UK Horse Racing Tips: Ascot

A close relation of the top-class two-year-old Pinatubo, PANAREA could be set to strike for a stable that can get one ready first time out. The daughter of Lope De Vega is narrowly preferred to Rawaasi, who shaped with plenty of promise when third on her debut at Kempton recently. Fellow debutant Apeeling and Pink Satin can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Panarea 2nd Rawaasi 3rd Pink Satin

KING EAGLE has been a revelation since joining the Nicky Henderson stable and the hat-trick looks like a distinct possibility as he looks to follow up on his most recent success at Newmarket. The step up in trip is another plus and he may have too much for C&D winner Malakahna, who has been runner-up on her last two starts. Pledgeofallegiance could be one to bounce back after a disappointing effort at Haydock earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st King Eagle 2nd Malakahna 3rd Pledgeofallegiance

MOBASHR has been running with plenty of credit since scoring at Doncaster earlier in the month and the booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye as he looks to notch up a fifth career victory. Narrowly denied over C&D last time out, Pearle D'or looks to be his main danger, along with Flying Secret, who arrives in excellent form with two wins from his last three starts. Others to note include Dashing Dick, Global Esteem and Snuggle.
Prediction : 1st Mobashr 2nd Pearle Dor 3rd Flying Secret

Gaassee finished a far from disgraced fourth at Haydock over this distance on his latest outing and must enter calculations if anywhere near that form. However, he does have to shoulder top-weight, so YOUTHFUL KING gets the vote. A comfortable winner over an extended 1m3f at Windsor earlier this month, a 7lb rise may not be enough to hold him back. Oneforthegutter's latest success was arguably the result of a falling handicap mark, but he still warrants respect off 4lb higher in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Youthful King 2nd Gaassee 3rd Oneforthegutter

An open contest in which preference lies with SCINTILLANTE. A game winner over an extended 1m4f at Chester earlier this month, a 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to hold him back, especially as he receives a weight-for-age allowance here. Dashing Panther is rated 12lb lower than the selection but only carries 1lb less, so is likely to be chasing him home, along with last-time-out runner-up Flash Bardot.
Prediction : 1st Scintillante 2nd Dashing Panther 3rd Flash Bardot

Only narrowly denied by Glamorous Breeze at Windsor last time out, WOOLHAMPTON could be the one to beat here. Rod Millman's filly takes on the winner from that contest once again, but she remains open to improvement and is fancied to reverse the form. Holy Fire has been knocking on the door of late and is another to consider on her turf debut.
Prediction : 1st Woolhampton 2nd Glamorous Breeze 3rd Holy Fire
