14:20 – Sports4Causes October Club EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 6f | Class 3 | Going: Straight 8.2, round 6.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a useful little fillies’ novice rather than a penalty kick for the market leader. Sorrengail sets the standard on bare figures after an encouraging fourth and it is no surprise Charlie Appleby’s filly heads the betting, but she is short enough in a race where a couple of winners and one interesting newcomer can improve past her. Ash Tree already knows how to get the job done and did it with a smart enough Topspeed figure, while Speed Of Sound shaped like a filly with plenty more to come when third on debut. Blue Flight also arrives unbeaten, but the form is not quite as compelling. In a field of eight, this feels competitive enough to reward taking a view rather than simply latching onto the obvious favourite.
Top Selections
1. Ash Tree – 7/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Jane Chapple-Hyam | Form: 1 | Rating: 87 | Topspeed: 84
Ash Tree appeals most because she has already shown the right blend of professionalism and pace for a sharp 6f novice, and that debut win was backed up by a solid 87 rating and a notably strong 84 Topspeed figure for this level. That is a serious number in the context of this race and suggests she did more than merely pick off an ordinary maiden. Oisin Murphy is another obvious plus in a race where tactical sharpness matters. At 7/2 with Paddy Power, she looks the value against a favourite who still has to prove she can translate promise into a winning effort. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Speed Of Sound – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Richard Spencer | Form: 3 | Rating: 87 | Topspeed: 49
Speed Of Sound is the each-way angle in a race where the front end of the market may not be bombproof. She was only third on debut, but the official rating of 87 says the run was better than the bare form line, and it marked her down as a filly with useful ability straight away. Richard Spencer can ready one first time and there should be natural improvement to come from that initial outing. In a field of eight with three places on offer, 4/1 with Bet365 makes plenty of each-way appeal, especially as she does not need a huge step forward to get heavily involved and could easily have more upside than some of the exposed types. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ash Tree is the win play at the prices, with her debut success and Topspeed figure giving her the strongest piece of concrete form in the race. Speed Of Sound is the each-way punt in an eight-runner field, as her opening third hinted at plenty more to come. Sorrengail is the obvious danger, while Sweetwonderfulyou is the interesting unknown on debut for Haggas.

14:55 – Flexjet Pat Eddery Stakes (Listed Race)
Race Details: 7f | Class 1 | Going: Straight 8.2, round 6.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper juvenile Listed contest rather than a penalty kick for one of the obvious ones. Silver Dominion and Alfred Wallace bring the strongest ratings into it and both have already shown enough to suggest they belong at this level, while Sonny Parvenue, Gymbaazy and Firehorse are unbeaten and open to a fair bit more improvement stepping into deeper waters. Love Is gets a handy fillies’ allowance and isn’t without interest if the race gets tactical, while Time For The Moon has enough raw ability to bounce back from a lesser effort. The shape of it suggests pace won’t be an issue, and over Ascot’s stiff 7f I’d want a colt who can settle and finish. That makes it a good race, but not an easy one.
Top Selections
1. Silver Dominion – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Hector Crouch | Trainer: Oliver Cole | Form: 14 | Rating: 106 | Topspeed: 94
He sets the standard on the figures and, crucially, did it in races that already read well enough for this company. That 106 rating is the best in the field and the 94 Topspeed says the effort wasn’t just cosmetic. The bare form of his latest fourth might not scream “back me”, but in a race like this I’m far more interested in the substance of what he has achieved than in a neat-looking finishing position. Ascot’s 7f asks a serious question of a two-year-old and Silver Dominion looks the sort who will answer it. At 7/2 he makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking a standout certainty. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Love Is – 14/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Finley Marsh | Trainer: Richard Hughes | Form: 120 | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 90
The market may have overlooked her a touch. She gets in here carrying 126, which matters against the colts, and her 97 rating puts her much closer to the principals than the 14/1 price implies. That latest duck egg needs forgiving, but her earlier form was solid and the 90 Topspeed suggests she has the engine for a race of this nature. Richard Hughes knows the type needed for Ascot juveniles and if Finley Marsh can get her switched off early, she has the profile of one who can stay on into the frame late. She’s the each-way value in a race where several at shorter prices still have something to prove. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Silver Dominion is the win play because he brings the strongest established form and the best numbers into the race. For an each-way alternative, Love Is looks overpriced with the fillies’ allowance and enough ability already shown to trouble the principals. The obvious dangers are Alfred Wallace, who is solid at this level, and the unexposed Gymbaazy and Sonny Parvenue if they take a big step forward.

