and again took form to another level when a length too strong for Poker Face in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood. Frame claims on that form and testing ground will suit, though he needs to shrug off a poor run in the Joel Stakes at Newmarket. Won Group 2 at Goodwood in August; below par since; needs to bounce back with career best.
10th	4 10th (4) (150/1 -50%) Lord Massusus		150 150/1(-50%)																															(4) Lord Massusus 150/1, Smart performer who handles the mud but flying too high here even so. Listed winner in June but others have considerably stronger form claims.
11th	6 11th (6) (10/1 +29%) Prague		10 10/1(+29%)																															(6) Prague 10/1, Failed to make the track during his time with Aidan O'Brien but has quickly made up into a very smart performer for this yard, improving again when winning 4-runner Joel Stakes at Newmarket (soft) 3 weeks ago by 3¾ lengths from Poker Face, well on top finish. This much deeper but respected. Supplemented for this race after impressive win in Group 2 at Newmarket; interesting.
12th	5 12th (5) (66/1 +18%) Poker Face		66 66/1(+18%)																															(5) Poker Face 66/1, Winless this season but ran close to his best when second to Ice Max in Celebration Mile at Goodwood. Only respectable efforts next 2 starts, including when 3¾ lengths second of 4 to Prague in Joel Stakes at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. Firmly up against it. Won two 1m Group races in France last season; in good form but needs something extra today.

15:15 Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Charyn has four wins from six starts and two second places this year, with his victories including the Queen Anne here at the Royal meeting, although that was on a quicker surface. Second in the Prix du Moulin last time out, he is a worthy favourite but may struggle to give 6lb to Atalanta Stakes and Sun Chariot heroine TAMFANA. An unlucky fourth in the 1000 Guineas and beaten less than a length in the Prix de Diane, she hasn't run a bad race all season and may make it three in a row. Quddwah has only lost the once, when fourth to Charyn in the Prix Jacques le Marois, and is one to consider at a far bigger price.

CHARYN should have completed a hat-trick of Group 1 wins in the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp 6 weeks ago and can make amends in what isn't a particularly strong renewal. Improving 3-y-o filly Tamfana rates the main threat on the back of her stylish win in the Sun Chariot at Newmarket 2 weeks ago, while Facteur Cheval is a solid performer at this level and is also likely to be in the mix.

C&D Queen Anne winner CHARYN holds leading form claims and is taken to land his third Group 1 win of the season. Tamfana is feared.

