Race 15 -- Brittania Stakes -- £120000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 1m -- 0-100 -- Open -- 3YO -- Good

Red Element - Solid, versatile type who has been performing well running into midfield. Maiden run was the best performance and running to that form would give this one a good chance.
Tatua F - Highly tried in group level without success as of yet, probably harmed the handicap mark due to this and may struggle.
Lady Cat - Like Tatua F has been campaigning at a much higher level and is probably also more suited to further.
Gold Chart - Unexposed type who ran a good race when 7th in this class but got outpaced so probably needs further and needs to improve on that run too.
Bullseye - Has run some great races over 7f in 0-90 company but last run in this class over this distance exposed him.
Open It - His 4th in the Royal Mile entitles him to be among the favourites for this race but faultered in a higher class since, return to 8 and 0-100 should prove fruitful.
Phillipstown Shadi - seriously impressive when mowing them down to win over the distance in 0-85 class. Could still be well handicapped.
Kizzire - Done well last time out when 3rd in 0-85 company and also 6th in 0-100 company. Chance of running into the top 5 but no better.
Verbal Diary - Ran a good race when staying on into 3rd at Chester, disappointed since when outpaced over 7 but the step up to a mile could change it's luck.
Witless - Ran consistently but struggled to improve when going down the classes. Low mark but needs a lot of improvement.
Johnny Kilawee - Been running over much further so hard to assess chances but the step down to a mile could change his fortunes.
Setsucon - Very low weight but yet to break the top 15 in any race and could struggle again.
Satulagi Jacob - 9th in 0-85 class last time out and not done much before that, probably needs a bit more improvement.

An interesting affair but I think there are plenty that could be ruled out. It's time the old guard showed the new kids how to do things around here and veteran trainer Vinny Gerrard, a former G1 winner could have a well handicapped horse in VERBAL DIARY. The horse has been crying out for a mile trip and is very well handicapped. Open It, Phillipstown Shadi and Kizzire are also all unexposed and ready to run a big race.

1st - Verbal Diary
2nd - Open It
3rd - Kizzire

Race 16 -- Tercentenary Stakes -- £80000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 1m2f -- Group 3 -- Open -- 3YO -- Good

Blue Flamingo - Ran a solid race to pick up a win in 0-90 company and the 4th at Epsom was good too but her run in the Musidora shows maybe more improvement needed at group level.
Brian Love - Hard to assess with 2 poor runs but both at a high level, may need to aim sights lower before hitting the front.
Captain Scarlett - Consistent type with good maiden form but I think he may be just a step below this level.
Claude Carter - Hoping to get off to a good start but a baptism of fire in what looks a tough race.
Doctor Excite - Didn't show much at all at handicap level before throwing in a shock 3rd in France at G1 level, that entitles her to win here but I'm worried about the previous form.
Dream Away - Been running at a high level so hard to assess but think he'll need to show a lot better here.
Epsom Lad - Newcomer for James Shea, best watched at this level.
Grayling - Same as above, newcomer with point to prove at this level.
Holy Roller - He has been rolling through the opposition in big races around the world but yet to get his head in front. Certainly good enough for this level and can win.
Hush Sexy Sista - Another watching brief for a newcomer chucked in at the deep end.
Lockport Swindle - Been running big races in solid company and his 4th in the Prix Du Jockey Club is one of the best pieces of form in the race and should go close.
Master X Fisher - Another newcomer for a new trainer, watching brief.
Mo Green - Trainer has Tax Stex running to this sort of level at the same distance so worth keeping an eye out for this maiden.
Opening Soon - Ran a big race in the Pretty Polly and 6th in the Diane is good form too, has every right to be in the top 5.
Red Brick Lane - Superbly consistent with a 3rd and a 4th at G1 level and will be right in the mix for this one.
Warning Shot - Won the Makfi Stakes handicap before following up with the Diomed, great form but unproven over 10f.
Wonder Escopeta - Won his maiden but 3rd in Kentucky Derby and 2nd in the Jockey Club, will be running close to getting G3 compensation here.

