Race 1 Ascot 13:00 Stakes (Class 3) 10f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
16	7 Amanzoe Much improved in handicaps this summer, relishing the step up to this trip as she landed the odds again in fillies' event at Sandown a fortnight ago. More to come. 0-41211	9-4	Joanna Mason	William Haggas	1.5/1	2.5/1	67
21	6 Adjourn Off the mark in 10.2f Doncaster handicap 3 weeks ago with a bit in hand. Good chance he has more to offer after just 5 starts. 25-431	9-4	Kerrin McEvoy	David Simcock	3.5/1	2.5/1		29
28	9 Blenheim Boy Successful return in 1m Ripon handicap in the mud and has held his own in some warm events subsequently, running well against his elders at York 4 weeks ago. Keen goer but plenty of stamina on dam's side of his pedigree to suggest he should stay this longer trip. One to consider. 61-1803	9-4	Jamie Spencer	Richard Fahey	6/1	6.5/1	8
10	10 Value Theory Newmarket winner at 2 yrs and good efforts in handicaps the last twice, conceding first run in fillies' contest at Goodwood (10f) 10 days ago. Wouldn't dismiss. 6-76533	9-4	Christophe-Patrice	Charlie & Mark	8.5/1	6.5/1		24
7	3 HMS President Off the mark for the season in 5-runner 12f Goodwood handicap in June but not so good back in hotter races the last twice (excuses first occasion). Takes a marked drop back in trip having gone close in the 12f handicap at this meeting last year. 944100	9-12	Kieran Shoemark	Eve Johnson	11/1	12/1	9
21	1 Carolus Magnus Dual winner at Newmarket last year and a few good runs in handicaps this term, including behind Adjourn at Doncaster 3 weeks ago when very slowly away. 1-52933	9-12	Jason Collett	Andrew Balding	11/1	7/1		36
15	8 Atheby Off the mark at Nottingham in May and back on track in 1m Newmarket handicap a fortnight ago fitted with a tongue tie. Has plenty on against some improving 3-y-os on these terms for all his rider has a tremendous record at this fixture. 754183	9-4	Hayley Turner	Jane Chapple-Hyam	28/1	50/1	79
38	2 Civil Law Started the year with 2 wins on AW but needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Kempton 5 weeks ago. 121789	9-12	Frankie Dettori	Roger Teal	33/1	25/1		24
12	5 Pistoletto Has had a busy year, winning again on polytrack in April. Poor run at Windsor last time and this looks tough. 540645	9-12	Nicola Currie	John Ryan	35/1	40/1	14
30	4 Humanitarian Smart on his day for John Gosden but little impact for this yard this year, looking very hard work at Newmarket last time. Back up in trip. 0-79S00	9-12	Jose-Luis Martinez	Stuart Williams	40/1	50/1	25

There are 10 runners in this race.

Race 2 Ascot 13:35 Stakes (Class 3) 7f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
8	1 Orbaan Merit seemed established in handicaps but he cranked it up a notch when an easy winner of a competitive handicap at Goodwood last week. Penalty to carry but has to be of serious interest. 932281	10-3	Neil Callan	David O'Meara	2.5/1	3.33/1	33
29	5 Epsom Faithfull Big improver on the AW during the winter, completing a hat-trick at Kempton in early March and improved another jolt when landing 6f handicap here a month ago. Very likeable profile. 111591	9-12	Rene Piechulek	Pat Phelan	2.5/1	3.33/1	33
14	4 Divine Magic Improved again to resume winning ways in 6-runner handicap at Leicester (7f) last month. Conceded first run to the winner when second at Newmarket 3 weeks later so she remains in top form. 57-3312	9-12	Takeshi Yokoyama	Marco Botti	4.5/1	3.5/1		22
11	3 Crazy Luck Back-to-back winner over 6f this summer and much better than the result at Goodwood 11 days ago over that trip, finishing with running left. Well worth a shot at 7f but work to do on these terms. 622119	9-12	Hayley Turner	Rod Millman	9/1	7/1		22
7	6 Gweedore Asserted in good style back up in trip in 9-runner handicap at Ayr (1m) a month ago. Failed to go with any fluency at Thirsk but likely to bounce back given overall profile. 652210	9-12	Emma-Jayne Wilson	Katie Scott	12/1	7/1		42
35	7 Stone Soldier Very best form has come on the AW, adding to tally in minor company at Southwell in March. Probably needed the run back on turf last month and should build on that. U-25147	9-12	Jamie Spencer	Archie Watson	14/1	10/1		29
10	2 Bowman Fairly useful last year for Mark Johnston and has returned to similar form for this yard when causing a shock in a 15-runner event at the Derby meeting at Epsom (7f). Backed that up when second at hat track next time and latest Goodwood run easy to excuse. 582120	9-12	Kerrin McEvoy	Laura Mongan	16/1	12/1		25

There are 7 runners in this race.

