Grey's Monument

12
12/1(+14%)
(1) Grey's Monument 12/1, Smart performer on AW, including a 1m Kempton listed win at the end of 2023. Good third of 11 in 7f Newcastle handicap in June. Off since. No easy task under top weight back on turf.
Seems to have a tougher task back on turf, though Joe Leavy's useful claim is some help.

Akkadian Thunder

22
22/1(+45%)
(9) Akkadian Thunder 22/1, On the up with 7f wins at Newcastle and Doncaster (good to firm) this year. Disappointed back on AW at Newcastle 16 days ago but he has bounced straight back from a blip before.
Took well to turf in June/July; this is harder but he still looks unexposed on grass.
13
3rd (13) Run Boy Run (10/1 +9%)
Run Boy Run

10
10/1(+9%)
(13) Run Boy Run 10/1, Winner of a Newcastle maiden in March and has improved since the application of cheekpieces, winning twice over 7f at Newmarket (good to firm/soft) last month. They were small-field affairs, though, and he'll need a big career best to complete a hat-trick in this stronger race.
Successful in small-field Class 3 events at Newmarket the last twice; this is different.
10
4th (10) Mission To Moon (5/1 +44%)
Mission To Moon

5
5/1(+44%)
(10) Mission To Moon 5/1, Returned with 7f Goodwood win on soft and showed he's effective on a firmer surface when an excellent fourth of 29 in the Britannia at the Royal meeting here. Respectable fourth of 11 at Glorious Goodwood since. Big player now taking on his elders.
Made the frame in 3yo handicaps at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood; solid chance.
12
5th (12) Miss Information (10/1 -67%)
Miss Information

10
10/1(-67%)
(12) Miss Information 10/1, Improved markedly with ready 7f wins at Chepstow/Epsom in July and even better form in defeat since, finishing a close third of 17 in a York Ebor handicap (good to firm) 16 days ago. Player.
Progressive form in 7f handicaps of late, close third at York latest; strong contender.
4
6th (4) Streets Of Gold (20/1 +0%)
Streets Of Gold

20
20/1(+0%)
(4) Streets Of Gold 20/1, No win since his 2-y-o days but he was an excellent third in last year's Jersey over C&D and added another good run over this C&D when sixth of 21 in the Victoria Cup in May. Not so good at Newbury last time but capable of bouncing back in first-time cheekpieces.
No win since 2yo season but has possibilities off this mark if taking well to headgear.
8
7th (8) Sterling Knight (33/1 +0%)
Sterling Knight

33
33/1(+0%)
(8) Sterling Knight 33/1, Winner of handicaps at Newbury (7f) and Newmarket (1m) this summer and has continued in good heart from revised mark since, including fourth of 6 at Epsom 12 days ago.
Multiple winner at a lower level; 0-11 in this grade; current mark is tough; opposed.
3
8th (3) Rebel Territory (13/2 +0%)
Rebel Territory

6.5
13/2(+0%)
(3) Rebel Territory 13/2, Won the 2023 Victoria Cup over C&D (soft). Not seen again until 3 lengths second of 14 in 7f Goodwood handicap (good to soft) 13 days ago. Entitled to come on for the outing.
Interesting with Goodwood reappearance under his belt; won the 2023 Victoria Cup here.
6
9th (6) New Image (12/1 -20%)
New Image

12
12/1(-20%)
(6) New Image 12/1, Fourth win of a productive first campaign with this yard when scoring over 1m here on Shergar Cup day. His subsequent York run was a little disappointing (finished 11th but subsequently disqualified after jockey weighed in 2 lb light) but he's not the type to stay down for long.
Generally progressive for current yard and has good Ascot form this summer; not ruled out.
5
10th (5) Spangled Mac (9/1 +44%)
Spangled Mac

9
9/1(+44%)
(5) Spangled Mac 9/1, Hit the target twice in 2023. Best effort this year when fourth of 11 at Newbury (7f) last month and shaped as if still in form when seventh of 13 at Chester last Saturday, left poorly positioned.
Disappointing in this race 12 months ago but made the frame at Royal Ascot earlier in 2023.
2
11th (2) The Wizard Of Eye (9/2 +10%)
The Wizard Of Eye