It's a wide open race with about 5 or 6 having great chances of winning. Leading trainer James Harrison will be hopeing WONDER ESCOPETA can win this before going on to better things. Red Brick Lane has never been far away from him with Holy Roller, Lockport Swindle and Opening Soon also bang there while if Warning Shot stays he'll have a great chance.

1st - Wonder Escopeta
2nd - Red Brick Lane
3rd - Warning Shot

Race 17 -- King George V Handicap -- £75000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 1m4f -- 0-100 -- Open -- 3+ -- Good

The Bodyguard - Down the field on first run in a listed race and will need to slide down the handicap before winning.
Space Racer - Ran a very big race in this class when 2nd in the Qipco Handicap, tough weight but every chance.
Dashing Kenyan - Thundering home in a 0-90 over the distance last time out but been punished at the weights for that performance.
Saracen - Struggled to find any opportunities at handicap level and yet to finish in the top 10. First handicap run though and dropping down in class markedly.
Namaste - Put in a quickfire double in 0-85 class but a step up to 0-110 didn't work when well beaten, may need to slide back down the handicap again before winning.
When Need Be - Unfortunate to be DQ'd when winning at this level in week 4. Ran a solid 3rd in 0-90 company last time and should run a massive race.
Robin Hood - Could only muster a 7th over the distance in the same class and not showing anything to suggest a win here.
Dogend Dolly - Improved no end after 2 poor maiden runs when 3rd in the Qipco Handicap and then 4th next time, very well handicapped and big chance.
Indian Stream - Been running very well at 0-90 level around different distances but probably need further than this it seems.
Wilson - 3rd at 0-90 level and 6th at 0-100 level, disappointed latest but every chance.
Two Shot Annie - Yet to break the top 10 at any level and may struggle to keep up with some of these.
Super Dingo - Very good 4th at this distance and level after a 3rd in a lower level, poor last time out and needs to improve on that.
Come On Jazz - Been running excellent races at 0-90 level with a 1st and 2nd, this is certainly his level and could run a very good race.
St Kitts and Nevis - Yet to post a top 10 finish this season. Lots to make up with some of these.
Zafonic Star - Great 3rd over the distance in a 0-80 but stepping up a step too far I reckon here.
High Miss - Won a 0-80 over the course and distance but struggled elsewhere, still on a very good mark though.

Plenty of chances here in this wide, wide open race. COME ON JAZZ has been the most consistent of the lot and the USA could be taking another prize home with them courtesy of Mike Tartaglia. Dogend Dolly, When Need Be and Namaste could run big races while Saracen and Space Racer are unexposed.

1st - Come On Jazz
2nd - When Need Be
3rd - Dogend Dolly

Race 18 -- Albany Stakes -- £70000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 6f -- Group 3 -- Fillies -- 2YO -- Good

Black Princess - Newcomer chucked in at the deepend who might struggle against some good types.
Devils Caviar - Finally lived up to maiden form when winning at 0-90 level, not one to discount but needs to improve.
Electifying Zing - A good 2nd in the maiden but yet to get head infront and doesn't seem to be improving.
Flying Irish - Must be a reason as to why Stephen Rann is continuing with this horse that is running below par for the stable, could be one to watch.
Inflexible Girl - Newcomer for a stable that mainly produces quality jumpers, worth watching for the first run.
Jet Star Coronation - Maiden didn't go well but thoroughly improved when 2nd in a listed race over a furlong further than this. Could run well if quick enough.
Rainbow Daisy - Done pretty well in 0-100 handicaps but yet to prove himself in group company so best waited with.
Sardinista - Finally showed some good form when runner up in a handicap last time out but still got a lot to prive at this level.
Spaceshipstar - Ran a great race in week 1 when runner up in a maiden and finally got to that level again when 3rd last time out, could run a big race.
Stars At Night - Newcomer who is probably best washed at this level.
Traceys First - Another newcomer best watched when entering a group race first up.
Victory Speech - Starting to improve with 2 top 6's at 0-100 level recently, good chance of running well.

Not the best G3 by a long shot and could be anyone's race, JETSTAR CORONATION is the highest rated by a fair way and should win if having the speed for 6f. Spaceshipstar, Flying Irish and Electifying Zing could run well with Devils Caviar and Victory Speech also having chances.

