Ascot

Vespasian returned to action with a very good run in the Shergar Cup here and must have a good chance if the ground dries out in his favour. If there's still plenty of juice in the surface Solar Aclaim would come right into it as he's still learning his 5f trade and looks likely to do better yet. The ground isn't that important to last year's winner WOOLHAMPTON, though, and she made a welcome return to form when bringing down the hammer at Sandown last week. Northern Spirit, who should be suited by this stiff 5f, and last year's runner-up Brooklyn Nine Nine are also considered along with Manaccan.[Emily Weber]
