Ascot Place 6 Preview | 24th July

14.20 Sports4Causes October Club EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes

SPEED OF SOUND made a promising start to her career when a staying-on third at Newmarket’s July Meeting and is strongly fancied to confirm form with the fourth and open her account for her in-form jockey and trainer.

Tips: SPEED OF SOUND

14.55 Flexjet Pat Eddery Stakes (Listed)

ALFRED WALLACE is sure to appreciate the drop in grade following a good fifth in a Group 2 event last time out. He has the experience to draw upon and can go well, but SILVER DOMINION was a place in front of him in that latest contest and should be able to make a serious impact.

Tips: ALFRED WALLACE & SILVER DOMINION

15.30 John Guest Racing Brown Jack Handicap

I like the chances of KIRCHNER, who has improved with each start for James Owen and produced a solid effort in defeat when second in the Northumberland Plate. Off only a 2lb higher mark, with his sights lowered, I think he has a fantastic chance. Best bet of the day.

Tips: KIRCHNER

16.05 Sodexo Live! Handicap

The extremely-consistent AL AZD is fancied to land the spoils. He had a rare blip in the London Gold Cup on his penultimate start but bounced back to form with a good second in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot. Roger Varian’s charge is fancied to go one place better.

Tips: AL AZD

16.40 Chapel Down Handicap

HAVANA BLUE has been winless for a long time but he’s 4lb lower than when last successful and finished a very good second over C&D less than two weeks ago. He’s back up another 3lb but that shouldn’t hardly be enough to stop him from being competitive.

Tips: HAVANA BLUE

17.12 Sodexo Live! Fillies’ Handicap

KILLAVIA is back on better ground and has the form to play a leading role if back to her best, while the hat-trick seeking PARADISE WALK must be given respect. She won nicely at Nottingham when last seen has only been raised 4lb, so she cannot be taken lightly.

Tips: KILLAVIA & PARADISE WALK
