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

Course winner STRIKE RED is ground-versatile, ideally suited by this distance and finished second in a decent heritage handicap at York last month. He hasn't won since landing the Scurry Handicap here in July 2023 but has performed consistently well in similar hot handicaps and, notably, finished ahead of today's rival Torivega at Royal Ascot and is now 4lb better off with that rival. Torivega, out of a Group 2-winning dam, has had three luckless runs here this year but, being a four-year-old, might continue to progress further. Heavenly Power beat Apache Outlaw (second) to win the August C&D race in which Torivega finished third and the pair have obvious form claims.

STRIKE RED landed a big handicap here last season and returned to that sort of form when runner-up at York last month. He gets the nod in a fiercely competitive contest. Greek Flower, Keke and Heavenly Power make up the shortlist.

The selection is GREEK FLOWER, runner-up in both the Rockingham and the Scurry, and holds the best overall form this season

PURPLE LILY endured a rough passage in the Irish Oaks but holds today's other three-year-olds on previous form and can also defeat older rivals. She failed by half a length against subsequent English Oaks winner Ezeliya at Navan in April and may have been unsuited by dropping to a mile in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, but the Irish Oaks form here in July is strong with the first two home going on to fill the same positions in the Yorkshire Oaks. The selection has 2lb to find with American Sonja on official ratings and, while she is suited by this distance and finished second in a Deauville Group 1 recently, Joseph O'Brien's charge would prefer some cut in the ground. Elizabeth Jane was a length and a half behind the selection in the Irish Oaks and has solid place claims.

PURPLE LILY ran a cracker in the Irish Oaks last time, despite seemingly being stretched by the longer trip. She is fancied to land the spoils. American Sonja and Elizabeth Jane rate the principal dangers.

The one to beat is PURPLE LILY(nap), who just ran out of steam in the Irish Oaks and should take plenty of stopping over this trip

BEDTIME STORY has been kept ticking over since her Royal Ascot romp and will be primed for this first Group 1 attempt. By Frankel and out of dual Nunthorpe Stakes winner Mecca's Angel, she is a really smart filly and has won twice since Ascot at the expense of stablemate Exactly. Simmering was flattered to finish as close to Fairy Godmother as she did in the Albany Stakes but, nonetheless, she won in good style at Deauville last month. She seemed to benefit from stepping up to this distance that day and is noted. Lake Victoria and Red Letter met over C&D in June and are up in class.

BEDTIME STORY is an excellent prospect and can provide her trainer with a record-extending tenth success in this Group 1 contest. Her stablemate Lake Victoria can confirm her narrow C&D maiden superiority over Red Letter and fill the forecast spot.

The potentially top-class RED LETTER followed a narrow defeat in June with an impressive maiden success here and could be anything

BRADSELL has underperformed in two course runs but is top class when conditions are in his favour. Winner of the 2022 Coventry Stakes, he disappointed in the Phoenix Stakes here as a juvenile but has since found his niche running over this distance. He won the King's Stand as a three-year-old and, while he disappointed in this race last year, softening ground blunted his speed that day and he should take all of the beating if replicating his Nunthorpe Stakes performance. Believing finished second in the Nunthorpe and should again run well, while last year's winner Moss Tucker might need a bit of cut underfoot.

BRADSELL impressed when seeing off Believing in the Nunthorpe at York last month and is taken to confirm his superiority over George Boughey's consistent filly, who returns to the scene of her Group 2 success in July. Bucanero Fuerte could be spot on for this after his run in the Haydock Sprint Cup last weekend and is next on the list.

It may pay to side with BELIEVING, a Group 2 winner here in July and one that might be improving at a faster rate than Bradsell

HENRI MATISSE is still a work in progress but can progress further. Out of a Group 1-winning dam, none of his wins have been flashy performances and while displaying signs of inexperience in both the Railway Stakes and the Futurity, he finished that latest race quite well and is ideally suited by this distance. Aomori City also seemed to benefit from stepping up to this distance when winning at Goodwood in July. He had previously finished third to subsequent Prix Morny winner Whistlejacket at Newmarket, while the form of his recent win was subsequently boosted by the third-placed colt winning at Group 2 level. Hill Road stays well as he impressively won his maiden over a mile, but steps up markedly in class.

HENRI MATISSE looks every inch a Group 1 winner in waiting following a faultless start to his career and with his Futurity Stakes win over C&D comfortably the best form on offer, he's very hard to get away from. Aomori City is second choice, though Hill Road brings considerable potential to the table.

Aidan O'Brien can prevail with the unbeaten Railway Stakes and Futurity Stakes winner HENRI MATISSE. Aomori City is a big danger

KYPRIOS was beaten in this at a short price last year but has looked back to his brilliant best this term and should prove the class act. The son of Galileo had an injury interrupted campaign last term but has been flawless in four starts this year, winning his second Ascot Gold Cup and most recently running out an impressive victor of the Goodwood Cup. Giavellotto looks the obvious danger and will make sure it's a solid test. He steps back up in trip after a cosy Group 2 success at Newmarket in July. He beat Vauban in fine style in the Yorkshire Cup in May, while Willie Mullins' charge restored his confidence on the Knavesmire last month.

KYPRIOS looked as good as ever when regaining the Ascot Gold Cup and Goodwood Cup this summer and he can do the same here having won this 2 years ago (runner-up last year on belated comeback). Giavellotto has looked high-class this year and rates a serious opponent, with Lonsdale Cup winner Vauban the only other realistic threat.

In regaining the Gold Cup at Ascot, KYPRIOS confirmed his status as an outstanding stayer. His Goodwood win was most impressive

SPIRIT D'OR can give trainer Gavin Hernon a big winner here. The Invincible Spirit filly ran well to finish fourth in Listed company at Deauville on her penultimate start and there is an Irish line of form to work with there as the consistent Shamrock Breeze was just denied in that race. The handicapper has given the maiden winner a mark of 93 and she sets the standard. Aidan O'Brien tries cheekpieces on Right And True and he could be a big player after solid placed efforts in maidens the last twice. English raiders have a fine record in this and Karl Burke's Unspoken Love drops in class.

It's significant that SPIRIT D'OR has made the long trip over for this after getting off the mark comfortably at Moulins, so she's worth siding with in the hope that further improvement can be unlocked back up in trip Gloriously Glam is an obvious player and No Such Thing can do better still.

Gavin Hernon's raider SPIRIT D'OR has the merit of having run well in a Listed race, arguably giving her the best credentials

Ryan Moore gave WIGMORE STREET a fantastic ride to win here 15 days ago and there looks scope for further improvement from the American Pharoah gelding. He came with a late charge to gain a head victory in the Irish Cambridgeshire and going another couple of furlongs now should suit. Gerry Keane had a memorable day when taking this last year with Crystal Black and Genuine Article could run a big race again for the same connections. He was a touch unlucky when fourth at Galway recently and is tried in blinkers now. Former Group 1 winner Helvic Dream has been eased a few pounds and is interesting back in handicap company.

WIGMORE STREET put it all together when landing a big-field handicap here last time and the longer trip promises to suit, so he's worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of Take Heart, who landed a big race at Goodwood last time. This Songisforyou is another player.

This longer trip may help to bring out the best in THIS SONGISFORYOU, third in the valuable Mile Handicap at the Galway festival

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.