4.5
9/2(+10%)
(2) The Wizard Of Eye 9/2, Smart performance when making a winning start for Charlie Fellowes in the 21-runner Victoria Cup over C&D (good to firm) in May. A step up to Group 1 level at the Royal meeting here (6f) looked ambitious and he fared as well as could have been expected in sixth. Interesting back in a handicap.
Won the Victoria Cup over C&D on stable debut; got going too late in 6f Group 1 last time.
7
12th (7) Aalto (12/1 +14%)
Aalto

12
12/1(+14%)
(7) Aalto 12/1, Useful sort who posted a career best when running out a 2-length winner of the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f, good) in July. Far from disgraced in International over C&D next time but latest Chepstow run disappointing.
Returns to a more suitable scenario; won this year's Bunbury Cup; remains of interest.
11
13th (11) Blue Prince (14/1 -40%)
Blue Prince

14
14/1(-40%)
(11) Blue Prince 14/1, Has done really well for this yard, including bagging an 18-runner handicap at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) at the end of July. Another fine run there when third of 14 on good to soft 13 days ago. No reason why he won't give another good account.
Tough 3yo who is in great form and may not have reached his ceiling yet; one to consider.

13:35 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

An open event could go to THE WIZARD OF EYE, who landed the Victoria Cup over C&D in May. He was far from disgraced in the Jubilee Stakes the following month and, given that he remains fairly treated off a mark of 102, the return to handicaps can see him in a better light. Blue Prince (third) and Rebel Territory (sixth) met at Goodwood recently and the latter, who was returning from over a year off the track, could turn the tables. Others to note include Miss Information and the hat-trick seeking Run Boy Run.

A very useful handicap. Victoria Cup winner THE WIZARD OF EYE was far from disgraced when pitched into a Group 1 at the Royal meeting here next time and can resume his progression back in handicap company after a break. The chief threat may come from 3-y-os, notably Mission To Moon, who was an excellent fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, and Miss Information.

The suggestion is STREETS OF GOLD, ahead of The Wizard Of Eye and Miss Information in a typically warm race of its type.

The Reverend

4
4/1(+33%)
(9) The Reverend 4/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Newmarket (7f, soft) in November and similar form both starts under a penalty this summer, latterly when runner-up at Hamilton (11f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Can make his presence felt now handicapping with cheekpieces fitted.
Won on heavy; headgear goes on; trainer has won this race with handicap newcomers before.

2nd (2) French Duke (4/1 -14%)
French Duke

4
4/1(-14%)
(2) French Duke 4/1, Sea The Stars colt who caught the eye when sixth in King George V handicap here in June and duly confirmed as much when opening his account (hooded) in 10-runner Goodwood handicap (12f) 38 days ago. Up 9 lb on back of that but of firm interest again.
Settled better in a hood under James Doyle for a win at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm).
8
3rd (8) Poniros (9/2 +72%)
Poniros

4.5
9/2(+72%)
(8) Poniros 9/2, Won 1m Nottingham maiden on debut last autumn and has progressed in defeat, solid second behind Kings Gambit in London Gold Cup (10f) in May. Not in quite the same form in 2 starts since but gelded ahead of this and fancied to get back on track. Hood on 1st time.
Too free last time and needs to put that way behind him; gelded since and now has a hood.
1
4th (1) Imperial Sovereign (12/1 +40%)
Imperial Sovereign

12
12/1(+40%)
(1) Imperial Sovereign 12/1, Debut winner at Newcastle and shaped well when runner-up in a Kempton novice (11f) in March. Come up a little short at listed/Group 2 level and seemed to find stamina stretched on handicap debut when ninth in Melrose at York latest. Visor reached for back down in trip.
May have been stretched by 1m6f latest but a visor now goes on and others look more solid.
3
5th (3) Goodwood Odyssey (7/2 +22%)
Goodwood Odyssey

3.5
7/2(+22%)
(3) Goodwood Odyssey 7/2, Highly promising start when winning 2 of first 3 starts and found further progress equipped with blinkers when a ready winner of a soft-ground Goodwood handicap (12f) last month. Yard continue in good form and unlikely he's reached his limit on that evidence.
Won six-runner race at Goodwood (1m4f, soft) latest, perhaps better than the bare result.
11
6th (11) Whathappensinvegas (40/1 -21%)
Whathappensinvegas

40
40/1(-21%)
(11) Whathappensinvegas 40/1, Gained success of 2024 in 4-runner handicap at Hamilton (11f) in June. Mixed bag in defeat subsequently but latest fourth at Newmarket (10f) was one of his better efforts. However, this a lot more demanding back up in trip.
Won in May/June; back near that form latest; connections turn to hood and tongue-tie.
6
7th (6) Houstonn (14/1 -17%)
Houstonn

