Race of the Day: Neil King and Jack Quinlan to strike with Onemorefortheroad at Ascot?

Alan Thomson gives his verdict on the Race of the Day at Ascot. The Sky Sports Racing cameras focus on Asocot's Friday slot. Nine runners go to post for the Class 2 Garden For All Seasons Handicap Hurdle (3.15) over two miles.

The Groundwork is a stiff, right-handed circuit measuring around 1m 6f. Some prolonged showers have hit the track in the past 24 hours. Whizz Kid, Gipsy De Choisel, Lively Citizen and Onefortheroad have cut out the running in past.

Shanroe represents Karl Thornton and Donagh Meyler. He finished fourth to Sonnyboyliston in the 2021 Ebor racing off a 101 mark. Shanroe beat 19 rivals in a Fairyhouse novices' handicap hurdle.

Onemorefortheroad won three races last year. He finished fourth in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr and fourth at the Aintree. Onemereforthereroad is trained by Neil King and trained for Jack Quinlan.

Doctor Parnassus won the juvenile hurdle in January. He finished behind Pied Piper at Cheltenham last month.

Gipsy De Choisel is a six-year-old by Nicky Henderson. He beat Percy's Word by almost five lengths at Warwick 184 days ago. Gipy De Chisel finished third to Metier on his UK debut two years ago and has been something of a mixed bag since.

Whizz Kid was beaten 13 lengths in a messy contest at Musselburgh 16 days ago. It was his first start following a wind procedure. He finished ahead of both Lively Citizen and Gipsy De Choisel in the hot handicap hurdle won by Hacker Des Places at Aintree in April.

In The Air fell in the race won by Flash The Steel at Fontwell last month and finished second five days later on the all-weather at Les Sables. Gary Moore's four-year-old landed the odds in a juvenile hurdle at Newbury in March.

Lively Citizen made his return to action at Cheltenham four weeks ago. He won at Leicester in early July.

Monviel is a gelding trained by Philip Hobbs. He won at Wincanton and Sandown last winter but finished 8th in the Imperial Cup.

Get Back Get Back was picked off a conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle under Ben Bromley at Kempton 11 days ago.

Onemorefortheroad is in good form and should be seen to best advantage in the race. Nicky Henderson's Gipsy De Choisel has plenty of ground to make up on Whizz Kid. Irish raider Shanroe makes each-way appeal at a price.
