Ascot Race 1 - Tote Uk British Ebf 'Confined' Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race) (Rnd)
With little form on offer a market check could prove a helpful guide. RIVER CARD (4) showed plenty of potential first up when 1L second in a 1400m two-year-old event at Deauville (France) three weeks ago. Leading contender. STUDY OF WORDS (5) represents top connections and profiles well on paper being a colt by Frankel from the stakes winner Discursus. Makes appeal. MALTESE CROSS (3) and ECHO OF STARS (1) both rate as interesting newcomers.

First-starter by Sea The Stars out of Valais Girl. Tough to line up. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.

First-starter by Frankel out of Discursus. Should run a bold race.