14
14/1(-17%)
(6) Houstonn 14/1, Opened his account in maiden company at Windsor (10f) in July and emerged with credit to finish placed both starts in handicaps since, latterly when second at Newbury (10f) 3 weeks ago. Step back up in trip will hold no fears but his mark has crept up a little more.
Seven races, best efforts his four on good to firm; that includes his last three runs.
7
8th (7) Kamboo (17/2 -6%)
Kamboo

8.5
17/2(-6%)
(7) Kamboo 17/2, AW novice winner in December who was flying too high returning in the Derby at Epsom and, having shaped better than bare result at Royal Ascot next time, he capitalised on drop in to calmer waters when winning 13-runner Newcastle handicap (12.5f) 16 days ago, cosily. Better still to come.
Sights lowered to win at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) 16 days ago, shaping as if more to give.
5
9th (5) Solomon (10/1 -25%)
Solomon

10
10/1(-25%)
(5) Solomon 10/1, Looked potentially smart when bolting up over shorter at Haydock (10.2f) in August and not seen to anything like best effect when fifth in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago, the steady gallop counting against him. Represents leading yard and he remains with untapped potential.
Brought out quickly when below form latest; plenty of encouragement for 1m4f before that.

14:10 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 12f  Race Class Flow

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

French Duke finished a creditable sixth in the King George V at the Royal meeting in June before striking at Goodwood next time, and he merits the utmost respect despite a subsequent 9lb hike in the ratings. The Reverend sports first-time cheekpieces on his handicap bow and must enter calculations along with stablemate Solomon. A chance is taken on HIGH ORDER, though, who makes significant appeal now dropped in trip off a 2lb lower mark having perhaps failed to stay an extended 1m6f at Doncaster.

FRENCH DUKE proved more professional in a first-time hood and duly confirmed earlier promise when opening his account at Goodwood (12f) 38 days ago. He looks the type who could go on progressing and is selected to come out on top again. The William Haggas trained-pair Solomon and The Reverend head the dangers, with another last-time-out winner Goodwood Odyssey another in the mix.

French Duke has more to prove than Goodwood Odyssey if the ground is softer than good and both face a potent rival in KAMBOO.

(3) Law Of Design 3/1, 25,000 gns yearling, Sottsass gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f-7f winner Great Page. Dam 7f winner. Encouraging start when third of 7 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good, 18/1) 15 days ago. Yard's newcomers often come on for the run so expected to do better.
Positive start to career when third at Newmarket (7f) 15 days ago; should improve.

Promise both starts and the fact went off fav suggests he's thought capable of even better.

Useful performance to win 17-runner York Ebor meeting nursery; bold show likely.

4th (2) Cape Breton (2/1 +56%)
Cape Breton

Dam, 1m/8.3f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m-1¾m winner First In Line. Yard has strong group of 2-y-os so worth a look in betting.
450,000gns son of Frankel who needs a close look on debut.

14:45 Ascot Stakes (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ANGEL HUNTER was given an initial figure of 83 after showing plenty of ability on his first three appearances, and he proved up to the task when landing a hotly-contested nursery at York's Ebor meeting. Now rated 90, Richard Hannon's colt sets a fine standard back in novice company and could even be Pattern class. Mr Fantastic has let down favourite-backers twice, but there has been nothing wrong with his performances at Hamilton and Haydock. Law Of Design offered encouragement at Newmarket, and Cape Breton is a fascinating newcomer.

York nursery winner ANGEL HUNTER is the clear pick on form and the one to beat with more to come. Law of Design should come on for a promising debut, while Cape Bretton is an interesting newcomer.

Having won a nursery at the York Ebor meeting, ANGEL HUNTER is the one to beat despite his penalty.

Departed early in the Derby; appreciated the drop in grade to be third at Newbury.

More needed than when second at Redcar but this longer distance could trigger something.

15:20 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 10f  Race Class Flow

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

A tentative vote goes to BRIONI, who ran a career best on the back of wind surgery when runner-up in a valuable handicap at Goodwood last month. Alan King's charge may have been unfancied on that occasion, but he can prove that effort was no fluke, with recent Goodwood second Hot Fuss and former Derby hopeful Voyage looking best placed to chase him home. An unlucky fourth when not getting a clear run at York latest, Whiskey Pete is another to note.

