Ascot Race 4 - Sodexo Live! Hcp (Gbbplus Race)

AL AZD (7) was runner up last time over course and distance at Royal Ascot when finishing 0.5L behind in the King George V Stakes. That is clearly the best form in this race and he will be hard to oppose. STUDY OF WORDS (9) disappointed tackling a further trip than this racing at Doncaster. Should find this drop in distance to his liking. Interesting handicap runner from this stable. FRENCH DUKE (1) drops in grade after contesting some daunting races for the yard this year. Did win at Meydan in January and cannot be ruled out. FLYING FRONTIER (4) climbs in journey and that should unlock more potential.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 9 at Sandown Park on July 4 over 2000m, 4 len behind Stem with 62.5kg at $7. The start before that 4th of 10 at Redcar on May 25 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Danger Bay with 63kg at $26. Can improve and is worth thought.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Not raced for 48 days. Resuming 3rd in a small field at Newmarket (Rowley) on May 3 over 2000m, 5 len behind Evanesco with 61kg at $2.30. Second run from a spell ran second last in a small field at Doncaster on June 6 over 2900m, 13 len behind Any Which Way carrying 61kg at $2.20. Forgive the last run; worth following up.
