The contenders
Room Service KTB Fit 72/100
Smart performer who has won over today's trip but has been out of form for some time with a string of modest efforts. First run at Ascot and first time in headgear add unknowns while he is only placed once in three runs on good to firm. Trainer and jockey both have solid records at the track.
The Wizard Of Eye KTB Fit 68/100
Useful performer who has won twice at this track from five runs and also landed a race over today's trip. He has been competitive on good to firm but is yet to win on it. The yard's solid record here is a plus while the jockey's strike rate is more modest.
Fondo Blanco KTB Fit 66/100
Useful performer who has shown his best form at this track, finishing second here on his penultimate start. He has been competitive on good to firm ground and is proven at today's 7f trip, though he steps back from 1m on his return from a break. Trainer and jockey both hold solid records at Ascot.
Golden Mind KTB Fit 64/100
Useful performer who has run seven times at Ascot without winning but has finished fourth twice. He has shown fair form on good to firm ground and stays this trip well enough. The yard have a strong recent record here while the jockey is still seeking his first Ascot winner from 32 rides.
The Fingal Raven KTB Fit 64/100
Useful performer who has won over today's 7f trip but arrives in modest recent form after two defeats over a mile. First-time headgear is now tried and the yard and jockey both hold solid records at Ascot. Only one run here previously finished a remote last of 23 so the draw in stall 12 adds another question.
