Ascot racecourse has announced a £10m refit programme to iron out problems stemming from its £200m redevelopment.
The move follows a review carried out after Ascot's re-opening earlier this year which identified several areas that needed to be improved.
Among the changes will be the elevation of several areas to improve viewing, which was the main focus of criticism.
The refit, which includes installing a temporary 2,000-seater stand, will be completed by the end of April.
There will be amendments to the Silver Ring, which will include reprofiled lawns.
The Royal Enclosure will be extended and lawns will be regraded to increased the gradient and improve the view of the track.
The steppings and seating areas will also be elevated and the rake increased to improve viewing.
The estimated £10m cost of the work will be funded from the contingency reserve of the original redevelopment project.
