"Limato was Timeform's joint top-rated juvenile in 2014 and he looks a top-class sprinting prospect for the season ahead."

Timeform's SmartPlays team pick out three bets on a strong day's racing at Ascot.

Pulcinella - 15:00 Ascot

Pulcinella gets the nod having improved a chunk with with each start last season, but John Gosden's Sperry has a similarly progressive profile and could be a big threat, while Montalcino confirmed she's useful when runner-up in a similar event over C&D when last seen in the autumn.

Limato - 16:05 Ascot

Limato was Timeform's joint top-rated juvenile in 2014 and he looks a top-class sprinting prospect for the season ahead. Tendu acquitted herself very well upped markedly in class when fifth in the Cheveley Park at Newmarket and can follow the selection home, with the talented but quirky Hawkesbury best of the others.

Hors de Combat - 16:35 Ascot

Hors de Combat progressed into a smart performer last season and appeals as just the type his trainer, who has won this race before, will get more improvement out of in 2015. Mondialiste came up a little short in the Earl of Sefton at Newmarket recently but still looks the main threat ahead of Moohaarib, who seemingly has his quirks but has the ability to figure at this level.
