(10) Sarceaux 66/1, Raced 3 times on the Flat in France for M. Delzangles, successful in a claimer in June. Given a considerate ride on hurdles debut at Kempton and she can build on that, but certainly needs to.

4
4/1(+11%)
(4) Eglantine Du Seuil 4/1, Smart hurdler for Willie Mullins and back on track for this yard when second of 8 in 2½m Cheltenham handicap 6 weeks ago. Can make presence felt if stamina holds up at 3m for first time.
1

4.5
4.5/1(-50%)
(1) Magic Of Light 4.5/1, Has won this for the last 2 years. Arrives on the back of an easy success in Newbury Listed chase last month but she will require a career-best effort over hurdles to see off an on-song Roksana.
3
(3) (40/1 +20%) Coded Message
40
40/1(+20%)
(3) Coded Message 40/1, Pretty useful hurdler who performed with credit when third in 3m mares' handicap at Kempton (heavy) over Christmas but she isn't up to this level.

0.53
0.53/1(+21%)
(2) Roksana 0.53/1, Smart and likeable mare who was suited by the return to 3m when ready winner of Wetherby Grade 2 on reappearance. Very good 2 lengths third to Paisley Park in Long Walk here since. The one to beat.

4.5
4.5/1(+25%)
(11) Paddys Motorbike 4.5/1, Improved performer over hurdles for new yard this season, winner of Uttoxeter maiden and Huntingdon novice (both at around 2½m on soft/heavy) the last twice. One to consider.
1

