Ascot Race 5 - Royal Ascot Local Schools Art Competition Handicap
WATERFORD CASTLE (1) sets a solid standard after three straight seconds, most recently 2nd at Newmarket over 2011m beaten 0.5L, and now rises in the weights. DEVIL'S PEAK (3) was narrowly denied at Kempton over 2211m, beaten 0.1L, and should be strong again back slightly in trip. SINTRA (5) brings consistent form, placing 3rd at Yarmouth over 2032m last time after a Wolverhampton 2nd at 1739m. ENEMY AGENT (4) is a recent Kempton winner at 1609m but needs to rebound from a 6th at Yarmouth. SASSICAIA (2) was a Wolverhampton winner at 1739m and can improve second up from a Southwell 4th.
