Ascot Adventure¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| D

9/4

Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but his latest third of 16 in a 6f York Class 4 handicap suggests he might be ready to strike for his new yard. Gets the vote in this slightly lower grade.

Lilikoi²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: T D Barron| OR: 70| C| D

11/2

Course winner. 15/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago, driven out. That was a competitive race so a 3 lb nudge looks fair. Bold show likely.

Form: 244341

Forecasts

Ascot Adventure (9/4), Judgment Call (4/1), Yaaser (9/2), Lilikoi (11/2), Gone (13/2), Vindobala (9/1), Gunnerside (14/1)

This is the first time ASCOT ADVENTURE has ever been eligible for a Class 5 handicap and he's selected to take advantage of the drop in grade. Last-time-out Thirsk scorer Lilikoi is feared most ahead of Gone, who has been freshened up since her busy spell in June.