Plenty are in with a shout but Tom Dascombe's HOT FUSS looks the way off just a 1 lb higher mark for his excellent recent Goodwood second. Savvy Exchange is feared most on the back of his eye-catching Redcar second, with Brioni and More Thunder also well in the mix.

A chance is taken on PALACE GREEN. His last run needs forgiving but he was seriously eyecatching in his two races prior to that.

Fresh

3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(4) Fresh 10/3, A frequent visitor to Ascot over the years and while he's probably not quite as good as he once was, his mark reflects that and he was placed twice in handicaps over 6f/7f in July. Versatile ground-wise and it's not hard to envisage this 7-y-o playing a leading role.

Has a terrific track record and the recent rain is in his favour; big chance back here.

Strong 7f handicap form in May; close between him and Rock Opera on 6f run in June.

Has the form to go well but off for 12 months, best on good/quicker ground and no headgear.

In good form at 6f on AW and turf; probably needs more off current mark.

(6) Two Tribes 3/1, Likeable sort who typically gave his running when fourth in a valuable, big-field York handicap (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Probably doesn't hold any secrets from the handicapper but should give it a good shot nonetheless. Proven on good to soft (unraced on slower).
Thereabouts in useful 6f handicaps this year; this calls for more.

15:55 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Jockey Billy Loughnane seemed to get a good tune out of FRESH when third in a valuable handicap here over 7f in July, and a 2lb rise for that effort could prove lenient. Dropping back to 6f should not inconvenience either and this course regular can see off the likes of narrow Goodwood second Tacarib Bay, and Buccabay, who makes his first start for new connections. Two Tribes is likely to be thereabouts as well after an eye-catching effort at York last month.

There were positives to glean from ROHAAN's latest effort at Goodwood and, now 6 lb lower in the weights compared to when notching a fifth C&D success last October, he may well be the answer. Fellow course regular Fresh is likely to offer stern resistance on the back of solid placed efforts here the last twice. James Fanshawe's charge is feared most ahead of Tacarib Bay and Two Tribes.

Tacarib Bay is a big danger but ROHAAN (nap) has such a good record here that he gets the vote. Fresh can also have a big say.

20/1(-67%)
(8) Ziggy's Phoenix 20/1, Caused a 66/1 shock at Newmarket in May and arguably surpassed that performance when accounting for 7 rivals in a Goodwood handicap (1m, good) 15 days ago. 4 lb rise by no means the end of the world but now finds herself in deeper waters.
Won on good to soft at Goodwood latest and Leavy's claim offsets the bulk of her 4lb rise.

4th (6) Imperial Express (9/1 -38%)
Imperial Express

9
9/1(-38%)
(6) Imperial Express 9/1, Successful in lesser handicaps than this at Ffos Las and Hamilton either side of a respectable effort in the 1m Glorious Goodwood contest won by Arisaig, finishing around 3 lengths adrift of the re-opposing Surveyor. Nudged up just 2 lb for latest success but more needed now upped to 0-100 company.
Behind Surveyor at Goodwood but won in mud at Hamilton since; player if ground is testing.

Rowayeh

2.5
5/2(+38%)
(3) Rowayeh 5/2, Ran right up to best when fourth in the C&D Kensington Palace at the Royal meeting in June. Not in same form upped to 1¼m next time but subsequent Goodwood third was a step back in the right direction and she's high on the shortlist.
Fourth in Kensington Palace over C&D; also good third at Glorious Goodwood; big player.

Twirling

4/1(+50%)
(1) Twirling 4/1, Raised her game when opening turf account at Doncaster (1m, good) in May and good efforts in defeat at Newmarket and Goodwood the last twice. Remains on what appears to be a fair mark and another bold show on the cards.
Placed over 1m on good to soft at Newmarket and Goodwood the last twice; thereabouts again.

16:30 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Twirling has made the frame in each of her last two starts in class 3 handicaps and should make a bold bid off the same mark as her third at Goodwood last month. However, ROWAYEH finished 15 places in front of her in the Kensington Palace here in June and that may be the key piece of form to focus on. Owen Burrows' four-year-old produced a solid effort when a close-up third at Goodwood last time and can return to winning ways. Surveyor completes the shortlist.

The majority of these are viable candidates, so it's not an easy puzzle to solve. That said, ROWAYEH probably hasn't shown her full hand just yet and the form of her Kensington Palace fourth at the Royal meeting is probably just about the best on offer, particularly bearing in mind that she almost certainly would've finished closer granted a clear run. Next on the list is Twirling, while Surveyor, who got the better of Queen of Atlantis and Fair Point over C&D in July, is also feared.

