14:20, Thames Materials Amateur Jockeys' Handicap
Stenmark 6/1, 2pts win
Ribenska 16/1, 1pt each-way (5 places)
Not the easiest days punting at Ascot on Friday and the threat of serious rain could play a part in proceedings. Stenmark however, has looked a different horse since switching stables and the well bred son of Kingman could still be well handicapped off a mark of 80. He won well at Southwell before finishing 2nd off this mark at Epsom last time out, only beaten by the favourite and clear of the rest. Simon Walker has been booked and must have a decent chance. At bigger odds, Ribenska is having his first run on turf here which poses a question mark, and it will also be his first run in a handicap. A mark of 76 could be fair as he gave the now 85 rated Mezcala a race at Lingfield on his penultimate start. The Charlie Fellowe's stable is flying along at present and decent amateur jockey Paul Hainey has been booked.
