Royal Ascot

Queen Mary Stakes (Fillies' Group 2)

Having met trouble it was striking how much ground SENORITA BONITA made up inside the final furlong to collar the reopposing Fast Track at Nottingham and she can take the step up in class in her stride. Victorious has to show she can cope with a drop back to 5f but is still feared most. Karl Burke has won this twice in recent years and has 2 solid contenders in wide-margin Carlisle winner Wild Blossom and York listed scorer Love A Giggle. US raider More Champagne also looked good on debut. 

Queen's Vase (Group 2)

GALIYAN was notably strong at the line when opening his account in a well-run 1½m maiden at Chester in May, which bodes well for further improvement over this still longer trip, so he's fancied to take the rise in class in his stride in what doesn't look the strongest renewal of this Group 2. Limestone has a likeable attitude which is sure to continue to stand him in good stead now that he tackles even better company, while Port of Spain promises to be suited by the further increase in trip. 

Duke Of Cambridge Stakes (Fillies' And Mares' Group 2) (Rnd)

The classy FRIENDLY SOUL was a winner at the highest level as a 3-y-o so looks the one to beat if none the worse for her experience at Haydock (shaped as if retaining all her ability after a long absence). Blue Bolt is another who brings Group 1 form to the table so rates the main threat ahead of Cathedral, who has the ability to run a big race but has the widest stall to overcome. 

Prince Of Wales's Stakes (Group 1)

Races don't come much better than this. Last year's winner OMBUDSMAN is rock solid and the fact he's proven on fast ground tips the vote his way over Arc hero Daryz, who has been most impressive on a couple of return visits to Longchamp this spring. Minnie Hauk, who is closely matched with Daryz on Arc form, had an excuse for a below-par effort behind Almaqam at the Curragh last time and can bounce back to form and also play her part in what promises to be a thriller. 

Royal Hunt Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Str)

The vote goes to SCOVILLE, who created an excellent impression when winning his first 2 starts and could yet get back to that level as he goes handicapping for his leading yard. Heading the list of dangers is Erzindjan, who promises to be suited by the demands of this race, while La Botte looked unlucky not to win at this meeting last year. Others to note include Classic and Jagged Edge.

Kensington Palace Stakes (Fillies' And Mares' Handicap) (Str)

ALOBAYYAH is still unexposed and couldn't have shaped much better granted her disadvantageous track position over C&D last time. She's fancied to reverse form with the pair that finished ahead of her and take this competitive event. Miss Nightfall ran well at this meeting last season and is very interesting with the benefit of a positive draw, whilst top-weight Stateira is also appealing reverting to handicap company after a fine effort in a Group 2 last time.

Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed)

A new-look Windsor Castle designed to strengthen the middle-distance and staying horse divisions. Preference is for CONTROLLA, who ran a remarkable race pitched straight into pattern company when finding only Victorious (leading contender for the Queen Mary earlier on the card) too strong at Naas. Ballydoyle have a strong recent record in this and Sergei Diaghilev rates as a significant threat, while Joseph O'Brien looks to have a strong hand and One Number may prove best of his trio. 

Hamilton

racingtv.com Apprentice Handicap

ROYAL BLAZE has edged just 1 lb above his last winning mark and back up in trip with cheekpieces returned, a bold bid looks on the cards down slightly in grade. Far Ahead isn't one for maximum faith but he's a big player on his Beverley run, with Falcon Nine, who was edged out at Pontefract last week, also well in the mix. 

Scullion Law, Law Firm For Life EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

SEA MIRAGE couldn't live with a pretty useful type at Leicester a month ago but he beat the rest easily enough and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice. Market support for the Karl Burke newcomer Sunset Cove would have to be taken seriously, with Dubai Champion also of some interest.

Follow Us On X At HamiltonParkRC Handicap

A case can be made for most of these but SOLAR ACLAIM is fancied to build on an encouraging Epsom eighth and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Call Margot didn't enjoy the rub of the green when runner-up at the same track last time and is feared most, although C&D scorers Canaria Queen and Tiva also need factoring into this highly competitive sprint. 

Cleanstay At Hampton By Hilton Handicap

A competitive sprint but it's still hard to ignore the claims of STIRRUP CUP, who is proving consistent this season and goes unpenalised for a recent apprentice victory at Carlisle. Course specialist and 2024 victor Iris Dancer should ensure Tim Easterby's 4-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though, while fellow C&D scorers Doon The Glen and Annie Edson Taylor can also play a prominent role.  

Hamilton Park Fillies' Handicap

PORTH EILIAN has more to offer and can follow up her recent C&D success. Bearin Up wasn't seen to best effect at Nottingham and should bounce back and emerge as the main danger.

Scottish Racing Supporting RacingWithPride Handicap

TARMONBARRY KID progressed markedly to get off the mark at Doncaster last month and is fancied to follow up despite a 6 lb higher mark, with Whernside and Spirit Of The Blues heading the opposition.

Hampton By Hilton Hamilton Park Handicap

REGULUS BLACK confirmed the promise of his handicap debut third when running out a pretty convincing winner at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and, appealing as the type to rate higher still, he looks to hold prime claims now his stamina is tested further. Fellow 3-y-o Stepanov rates next best, ahead of recent course scorer Uncle Liam.

Worcester

CopyBet Proudly Backs UK Horse Racing Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

OFF THE JURY has the potential to build on his Cartmel chase debut success and is preferred to Dan Skelton's new recruit Kingston Narcissus. 

