(%): National Average (E): Entries (R) Rides (✓): Pertinence

• FAVOURITES: Favourites in non-handicaps at Ascot have a poor strike rate compared to most other UK racecourses, in fact 2yo favourites in non-handicaps have a miserable conversion, the lowest from any racecourse. Conversely, winning favourites in handicaps win at the national average and return a level stake profit to SP of £47.61. Favourites across the board at Ascot show 186-554 for 34% and a level stake profit of +16.87 (inc yesterday's results).
• TRAINERS: One of the busiest times for trainers this weekend but Andrew Balding (5), William Haggas (5) Roger Varian (3) and J & T Gosden (2) have runners at the course so a natural starting point. ✓✓
• JOCKEYS: Only Jim Crowley (5) from out two leader boards have rides at Ascot today so our hot jockeys will probably come into play, these include Adam Kirby, Cieren Fallon and Rossa Ryan ✓✓✓✓
• OWNERS: With Newmarket and Longchamp competing none of our leader board owners have runners at the course today.
• DID YOU KNOW: Richard Hannon sends out 17 horses today, 10 at Newmarket, 4 at Redcar, 2 at Ascot and 3 at Wolverhampton. He is currently 0-17. Could he end up at 0-34? We doubt it, he must have one winner! John Gosden sends out 10 to four courses also. With Longchamp today and tomorrow our trainers are going to be stretched and nervous!
