BACK Angel Chimes to prevent history repeating itself in the Insulpak Victoria Cup at Ascot today. Ante-post betting on this £30,000-added handicap suggests that last year's finishing order will be the best guide to the result.

Yeast, Master Charter and Emerging Market were first, second and fourth respectively 12 months ago and each has been well backed to figure in the seven-furlong cavalry-charge again.

Third last season was Prince Babar trained by Jack Banks who could upset the deja-vu punters this time by striking with that horse's half-sister Angel Chimes.

There is almost certainly better to come this year from the filly who has been restricted to just a handful of appearances to date in her career.

Fitness is unlikely to be a problem first time out as she came from behind to score an authoritative victory in a good handicap at Newmarket on her reappearance last season.

Lack of a run subsequently means the handicapper is still in the dark as to her ability and has set her only the featherweight of 7st 10lb to carry. Angel Chimes will be ideally suited by this strongly-run dash over a straight seven furlongs and can upset her better fancied rivals.

Impulsive Air could be the answer to the White Rose Stakes, a similarly competitive handicap over a mile. The gelding put up a string of good efforts in big fields last year, notably when just touched off by Gladys Althorpe at Doncaster and fourth to Hawksley Hill at Newmarket.

He ran a blinder under Frankie Dettori on his reappearance at Newcastle where he was beaten only narrowly by the race-fit Three Arch Bridge. And Dettori's decision to stick with the five-year-old today suggests he is confident of another bold showing.

Front-running Double Trigger will be popular as he bids for a hat-trick of victories in the Insulpak Sagaro Stakes. But he has reportedly suffered from a foot infection recently and may be worth opposing with Orchestra Stall, who will be all the better for his reappearance effort at Haydock.
