Key races and best bets

OMBUDSMAN - 16:00 Ascot (ITV1)

A much-anticipated renewal, with preference for OMBUDSMAN given the excellent impression he made in the Prince of Wales's Stakes this summer. Having had excuses at York since, he can reverse the placings with Calandagan from last year's race, though the French raider is much respected with his strong course record. Bay City Roller completes the shortlist on the back of his admirable second in the Arc.

LEXINGTON BLITZ - 16:45 Catterick

LEXINGTON BLITZ is likely in much better heart than recent form figures might suggest and he's taken to follow up his success in this corresponding event 12 months ago. Baker Blue looks interesting back in a handicap from a handy draw and could be the main threat. Spartan Arrow also appeals off a much-reduced mark, in what looks a wide-open renewal.

WALL STREET - 15:07 Leopardstown

WALL STREET created a good impression on his course debut and can make it 2-2 at the expense of stablemate Albany County. Leadlight may prove best of the remainder.

CARRIED WITH LOVE - 14:20 Limerick

CARRIED WITH LOVE impressed when making a winning start over fences on stable debut last month and she's fancied to double up over hurdles. World Of Fortunes chased home Millstream Lady in this corresponding event 12 months ago and may turn the tables to secure silver for the second successive year.

RIALANNAH - 15:00 Market Rasen

A chance is taken on the fitness of RIALANNAH, who had a few subsequent winners behind her on the second of her 2 Fakenham victories in the spring and could still be on a favourable mark. The hat-trick seeking The Egyptian Ginge rates an obvious danger. Roaring Home is next on the list.

QUEBECOIS - 15:37 Newton Abbot

QUEBECOIS was placed in the Ultima at Cheltenham last season and the smart level of form he showed there should be enough to win this. Recent Uttoxeter winner Country Mile is the main form danger, though he may not be suited by this longer trip, whilst prolific point winner El Capitaine is open to progress under Rules.

THE THIRD STAR - 17:00 Southwell

THE THIRD STAR took her form to another level when forging clear over C&D 6 weeks ago and she looks capable of making it 3 from 3 here. Wid is a clear next best with her form from last time working out well.

ONE KNIGHT - 13:39 Stratford

Useful bumper winner ONE KNIGHT is the one to beat if back on song. Katarcice and Tao Enki both look credible dangers.
