"His hard-hitting demeanor hasn't led to any misdeeds, and there's a strong chance he'll emerge victorious once more - a handicap contest assessment and quotes"
In the upcoming races at Ascot, several horses are expected to make a strong showing. Mister Bluebird, a talented horse that has had a great summer, is one to watch. The versatile Mister Bluebird has been winning lately and should find the conditions to his liking.
Mister Bluebird ran well at Ascot earlier in the year but has had a few below-par runs since. However, he goes well over the trip and it seems that the conditions of the race will suit him perfectly.
Another horse to keep an eye on is Native Warrior. This consistent performer is known for excelling on soft ground, a condition that is likely to prevail in the upcoming races. Native Warrior has performed well at Ascot in the past, and with jockey Jamie Spencer, who rides the track brilliantly, in the saddle, Native Warrior could be a strong contender.
Leadman, who ran well at Newbury, is another horse with potential. However, the ground could be a concern for Leadman, as it might not be ideal for his preference.
Rhoscolyn, a horse that won at Ascot in the past, could also enjoy the conditions. However, the ground might be a factor, as it could be too soft for Rhoscolyn's liking.
Great Acclaim, a hard-knocking horse that won four races last year, is another contender. Great Acclaim performed well when paired with Darkness in a previous race and ran another big race in a hat-trick bid. However, Darkness, who was picked off late by Great Acclaim in their previous race, will be reopposing Darkness with a 1lb rise.
Sword, who ran well at Ascot earlier in the year but has had a few below-par runs since, and Akkadian Thunder, who ran well at Ascot on soft ground last year, complete the lineup of horses to watch. However, the jockeys riding these horses are not specified in the provided information.
Nostrum, a horse that is struggling for form and has been too keen in races, is a wildcard in the race. It remains to be seen how Nostrum will perform under the pressure of competition.
The last two winners have made all from high draws, which could be a factor in the upcoming races. Regardless, it promises to be an exciting day of racing at Ascot!
