Royal Ascot Race 6

Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap)

Stake: $219,188

SERAPH GABRIEL (5) was unlucky to lose when denied a clear run before finishing second at Sandown returning to action. That outing could prove good preparation for this and he can return to winning ways now up to 2000m. Stablemate AUREL (8) battled on well to land a Leicester novice tackling this trip last time. May have more to offer now sent handicapping. Leicester maiden winner ARCHIVIST (18) would be interesting if racing (currently reserve) at near foot of the weights for top connections. French raider BEST SECRET (4) quickened nicely landing a Longchamp handicap over this distance last start. Could be in the mix on his first attempt at Royal Ascot. Something for the Multiples: WAR SOCKS (14)

Second-up. Comes off a 44-day let-up. First-up after 10 months favourite; won by a neck at Chester May 8 over 1500m defeating God Of War with 59kg at $3.50. Previously second-up favourite; won by 1.3 len at Great Yarmouth May 27 2024 over 1400m defeating Attack with 60.5kg at $2.50. May find this contest a little too much.

Third-up today. Resuming ran last in a small field at Newmarket (Rowley) in the LR Newmarket Stakes on May 2 over 2000m, 7 len behind Alpine Trail carrying 58kg at $4.30. Second run from a spell won by a nose at Leicester May 26 over 2000m defeating Boatswain carrying 61.5kg at $2.60. Interesting on handicap debut.
