4.10 WOKINGHAM STAKES THE ABILITY to stay seven furlongs and act well with cut in the ground could be two major attributes here so SUMMERGHAND s the pick in a typically open race. David O’Meara is rarely too far away in races of this nature and the six-year-old was an honourable fifth in this race last year. He was fourth in the Stewards’ Cup and Ayr Gold Cup before running a blinder over an extra furlong in a warm Ascot handicap. His recent effort behind Tinto was a fine comeback and he should go well from a middle draw. Bielsa adores soft ground and there is plenty of pace to aid his chance. SUMMERGHAND DANGER: BIELSA 3.35 DIAMOND JUBILEE STAKES THERE is a slight concern ONE MASTER may not be cherry ripe following an eightmonth absence but if she is anywhere near full fitness this race could set up nicely for her. Placed in last season’s Queen Anne Stakes after fading late on, the selection was also runner-up in the Champion Sprint last autumn to show she is suited to today’s venue. With plenty of pace around her, One Master should gain a good tow into the race and is a very fair each-way bet for a yard whose horses have run well all week. Hello Youmzain, third in the Commonwealth Cup 12 months ago, is just one of a host of dangers. BEST BET: ONE MASTER DANGER: HELLO YOUMZAIN 4.40 QUEEN ALEXANDRA STAKES TRAINER Ian Williams landed the staying handicap at this meeting last year with THE
GRAND VISIR and the son of Frankel appears to have been readied for a tilt at this finale. Although not seen since a spin over hurdles back in October, the selection has won off a lengthy absence before and he is reunited with Richard Kingscote who partnered him to victory 12 months ago. Who Dares Wins, third in the 2017 Ascot Stakes on his previous run at the track, has been to more festivals than Ed Sheeran and his trainer lifted the long-distance handicap earlier this week. BEST BET: THE GRAND VISIR DANGER: WHO DARES WINS