1st - Jetstar Coronation
2nd - Spaceshipstar
3rd - Electifying Zing

Race 21 -- King Edward VII Stakes -- £160000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 1m4f -- Group 2 -- Colts -- 3YO -- Good To Firm

Better Late Than Never - Newcomer who is going to need to be sport on to run well in this race.
Blue Morpho - Another newcomer who will need to be extremely good to win first time out.
Carlow - Not done badly at all with some good performances in handicap's culminating in a 5th in the Epsom Derby, chance.
Chipmunk - Stephen Rann is fond of this one and finally got a win on the board when comfortably taking the Esher Stakes over 14f. Chance but got to be at his best.
Golborne - Trainer wouldn't be sending him in at the deepend without a chance.
In Bloom - Been running good races and was solid when 2nd last time out over 14f, not sure if he's got the pace for 12f.
Sagesco - Won the big one the Epsom Derby when holding off Chicago Don. Got to give away an allowance now but good enough to do so.
Singspiel Star - Cleaned up in 3 handicaps over the distance before running a creditable 4th in the Epsom Derby.
Warthog - 5th in a maiden over 13f when running on so unsure if the trip will suit but have to respect the trainer.

It's an interesting affair but SAGESCO is going to take a lot of beating being the Derby winner but does have to give weight away and if anything will take adavantage of that it will be Chipmunk or Singspiel Star.

1st - Sagesco
2nd - Chipmunk
3rd - Singspiel Star

Getting rid of the silk colours now as adding on 10 mins per preview lol!

Race 22 -- Coronation Stakes -- £380000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 1m -- Group 1 -- Fillies -- 3YO -- Good To Firm

Alders End - Best run came when 6th in a 0-100 over the mile trip, needs a fair bit of improvement to go close.
Atlantic Jewell - Ran a huge race when 3rd in the 1000 Guineas but struggled when taking the trip over the Irish Sea.
Black Sea - 4th in both Guineas showing good consistency and then ran a big race in the Diomed, has every chance.
Buurmansgek - Ran a monster race to win the Irish 1000 before faultering big time in the French Oaks but should run a big race back over the mile trip.
Depend On Me - 6th in the English 1000 and 3rd in the Irish 1000, certainly got a chance for the top 3.
Devious Diva - Another horse running monster races, 2nd in the Preakness before a 4th in the French Oaks although a Mile seems a bit on the short side.
Fix W - Been running down the field in group 1 company but could still be a useful horse.
Fruli Venezia Giulia - Ran a big race in the Oaks and the 3yo trophy but a mile seems way too short.
Incantation - Won the 1000 Guineas but struggled to get close in the Irish version. If she runs back to her previous form she'll go very close.
Simply Kind - Looked to be up there with the best but not ran up to form in last 2 races, should go close still though.
Tiggy Wiggy - Consistent but behind may of these on Guineas runnings. Probably needs to drop a grade or 2.
Upwards - Ran a monster race when 2nd in Irish Guineas but that was a bit of a shock in comparison to her other form and likely to struggle on that form.

Many form lines tied in here and this is certainly a true group 1. I think if you remove the performance of the Irish Guineas which seems to rip the form book up then INCANTATION will take a lot of beating. She'll be closely followed by Simply Kind, Depend On Me, Devious Diva, Black Sea and Atlantic Jewell.

1st - Incantation
2nd - Black Sea
3rd - Simply Kind

Race 23 -- Wolferton Handicap -- £60000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 1m2f -- 0-100 -- Open -- 4+ -- Good To Firm

