The going at Ascot is Good to Firm.

Chris Stickels, Ascot’s Clerk of the Course, said: “The ground was riding fast and jockeys were reporting that it was quicker today.

“Given the evapotranspiration was slightly higher today with the higher temperatures and given that it is going to be hot tomorrow, we are going to put 6mm of water on tonight.”