1	1 1st (1) (40/1 -43%) Anmaat		40 40/1(-43%)																															(1) Anmaat 40/1, Cracking strike-rate in the last 3 years, including a Longchamp Group 1. Added to his excellent record fresh with a second win in the Rose of Lancaster at Haydock (10.5f, good to firm) in August but not at his best when only fifth in Group 2 Prix Dollar back at Longchamp a fortnight ago. Productive gelding who is a Group 1 winner but this is the stiffest task of his career.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/4 +8%) Calandagan		1.5 6/4(+8%)																															(7) Calandagan 6/4, Most impressive tackling going firmer than good for the first time when a 6-length winner of King Edward at the Royal meeting. Bettered that form when length second to City of Troy (pair clear) in International at York (good to firm again) since. The one to beat if as effective back on deep ground. Impressive at Royal Ascot then clear second behind City Of Troy at York; top on ratings.
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 +50%) Royal Rhyme		25 25/1(+50%)																															(4) Royal Rhyme 25/1, Added to his very good record on going softer than good when landing the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1¼m, soft) on his reappearance in May. Behind a few of these rivals on a quicker surface since but he's one who could go well at big odds with ground conditions in his favour. Strong record on soft/good to soft includes a creditable fifth in this contest last year.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 -43%) Iresine		20 20/1(-43%)																															(3) Iresine 20/1, Very smart performer in France, including a win in the Group 1 Prix Ganay last year. Gained a second win the Group 2 Prix Foy at Longchamp last month and won't be fazed by this ground having won a Prix Royal Oak on heavy in 2022. Smart French performer but needs to defy the age stats; only one 7yo has won this prize.
5th	12 5th (12) (66/1 +0%) See The Fire		66 66/1(+0%)																															(12) See The Fire 66/1, Went close in the Group 1 Nassau at Goodwood before landing Group 3 Strensall at York (9f, good to firm) in August. Placed again in Group 1 company among her own sex when third in Sun Chariot at Newmarket 2 weeks ago. Return to 1¼m in favour but still hard to make a strong case for. Honourable efforts in the Nassau and Sun Chariot; return to 1m2f is likely to suit.
6th	8 6th (8) (2/1 -7%) Economics		2 2/1(-7%)																															(8) Economics 2/1, Dual Group 2 winner who battled gamely to make it 4-4 for the season in the Irish Champion at Leopardstown (1¼m, good) last month, fending off Auguste Rodin by a neck with Los Angeles a length back in fourth. Looks capable of even better. Very progressive 3yo; game win in the Irish Champion Stakes most recently; rising star.
7th	9 7th (9) (28/1 -40%) King's Gambit		28 28/1(-40%)																															(9) King's Gambit 28/1, Impressive winner of the London Gold Cup (handicap) on his Newbury reappearance and even better form when placed at listed/Group level in his 3 outings since, including C&D. Los Angeles gave weight and a beating to him at York last time, though. Close third to Los Angeles in the Great Voltigeur; largely progressive and should go well.
8th	11 8th (11) (50/1 +24%) Persica		50 50/1(+24%)																															(11) Persica 50/1, Has really flourished as a 3-y-o, winning 2 competitive handicaps and an Ayr listed race (all 1¼m). Acts on soft and might be capable of even better but he'll require a big jolt of improvement to play a prominent role here. Steadily progressive; bagged Listed honours at Ayr last time; this is much harder.
9th	10 9th (10) (13/2 +7%) Los Angeles		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(10) Los Angeles 13/2, Placed in the Epsom Derby before winning the Irish version. Good effort to defy a Group 1 penalty in the Voltigeur at York in August before fine in-frame efforts in the Irish Champion (to Economics) and Arc this autumn. 1½m is his optimum trip but the ground should place the emphasis on stamina. Very consistent and doesn't have much to find with Economics on Irish Champion running.
10th	2 10th (2) (28/1 +58%) Continuous		28 28/1(+58%)																															(2) Continuous 28/1, Won last year's St Leger. Built on his Royal Ascot reappearance fifth when winning the Royal Whip at the Curragh in August but only third to Iresine in the Foy next time and down the field in the Arc 13 days ago. Ended his 2023 campaign in great form; has failed to sustain it this term; opposed.
11th	5 11th (5) (40/1 +20%) Nashwa		40 40/1(+20%)																															(5) Nashwa 40/1, Very smart mare with 3 Group 1 wins to her name but she's been well below that level in her 2 outings this year, albeit she ran as if needing the outing after 6 months off when fifth in the Sun Chariot a fortnight ago. Acts on soft. High-class performer on her day (triple Group 1 scorer) but has a doubt over current form.

15:55 Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Economics has been all the rage for this for some time and after keeping his perfect record for the year intact following a ding-dong battle with Auguste Rodin in the Irish Champion Stakes, he will be tough to beat. However, CALANDAGAN came from an impossible position to finish a length second to City Of Troy in the Juddmonte International at York, clocking some exceptional fractions late on, and a repeat of that might be enough to see the French challenger get the better of his market rival. Iresine gets on well with jockey Marie Velon and could steal the final placing ahead of Arc third Los Angeles, who appears the O'Brien number one.

Progressive 3-y-os CALANDAGAN and Economics do need to prove themselves fully effective on deep ground but they are clear on form and have the potential for even better. The former had 11 others, including Arc winner Bluestocking, well behind him when chasing home City of Troy in a strong renewal of the International at York and is narrowly preferred. Los Angeles, Iresine and Royal Rhyme can fight it out for third.

Being top on the figures and still improving, CALANDAGAN (nap) is taken to come out best in an engrossing clash with Economics.

