Timeform assess the pace angles at Ascot this afternoon...
Race: 15:00 Ascot - 2m Handicap Hurdle
Pace Forecast: Contested.
Specific Pace Hint: The presence in the field of other prominent-racers is probably a negative for the prospects of Zamoyski: With no shortage of likely pace-forcers, Raven's Tower may have a running style that suits.
Individual Price Hint: Mandy's Boy traded at 10% or less of BSP twice, 25% or less of BSP and 50% or less of BSP on 4 of its last 5 starts: The Green Ogre traded at 10% or less of BSP, 25% or less of BSP and 50% or less of BSP on 3 of its last 4 starts.
Race: 16:10 Ascot - 3m Handicap Chase
Pace Forecast: Strongly contested.
Specific Pace Hint: A proliferation of possible pace-forcers could count against Aachen, who usually races close up: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Well Refreshed who tends to come from behind.
Individual Price Hint: Aachen has traded at more than 2 times BSP twice when winning during its last 5 starts: Gauvain traded at 10% or less of BSP and 50% or less of BSP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