Bird Laraissa Li - First run in a handicap after some good performances at group level, the Diomed was the best run but faltered in the Musidora at this distance.
Strawberry Fields - 6th in a maiden before disappointing in the Dubai World Cup, could be very unexposed despite high weight.
Magic Marker - Been running midfield in good group races, needs to keep that level of form up and could go close.
Gunsynd - Expected to be one of the best backed horses at the festival, he ran away with the Zetland Gold Cup and continuing to improve back at 10f, big chance.
Keep Doors Clear - Ran a big race when 3rd in 0-110 company at Epsom but couldn't get close in the Suffolk, unexposed and off a good mark if running to Epsom form.
Noverre Down - Off a very high weight considering the form and will need to drop a fair few pounds before winning.
Nitro Mabel W - 4th in the Zetland Gold Cup won by Gunsynd and certainly showed some improvement although will need more to get close to the former.
Fire Escape - Closest when 8th in the Suffolk but not done much apart from that and needs to drop down in class.
Jacob Kumta - Struggled in good handicap races and probably needs to drop down in class a few more times.
Somalia - Ran a big race at Epsom and showed some more improvement last time out, would be there with a squeak.
Aoi Bungaku - Did well when upped in trip to 11f but not done much apart from that.

An interesting race with plenty of unexposed types with chances. Down the bottom Somalia could be very well handicapped and has a chance and Strawberry Fields and Magic Marker could be underestimated but we've got to go with the big gamble GUNSYND for powerful trainer John Scatters who could follow up with a win here.

1 - Gunsynd
2 - Somalia
3 - Keep Doors Clear

Race 24 -- Queens Vase -- £80000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 2m -- Group 3 -- Open -- 3YO -- Good To Firm

Bath Bullet - Ran consistently in behind the front few in handicaps and looking like a decent chance if transferring that to listed level.
Belle Grovesnor - Certainly one of the leading chances on Maiden form especially when winning last time out, it's good form and this one won't be far away.
Chandler Bing - Ultra consistent despite not getting head infront yet. Solid 2nd in the Esher stakes behind a good horse and can continue to improve.
Django - Been running OK at a varied range of distances but this is way too far.
Elusive - Top trainer James Harrison is very bullish about the chances of this one despite being a maiden and I wouldn't be surprised if it won.
Scorpion - Running consistently well at a good handicap level but the distance and class is probably too far for her.
Sir Mangham T - A very good 2nd in 0-90 company enhances the chances of this one but needs to do a fair bit of improving.
Sonic Highway - Experienced trainer sending him into a tough race first time out, could run well but going to have to be special to win.
Starpe - Won his maiden very well but got decimated in a handicap last time out, if returning to maiden form would have every chance.
Superior Grey - Won a decent handicap on 2nd outing but only 6th at 0-100 level and may need a drop down in class.
Woody Shuffle - Won a decent handicap over a furlong shorter but yet to race over 2 miles, could run well.

A tough race but a few stick their heads above the others, it's hard not to be interested in Elusive with the trainer being so bullish but with no form to go on it's tough to offer up as a selection. Chandler Bing has been very consistent and Starpe if returning to maiden form will be good but BELLE GROVESNOR has shown enough in 2 runs that he is good enough to win at this level.

1st - Belle Grovesnor
2nd - Chandler Bing
3rd - Elusive

That's enough for me tonight, will try and do the remaining 8 tomorrow morning!

Brilliant stuff Nick very enjoyable read.

Gunsynd has now been drugged and will be beaten!

Brilliant fails to describe just how much of a stellar job you have done, Nick.
We are not worthy!

great reads mate thoroughly enjoyed that many thanks

Fantastic stuff. Really enjoyed the previews. Looking forward to the next 8.

Race 25 -- Buckingham Palace Stakes -- £75000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 7f -- 0-110 -- Open -- 3+ -- Good