1	7 1st (7) (14/1 -17%) Carrytheone		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) Carrytheone 14/1, A two-time 7f scorer this term who also shaped well in a few big handicaps here this summer. Another fine effort when sixth of 18 in Challenge Cup here (7f, good) 14 days ago, left with too much to do. Plenty of soft ground form during his time in Ireland and Soumillon a good booking. Some solid efforts in defeat in handicaps here this season; could be thereabouts.
2	17 2nd (17) (18/1 -29%) Lattam		18 18/1(-29%)																															(17) Lattam 18/1, Good second to Mr Professor in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in March on his reappearance and first outing for Julie Camacho. Not at the same level in his 2 outings since but given a break (goes well fresh) and could bounce back with a bang on ground which suits. Runner-up in the Lincoln in March but unplaced the next twice (April/June).
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 +0%) Witch Hunter		25 25/1(+0%)																															(4) Witch Hunter 25/1, Won the Buckingham Palace here and Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury last year. Only narrowly failed to win the latter race again in August and also a good third in 1m Haydock Group 3 last month. Latest Newbury effort wasn't one of his best, though. Won the Buckingham Palace here last June on the last occasion he tackled a handicap.
4	10 4th (10) (7/2 +46%) Thunder Run		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(10) Thunder Run 7/2, Very promising individual who was having only the fifth start of his career when seeing off Mirsky by ½ length in valuable 1m handicap at the York Ebor meeting. Soft ground is an unknown for this strong traveller but likely capable of even better. 3yo who made it 3-5 when making all in Clipper Handicap at York; may continue to progress.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 -14%) Elnajmm		16 16/1(-14%)																															(5) Elnajmm 16/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who readily won 1m handicaps at Newcastle and over C&D on his return in midsummer. Respectable 2½ lengths fifth in listed race at Sandown (1m, good) 31 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Wears first-time cheekpieces. Enters calculations back in handicap. Highly progressive in the summer; hasn't kicked on recently; perhaps cheekpieces will help.
6th	14 6th (14) (9/1 +44%) Toimy Son		9 9/1(+44%)																															(14) Toimy Son 9/1, Chose a good day to open his account for this yard when a 2-length winner of the valuable Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood in August. Better form in defeat since (third of 31 in Cambridgeshire latest) and should go well again. Won the Golden Mile and good third in the Cambridgeshire last time; he's in with a chance.
7th	3 7th (3) (28/1 -40%) Cicero's Gift		28 28/1(-40%)																															(3) Cicero's Gift 28/1, Much improved when making a successful return in strong 1m Sandown handicap (soft) from Holloway Boy. Respectable fourth to that same reopposing rival in a Haydock Group 3 in September but never involved in a Longchamp Group 2 a fortnight ago. His mark demands a very smart performance. Won off 2lb lower at Sandown (1m, soft) in July; mixed form since but not written off.
8th	20 8th (20) (16/1 +52%) Mirsky		16 16/1(+52%)																															(20) Mirsky 16/1, Useful ex-French performer who arrives in good nick, finishing fifth of 18 in the Challenge Cup over 7f here a fortnight ago. 1m probably suits him a bit better and he's another from the yard with an each-way shout. Kept on for fifth in 7f Challenge Cup here last time; each-way claims now back up to 1m.
9th	18 9th (18) (33/1 +34%) Padishakh		33 33/1(+34%)																															(18) Padishakh 33/1, Useful in France and back to that level for new yard when going close in a 1m Ayr handicap last month. Well held at York last weekend but it wasn't a race run to suit his hold-up style. Connections have tasted success in this race before. Well treated on last year's French form; went close at Ayr, then flopped on soft at York.
10th	1 10th (1) (12/1 +0%) Holloway Boy		12 12/1(+0%)																															(1) Holloway Boy 12/1, First success since taking the 2022 Chesham on debut when proving ½ length too strong for Prague (Group 2 winner since) in Haydock Group 3 (1m, good) 6 weeks ago. Posted some good efforts in big-field handicaps over the summer. Has a lofty mark to defy but he won a Group 3 at Haydock last month and is respected.
11th	16 11th (16) (18/1 +28%) Godwinson		18 18/1(+28%)																															(16) Godwinson 18/1, Fine placed efforts in Newbury and York in the first half of this year and returned from a 10-week break to win a 1m Goodwood handicap (good to soft) in August. Caught on the wrong part of the track when mid-field in the Cambridgeshire last time and treated as if still in form. Cheekpieces added. Lightly raced 4yo who is in top hands; improvement can't be ruled out, but is necessary.
