Club 26 At Ascot Handicap Stakes

Westmorian showed clear improvement last time out, a fourth having followed a run of below-par efforts including a refusal four starts back. He has run over today's trip and going before, and though yet to win in this sequence, the upward trend on a 17-day turnaround makes him the highest-rated of these eight at 84 and the one to beat on figures.

Yes I'm Mali won six starts back and has been running well again of late, second last time out having also been runner-up four starts back. He has run over today's trip and going before, rated 80 with a speed figure of 87, third-best in this field on our numbers.

Expert Agent was a winner two starts back and again four starts back, sandwiching a second in between, before a below-par sixth last time out. He has run over today's trip and going before and is second-best of these on a rating of 81, with the form to bounce back if repeating his best.

Fenlander arrives on a hat-trick, winning his last three starts in a row after finishing sixth, third and second before that. Impressive as that sequence reads, our figures rate him only 68 here, second-bottom of this field, suggesting those wins came in weaker company than he meets today.

Dashing Dick is winless in his last five starts, with a best of third two starts back the standout amid four finishes of sixth or worse, including sixth last time out. He has run over today's trip and going before, but a modest rating of 73 - sixth-best of these eight - makes him hard to fancy on figures alone.