Race 3 Ascot 14:10 Handicap (Class 2) 5f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
21	6 Manaccan Useful colt who was ran well in a big-field handicap at the Royal meeting here and backed that up when second over 5f at Chester in a first-time tongue tie (retained) 21 days ago. Fine at 6f. Should be in the mix under Hayley Turner. 164-752	9-10	Hayley Turner	John Ryan	3.75/1	3.5/1		7
35	3 Arecibo Smart gelding who got back on track when third in Temple Stakes (28/1) at Haydock (5f) in May. Respectable 2 lengths second in Sandown listed latest and ought to be competitive back in a handicap. Yard is no stranger to success in this race. 43-7307	10-1	Daniel Tudhope	Robert Cowell	5/1	4.5/1		10
14	5 King Of Stars Yet to add to his four 2021 wins this term, but he ran right up to his best when second of 10 over C&D a fortnight ago. Unlikely to be too far away if turning up in a similar mood. 640202	9-11	Takeshi Yokoyama	Michael Appleby	6/1	4/1		33
21	9 Count D'orsay Winless since 2020 but plenty of creditable efforts this term, including fifth of 20 over C&D on penultimate start. Each-weay shout for Team Europe and Jose-Luis Martinez. 203654	9-6	Jose-Luis Martinez	Tim Easterby	7/1	11/1	57
42	4 Judicial Multiple listed/Group 3 winner. Didn't fire in the Chipchase at Newcastle in June but he looked to retain a good portion of ability on AW in the spring and he's one to consider back in a handicap under Frankie Dettori. 325-289	10-0	Frankie Dettori	Julie Camacho	9/1	7/1		22
7	1 Lampang Gelded and in fine form this term, bagging 6f handicaps at Ayr and Pontefract. Had excuses in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last weekend and treated as if still in good form. Likely to go well under Christophe Lemaire. 00-1010	10-2	Christophe-Patrice	Tim Easterby	10/1	6/1		40
14	2 Hurricane Ivor :Real improver for current yard in 2021, landing the Portland at Doncaster before following up in Group 3 company at Newbury. However, he's beaten only one home in his 3 outings this year so first-time blinkers need to give him a lift. 118-099	10-2	Rene Piechulek	William Haggas	12/1	16/1	33
13	8 Dubai Station Scored at Chelmsford in May but down the field in the Wokingham here next time and only a respectable fifth of 11 back at Chelmsford since. One of 3 runners from his stable. 22-6105	9-9	Kieran Shoemark	Robert Cowell	16/1	14/1		13
8	10 Ready Freddie Go Useful sprinter who has landed 5f handicaps at Thirsk and Hamilton this year. Capable of bouncing back from a below-par run at Musselburgh last time. 102617	9-6	Neil Callan	Ollie Pears	18/1	18/1		0
36	7 Blue De Vega C&D winner. Made a successful reappearance at Newbury in April but has been down the field on all 3 outings since. Others more obvious. 47-1500	9-9	Joanna Mason	Robert Cowell	25/1	40/1	60

There are 10 runners in this race.

