13:35 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Tis Marvellous has won two of the last four renewals of this contest and would be foolish to dismiss following a disappointing run in the Wokingham at the Royal meeting in June. He has dropped to his last winning mark, which coincidentally came in the 2021 running of this, but BOND CHAIRMAN can get the better of the nine-year-old. He finished two and three quarter lengths behind Intrinsic Bond over C&D last month but, now 8lb better off with that rival, he is taken to reverse the form. Rogue Lightning is another to consider following a comfortable success at Doncaster.

After 7 weeks off (had been gelded), ROGUE LIGHTNING got back on track in a first-time visor when doubling his career tally at Doncaster last month and he could still have more to offer. The 3-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of Intrinsic Bond, who produced a career best when winning at this C&D on his stable debut 2 weeks ago, while Existent also merits consideration.

The way ROGUE LIGHTNING dashed past his rivals on his first 5f attempt suggests he can hold his own in this better race.

A fairly open contest in which marginal preference is for ZOFFEE. His latest run on the all-weather can be excused, as he finished three and a quarter lengths behind Ahorsewithnoname in the Ascot Stakes two starts ago. He is rated 1lb higher than when only beaten a neck in the Chester Cup and will take some stopping if anywhere near that form. Prydwen has to shoulder top-weight but must still be noted following a creditable third at Newmarket last month, while Irish raider The Very Man completes the shortlist.

ZOFFEE had an excuse for his run in the Northumberland Plate and can bounce back to form with a bang under Frankie Dettori. The Very Man, the mount of Hollie Doyle, ran a stormer at Galway recently and is second choice ahead of top-weight Prdywen.

Consistently sound efforts in Ireland from THE VERY MAN in recent starts put him top of the list. Most of the rest look far more dodgy.

14:45 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

William Haggas won last year's renewal with PRIDE OF PRIORY and the gelded son of Pivotal is expected to be thereabouts once more. He has dropped to his last winning mark, which came in this 12 months ago, and he looks the one to beat following a fair third at Ripon last month. Scampi could benefit from a stiffer stamina test having finished a little over five lengths back in sixth at York over an extended 1m2f. He is feared most ahead of La Yakel.

It's likely we haven't seen the best of LA YAKEL, who is still low mileage and made a very pleasing return here last month. He is fancied to score. Andaleep and Scampi have acquitted themselves really well this term and are also expected to make their presence felt.

Lightly raced LA YAKEL so nearly made a winning reappearance when bidding to make it two wins from as many starts at Ascot.

There was just a few lengths separating Perotto (seventh), The Wizard Of Eye (sixth) and ESCOBAR (13th) when the trio met in the Golden Mile at Goodwood last Friday, and the latter shades preference. A subsequent ease in the handicap leaves David O'Meara's charge on a 5lb lower mark than when winning over 7f here last October, and the likelihood of a strong gallop ought to further aid his chances. Empirestateofmind is also noted.

The vote goes to RAINBOW FIRE, who landed a useful Haydock handicap during the spring and while he has failed to reproduce that level of form in two subsequent starts, the 5-y-o is interesting now moving back up to a mile. Positive Impact will be a big threat if on-song and he is feared most ahead of Empirestateofmind and Perotto. Consideration should also be given to Escobar, who is now 5 lb lower than for his success in a major handicap here in 2022.

There's a little more for him to prove if the ground is softer than good but RAINBOW FIRE going back up to 1m may well be the way to go.

An opening mark of 87 looks more than fair for RAJASTHAN based on what he achieved in his three qualifying runs, perhaps most notably when chasing home the now 109-rated Cicero's Gift at Newbury last October. The son of Dubawi is fancied to make a successful handicap bow. With stamina assured at this trip, Golden Move looks set to mount another stern challenge having struck at Doncaster three weeks ago. Intinso and Like A Tiger can battle it out for the minor honours.

GOLDEN MOVE relished the step up to this distance when opening his account on handicap debut at Doncaster last time and a well-run race should bring further improvement out of him, so he gets the narrow vote in what looks a competitive affair. Satin also arrives on the up and is feared most, while Rajasthan appeals as the type to benefit from a step up to this distance, so he also makes the shortlist.

Richard Fahey and Oliver Peslier combined to win this race at the 2014 Shergar Cup and may be able to repeat the feat with GOLDEN MOVE.

There have been few more progressive than QUINAULT this season. Stuart Williams' gelding has rocketed through the handicap, going up a total of 38lb since winning at Chelmsford in April. The form of his latest Newmarket success took a timely boost when the runner-up bolted up in Listed company last weekend and, with further improvement on the cards, he is difficult to oppose. Washington Heights finished fourth in that same contest and could get closer with a 7lb swing in the weights. Zaman Jemil, who was due to go off favourite for the Stewards' Cup consolation race before being withdrawn at the start, appeals most of the remainder.

DARK TROOPER has quickly made up into a useful sprinter, producing a career-best display when going in again at Haydock on Sunday and he could well represent a spot of value turned out quickly under a penalty. Quinault, a real success story, has to be respected in search of a remarkable 7-timer with his old adversary Washington Heights another to consider. Batal Dubai completes the shortlist.

Quinault won't give up his winning spree easily but DARK TROOPER (nap) looks well ahead of the handicapper under a 3lb penalty.

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.
