There are two Listed races on the Ascot program this week but our best is not in that company.

Coming off some rich country races, the dominance of the wins suggest Neurological can continue the form today.
William Pike has won on him five times since September and he sticks here from a lovely draw.
The 4yo hasn’t lost his zest for racing despite a long prep and he is versatile enough to use the barrier or let them go if the speed is on.
He is used to carrying this sort of weight to victory so that should not be an issue either.
The value runner of the day could well be Assetro in the Listed Challenge Stakes.
She has had two runs back but had a trial since her last run to keep her ticking over.
The mile and beyond should be her go so maybe an Oaks path in time but there could well be pace on here from this start and if they overdo it, fancy she can run home fast.
That was her style as a 2yo and she did place in a Gimcrack Stakes at Ascot.
A lot of the rivals come out of midweek races or doubtful strength races so happy to speck her.
BEST FROM THE WEST