15:30 – John Guest Racing Brown Jack Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 7f | Class 3 | Going: Straight 8.2, round 6.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This is only a four-runner handicap, but it is not lacking in quality for the grade and there looks a fair bit of depth to the form. Kirchner sets the standard on figures and arrives after a solid second, while Fireblade has been knocking on the door and brings the best Topspeed number into the race. Synergism is the interesting one, though, with Sir Mark Prescott’s lightly raced 4yo still open to improvement now stepping up again in trip, and that yard is rarely guessing with these staying handicappers. Ghaiyya has ability but comes here needing to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts. In a small field where tactical pace could matter, this feels more about who still has a bit in hand than bare handicap marks, and that makes it a proper thinking race rather than a penalty kick.
Top Selections
1. Synergism – 5/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: James Doyle | Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt | Form: 253-13 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 64
Synergism is the one I want to be with because he still looks the least exposed runner in the field and this sort of progressive middle-distance profile is pure Prescott territory. He won on his return before shaping perfectly well in third last time, and there is every chance that this move up to 1m7f brings out a bit more. James Doyle is an eye-catching booking in a race that could turn tactical, and a mark of 104 may not have him pinned down just yet. Available at 5/2, he makes more appeal than simply siding with the obvious market leader, especially if stamina becomes the decisive factor late on. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
In a four-runner race, this is straightforward: keep it to a win bet on Synergism. The small-field nature means there is no each-way angle worth entertaining. Kirchner is the clear danger on recent form and Fireblade is solid enough if the race becomes more of a speed test, but Synergism is the one with the most scope to improve past his mark.

16:05 – Sodexo Live! Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 2 | Going: Straight 8.2, round 6.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This is a compact but fairly tasty Class 2 handicap, with the 3yos receiving lumps of weight from older rivals and that could prove decisive over this 1m3f. Al Azd heads the market and understandably so after a solid second last time, while Study Of Words is another unexposed 3yo with a feather weight and obvious upside for a yard that targets races like this. Theory Of Tides brings a useful Topspeed figure and arrives on the back of a good comeback effort, whereas Merveilleux Lapin looks the type to run his race again without necessarily finding loads in hand. The older brigade, headed by French Duke and Fantasy Believer, have bits and pieces of form but also a few questions. It is not a impossible puzzle, but it is a race where the younger legs make most appeal.
Top Selections
1. Al Azd – 11/10 with Bet365
Jockey: Ray Dawson | Trainer: Roger Varian | Form: 221162 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 93
Al Azd is short enough, but he is also the one with the clearest progression angle. He has done little wrong in six starts, winning twice and posting another good effort when runner-up most recently, and a mark of 102 may not have him cornered just yet. As a 3yo carrying only 131, he gets a handy pull from most of these exposed older handicappers and that matters plenty in a race of this nature. Varian’s improving middle-distance types are usually worth respecting at Ascot, and this trip on quick ground looks right in his lane. At 11/10 he is no giveaway, but he is still the likeliest winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Theory Of Tides – 17/2 with William Hill
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Jamie Osborne | Form: 0/42-2 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 98
If you want something at a more workable price, Theory Of Tides makes plenty of appeal as the each-way play. He returned from a break with a strong second and that run suggested he is ready to strike, especially as it came with a Topspeed figure of 98, the best in this field. He is not obviously ahead of the assessor off 104, but he does look solid in conditions that should suit and Jamie Osborne’s runners can be dangerous in these tactical handicaps when they get rolling. Drawn widest in nine is not ideal, though over this trip it is hardly fatal, and 17/2 looks fair for a horse arriving in proper nick. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Al Azd is the straightforward win play: progressive, well treated for his age and carrying less weight than the principal older rivals. For an each-way punt, Theory Of Tides looks the value at the prices given his comeback second and strong Topspeed figure. Study Of Words is the obvious danger with just 124 on his back, while Merveilleux Lapin also has the profile to nick a place.

