It is Ascot Trials Day on Wednesday and we have a busy day of flat action, with racing from Ascot, Brighton and Southwell, live on Sky Sports Racing…
Electrolyte finished a narrow second in the Coventry Stakes at the Royal meeting last year and looks to have strong claims in this eventmasters.co.uk Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes.
The Archie Watson-trained three-year-old ended last season with a Group Three victory in France and a similar effort would see him go close under Ryan Moore.
Big Mojo enjoyed a successful season at two, winning the Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood before running well in defeat at the Breeders’ Cup. Mick Appleby’s stable star warrants plenty of respect having undergone wind surgery since last seen.
Of the others, Spring Cup Stakes winner Rebel’s Gamble steps up in grade, while Arabie is fit from a spin at Deauville earlier this month.
Coltrane has shown his liking for this venue on several occasions and seeks a hat-trick of wins in this Longines Sagaro Stakes. Andrew Balding’s eight-year-old comfortably claimed this race in 2023 and, having outbattled Caius Chorister last season, he will be a short price to make it three in a row.
Divine Comedy just failed to collar Al Qareem on his return at Nottingham and rates the chief threat for Harry Eustace and Ryan Moore. Runner-up in the Ascot Stakes in June, he will hope to step forward and spring a surprise.

A super renewal of this Listed eventmasters.co.uk Paradise Stakes sees 11 head to post over a mile.
Docklands looks a good place to start having finished second in this race last year, and should appreciate this drop in grade having contested Group One company in Australia and Hong Kong most recently.
Unquestionable, a Breeders’ Cup winner for Aidan O’Brien in 2023, ran with credit in just two starts last season and makes his debut for the Richard Hannon team. A reproduction of his fourth in the St James’ Palace Stakes last June would see him in the money here.
John and Thady Gosden saddle Sardinian Warrior, who racked up an all-weather hat-trick this winter and deserves a crack at the turf.