5
5/1(+0%)
(1) Janika 5/1, Grade 2 winner over fences during 2019/20 campaign and wasn't disgraced on British hurdles debut at Cheltenham last January. Has undergone a wind op and resumes in this sphere on an attractive mark.
3
(3) (9/1 -64%) Lightly Squeeze
9
9/1(-64%)
(3) Lightly Squeeze 9/1, Rapid progress last term and, having undergone a wind op and fitted with a first-time tongue strap, he was a fine third in valuable handicap here (15.7f, soft) on return last month. Couldn't rule out.
6
(6) (9/1 +44%) War Lord
9
9/1(+44%)
(6) War Lord 9/1, Solid second to Arrivederci on return at Wetherby prior to going one better at Haydock. Not disgraced back at the latter course latest, but one suspects that the handicapper has his measure for now.
8
(8) (9/1 +59%) I K Brunel
9
9/1(+59%)
(8) I K Brunel 9/1, Dual hurdles winner last term and, following a couple of runs over fences, he wasn't entirely disgraced back in this sphere at Newbury (3m, good) last time. However, this demands a clear career-best.
2
(2) (10/1 +50%) Botox Has
10
10/1(+50%)
(2) Botox Has 10/1, Returned with 2m Cheltenham conditions event success, but has come up short switched to handicaps the last twice and needs to get back on track now upped in trip.
9
(9) (14/1 -100%) Danny Kirwan
14
14/1(-100%)
(9) Danny Kirwan 14/1, Useful bumper winner who opened hurdles account in C&D maiden in November. Stamina stretched upped to 3m in a Cheltenham Grade 2 since and very much one to consider back down in trip on handicap bow.
10
(10) (14/1 +0%) Dans Le Vent
14
14/1(+0%)
(10) Dans Le Vent 14/1, Arguably better than ever when narrowly landing a competitive handicap back in this sphere following 13 months off Hereford (19.7f, soft). Up 4 lb in a tougher race now, but not without each-way hope.
5
(5) (50/1 -52%) Nordano
50
50/1(-52%)
(5) Nordano 50/1, Did well last season, culminating in a wide-margin C&D success on deep ground. However, well held both starts this time round and remains 11 lb above that winning mark.
12
1st (12) (14/1 -75%) Craigneiche
14
14/1(-75%)
(12) Craigneiche 14/1, Bumper winner who built on promising hurdles debut when landing a 10-runner Doncaster novice (20.8f, heavy) last January. Absent since, but armed with plenty of potential now pitched into a handicap.
7
2nd (7) (6/1 +20%) Arrivederci
6
6/1(+20%)
(7) Arrivederci 6/1, Improved when making a winning return/handicap bow at Wetherby in October. Held every chance when falling 3 out at Haydock next time and though disappointing here on his latest, he merits respect.
4
3rd (4) (11/1 +0%) Kateson
11
11/1(+0%)
(4) Kateson 11/1, Back on track since returned to this sphere, responding well to first-time cheekpieces (retained) to score over 2½m at Aintree (heavy) latest. 5 lb rise fair enough and he needs considering.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Ascot Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(8) De Forgotten One 3.33/1, Made it 2-4 for this yard with easy win in 19f handicap chase at Catterick 20 days ago. Hiked up 10 lb but remains of interest now back up in trip.
5
(5) (5.5/1 +0%) Yalltari
5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(5) Yalltari 5.5/1, Useful chaser who took big step back in right direction when fourth of 11 in 3m handicap at Chepstow last time. Has dropped to a good mark so well worth considering now for in-form yard.
9
(9) (8/1 -7%) Classic Ben
8
8/1(-7%)
(9) Classic Ben 8/1, Arrives in decent nick, fourth of 7 in 28f handicap chase at Sandown 49 days ago. Effective at this shorter trip so much respected.
10
(10) (16/1 -100%) Favorito Buck's
16
16/1(-100%)
(10) Favorito Buck's 16/1, C&D winner who wasn't digraced in first-time blinkers when third of 11 in handicap chase returned here 64 days ago. Headgear retained so not taken lightly off unchanged mark.
13
(13) (18/1 +36%) Flintham
18
18/1(+36%)
(13) Flintham 18/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at his best but veteran nowadays and not seen on the track for over 2 years. Fitness a huge concern on his comeback.
7
(7) (28/1 -100%) Bigirononhiship
28
28/1(-100%)
(7) Bigirononhiship 28/1, Dual chase winner last term but he went backwards from good reappearance Ayr second when only fifth at Kelso last time. Needs to bounce back.
4
(4) (28/1 -40%) Townshend
28
28/1(-40%)
(4) Townshend 28/1, Useful chaser for Willie Mullins but has patchy record for current yard and yet to make the frame this term. C&D winner but others appeal more.
1
(1) (66/1 -164%) Fauburg Rosetgri
66
66/1(-164%)
(1) Fauburg Rosetgri 66/1, Showed fairly useful form over fences/hurdles at up to 23f in France. Well held last 4 starts, however, including both outings for this yard. Tongue strap fitted now with work to do.
12
1st (12) (4/1 +20%) Enqarde
4
4/1(+20%)
(12) Enqarde 4/1, Fair hurdler who landed Newcastle novice on just second outing for this stable. Chase winner in France, and still in touch when unseating five out in 25f Haydock handicap last time. No forlorn hope.
2
2nd (2) (6/1 +14%) Cobolobo
6
6/1(+14%)
(2) Cobolobo 6/1, Improved model this season, and cheekpieces on when landing 3m handicap chase at Exeter 37 days ago. Up 8 lb but still not taken lightly in current mood.
11
3rd (11) (7/1 +18%) Crossley Tender
7
7/1(+18%)
(11) Crossley Tender 7/1, Enjoying fine season, and he recorded win number four with something to spare in 3m handicap at Exeter 13 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards despite 8 lb rise.
LTO Selection:
14:25 Ascot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(7) Good Boy Bobby 3/1, Useful hurdler but better over fences, albeit never truly in the hunt when well backed for the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at Cheltenham 6 weeks ago. Remains low mileage.
4
(4) (6/1 +0%) Espoir De Guye
6
6/1(+0%)
(4) Espoir De Guye 6/1, Rapid improved over fences for this yard last term and returned better than ever when winning C&D handicap on return. Disappointed upped in trip here since but type to bounce back. Tongue strap on.
6
(6) (9/1 -13%) Windsor Avenue
9
9/1(-13%)
(6) Windsor Avenue 9/1, Quickly developed into a smart chaser last term and found only Imperial Aura too good at Carlisle on return. Quickly back on track when third at Wetherby and should be on the premises again.
11
(11) (16/1 -14%) Domaine De L'isle
16
16/1(-14%)
(11) Domaine De L'isle 16/1, Enjoyed a productive time of it over fences last season, completing hat-trick in this race off same mark, but well held all 4 starts this term and headgear now given a whirl.
2
(2) (18/1 -64%) Capeland
18
18/1(-64%)
