Ascot Race 2 - Jll Children's Charities Nursery
They could finish in race card order with FRONT LINE FURY (1) bidding for a hat-trick after a comfortable 3L success among similar company a week ago over 1200m at Haydock. Looks hard to beat. SAYIDAH HARD SPUN (2) won by 1.75L attempting this journey in a Kempton AW novice event before a 1000m sixth tackling the Listed National Stakes at Sandown during May. Could play a role. Hamilton 1200m maiden winner BETTER AND BETTER (3) was mid-division in the 1000m Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at the Royal meeting here. Improvement expected. PROOF (4) might fill fourth spot.

Most recently got back early in a small field at Haydock Park on July 4 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Cotai Belle carrying 59kg at $8. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Goodwood on June 20 over 1000m, 3 len behind Blue Orbit with 60.5kg at $8. Not an appealing prospect.