Race 4 Ascot 14:45 Handicap (Class 2) 16f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
8	10 Super Superjack Has taken his form up another notch this year, winning twice over 2m in the spring (second one here) and excellent second in 20f Goodwood handicap 8 days ago when conceding first run to the winner. Big player. 2-11232	9-3	Nicola Currie	Milton Harris	2.25/1	1.88/1		16
21	1 Rock Eagle Useful and consistent gelding who comes here on the back of a good second of 6 in 2m handicap at Newbury 21 days ago. Ought to be competitive again. 322-682	10-2	Kerrin McEvoy	Ralph Beckett	5/1	4.5/1		10
9	4 Throne Hall Useful sort but it's now thirteen runs since his last win in 2021. Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f) 9 days ago though so he enters calculations. 902232	9-12	Emma-Jayne Wilson	Archie Watson	7/1	11/1	57
42	3 Island Brave C&D winner but he's yet to make the frame in 2022, respectable eighth of 20 in Newcastle Plate Handicap 42 days ago. Bit more is needed here despite a falling mark. 857008	9-12	Jose-Luis Martinez	Heather Main	11/1	16/1	45
21	5 Going Gone Resumed with 12f win at Epsom (12f) and posted excellent fourth in the Ascot Stakes (20f) in June. Came in last of 6 in 2m handicap at Newbury 21 days ago however so he needs to get back on track. 61-1346	9-12	Rene Piechulek	Jim Boyle	14/1	9/1		36
8	7 Make My Day Runner-up on his first two starts over 2m this term, including over C&D, but well held over 2m4f on both runs since. Back down in trip now and he shouldn't be dismissed. 61/2200	9-8	Daniel Tudhope	Gary Moore	14/1	6.5/1		54
7	6 Themaxwecan Landed 2m Godwood handicap last September. Only one creditable effort to show for his 5 outings this season, visored when eleventh over 14f there 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now and he's no forlorn hope off an easing mark. 0-04000	9-9	Jamie Spencer	Charlie & Mark	16/1	9/1		44
25	2 Red Verdon Admirable sort who wasn't disgraced when second of 5 in 2m handicap at Beverley 25 days ago. Cheekpieces again replace blinkers. Not dismissed. 548002	10-1	Antonio Fresu	Ed Dunlop	20/1	18/1		10
7	8 Golden Flame Good front-running second at Haydock (2m) in May but well below that level in 4 outings since, beating only one in 14f handicap at Goodwood 7 days ago. Has work to do. 720060	9-8	Jason Collett	Charlie & Mark	33/1	16/1		52
31	9 Moliwood Consistent AW performer who landed 2m Kempton handicap in January. Well below his best on only turf run this term though and he starts out for a new yard here having left Marco Botti for 42 000gns. Lots more is needed. 4-14766	9-5	Kieran Shoemark	Dylan Cunha	40/1	40/1		0

There are 10 runners in this race.

Race 5 Ascot 15:20 Handicap (Class 2) 12f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
14	4 Pride Of Priory Two wins from 4 starts as a 3-y-o and, having finished well held first 2 starts on turf during the spring, he's resumed progress on AW recently, scoring at Kempton and doing well in circumstances to follow-up at Newcastle (12.5f) 2 weeks ago. Serious player in hat-trick bid. 11-0011	9-11	Kieran Shoemark	William Haggas	3.33/1	3/1		10
15	7 The Whipmaster 4-y-o who comes here at the top of his game, completing 4-timer at Windsor (11.5f) in June and losing little caste in defeat behind a smart sort over C&D 15 days ago. Only 1 lb higher now and expected to be in the mix again. 611112	9-9	Antonio Fresu	Gary Moore	4/1	2.75/1		31
21	2 Charging Thunder 4-y-o who is enjoying a productive campaign, making it 3 wins from 4 starts since cheekpieces went on at Newmarket (14f) 3 weeks ago. headed last ½f but leading again close home. May not have reached his limit yet. 221511	10-2	Rene Piechulek	David O'Meara	5.5/1	9/1	64
29	9 Southern Voyage Useful handicapper who rattled off hat-trick at Thirsk (12f) last September, winning cosily. Never got competitive in Old Rowley Cup final start and ran to bad to be true when last of 8 on return at York (11.8f) 4 weeks ago. Needs to step up plenty on that. 41110-8	9-8	Neil Callan	Archie Watson	10/1	10/1		0
50	8 State Of Bliss Capitalised on sliding mark to land 7-runner Ripon handicap (12f) in April, keeping on well and in command near line. Exploits have been mixed in 3 starts since, including at the Royal Meeting latest but wouldn't be first from this yard to bounce back. 581750	9-8	Frankie Dettori	Charlie & Mark	11/1	8/1		27
7	5 Pretty Sweet Not out of the first 3 during a busy second half of 2021 and give her running more often than not in defeat this term, fourth of 7 in face of stiff task at listed level at Newmarket (12f) 7 days ago. Return to handicaps rates more suitable. 1-30054	9-9	Jason Collett	George Boughey	11/1	11/1		0
45	10 Celtic Art Bright start for new yard on AW this winter landing pair of 12f Lingfield handicaps prior to good third at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in March. Feasible to think first start for 4 months was needed at Salisbury (14f) in June but his mark looks about right. 2-13136	9-8	Takeshi Yokoyama	Jeremy Scott	14/1	12/1		14
42	3 Onesmoothoperator Gained second career success at Southwell (11f) in December. Hit frame next 4 starts on AW and not disgraced despite finishing last of 6 in York listed event penultimate start. Below best in Northumberland Plate latest so bounce back called for now. 222360	10-0	Joanna Mason	Brian Ellison	14/1	12/1		14
43	1 Angel Power Useful mare who shaped as if retaining plenty of ability when third of 4 on return at listed level in April. Hasn't kicked on subsequently though. no impression when sixth of 9 in Newcastle Group 3 in June. Others arrive with more pressing claims. 27-3306	10-2	Hayley Turner	Roger Varian	20/1	16/1		20
21	6 Danehill Kodiac Very lightly raced in recent seasons and, having shaped as if retaining plenty of ability on his belated return for new yard over C&D in May, he's been unable to match that level in 2 starts subsequently. 522/607	9-9	Christophe-Patrice	Joe Tickle	40/1	40/1		0

