Ascot Hospitality Handicap · 6f
Every runner. Every signal. One decision.
All starts on good; beaten under 3l by subsequent Windsor Castle winner on 5f debut last May then finished third to subsequent Chesham winner at Newbury (6f) a fortnight later; latter event worked out extremely well so disappointing he couldn't get the job done at Bath (odds-on) the following month; not seen since but good chance of making a successful handicap debut/reappearance if ready and tapping back into that initial promise.
Went close on handicap debut in September; odds-on but still improved on fifth start to win Lingfield novice (6f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January; didn't back that up when down the field in classy affair over that C&D one month later but return to turf should be no problem.
Gained his 2yo win over 7f on AW but ran respectably over 6f at Ascot (good) most recently, while shaping as if this drop to 5f is worth exploring; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.
Off the mark on second start (5f, good to firm) and ran respectably on handicap debut when beaten 3l at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to soft; not clear run) in August; gelded before sharing second (5f, AW) on reappearance in March and again didn't have the cleanest shot when fourth at Bath one month later; not ruled out.
Won a Chepstow maiden (7f, good to firm) for Jack Channon last July but she's not gone on from that and was beaten 13l on recent stable debut at Ascot (6f, good); drops back in grade off a reduced mark but record is now 1-9 and others are more convincing.
Cheekpieces have helped and he just looked to find Ascot's 6f stretching him in better company last time; whether today's easy 5f is too far the other way is the question.
Lightly raced and unexposed; landed odds at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in March and the runner-up has boosted the form; beat all bar two of his 18 rivals in warm handicap at Ascot (6f, good) two weeks ago, doing his best work late on; should be suited by today's step up in distance; leading contender.
Consistent in four starts, including win at Newcastle (5f) in November and when second to Arry Up at Kempton (6f, also AW; stumbled start) on handicap debut/reappearance one month ago; acts on turf and shouldn't be far away from same mark.
Fine stamp who is unbeaten since contesting handicaps; made all to land his third such race when defying penalty to score at Kempton (6f, AW; Hallo Spaceboy second, Night Mission fifth) one month ago; also won on turf (good to soft, acts on good) and doesn't have to lead; impossible to ignore in current mood.
Small step forward when comfortably winning Wolverhampton novice (6f, AW) on his return three weeks ago; will need more again on this handicap debut but that's by no means unlikely and he ran well on quick turf in October; respected.
All starts on AW; picked up Wolverhampton fillies' novice in January and just held at Southwell (also 6f) on her handicap debut last month; this is tougher and a 2lb nudge demands more; still not ruled out.
More exposed than most but he won third handicap when making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; just held on) four weeks ago; also won twice at 6f on sound turf so these conditions should be no problem, but a 4lb rise might be.
Clear ability when placed all three starts (6f, good/good to soft) at two; gelded and stuck on from the rear when fifth to Arry Up at Kempton (6f, AW) on reappearance/handicap debut one month ago; will need to have come on for the outing but that's not beyond the realms.
Second of 12 at Newbury (6f, only start on good to soft) was much the best of four runs last year; gelded and not disgraced when fourth at Kempton (7f, AW; 25-1) on his reappearance at the start of last month; needs to build on that.
All starts at 5f; no impact in two Listed races after winning Ripon fillies' maiden (good) for Archie Watson last term; sights lowered for this yard but form of three handicap runs on Wolverhampton's AW suggest this extra furlong will need to give her quite the boost.
Just two starts and won latest (6f, AW); firmly in the picture on h'cap/turf debut
Good step forward from debut when runner-up at Ripon, albeit beaten 5l in four-runner event, in September and backed that up when second again at Yarmouth (also 6f, good) the following month; has been gelded and interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this reappearance/handicap debut.
28-1 winner of Ripon maiden (6f, good) in August and built on close reappearance second when beating 12 others in handicap over that C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; evidently likes that track but has form elsewhere and she's not ruled out despite 5lb rise.
Reappearance fifth wasn't a bad effort three weeks ago; needs to build on that
Four starts, one each at 5f, 6f, 7f and 1m; best form by some way when second over this trip at Chelmsford (AW; 40-1) on second go for Anthony Carson, which could be a straw to clutch at, but form in a maiden and handicap for this yard leaves her with work to do.
