William Stone and Ross Birkett teamed up to win this 12 months ago with the returning Final Watch, who merits respect off just 1lb above that winning mark, but a chance is taken on CONQUISTADOR. The gelded son of U S Navy Flag hasn't been in the same form since running a cracker to finish third in the Palace of Holyroodhouse at the Royal meeting, but returning to this track, combined with a step up in trip, could unlock further improvement. Kimnkate is also noted.

MOBASHR has a style that lends itself well to this track and, having confirmed himself still in top form in a stronger race than this over C&D last month, he's put forward as the answer. Kimnkate and Alazwar are a couple of others that look sure to go well.

The 3yo filly Kimnkate can be bang there once more but preference is for MOBASHR, who is also having a productive campaign.

SCENIC has been performing with credit during the season in Listed company, most notably finishing third at York in July, and Ed Walker's filly, who was touched off in a novice event at Salisbury last time, is more than capable of finally shedding the maiden tag. Juana Ines makes her UK debut having won her second career start at Clairefontaine in July. She enters calculations, while Kempton winner Camarrate and Hampden Park are others who are capable of being in the mix.

Andrew Balding's Sea The Moon colt HAMPDEN PARK shaped well after an absence when third at Kempton and is fancied to get off the mark at the chief expense of Scenic who holds the best form but has to shrug off a below-par Salisbury second last time out. Camarrate and Juana Ines both have better days ahead of them and merit plenty of respect too.

Although she's the most experienced of these, SCENIC is not your typical eight-race maiden and should be up to winning this.

15:22 Ascot Stakes (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HICKORY arrives here on the back of two placed efforts in valuable handicaps over 7f at this venue in recent months, and he could return to winning ways with his sights now lowered. Daysofourlives and Florida are progressive three-year-olds who could give the selection plenty to think about, although the latter is the slight pick of the pair following his win at York. Jeff Koons edges out Sweet Reward to be best of the rest.

A tightly-knit affair due to the conditions of the race but unexposed 3-y-os JEFF KOONS and Florida represent excellent yards and they could easily have more to offer. Marginal preference is for the former dropped in trip, with rock-solid handicapper Hickory completing the shortlist.

The most appealing contenders are among the 3yos, headed by FLORIDA who should improve further. Daysofourlives is feared most.

Chesspiece was a place and a couple of lengths ahead of MIDDLE EARTH when sixth in the St Leger, but the Gosdens' Melrose winner was supplemented for the Classic so must be held in very high regard, and he can improve past his rival on 3lb better terms. Naqeeb is starting to put it all together and deserves a try at Listed company. Lmay, a stablemate of the selection, was behind Climate Friendly at York, but then impressed with the way she travelled into contention in the Park Hill.

A hot listed event. LMAY's much-improved performance in the Park Hill is backed up by the timefigure so she shades the vote over Chesspiece and Middle Earth, who are back down in class having found the St Leger too much.

The William Haggas-trained NAQEEB (nap) is a half-brother to Group 1 winners Baaeed and Hukum and he can continue his progressive ways.

SEA STONE wasn't beaten far in his attempt to land the hat-trick at Southwell last month, and returning to the turf could see him in a better light as he looks to get back to winning ways. Conditions are in his favour and the four-year-old may have too much for Brave Knight and El Jasor, who could improve for going up in trip. An easy winner at Thirsk on her penultimate outing, Art De Vivre is fancied to be thereabouts as well.

SEA STONE arrives firmly on the up and still looked ahead of his mark when third at Southwell last time, so he gets the nod over Art de Vivre, who is expected to get back on the up. El Jasor is also considered.

Nicely bred ART DE VIVRE is taken to resume her progress back on turf. Brave Knight, a similar type, is second choice.

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

DARK THIRTY had a few of these behind when third over this trip at Newmarket's July Festival and has held his form well over 7f since, tasting success at the same venue. The son of Starspangledbanner could relish the return to this distance and is just preferred to C&D winner Lethal Nymph, who was runner-up at Doncaster over an extended 6f last month and is now only 1lb higher. King's Lynn and Mitrosonfire are just a couple more to consider.

A belated first success of the season could be on the cards for ROHAAN, who failed to justify support when finishing seventh in the Ayr Gold Cup but that effort can be upgraded a touch and this four-time C&D winner has slipped to a very attractive mark. Redemption Time put in a good shift when second to a rival at the top of his game here last month and he is feared most ahead of stablemate Lethal Nymph. Cases can also be made for King's Lynn and Yaaser.

Clive Cox has two strong candidates in a competitive sprint, LETHAL NYMPH getting the vote just ahead of Redemption 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.