There are 10 runners in this race.

Race 6 Ascot 15:55 Handicap (Class 2) 8f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
28	6 Montassib Progressive 4-y-o who scored at Wetherby and Goodwood before posting very good efforts in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot and Bunbury Cup at Newmarket. Highly likely there's more to come now he steps up to 1m. Big chance. 1/1154	9-11	Daniel Tudhope	William Haggas	2/1	1/1		50
28	5 Isla Kai Yet to add to his four 2021 wins this term but posted another creditable effort when fourth at York (7.9f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Can make presence felt. 2-40464	9-11	Frankie Dettori	Nigel Tinkler	5/1	2.75/1		45
14	3 Bopedro Irish Cambridgeshire winner in 2021 who ran a race full of promise on first outing since leaving Jessica Harrington (for 80,000 gns) when fourth here (1m) 2 weeks ago, keeping on well having not been ideally placed. One to be interested in. 36-5084	10-1	Jamie Spencer	David O'Meara	6.5/1	11/1	69
14	10 Jungle Cove Off the mark for the season when taking 10f Leopardstown handicap in July and improved again when edged out close home in 4-runner minor event at Gowran (9.5f, good) 2 weeks ago. Seems likely to give another good account. 243812	9-6	Emma-Jayne Wilson	Mrs John	7.5/1	14/1	87
29	1 Shelir Smart handicapper who probably needed the run in a first-time hood after 9 months off when fifth in 7f York handicap 29 days ago. Entitled to build on that now back in cheekpieces, though current mark leaves little room for manoeuvre. 92917-5	10-2	Christophe-Patrice	David O'Meara	14/1	33/1	136
28	9 Via Serendipity Won this in 2018 when trained by Stuart Williams and stepped up on his first 2 starts this year when scoring at Sandown in June. Below form both starts since, though. 6-84108	9-6	Takeshi Yokoyama	Charlie Fellowes	14/1	16/1	14
22	7 Redarna Course winner. Thirteen wins from 47 Flat runs, including the Hunt Cup at Thirsk in April. Turned in another good effort when second in an optional claiming event at Pontefract (8f, good) 22 days ago, though rather threw away his chance by hanging badly left. 86-1932	9-8	Neil Callan	Dianne Sayer	16/1	20/1	25
28	2 Greatgadian Much improved this year, winning a couple of small-field Chelmsford handicaps over 10f. However, has failed to translate that improvement back on turf, albeit in a brace of top handicaps. 58-1100	10-1	Kerrin McEvoy	Roger Varian	16/1	12/1		25
31	4 Lexington Dash Showed the benefit of reappearance/stable debut when winning 11-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft) 31 days ago, driven out. Nudged up 5 lb but should remain competitive. 7370-71	10-0	Antonio Fresu	John C McConnell	16/1	28/1	75
60	8 Imperial Sands Best effort on turf when runner-up at Newmarket in May but returns from a small break with something to prove following a limp display back on the all-weather in first-time cheekpieces at Chelmsford last time. 126276	9-6	Nicola Currie	Archie Watson	25/1	66/1	164

There are 10 runners in this race.

