Class 4 · 6f12y · Good To Firm
Our bet: Perfect Nation (11/4)

Class 5 · 1m31y · Good To Firm
Our bet: House Of Medici (5/4)
What we said: Balding/Murphy combination, strong debut third at Kempton over 7f with step to a mile expected to unlock more, clear form pick at the price
Class 3 · 5f21y · Good To Firm
Our bet: Mesaafi (7/2)
What we said: won at Windsor last time out by a neck from stall 2 (favored draw), fast-ground sire, blinkers added for the first time, and trainer at 50% in the last 14 days on a small but striking sample.
Class 5 · 1m3f99y · Good To Firm
Our bet: Astrological (3/1)
What we said: consistent 3yo with win in recent form, all-weather grounding suits a sound surface, and Ghiani/Botti combo posts a standout 19% course strike rate at A/E 1.08
Class 6 · 5f21y · Good To Firm
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Cabeza De Llave (11/2)
What we said: C&D form (2nd over 5f Windsor two starts back), Oisin Murphy booked, trainer's course A/E 1.18, and mid-draw 7 avoids worst stalls
Class 6 · 1m31y · Good To Firm
Our bet: Mertoun (10/11)
What we said: beaten a short-head in this exact C&D two pounds lower last time, strong going sire flags, and Rossa Ryan's Ascot record is a genuine asset