16:40 – Chapel Down Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: Straight 8.2, round 6.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper Ascot handicap rather than a giveaway, with a mix of exposed older sprinters and a few lightly-raced 3yos trying to use their weight-for-age edge. Mr Writer is the obvious focal point after winning again last time and James Fanshawe’s colt still looks on the up, but he is no secret and has to prove he can keep progressing now pitched into a deeper race. Havana Blue arrives in solid nick and ought to be thereabouts again, while Be Frank is dangerously well treated if building on his return. At a bigger price, King Of War and Tex have the sort of profiles that can sneak into the frame. Tricky enough, then, but not impossible if you trust the progressive younger legs.
Top Selections
1. Mr Writer – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Muscutt | Trainer: James Fanshawe | Form: -42151 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 78
He makes plenty of appeal. The recent form figures tell the story of a 3yo learning on the job and getting better with racing, and that latest win suggested there is still more to come from an opening mark in the low 80s. A Topspeed of 78 stacks up well in this field, and carrying 137 in a race where several older rivals are more exposed is a definite plus. Fanshawe is not one to overface them for the sake of it, so this move into an Ascot handicap catches the eye in a good way. Around 11/4 is short enough in a 13-runner race, but he is still the likeliest winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. King Of War – 16/1 with Betfair
Jockey: J F Egan | Trainer: Michael Wigham | Form: 4-3153 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 62
He looks overpriced if you are playing the each-way angle. This 7yo is not bombproof, but his recent form is respectable enough for a race of this nature and he has been shaping as though another good handicap is within reach. The mark of 83 is workable, he gets in here with just 130, and that sort of racing weight can matter late on over a stiff Ascot 7f. He is the type Michael Wigham often places shrewdly, and while he may lack the upside of the principals, he does not need much to fall right to hit the first four. At 16/1, he makes plenty more appeal than some shorter, flashier rivals. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Mr Writer is the win play because he is the one progressive horse in the line-up and still looks ahead of his mark. King Of War is the each-way punt at 16/1, with four places on offer making him a sensible value play. Havana Blue is the obvious danger after his recent second, while Be Frank is another to respect if sharper for his comeback run.

17:12 – Sodexo Live! Fillies’ Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: Straight 8.2, round 6.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper sharp 5f handicap rather than a penalty kick, with several progressive 3yos taking on battle-hardened older fillies. Paradise Walk arrives on the up after back-to-back wins and is the obvious one to focus on, but she is moving into a deeper race now and won’t get this handed to her. Killavia also makes plenty of appeal on the figures and has the services of Oisin Murphy, while Lady Roxby and Dandy Magic are established sprint handicappers who can make this uncomfortable for the younger legs. Carefree Dream is lurking on a handy weight if this turns tactical. It’s a competitive little contest and not one to treat lightly, but there is still a solid form horse at the head of the market.
Top Selections
1. Paradise Walk – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Hector Crouch | Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Form: 2-2411 | Rating: 88 | Topspeed: 79
Paradise Walk is hard to get away from. She has done little wrong this season, the form string reads like that of a filly still going the right way, and that mark of 88 doesn’t look beyond her just yet. Two wins on the bounce suggest she has learned how to get the job done, and Beckett’s improving 3yos are never easy to oppose in races of this nature. Hector Crouch knows her well enough and a topspeed of 79 puts her right in the mix on the clock too. At 11/4, she isn’t a giveaway, but she still looks the most likely winner.
Bet: WIN
2. Carefree Dream – 10/1 with Betfair
Jockey: J F Egan | Trainer: J S Moore | Form: -05224 | Rating: 85 | Topspeed: 72
For an each-way play, Carefree Dream makes a fair bit of sense at double-figure odds. She hasn’t won for a while, but her recent sequence says she is holding her form well enough and she gets in here with just 124 to carry, which is no bad thing in a fast 5f at Ascot. The 3yo allowance helps, and unlike a few in here, she doesn’t have to improve dramatically to hit the frame. Her rating of 85 leaves her with something to prove against the principals, but she has been knocking on the door and this looks the sort of race where a solid, uncomplicated filly can nick a place.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Paradise Walk is the win bet because she’s the one bringing genuine upward momentum into the race. For a bit of value, Carefree Dream appeals as the each-way punt at 10/1 with three places on offer. Killavia is the obvious danger if Murphy can get her rolling, while Dandy Magic is another who could easily outrun her price.