Race 7 Ascot 16:30 Handicap (Class 3) 12f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
37	5 Hamaki Back-to-back winner last summer and resumed progress when scoring at Haydock last time. Type to go on improving and shapes as if he'll stay this far, so could take the beating under Spencer. 6117-31	9-10	Jamie Spencer	William Haggas	3/1	3/1		0
28	6 Berkshire Breeze Consistent to date and found a bit of improvement when runner-up at this course 28 days ago. This is a bit more competitive and he's back down in trip, but not dismissed. 2-43322	9-8	Joanna Mason	Andrew Balding	4.5/1	3/1		33
16	3 Franz Strauss Gradually progressive and didn't lose much in defeat to an improver at Sandown last time. Should go well again under a positive ride. 1-4302	10-0	Jose-Luis Martinez	John & Thady	5.5/1	8/1	45
8	4 Sheer Rocks Likeable type who overcame the run of the race to score cosily under this jockey at Chester in July and backed it up with a creditable fourth at Goodwood 8 days ago. Should give another good account. 1-85314	9-11	Frankie Dettori	Eve Johnson	7.5/1	8/1	7
12	11 Wootton'Sun Fairly useful sort who has been in good order and shapes as if this trip will suit, so he's a definite player. 5-17432	8-13	Rene Piechulek	Richard Fahey	10/1	11/1	10
10	2 Approachability Useful sort who was quickly back to form when mid-field (despite missing the break) at Goodwood 10 days ago. Leaves the impression there's a bigger effort in him. 23-9256	10-0	Hayley Turner	Charlie & Mark	10/1	12/1	20
12	7 Pub Crawl Good efforts in defeat the last twice, second again at Windsor last time. He's not the most straightforward, though, and often starts slowly, so he will need everything to drop right. 225922	9-2	Jason Collett	Michael Bell	12/1	12/1		0
20	1 Supagirl Already a three-time winner this season and shaped nicely under a 10-lb claimer at the Curragh last time. Should be on the premises again. 514713	10-2	Christophe-Patrice	Mrs John	14/1	8/1		43
8	10 Sharp Combo Off the mark at the second attempt in a Wolverhampton maiden last term but just one creditable effort from 4 outings this year. 32-0245	8-13	Emma-Jayne Wilson	Charlie & Mark	18/1	28/1	56
22	9 Dancing Tango Lightly-raced filly who improved her form when fifth at Newbury on handicap bow. Mark clearly demands more, though. 0335	9-2	Daniel Tudhope	Harry & Roger	20/1	14/1		30

There are 10 runners in this race.

Race 8 Ascot 17:05 Handicap (Class 2) 6f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
30	3 Admiral D Dual 6f winner at 2 yrs in Ireland and has worked his way into top form for new connections. Latest second of 19 at Newmarket is a strong piece of form, and he could take the beating. 051-962	9-12	Joanna Mason	Richard Fahey	2.75/1	4/1	45
30	7 Razeyna Took a big step forward dropped to 6f for the first time when cosy winner of 10-runner handicap at Carlisle 30 days ago. More to come, so boasts strong claims. 1331	9-3	Jose-Luis Martinez	William Haggas	3.75/1	4/1	7
16	4 Spangled Mac Thriving on racing, completing a remarkable 4-timer inside 15 days in 6-runner handicap (9/4) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago, readily. Must be considered again. 331111	9-11	Nicola Currie	George Boughey	6/1	7.5/1	25
11	6 Adaay In Asia Arrives in top form having completed a double at Chepstow and Goodwood in July, having something to spare at latter track 11 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards. 553311	9-5	Neil Callan	Harry Dunlop	8/1	4/1		50
5	8 Sterling Knight Won twice earlier this year, including over C&D, and finished with running left when third of 15 at Windsor 5 days ago, so can make his presence felt if everything drops right. 411033	9-3	Takeshi Yokoyama	Ed Dunlop	10/1	4.5/1		55
14	1 Corazon Dual 5f winner who made up into a useful filly at 2yrs. Encouragement both outings this season (not clear run at this course last time) but needs improvement to defy this mark. 1130-05	10-2	Antonio Fresu	George Boughey	14/1	16/1	14
34	2 Tolstoy 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City in July. Has left John Gosden for 70,000 gns since, but there might be more to come. 741-921	9-13	Jason Collett	Stuart Williams	16/1	22/1	38
14	5 Romantic Time Three-time winner at 2 yrs, including in 6f Group 3. Has edged down the weights and has fared better the last twice, so can't be completely dismissed. 604024	9-6	Emma-Jayne Wilson	William Stone	16/1	11/1		31
26	9 Amazonian Dream Scored at Bath in June, then wasn't seen to best effect when only sixth at Windsor last time. Could get involved with a clear run. 794716	9-2	Kieran Shoemark	Rod Millman	25/1	22/1		12
7	10 Twelfth Knight Dual winner who was back to form when a creditable third at Doncaster a week ago. Others look better treated, however. 212103	9-1	Kerrin McEvoy	Archie Watson	25/1	20/1		20
