The contenders
Shaman Champion KTB Fit 61/100
Shaman Champion is a fair 3-year-old who has shown consistent placed form but failed to build on it in two starts this season. He ran no better than ninth on his only previous visit to Ascot and steps up in trip today for the first time, which asks a fresh question. Clive Cox has a 10% strike rate from 511 runs here while Jack Nicholls has ridden ten winners from the same number of rides at the track.
Ciarrai Abu KTB Fit 60/100
Fair performer who has won at this trip. He showed solid form when landing a minor event on his reappearance and then ran creditably in a stronger race at this track last time. Trainer and jockey both have above-average strike rates at Ascot.
Starlight Time KTB Fit 59/100
Fair performer who won both starts over this trip as a juvenile before a stiff task when eighth on handicap debut over 1m2f. Drops back to a more suitable distance now with first-time headgear applied and the yard's solid 12 percent strike rate at Ascot offers some encouragement. Lightly raced with only four runs total so the going remains an unknown.
Crest of Fire KTB Fit 57/100
Useful performer who has shown his best form on this track when finishing fourth here last season. He has won over today's trip but his record on good to firm is modest with just one placing from three starts and the trainer's modest 6 percent strike rate at Ascot adds little confidence. Jockey's solid 10 percent record at the track is a plus but overall this looks a stiff task from stall seven.
Loz Vegas KTB Fit 52/100
Loz Vegas is a fair 3-year-old who has shown mixed form this year with a fifth and sixth on his last two starts. He has already won over today's trip but was well beaten on his only previous visit to Ascot. The yard has a 10% strike rate here from 266 runs while jockey Neil Callan is operating at 7% from 298 rides.
