(3) Chancellor (15/8 -7%)
Chancellor

1.875
15/8(-7%)
(3) Chancellor 15/8, Beaten at short odds in a 7f Ascot listed event in July but an impressive winner of maiden/novice events on this course either side, defying a penalty with ease over this trip last time. Definitely more to come from him.
Form includes two emphatic wins at this venue; looks an ideal type for this contest.

Bay City Roller

4.5
9/2(+36%)
(2) Bay City Roller 9/2, Promising New Bay colt who has won 7f novices at Sandown and Chelmsford in recent months. Useful prospect.
Two from two; not so visually impressive as some of these but has potential.

Monumental

7.5
15/2(+38%)
(4) Monumental 15/2, Progressive, proving well suited by the step up to 7f when making it third time lucky at Gowran (good to soft) 11 days ago. Capable of better again.
Progressive form in Irish maidens, winning at Gowran Park most recently.

3rd (1) Aftermath (11/1 +8%)
Aftermath

11
11/1(+8%)
(1) Aftermath 11/1, Shaped with plenty of encouragement when second of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 11/4) on debut 28 days ago, running on. This is a big jump in class but he has plenty of scope to improve.
Second in Newbury maiden; bottom of this pack on the figures but is open to progress.

4th (6) Wolf Of Badenoch (7/2 +13%)
Wolf Of Badenoch

3.5
7/2(+13%)
(6) Wolf Of Badenoch 7/2, Decisive winner of a C&D maiden on debut and ran a cracker when pitched into the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 6 weeks later, finishing 1¾ lengths second of 7 to Aomori City despite still appearing green. Capable of better again.
Won going away over C&D in June, then ran well in the Vintage Stakes; strong claims.

Righthere Rightnow

6
6/1(-71%)
(5) Righthere Rightnow 6/1, Kodiac colt who made a highly encouraging start to his career when winning by 5 lengths on Newmarket's July Course (7f, good) 36 days ago. Knew his job but should still have more to offer.
Impressive in newcomers' race at Newmarket, stretching clear for a 5l success.

13:50 Doncaster Group 2 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Righthere Rightnow impressed when readily making all on his debut over 7f at Newmarket last month and he must enter calculations. That said, preference is for the more experienced CHANCELLOR. The son of Kingman gave weight and a beating to a potentially smart rival when running out a comfortable winner over C&D recently and, with the promise of more to come, he looks to be the one to side with. Monumental can also go well.

WOLF OF BADENOCH ran a cracker in the Vintage considering his greenness was still apparent and is narrowly preferred to dual course score Chancellor, who looks more than capable of making an impact at pattern level. Aftermath has the potential for significant improvement after his promising debut second at Newbury and is next on the list.

A particularly solid case can be made for WOLF OF BADENOCH. Chancellor is feared most on form.

American Affair

4
4/1(+64%)
(16) American Affair 4/1, Largely progressive sprinter who bagged his second victory of 2024 at Thirsk (5f) in June. Posted a very good third of 10 to Shagraan in handicap at Haydock (5f, good) 7 days ago when not ideally placed so he must enter calculations.
4yo who has enjoyed an excellent campaign and every chance he'll be bang there.

Has frequently run highly creditably in defeat in the last two seasons; each-way shout.

(12) Jm Jungle 25/1, Got back to winning ways in 22-runner handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's not discounted now he's hit form again.
Kept on for 5.4f big-field win at York last month; 4lb rise isn't harsh and he's respected.

(1) Albasheer 8/1, Bagged his third win this year at Ascot in July and posted a good nose second of 7 to Democracy Dilemma in listed race at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. This course winner is very much one to consider.
As good as ever when going very close in recent Beverley Listed race; possible contender.

Bergerac

20/1(-43%)
(18) Bergerac 20/1, Scored at Newcastle in June and in good form since, faring best of those who raced near side when sixth of 22 to Jm Jungle in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Merits consideration off an easing mark.
Did well to finish sixth at York last time given his high draw; on the shortlist.

Holkham Bay

18
18/1(-50%)
(10) Holkham Bay 18/1, Is enjoying a very good year and scored at York and Ascot in June. Had the worst of the draw when twentieth of 22 to Jm Jungle in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago so can't be ruled out.
Well beaten off new mark last time but on good to firm; highly progressive previously.

(9) Silky Wilkie 25/1, It's now 19 starts since his last win in 2023 but he arrives in good nick, poorly drawn when thirteenth of 22 at York (5.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Shortlisted.
Runner-up at Hamilton in July but has failed to threaten more often than not this year.

