Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Mountbatten (8/11)
Won by: Kelly Burn (GB) at 9/4
What we said: top-rated on figures (PR73), won by 5 lengths last time out, hot Fanshawe/Prescott yard form, 4-runner field reduces lottery factor, and only 6lb rise is manageable

Our bet: Zigazig Ah (10/3)
Won by: Zigazig Ah (GB) · then Rocsane (IRE), Consultation (GB)
What we said: RP top-rated (PR 86, 11pts clear of the field), damsire Kodiac flag for today's good-to-firm, and a debut second beaten only half a length confirms she already knows her job
Class 6 · 1m2f23y · Good To Firm · 7 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Raise The Stakes (13/8)
Won by: Zafaan (IRE) at 11/4 · then Ibiza Lights (IRE)
What we said: career-best last time at this trip with first-time visor working, acts on good to firm, Racing Post selection, and market favourite at 6/4
Class 5 · 6f3y · Good To Firm · 5 ran
Our bet: Sahana (10/3)
Won by: Always Perfect (IRE) at 3/1 · then Fantasy Obsessor (GB)
What we said: joint-top rated, only 1lb rise after a narrow Kempton return, consistent form on good-to-firm, and Simcock's strong Ascot course stats (17% T@course, a/e 1.07) converge neatly in a small 5-runner field
