UK Horse Racing Tips: Ascot

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.
Prediction : 1st Emaraaty Ana 2nd Korker 3rd Rage Of Bamby

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.
Prediction : 1st Al Aasy 2nd Israr 3rd Al Qareem

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.
Prediction : 1st Dark Trooper 2nd Commanche Falls 3rd Garrus

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.
Prediction : 1st Quinault 2nd Popmaster 3rd Baradar

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.
Prediction : 1st Nigiri 2nd Breege 3rd Queen Aminatu

An eyecatcher 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.
Prediction : 1st Badri 2nd Intrinsic Bond 3rd Mountain Peak