12th	11 12th (11) (17/2 +29%) Bopedro		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(11) Bopedro 17/2, Losing run is mounting up but plenty of creditable efforts to his name this season, including third of 18 in the Challenge Cup over 7f here a fortnight ago. Fourth in this 12 months ago. Each-way claims again. Kept on for third in 7f Challenge Cup here recently; could be in the mix now back up to 1m.
13th	19 13th (19) (8/1 +0%) State Actor		8 8/1(+0%)																															(19) State Actor 8/1, Won twice over 1m at the Curragh in the spring, including on heavy. Added to his largely progressive record when beaten only a head in the Irish Cambridgeshire back at the Curragh at the end of August. Much respected Irish raider. Went very close in Irish Cambridgeshire; progressive and could have more left in the tank.
14th	2 14th (2) (50/1 -150%) Sir Busker		50 50/1(-150%)																															(2) Sir Busker 50/1, Credit to connections and ended 2-year losing run in big-field handicap at the York Ebor meeting. Respectable 2¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Persica in listed race at Ayr (1¼m, good to firm) since but very smart effort needed to defy this mark. 8yo; beaten in Listed race last time but has lots of good form at Ascot; not ruled out.
15th	6 15th (6) (50/1 -100%) Popmaster		50 50/1(-100%)																															(6) Popmaster 50/1, Course winner who ended 2023 with an excellent second in the Challenge Cup over 7f here but he was well held in this year's running of that race a fortnight ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Suited by this track and he's on a handy mark, but has had a patchy campaign this season.
16th	8 16th (8) (9/1 -13%) Daysofourlives		9 9/1(-13%)																															(8) Daysofourlives 9/1, First home in his group when fourth of 29 in the Hunt Cup over C&D (firm) at the Royal meeting and followed that with a win at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. Should remain competitive up 4 lb but needs to show he's fully effective on this ground. Form of Doncaster win has been franked and this progressive 4yo is a possible player.
17th	9 17th (9) (14/1 +22%) Mr Professor		14 14/1(+22%)																															(9) Mr Professor 14/1, Better than ever when winning Lincoln at Doncaster on heavy-ground on reappearance. Twice below that level on much quicker ground in the first half of the summer but better can be expected back under his optimum conditions after a break. Won the Lincoln in March; claims will be boosted today if he's back on slow ground.
18th	15 18th (15) (18/1 +28%) Mexicali Rose		18 18/1(+28%)																															(15) Mexicali Rose 18/1, Useful filly who won a Galway handicap in July. Creditable 3 lengths third of 14 in Tipperary listed race (7.4f, soft, 20/1) 13 days ago, never nearer. Not obviously well handicapped. Won Galway Mile in July; clearly well suited by a big-field scenario; possible contender.
19th	12 19th (12) (33/1 +0%) Star Of Orion		33 33/1(+0%)																															(12) Star Of Orion 33/1, Back to his best for his new yard when placed at Newmarket (1m) and Sandown (7f, twice) at the end of the summer. Shaped as if still in form when seventh of 18 in the Challenge Cup over 7f here 2 weeks ago. Acts in the mud. Effective here but only seventh in the Challenge Cup here recently; needs a bigger run.
20th	13 20th (13) (80/1 -21%) Alaskan Gold		80 80/1(-21%)																															(13) Alaskan Gold 80/1, Useful at his best for Karl Burke (including second in listed race on heavy) but well below par when last of 5 in Chelmsford handicap on yard debut in August. Blinkered first time. Hard to fancy. 3yo; Greenham fifth; return to form needed in first-time headgear on second start for yard.

16:35 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

A wide-open handicap and one that hasn't seen a successful favourite since 2017, with a 25/1 winner last year. Thunder Run took a competitive handicap at York's Ebor Festival in August and he can go well with Ryan Moore booked to ride, but a 4lb rise may be enough to stop him. TOIMY SON has been targeted at this since his Cambridgeshire third and with a top-four finish in his last six outings and an added 2lb for future races, he is fancied to go close under Oisin Murphy, especially if he starts smartly. Elnajmm won here in July and he could be of some interest if first-time cheekpieces bring any improvement.

A host with chances. TOIMY SON has some good efforts to his name in strong handicaps in recent months and might prove the answer under Oisin Murphy. Elnajmm, Lincoln runner-up Lattam, who has a strong record fresh and on deep ground, and recent Challenge Cup third Bopedro head the dangers. First reserve Qirat already has one really good effort to his name in a big-field handicap here this autumn and would be a major player if getting a run.

David O'Meara has won three of the last seven runnings and saddles an attractive candidate in BOPEDRO. Witch Hunter is a threat.

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.
