Ascot - Saturday 4th October

15:00, John Guest Racing Bengough Stakes

Apollo One 5/1, 2pts win

Won this race last year and the likeable veteran Apollo One must have decent chance of repeating in similar conditions to 12 months ago. Coming to the boil at the right time, as showed when runner up int the Portland last time out.

15:35, BetMGM Challenge Cup

Mirabeau 11/1, 2pts each-way (5 places)

Cieren Fallon is an eye catching jockey booking on the 3 year old Mirabeau. Finished 3rd behind Native Warrior and Great Acclaim here last month but is now better off at the weights with both of those and will appreciate the softer ground here than either of those opponents today. I would forgive him the average run last time out at Newbury as he carried a big weight that day whereas he's off 8 stone 11 here and also hit the front a mile out and didn't look comfortable. He's a hold up horse and hopefully his top jockey today will get a tune out of him. Big chance.
