The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

The booking of Ryan Moore for the Clive Cox-trained newcomer Nemov catches the eye and any market confidence behind him would be significant. However, MISS INFORMATION has shown a decent level of form already and she shades the verdict. The daughter of Blue Point was beaten narrowly into third at Windsor a fortnight ago and this stiffer track should play to her strengths. Western hasn't been seen since finishing fifth on debut over 5f here May, but he left the impression that he would benefit from this step up in trip on that occasion.

WESTERN hasn't been seen since making an encouraging start to his career at this track in May, but he hails from a stable in red-hot form at present and seems sure to improve, especially with the step up to 6f in his favour, so earns the vote. Cajetan proved a major disappointment at Lingfield last time, but he was runner-up in an excellent time at Salisbury on his penultimate outing and would have major claims if returning to that sort of form. Nemov is a newcomer to note.

Newcomer NEMOV gets the vote. He is nicely bred, the stable is having a fine season with its 2yos and Ryan Moore has been booked.

14:25 Ascot Maiden (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

This may be an informative event, but the obvious place to start is the Aidan O'Brien-trained KESTREL. The son of Justify is out of mare who was Group 2-placed over 1m2f and it would be no surprise to see him go well on debut. There wasn't much to separate Moyassr (third) and Ten Bob Tony (fourth) at Salisbury last month, where both gave the impression that this extra furlong would suit, while Olympic Candle and Accumulate also make the shortlist.

Despite signs of inexperience, OLYMPIC CANDLE fared best of the newcomers and shaped well when third in a Newbury maiden 3 weeks ago. Entitled to have derived a good deal from that effort, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. Irish-raider Kestrel holds Group-race entries and is one to note also, with The Ice Phoenix another expected to be in the mix.

Despite being sent off at 20-1 OLYMPIC CANDLE showed more than enough when third on his Newbury debut to suggest he would win races.

15:00 Ascot Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

SEAWARD sets a good standard based on her fourth-placed finish on debut at Newmarket last month and, as the only one in the contest with race experience, the Sea The Stars filly could prove too good for her rivals. Connections parted with 500,000gns to acquire Catch The Light last year and any market support would make Andrew Balding's charge interesting too, while Climate Action and Cavriana cannot be dismissed either.

SEAWARD was well supported when an encouraging fourth on debut at Newmarket last month and can be expected to improve from that. She can open her account. The market should prove a good guide to expectations from some interesting newcomers but Catch The Light looks particularly interesting.

With experience on her side SEAWARD is taken to get the better of the four newcomers. She should appreciate the extra furlong.

15:35 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ONE STEP BEYOND was a cosy winner over course and distance on his penultimate start and then followed that up when second at Windsor a fortnight ago. With that in mind, the six-year-old looks sure to give another good account of himself. Lenny's Spirit should not be discounted in his bid for a hat-trick either, although his recent wins have been over further and that is a slight concern. Shaladar has gone close on his last two starts and is another to note.

LENNY'S SPIRIT has thrived in amateur company under Sophie Smith this summer and the partnership are fancied to take the drop back to 1m in their stride to notch a fourth success of the campaign. Ideal Guest remains feasibly treated on his best form and arrives in good heart, so shouldn't be ruled out, whilst One Step Beyond and Shaladar complete the shortlist

The vote goes to MAYSONG who has shown some useful form in better races than this so far this year and has won under Fern O'Brien.

16:10 Ascot Stakes (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Tafreej posted a solid fourth in the Sky Bet Mile at York a fortnight ago and he is well treated at the weights. Though respected, a chance can be taken on SEA OF THIEVES. She wasn't disgraced in the Group 3 Valiant Stakes here last time and Ed Walker's filly is the least exposed, so might find further progress dropping in class. Saxon King, Out Of Shadows and Glenfinnan are others to note in what looks a fairly open heat.

TAFREEJ comes here at the top of his game and is favoured by these weights too so can resume winning ways at the chief expense of Saxon King, who is also weighted to have a say. Out of Shadows and Lyndon B are two more who merit plenty of respect.

The choice is OUT OF SHADOWS who is 2-4 since returning in April and holds Kiaraad on last month's Newmarket running.

16:45 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

MAJOR PARTNERSHIP found only a well-fancied stablemate too strong over C&D in July and a similar level of performance may suffice off just 1lb higher in the ratings. Aerion Power finished a fine fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup here in June and could give the selection most to think about with Ryan Moore now back on board. Ouzo offered more encouragement when beaten just over a length at Goodwood recently and shouldn't be far away either.

MAN OF EDEN has held his form well lately and shaped better than the result on more than one occasion, so a chance is taken on him in the hope that everything drops right. Bluelight Bay also arrives at the top of his game and Major Partner deserves plenty of respect for all that he's a lot more exposed than the aforementioned pair.

The vote goes to MAJOR PARTNERSHIP, who went close in a C&D handicap last time and represents a yard that won this last year.

17:20 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The consistent Kimnkate looks sure to go well after her most recent second at Newmarket, as she has been raised just 2lb for that display. However, the vote goes to HARRY MAGNUS, who likes to be held up and he could have this race run to suit. In addition, he sports a first-time hood, which could eke out improvement, so he looks worth chancing under Jim Crowley. Any market support for Liberty on her handicap bow would be interesting.

Several of these are shortlisted, with GULMARG marginally the pick. He quickly bounced back from an uncharacteristic poor effort at Newmarket in June when just edged out at Kempton and a reproduction of that would give him every chance. De Bruyne's turn is surely near and he is second choice ahead of Pastiche, who remains of interest despite rather fluffing her lines last time out. The consistent Kimnkate also has claims and Metahorse is another to consider in a competitive heat.

Preference is for the unexposed PASTICHE (nap) who is 2-2 over 7f and had excuses for her lesser effort over 1m at Newmarket last time.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
