17:00 (Ascot) Bountiful

17:35 (Ascot) Amiloc

18:10 (Ascot) Realign

 

14:30 (Ascot) Gold Digger

Gold Digger created a good impression winning on debut at Yarmouth.

The Richard Spencer-trained filly quickened nicely that day and will be suited by this stiff 6f Albany Stakes journey.

Starman filly Venetian Sun kept on to make a winning debut over 5f at Carlisle. Holds major claims now raised to 6f for a stable holding an excellent record with juveniles.

Aidan O'Brien trains Signora who caught the eye when third in the G3 Blackbeard Fillies Sprint Stakes at Naas (6f) first time out. May take a step forward with that run under her belt.

Impressive last-start Haydock winner Fitzella commands respect with further progress anticipated, while Tahalel might go well at a large price.

 

15:05 (Ascot) Shadow Of Light

The Commonwealth Cup appears tailor-made for the G1 2000 Guineas third Shadow Of Light.

The Charlie Appleby-trained colt won the G1 Middle Park Stakes and G1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket last season and looked as though dropping back in trip would suit on seasonal reappearance.

A main danger could come from Babouche who returned to something near her best winning the G3 Goffs Lacken Stakes at Naas last time representing trainer Ger Lyons.

Jonquil is another set to go well eased in trip on the back of his runner-up effort attempting the G1 1m Poule d'Essai des Poulains at Longchamp.

O'Brien trains the duo Whistlejacket and Ides Of March and both make for each-way appeal.

 

15:40 (Ascot) French Duke

James Doyle would have had the pick of the Wathnan Racing runners so it's worth noting he sided with French Duke who is trained by Roger Varian and finished a good second on soft ground over course and distance when last seen in September.

The four-year-old will appreciate returning to quicker ground and subsequently gelded can defy a 2lb higher mark on reappearance in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes.

Hand Of God won a valuable handicap over 1m2f at this meeting twelve months ago. May take a step forward following a below-par return to action at Newmarket in May.

The Willie Mullins-trained Ethical Diamond provided smart hurdle form recently and cannot be ignored back on the flat with Ryan Moore booked.

Caviar Heights also warrants a second look on stable debut for William Haggas.

 

16:20 (Ascot) Falakeyah

The Owen Burrows-trained Falakeyah created a massive impression landing the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket in May.

There's no doubt the Coronation Stakes will require more however she showed a very smart turn of foot that day and holds potential to be even better dropping back to 1m.

Zarigana finished second in the G1 Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches when being handed the race by stewards at Longchamp last time out.

This talented Francis-Henri Graffard-trained filly could still have more to offer and brings strong form claims. Track is expected to suit.

Supplemented entry Kon Tiki may provide a bold bid to remain unbeaten following her victory in the Listed Sky Bet Fillies Stakes at York, while each-way claims can go the way of Exactly.

 

17:00 (Ascot) Bountiful

George Boughey and Billy Loughnane teamed up to win the Sandringham Stakes twelve months ago and could find themselves winning once more thanks to Bountiful who shaped nicely when fourth in the Listed Spring Cup Stakes at Lingfield on reappearance.

Interesting now up in trip off this opening mark with a first-time tongue-tie fitted.

Tabiti has not raced since finishing fifth in the 1m G1 Fillies Mile at Newmarket last season. Can go well making handicap debut. First-time blinkers applied.

Commanding Nottingham winner Supermodel maintains an unexposed profile and cannot be ignored up 8lb.

 

17:35 (Ascot) Amiloc

Amiloc looked smart making it four from four producing a commanding success in the Listed Cocked Hat Stakes over 1m3f at Goodwood during May.

The Ralph Beckett-trained gelding could relish going up in trip for the King Edward VII Stakes and remain unbeaten.

Puppet Master may prove the biggest danger with more improvement expected on the back of a nose victory in the Listed Lingfield Derby Trial last time out.

Fellow Irish raider Zahrann created a nice impression landing the Listed King George V Cup at Leopardstown and cannot be ignored providing proven form over the distance.

Talented duo Wimbledon Hawkeye and Nightwalker disappointed in the 1m4f G1 Epsom Derby last time. Both are worth keeping onside.

 

18:10 (Ascot) Realign

Realign showed good form in defeat last season before winning on reappearance over 6f at Salisbury last time.

Followed home subsequent dual G1 winner Shadow of Light on his debut at Newmarket last season and could prove too well-treated for his rivals in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Stakes off this opening rating.

Top weight Hammer The Hammer continues to defy the handicapper this season. Might provide a bold bid once more following wide-margin wins at Southwell and Chester.

Redorange won well at Chester last start and also needs to be included, while Stormy Impact and Ruby's Profit are others to note from an each-way perspective.