(2) Capeland 18/1, Back on track in first-time cheekpieces when third here (2m) in November and enhanced excellent record at Wincanton when winning there (20f) 2 weeks ago. Respected up 4 lb.
5
(5) (18/1 -13%) Acting Lass
18
18/1(-13%)
(5) Acting Lass 18/1, Successful in Chepstow handicap chase in the mud before a fine run in the Ascot Silver Cup last winter. Finished lame on final outing last season. however, and again shaped as if amiss on return.
13
(13) (25/1 +0%) Colorado Doc
25
25/1(+0%)
(13) Colorado Doc 25/1, Prolific point winner who went right way under Rules last season, readily landing 2½m Plumpton novice handicap in February. Reportedly lost action at Newbury on return and this a tough ask.
9
(9) (33/1 -50%) Jonniesofa
33
33/1(-50%)
(9) Jonniesofa 33/1, Lightly-raced chaser who didn't need to improve to make a winning return in 7-runner handicap at Carlisle 41 days ago. Still feasibly treated after a rise but the suspicion is that he's best fresh.
10
(10) (40/1 -43%) Young Wolf
40
40/1(-43%)
(10) Young Wolf 40/1, Likeable chaser who resumed winning ways in 25.4f Warwick handicap before second of 4 in novice at Fakenham. Needs to shrug off a below-par effort at Newbury, however, and ideally wants further.
14
(14) (50/1 -100%) Louis' Vac Pouch
50
50/1(-100%)
(14) Louis' Vac Pouch 50/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser though not made a significant impact so far this campaign, well-held seventh in an Aintree handicap (19.9f) early last month. Others preferred.
12
(12) (125/1 -89%) Touch Kick
125
125/1(-89%)
(12) Touch Kick 125/1, Useful chaser at best for Paul Nicholls but sent off 80/1 before falling seventh in 21f Aintree handicap for new yard on return and down the field in jumpers bumper since. Headgear fitted.
3
1st (3) (6/1 +14%) Dashel Drasher
6
6/1(+14%)
(3) Dashel Drasher 6/1, Likeable, multiple hurdles winner who ended last term with success in Haydock novice chase (21.5f). All the better for return when making all in 3-runner event over C&D and opening mark is a fair one.
1
2nd (1) (5/1 +9%) Bennys King
5
5/1(+9%)
(1) Bennys King 5/1, Still on the upgrade and was all the better for return when resuming winning ways here (18.8f) 5 weeks ago. Cleary goes well around here and 7 lb rise looks fair, so high on the shortlist.
8
3rd (8) (8/1 +20%) Jerrysback
8
8/1(+20%)
(8) Jerrysback 8/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who finished runner-up in pair of Grade 2s during 2018/19. Good third in Silver Cup here (23.8f, heavy) when last seen 13 months ago and interesting to see how the market speaks.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Ascot Handicap Chase (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(2) Defi Du Seuil 4.5/1, Landed this last year but he disappointed when odds-on for the Champion Chase in March and posted another lacklustre display on his reappearance. Top-class at best but something to prove for now.
4
(4) (10/1 -11%) Fanion D'estruval
10
10/1(-11%)
(4) Fanion D'estruval 10/1, Impressive on British debut last winter. Disappointed in Kempton Grade 2 next time but back on track when second in 2m Cheltenham handicap on return. Going well when falling 3 out in Grade 2 since.
3
(3) (18/1 +18%) Duc Des Genievres
18
18/1(+18%)
(3) Duc Des Genievres 18/1, 2019 Arkle winner for Willie Mullins. Just about his best run since when second to Put The Kettle On in Cheltenham Grade 2 on reappearance/yard debut but not in same form when third at Kempton since.
1
(1) (80/1 -21%) Bun Doran
80
80/1(-21%)
(1) Bun Doran 80/1, Kempton Grade 2 winner last winter. Also third in Champion Chase in March but it was a substandard renewal of that race and he's been below par on both runs this term. Others more appealing.
6
(6) (100/1 +0%) Le Patriote
100
100/1(+0%)
(6) Le Patriote 100/1, Pair of novice chase wins this term but limitations over fences seemingly exposed when well-held third in Grade 2 in between and surely biting off more than he can chew in this company.
5
1st (5) (14/1 +22%) First Flow
14
14/1(+22%)
(5) First Flow 14/1, Useful hurdler who has progressed into a smart chaser, making it 6 wins in last 8 starts when landing Castleford at Wetherby over Christmas. This asks a much bigger question of him, though.
7
2nd (7) (1.38/1 +8%) Politologue
1.38
1.38/1(+8%)
(7) Politologue 1.38/1, Dominated from the outset when back to very best to land Champion Chase at Cheltenham in March and returned to win a second Tingle Creek at Sandown last month. The one to beat if in similar mood.
8
3rd (8) (2.5/1 +9%) Waiting Patiently
2.5
2.5/1(+9%)
(8) Waiting Patiently 2.5/1, Impressive winner of 2½m Grade 1 here in 2018. Fine third in 2m Tingle Creek on sole run last term and underlined his versatility regards trip when fast-finishing second in 3m King George on return.
LTO Selection:
15:35 Ascot Conditions Chase (Class 1) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(2) Jeremy Pass 2.75/1, Hadn't set the world alight in bumpers but is built and bred for jumping and looked a good prospect in making a winning hurdling bow after 11 months off at Wincanton (21.4f). Sure to progress.
3
(3) (5/1 +9%) Tupelo Mississippi
5
5/1(+9%)
(3) Tupelo Mississippi 5/1, Dual bumper winner who improved to get off the mark over hurdles in 6-runner novice at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 36 days ago, grinding it out back down in trip. Open to further improvement.
1
(1) (7.5/1 +17%) Buzz De Turcoing
7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(1) Buzz De Turcoing 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who stepped up on his reappearance effort to win 6-runner maiden at Haydock (22.8f, heavy) in December, suited by increase in trip. This is harder under a penalty.
5
(5) (150/1 -200%) Diakosaint
150
150/1(-200%)
(5) Diakosaint 150/1, Winning Irish pointer at third attempt in December, but looked one for later on in this sphere when comfortably held in a Market Rasen novice last week.
6
1st (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Gladiateur Allen
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(6) Gladiateur Allen 4.5/1, Out of a 17f-21f hurdle/chase winner and shaped with promise when runner-up in a 2½m Ffos Las maiden on debut. Failed to improve when third in a similar event at Exeter, but remains with potential.
4
2nd (4) (1.88/1 +6%) Valleres
1.88
1.88/1(+6%)
(4) Valleres 1.88/1, Irish point winner who overcame greenness to land 19.7f Wetherby novice hurdle with plenty in hand on return. Similar form in defeat since, including in Sandown Grade 2 last time. Well respected.

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.