CopyBet Pay First Past The Post Handicap Chase

PRAIRIE QUEEN looks a natural over fences and is still on a lowly mark even after her Hereford success so the follow up looks on the cards. Auntie Maggie had no chance with a handicap blot last time and is second choice ahead of Definite Dream. 

CopyBet Daily World Cup Profit Boost Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 1)

A mixed bag for this maiden and GENEALOGY, who has some useful form to his name under both codes, is hard to oppose starting out for Faye Bramley back in this sphere. Sword of Wessex should be all the better for his initial hurdling second at Huntingdon and can chase him home ahead of Babs and Mystic Wind. 

CopyBet Daily World Cup Profit Boost Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 2)

DIVISION DAY arrives here fresh from victory on the Flat at Doncaster and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark in this sphere. James Owen's hurdling newcomer Rogue Impact brings some fair form from the Flat and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Maskarvel. 

James Brewer 21 Years Undefeated Handicap Hurdle

This looks an excellent chance for the promising OUR GUIDE to make a successful start to his handicap career with his rivals having question marks over current form (Minella Rescue) and peak fitness after breaks (Sure Touch and Paddy de Pole). The last-named rival gets the vote for the forecast spot. 

CopyBet BOG Now Royal Ascot Tomorrow Handicap Hurdle

ROYSSE capitalised on a falling mark in smooth style at Bangor last month and looks capable of defying a 7 lb rise in the weights. Arnie Moon has been given time to get over a heavy fall at Exeter and is feared, along with Ez Tiger, who is very capable when fresh. 

CopyBet BOG Now Royal Ascot Friday Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

LATIN was a four-time winner on the Flat this winter and looks primed for an improved showing in this sphere now going handicapping on the back of a patiently-ridden fourth at Ludlow. He gets the vote from recent C&D scorer Crown of India with Bamber and Genbu appealing as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours. 

CopyBet BOG Now Royal Ascot Friday Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

This is wide open so it could pay to side with PERSON OF INTEREST who took a step back in the right direction on his final run for John Joseph Hanlon at Downpatrick last month and could take a sizeable step forward now starting out for Faye Bramley. The progressive Both of Us rates a big threat though with Al Mootamarid and No More Bolero also in the mix.

Ripon

Book Online At ripon-races.co.uk Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

BEAUTY BOX contested 2 decent races in the spring and this looks a good opening for her, particularly with the rail draw. Penny Arcade promises to be suited by the step up to 6f and can provide the main threat unless the betting speaks for one of the newcomers. 

Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

GRASMERE BOY is taken to gain compensation for a couple of near misses last month, most likely at the main expense of Kilfrush Desert.

Lloyd Land Rover Ripon Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Having landed a C&D handicap for the second successive season in May, SOMETHING ran another solid race when runner up at Pontefract 9 days ago, just unable to repel a stablemate who has since won again at York. His style of racing is well served by the demands of this track and he could prove tough to catch if getting his own way in front. Winter Flower promises to be suited by the return to this trip and may emerge as the danger.

Wells Memorial Challenge Trophy Handicap

BEATTIE IS BACK is almost certainly in better heart than his form figures suggest. having little chance from his draw behind Glory Hyde over C&D 2 weeks ago. At the likely prices, he's a sporting bet to reverse the form on these terms. Ripon specialist Mark's Choice should be firmly in the mix, too. 

Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Fillies' Handicap

BAY DREAM BELIEVER, a 3-time C&D winner, arrives on the back of a recent success and remains on a favourable mark, so is taken to enhance her already impressive course record. Krissy, successful in 5 of her last 10 starts, rates the principal danger after a short break, while Eloquencia could step forward now handicapping for the first time in headgear.

We're Back For Ladies' Day Tomorrow Handicap

BRAIN FREEZE showed improved form when scoring from out of the handicap at Redcar and is fancied to go close if reproducing that effort from just a 3 lb higher mark. What A Tahoo arrives in good heart and rates a major threat if coping with the drop to 5f for the first time, while You Mystify Me also commands respect with a first-time visor fitted.

Ffos Las

Trustmark Apprentice Handicap

SO SMART is threatening to come good so gets the nod over the thriving Sonic Si. 

Carmarthenshire Hunt Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

PAST PASSION was beaten only by a useful prospect at Ascot and is hard to oppose in this company. Cavan Lady is next best. 

Blackmore Building Contractors Handicap

RED MOON escapes a penalty for his handicap debut win at Salisbury on Sunday so should take the beating. The drop back to 7f should suit Phantom Shadow so he's next best ahead of handicap debutante Katie's Song. 

RHN Travel Handicap

FACTUAL shaped as if amiss last time but he was a big eyecatcher on his handicap bow at Chester the time before so is worth another chance. Huscal seems to be coming back into form so is feared most back down in class. while Sunny Smile will find this a lot less demanding than Epsom.

QUICK TURN posted a career-best display when runner up at Leicester 4 days ago and he firmly rates the one to beat from the same mark now taking on his elders for the first time. Pay Attention is the danger following his good Newbury second.

Oil 4 Wales Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

ZIATA improved on her previous exploits when fifth on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m) 4 weeks ago and now upped in trip with first-time blinkers reached for, she could well be up to making it fifth time lucky back in maiden company. Poor Relation had excuses at Salisbury recently and is a player provided this doesn't come too soon. Evening Fades also remains with her best days ahead of her.

Josh Perry BPRFC Supporters Player Of The Year Handicap

GRAND PIER made a much better fist of things with his reappearance run behind him without things going ideally when sixth in a stronger contest at Newbury 33 days ago and he can build on that effort here from a career-low mark. Top weight Zooter is an obvious threat, whilst Liveinthelight looks a likely improver with her attentions switched to handicaps.