A few with good C&D form, notably Kensington Palace fourth ROWAYEH, who posted another fine run in a hot handicap at Goodwood last time.

1st (7) Woolhampton (6/1 +50%)
Woolhampton

6
6/1(+50%)
(7) Woolhampton 6/1, Successful over C&D during the spring and struck again when coming from off the pace at Windsor in June. However, good run of form came to a grinding halt following a tardy start at Newbury last time. 3 lb higher compared to when finishing third in this 12 months ago and she looks vulnerable.
Two wins in 2024, including over C&D; normally dependable but never going on latest start.

2nd (12) Brooklyn Nine Nine (3/1 +54%)
Brooklyn Nine Nine

3
3/1(+54%)
(12) Brooklyn Nine Nine 3/1, Lightly-raced sort who didn't get much luck in handicaps last season and was spared a hard race when fourth on return at Thirsk. Badly hampered approaching final furlong when fifth of 12 at York (5f, good) on latest start in May and could be a threat if ready to roll following a break.
Almost laughable the times he's been unlucky; capable of a big run if things go his way.
13
3rd (13) Faustus (12/1 +33%)
Faustus

12
12/1(+33%)
(13) Faustus 12/1, Successful for Robert Cowell at Nottingham in June and opened account for present connections when battling well to record a narrow verdict at Newbury (5.2f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Likely to give another good account, albeit a 4 lb rise could just find him out.
Won 2 of last 4 starts at 5f; return to this stiff test may not be ideal.

4th (4) Badri (11/2 +54%)
Badri

5.5
11/2(+54%)
(4) Badri 11/2, Hit the target on five occasions in 2023, the latest of those wins was gained over this C&D off a 10 lb higher mark last October. Below par first half of this season but has acquitted himself well all 3 starts since joining this yard and couldn't rule out back here.
Good C&D form on good and good to soft; well treated; remains of interest back here.

5th (6) Haymaker (3/1 +70%)
Haymaker

3
3/1(+70%)
(6) Haymaker 3/1, Dual winner of handicaps earlier this season prior to solid placed efforts next 2 starts, including when a close third in a 17-runner contest over this C&D in July. Has blown the start at Windsor the last twice but will be a threat if able to get away on terms this time.
Possibilities on early-summer form, including C&D; ground query on slower than good.

6th (3) Kylian (13/2 -8%)
Kylian

13/2(-8%)
(3) Kylian 13/2, Struggled to make an impact initially for this yard but back on track having been gelded the last twice, finishing second in the Shergar Cup Dash here last month prior to another creditable effort at York. Now tried in blinkers and not without an each-way chance with James Doyle booked.
Very useful 2yo; back to form when 2nd over C&D in August; perhaps has share of weight.

Isle Of Lismore

25
25/1(-14%)
(8) Isle Of Lismore 25/1, Better than ever when scoring over C&D in May. Followed that with a near-miss at Newmarket later that month but the wheels have rather come off since and he needs to get back on track with cheekpieces refitted (last worn back in 2020).
Multiple winner, including over C&D in May; off the boil of late; cheekpieces return.
11
8th (11) The Big Board (9/1 +50%)
The Big Board

9
9/1(+50%)
(11) The Big Board 9/1, Won three of her first 4 starts in 2023, including over this C&D, and best effort so far this year also came here when just touched off in a 9-runner handicap at the end of July. However, she failed to back that up at Newbury next time and profile is start to look somewhat patchy.
Had strong handicap form over C&D and at York in 2023; tougher this year; ran flat latest.

17:05 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Good Earth is in sparkling form at present after completing a double at Sandown last week and he remains on a workable mark. However, this is a much tougher assignment and, with that in mind, the vote goes to EXISTENT. Stuart Williams' six-year-old finished a close-up fourth over C&D in July and competes off a 4lb lower rating. If he can recapture that level of form, he ought to go close. Previous C&D winner Dream Composer and Brooklyn Nine Nine are just two others to consider.

It's been some time since EXISTENT last got his head in front but he has slipped to an attractive mark and a reproduction of his solid C&D effort in July would put him firmly in the picture. Haymaker is capable of a bold show if he gets it right at the start, while Brooklyn Nine Nine is also of interest.

The recent rain complicates things but perhaps this will be the day when BROOKLYN NINE NINE finally gets a charmed passage.

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.