Cragside - Impressive 3rd in the Victoria Cup, struggled going back up in class. Could have a chance here but carrying a lot of weight.
All Seeing Eye - Won a listed race over the trip which is one of the best pieces of form in the race, could be too high in the handicap though.
Music Maker - Consistent early season form over the mile with solid runs at group level. I don't think the drop in trip will suit but he's well handicapped.
Spittlemarkt - Another very consistent type with plenty of good form in listed races or above, the trip is right and sure to run a big race.
Red Django - Been running in the highest class but yet to make an impression. Probably needs to come down the handicap a bit more.
Adforton - Ran 2 very good races in G3 company and no reason as to why she can't go close.
Virakip - Been running down the field in listed company and been waiting for this sort of company but a lot of tough opposition.
Dretti Li - Won maiden well and 4th in listed race is good form, dissapointed latest in G2 but the step back to 7 will suit and surely has to have a chance.
Gay Ruffian - Been very consistent over 6f at a good standard but whether the 7f will suit is uncertain.
Musnad Sarah - Well fancied last time out after a solid 2nd in the Victoria Cup, well fancied once again and should have a chance.
Royal Mint - Down the field in group company over 6f and struggled over 1m too. May need to slide down the weights.
Honour Des Obeaux - Been running over further and wasn't disgraced when 9th in the Suffolk, the trip won't suit though.
Sister Of Banbury - Won a good handicap over 6f in 0-100 class before following that up with a 2nd, good chance if carrying that form over but winning mark may have been used up.
Verbal My - Down the field in 6f races so far and the step up to 7f may suit but still needs to improve.
Naharra - Good 2nd over 5f but ran a shocker over 7f latest, doesn't look like the trip will suit.
Wild Win - Like Naharra has showed best form over 5f, the step up to 7f looks like it won't suit.
Bird Edas - Best form when 6th at Chester in 0-90 company, needs to rapidly improve to have a chance here.
Neil Harvey - Another running respectfully over 5f and yet to tackle the step up in trip. Doubtful that the 7f will suit.
Morpeth Sennybridge - Best form did come over the trip but was down in 9th in 0-90 company, needs a huge step up.
Duar Mapel - Struggled in it's 3 races so far over 5 and 6 furlongs, another that may struggle with the trip up.

Certainly a tricky puzzle to solve with plenty up towards the top of the weights improving and potentially well handicapped. A tentative vote goes to DRETTI LI LI, the maiden form is solid and done well in listed company too, 102 is a decent mark and can run a big race. Adforton, Spittlemarkt and Musnad Sarah will go close.

1st - Dretti Li Li
2nd - Spittlemarkt
3rd - Adforton
4th - Musnad Sarah

Race 26 -- Chesham Stakes -- £60000 -- Ascot -- Flat -- 7f -- Listed -- Open -- 2YO -- Good

Battering Ram - Newcomer for prominent dual purpose trainer, best watched on debut.
Belgian Empress - Ran a good 4th in listed race over the trip when staying on, that'll certainly help and could be a contender.
Beyond Silkcut - Ran some reasonable races over a multitude of distances but can't see it winning at this level.
Black Magic Woman - Stayed on well over the mile trip and disappointed last time back at this trip and think it'll need further.
Capoue - Interesting newcomer for Paul Rhodes and these are always worth keeping an eye on.
Classical - Another newcomer well worth keeping an eye out on for the top trainer James Harrison.
Danewin - Could only manage 7th on debut over 6f but was staying on well late, the trip will suit and could be a wildcard for this.
Double Suvretta - First horse sent out by new trainer Simon Bradley and a watching brief to see how it gets on.
Heartbeat - His 3rd in a maiden over the trip is one of the best pieces of form in the race but been inconsistent, certainly has a chance.
Lightshift - Newcomer for Adam Mitchell, better on softer ground so worth waiting with this one.
Living Shahmy - Darren Howells newcomer, unsure on how good this one could be so worth watching.
Mistress Misty - Another newcomer of many in this race and another watching brief.
Open Up - Outpaced over 6f recently and will suit the trip up, claims on maiden form.
Phardante - Sorry guys but I'm fed up of making stuff up for newcomers haha!
Portugal - Newcomer
Princess Cress - Newcomer
Sams First - Newcomer
Say It With Flowers - Newcomer
Shrimper Steve - 5th in a maiden handicap over the trip is best form but plenty more to do.
Spartan - Newcomer
The Drone Train - Outpaced in maidens over 7f and certainly suited the trip up to a mile last time out. Will struggle with speed.
Trickster - Newcomer

A very tough race to pick apart with so many newcomers, what's with all the newcomers!!!! Of those with form I think Belgian Empress could run a big race and so could Heartbeat but DANEWIN is unexposed and was staying on well over 6f, John Scatters may have a useful one here held back for the 7f trip and could be the best of those with form. Capoue and Classical will be the newcomers to watch out for.

1st - Danewin
2nd - Classical
3rd - Belgian Empress
