1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +53%) Hold That Taught		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(8) Hold That Taught 7/2, Little to shout about since latest success just over 2 years ago, often held back by his jumping/attitude. On the upside, he goes well fresh, resumes on an attractive mark and represents a yard in terrific form, so it wouldn't be the biggest of surprises were he to stage a revival . Well beaten on final 3 runs last term but first time out could be the time to catch him.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 -33%) Tea Clipper		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(2) Tea Clipper 10/3, Winless since scoring at Chepstow back in October 2021 but has subsequently acquitted himself well in a number of strong handicaps. Positive start to this season when runner-up back at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) and, down another 2 lb, he has to enter calculations. Encouraging second at Chepstow off reduced mark and he could be a contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -71%) Switch Hitter		12 12/1(-71%)																															(1) Switch Hitter 12/1, Limited to just 2 starts last term, disappointing in a Cheltenham Grade 3 handicap on return but back on track when accounting for 4 rivals at Wincanton (25.1f, good) in February. 4 lb rise negated by Freddie Gingell's claim and while this demands improvement, he remains relatively unexposed. Hasn't had much racing in recent seasons but won when last seen and goes well fresh.
4	5 4th (5) (13/2 +7%) Emir Sacree		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(5) Emir Sacree 13/2, Pulled up on 3 of his last 5 starts but has performed with credit when completing, including when third in a 7-runner contest at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) on return last month, finishing a neck adrift of the re-opposing Tea Clipper. Cheekpieces given another go and he could have a big part to play. Pulled up on three of last five starts but good runs otherwise; capable of having a say.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 +30%) Planned Paradise		14 14/1(+30%)																															(9) Planned Paradise 14/1, Consistent for Neil Mulholland last season but looked rusty when pulling up on his Chepstow reappearance for new stable at the end of last month. Others make more appeal. Market check advised but pulled up at Chepstow latest and has to leave that miles behind.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 -83%) I See You Well		22 22/1(-83%)																															(7) I See You Well 22/1, Winner of 8 of his 37 starts over fences, the latest in a 6-runner Sandown handicap (3m, good to soft) last December. Duly left his low-key reappearance well behind when chasing home a progressive rival at Plumpton and should make his presence felt here. Runner-up to progressive winner at Plumpton and on the shortlist despite going back up 2lb.
6	6 |F| (6) (6/1 +50%) Hidden Heroics		6 6/1(+50%)																															(6) Hidden Heroics 6/1, Winner of first 2 starts over fences last season, making all in small-field novice handicaps at Exeter and Cheltenham. Pretty disappointing since, though, and probably worth taking on, for all that he's now 2 lb below last winning mark. Has dropped below last winning mark; just a fair sixth at Exeter last time and needs more.
3	3 |U| (3) (5/1 -67%) Manothepeople		5 5/1(-67%)																															(3) Manothepeople 5/1, Dual chase winner last term who returned with a very good second of 11 in 3m Exeter handicap (soft) last month. Up 4 lb for that but entirely possible that he has more to offer in this sphere and the addition of cheekpieces could be a good move (hung left under pressure at Exeter). Reappeared with neck second at Exeter and he could continue to progress; respected.
4	4 |U| (4) (11/1 -69%) Unanswered Prayers		11 11/1(-69%)																															(4) Unanswered Prayers 11/1, Made a winning chase debut at Cheltenham last November and, though largely disappointing thereafter, he was in the process of taking a step firmly back in the right direction when falling in a top handicap over this C&D earlier this month (disputing second place when coming down at the final fence). In a share of second when falling at final fence over C&D last time; could be bang there.

15:45 Ascot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

A case can be made for each of the 10 declared runners here, with ROCCO ROYALE shading the verdict. This improving gelding comfortably beat a useful sort (won twice since) over 2m3f at Fontwell last time and this step up in trip could potentially unlock another gear. Like the selection, Rebel Intentions should benefit from his conditional jockey's claim and the recent course scorer must enter calculations. Scamallach Liath and Spring Note are others to consider in what looks a tricky puzzle for punters to solve.

MADAKET looked well ahead of her opening mark when scoring readily at Chepstow last time and he's worth a chance to go in again for all that he faces some formidable opposition in the shape of Rocco Royale and Seefin, who also look progressive.

The 6yo SCAMALLACH LIATH (nap) beat everything bar a prolific winner here in April and returns with his new yard going great guns.

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.
