MOTAWAHIJ 2.30 Ascot 12/1 - The Chesham Stakes is always a tricky contest to break down with many of these two-year olds having only had one or two starts. There are a number of in-form yards running horses in this opener with George Boughey’s Pentle Boy and Karl Burke’s Motawahij amongst those to consider. The latter was only beaten by two lengths in a decent-ish class four novice event at Hamilton earlier in the month and should be sharper for that run.

HAATEM 4.25 Ascot 11/4 - Richard Hannon’s Haatem looks like the obvious starting point for this year’s Jersey Stakes. This horse put in a superb performance in the Irish 2,000 Guineas finishing narrowly behind Rosallion and although it’s now just one win in the last five, this one has been going close on numerous occasions.

CAMBRIDGE 5.40 Ascot 10/1 - Cambridge is carrying top weight in this contest and probably deserves to be top of the pile here. Aidan O’Brien’s runner is only five runs into its career and has seemingly improved with each outing. He was only fourth in the Group 2 Dante at York last time out and over a slightly shorter distance, this one may just manage to get home.

FASOL 6.15 Ascot 20/1 - None of the favourites are particularly convincing in this contest, although Dawn Rising is down to a fairly workable mark. Of the bigger prices, Paul Nicholl’s runner Fasol is an intriguing contender. This runner has been hurdling recently, but it does have form on the flat too. It has run strongly in group races and listed contests in France and should be able to make itself competitive. With its hurdling ability, the distance shouldn’t be an issue.
