13:50 Ascot Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

EMARAATY ANA brings the best form to the table and should be able to take advantage dropping in grade and gain a first win of the season. Korker got badly outpaced at Beverley last time before coming home very strongly and this track should really play to his strengths, so he rates the main danger. Rage Of Bamby has been running well and looks to have the best chance of the rest.

EMARAATY ANA doesn't look the force of old, but he's still capable of smart form and this is very much his time of year as his record suggests, so he's fancied to get back on the scoresheet for the first time in a while. Rage of Bamby is a little less exposed than the rest, so she's second choice ahead of Nymphadora.

Zudu Spirit is a fascinating recruit to the Boughey yard but KORKER may be able to record the biggest win of his frustrating career.

This looks a good opportunity for AL AASY to get back to winning ways. The son of Sea The Stars was a touch unlucky not to land a hat-trick of victories in the Paddy Power Stakes at Leopardstown last month and he can go one better on a track that suits. Israr's best efforts put him very close to the selection meaning Shadwell hold a very strong hand, while Al Qareem bounced right back to his best at Chester last time and won't go down without a fight.

AL AASY wasn't as well placed as the winner when second in the Paddy Power Stakes at Leopardstown so that has to go down as another sound effort. He's established as a notch above most of these and is expected to quickly regain the winning thread in receipt of 2 lb from Israr. Of the others, Postileo deserves a crack at a race like this such was the impression he created at Hamilton.

Al Aasy looks sure to go well but slight preference is for AL QAREEM who could build on his 1m4f Chester win.

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

Commanche Falls is in marvellous form at the moment and his victory over Juan Les Pins in the Garrowby at York gives him an obvious chance in this, as that made it three wins out of his last four starts. However, a chance can be taken on the improving sprinter DARK TROOPER, who is unbeaten in his last four outings and has recorded two C&D successes to his name within those efforts. The son of Dark Angel could continue his rapid rise to strike. Garrus is more than capable at this level and also has to be considered.

ANNAF looks the one to beat having defied top weight in the Portland at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and his third in the King's Stand Stakes at the Royal Meeting confirms he handles this track. Thriving 3-y-o Dark Trooper is feared most as he bids for a 5-timer, ahead of another in-form sort Commanche Falls.

Portland winner ANNAF has a good chance at the weights and is taken to follow up. Dark Trooper is second choice

15:35 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The ultra-consistent QUINAULT arrives here on the back of a willing success over C&D last time and a repeat of that effort would see him go close once again. Stuart Williams' charge beat the reopposing Popmaster (second) by a neck on that occasion and that rival has subsequently franked the form by going one better over 7f at Newbury. Off 4lb better terms, the son of Oasis Dream can confirm that form, while the hat-trick seeking Baradar also appears likely to offer another bold bid.

A typically competitive renewal of this valuable handicap and FRESH is taken to register a belated first success of the season. The 6-y-o is now 3 lb lower than for the second of his two C&D victories in 2022 and again shaped as though he's ready to strike when sixth at the Curragh last month. The David O'Meara-trained duo Orbaan and Pearle d'Or both merit respect, while the hat-trick seeking Baradar, recent listed winner Popmaster and consistent types Quinault and Maywake all have claims, too.

Attractively handicapped FRESH (nap) can make it third time lucky in this contest. Baradar is second choice.

A case can be made for a few of these but arguably the one to beat is the highly-progressive NIGIRI, who put in a career best when second in a Group 3 at Doncaster. The daughter of Lope De Vega may have more improvement left to come and she could be hard to beat. Breege is a big threat following her fourth against the boys in a Listed race at Sandown, while Queen Aminatu and Cell Sa Beela are a couple of others to note.

A few with chances but BREEGE holds the edge on form and can gain a deserved first victory of the season at the chief expense of Ralph Beckett's progressive Nigiri who rates a big threat. Queen Aminatu can also have a say along with Farhh To Shy in an intriguing listed event.

This looks a suitable opportunity for BREEGE to finally double her tally. Improving Nigiri is feared most.

An eye-catcher when runner-up on his debut for new connections at Newcastle in August, BADRI never got a chance to hit top gear when denied a clear run in the Portland. Compensation may await and he is narrowly preferred to Intrinsic Bond, who finished third in that Doncaster dash and won over track and trip in July. Fellow C&D winner Mountain Peak must enter calculations, along with last year's winner Dream Composer and Get It, who has done well since joining the George Baker stable.

MOUNTAIN PEAK enhanced his track record with a good second over C&D last time and, if things go his way, he's up to going one better. Bedford Flyer, who was first home of those to race down the centre in the same race, is a danger as well as Intrinsic Bond, although it's an open race in general.

A cracking sprint to round off the card and the prize could be going to Scotland courtesy of dual C&D winner CALL ME GINGER.

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.
