Ascot Race 6 - Hampton Court Stakes (Group 3)
ENDORSEMENT (3) Won by a huge margin of 7L last start at Leopardstown but taking on stronger rivals. Trainer has gone for the winkers on, take note. Massive hope. MAHO BAY (7) Underperformed when 4th last time at Lingfield but has the ideal stall. Should muster plenty of early toe. William T Buick is a smart booking. Matched against tougher rivals. Has to be included. ITALY (6) Back after a break. Came in 4th last run at Leopardstown and facing a stronger grade. Ear muffs on could be an important change. Can't be left out of trifectas. MORSHDI (8) Ran 5th last time at York but solid career start. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Likely to fill a place.

Was $51.00 and didn't threaten when 7th last time at Sandown and up against stronger rivals. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Cannot have.

Fresh today after a 35 week break. Set a strong tempo before weakening to place 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last run at Newmarket but up in class. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Looked good when 2nd last start at Newmarket and putting a tidy record together so far. Winkers go on for the first time but challenged by a tougher grade. Could feature here.
