Willie Mullins has done so well over the past few years in these staying races at the royal meeting that every respect is given to his My Lyka in this 2M 4F Ascot Stakes Handicap. He has been well found in the market mind and although I do like the top weight Pied Piper who’s run well twice over hurdles since finishing runner up to the re-opposing The Shunter in the Cesarewitch last October it’s a big outsider that may offer the best value each way with extra places. National Hunt trainers have an excellent record in the race and Dorset based Syd Hosie’s Temporize will stay all day as he proved when winning the 2M 4F handicap at Goodwood’s main meeting last summer. He may have just needed the run when runner up to the re-opposing Pledgeofallegiance at the same track last month and can out run his big odds.

Formerly useful on the Flat in France, My Lyka was narrowly denied on his stable/hurdle debut over 2m4f at Killarney last month, and switched back to the level for his handicap bow, he warrants the utmost respect for top connections. Preference, though, goes to PIED PIPER. Gordon Elliott's charge finished a staying-on second in the Cesarewitch on his last start in this sphere and, after another excellent placed effort in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival most recently, this step up in trip can see him return to winning ways off a 2lb higher mark than when finishing a luckless sixth in this race in 2022. Impressive last-time-out winners Tenerife Sunshine and Boher Road complete the shortlist in a typically wide-open affair.

Ascot Stakes Overview

The Ascot Stakes is a flat handicap race that takes place annually at Royal Ascot. It is contested over a distance of 2 miles, 3 furlongs, and 210 yards at Ascot Racecourse. The race is open to horses that are aged four years and older.

The race is considered one of the toughest in betting due to flat and National Hunt trainers competing against each other. It is one of the longest races in the calendar so it’s a favourite for stayers.

One of the most fascinating aspects of this race is that horses often go on to compete in races at the Cheltenham Festival after running in this race. There have also been Ascot Gold Cup winners who first cut their teeth in this race earlier in their careers.