Shagraan

6.5
13/2(+7%)
(6) Shagraan 13/2, Lightly raced for this stable and comes here better than ever, landing 5f handicaps at Glorious Goodwood and Haydock recently. Up 3 lb but he merits serious consideration.
Progressive 3yo who has won two of his last three; 3lb rise for last time may not stop him.
7
10th (7) Cover Up (17/2 +6%)
Cover Up

8.5
17/2(+6%)
(7) Cover Up 17/2, Won 3 on the bounce on the AW during the winter and back in top form of late, fifth in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood and big-field event at York when not enjoying the best of runs. Interesting, especially with this shorter trip promising to suit ideally.
Had to wait for a clear run when fifth at York last time and he's one to consider.
19
11th (19) Vintage Clarets (14/1 +0%)
Vintage Clarets

14
14/1(+0%)
(19) Vintage Clarets 14/1, Enjoyed a very successful 2023 campaign, scoring 4 times, and caught the eye when eighth of 22 to Jm Jungle in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Player off a 2 lb lower mark.
5th in this in 2023; seems best at bare 5f; may again be vulnerable to stronger finishers.

Woolhampton

40/1(-60%)
(13) Woolhampton 40/1, Had usual headgear left off when recording his third victory of 2024 in 8-runner handicap at Ascot (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Up 4 lb but in the mix again.
Strong finishes for three 5f wins this year, hinting this trip may be right up her street.
20

Hiya Maite

25
25/1(+0%)
(20) Hiya Maite 25/1, Course winner in June and comes here on the back of a good second of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Can give another good account.
This is more competitive than he's used to but he won here in June; could make bold bid.
14
14th (14) Desert Cop (28/1 +15%)
Desert Cop

28
28/1(+15%)
(14) Desert Cop 28/1, Scored at Newmarket in May but not on a going day when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 7 days ago. Visor back on now with a bit to prove.
Now 2lb lower than for Newmarket win in May but unable to reproduce that form.
22
15th (22) Aberama Gold (12/1 +40%)
Aberama Gold

12
12/1(+40%)
(22) Aberama Gold 12/1, Won Stewards' Cup last year and looked to be coming to the boil again until only eighth of 14 at Newcastle 23 days ago. This C&D winner remains one to be interested in though off a reduced mark.
0-10 this year but has shown spark and is on a dangerous mark; very solid record here.
15

Born To Rock

33

(15) Born To Rock 33/1, Debut winner for Jane Chapple-Hyam and took her form up a level on his yard debut when excellent second of 8 in handicap here (5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. She's one for the shortlist.
3yo who kept on for second over 5f here on last month's stable debut; chance.
8
17th (8) Dream Composer (25/1 +0%)
Dream Composer

25
25/1(+0%)
(8) Dream Composer 25/1, Resumed winning ways in 7-runner handicap at Pontefract (5f, good) 27 days ago by 1½ lengths from American Affair. Well on top at the finish there so not taken lightly despite a 5 lb rise.
Two wins this year but now on a career-high mark in this more competitive race.
17
18th (17) Rizg (50/1 -52%)
Rizg

50
50/1(-52%)
(17) Rizg 50/1, Won sole start as a juvenile and displayed useful form in light 2022 campaign. Missed all of 2023 and too free when well below par in a pair of 6f handicaps at Newcastle and Ascot this summer for Roger Varian. Still needs considering though now starting out for good new yard.
Very lightly raced 5yo; check betting on stable debut, but has something to prove.
3
19th (3) Walbank (25/1 -56%)
Walbank

25
25/1(-56%)
(3) Walbank 25/1, Much improved to land a second career success at Meydan (6f) in January. Shaped well after 6 months off before lack of a recent outing told when fourth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (5f) 46 days ago. Much respected with tongue tie refitted.
Returned from a break with creditable fourth at Glorious Goodwood and could build on that.
11
20th (11) Wodao (40/1 +39%)
Wodao

40
40/1(+39%)
(11) Wodao 40/1, Listed winner in Ireland for Donnacha O'Brien and he got back on track for his new yard when third of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Possibilities.
Fair third at Goodwood on second stable start; needs to build on that and this is hotter.
4
21st (4) Get It (28/1 -12%)
Get It

28
28/1(-12%)
(4) Get It 28/1, Successful at Windsor/Epsom before bagging a big pot in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood. Raced very wide early when fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago so can bounce back.
Disappointing at Windsor but won Stewards' Cup previously; can't be ruled out.
21
22nd (21) Manila Scouse (100/1 -100%)
Manila Scouse

100
100/1(-100%)
(21) Manila Scouse 100/1, Bagged his second win of the season at Chepstow in August but came in last of 13 at Southwell (5f) 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track.
Had wins in June and August this year but soundly beaten the last twice; others preferred.
5
|DQ| (5) Rumstar (17/2 +47%)
Rumstar

8.5
17/2(+47%)
(5) Rumstar 17/2, It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2022 and he failed to build on earlier promise when only fifth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Denied clear run when seventh in the Stewards' Cup and capable of being in the mix.

14:25 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SHAGRAAN showed a likeable attitude when scoring over the minimum trip at Haydock last week. Upped 3lb, the son of Sioux Nation gets the vote to score for last year's winning jockey/trainer combination. Third behind the selection on that occasion, American Affair is entitled to be in the thick of things once more, while each-way players may look to side with Woolhampton. She arrives on the back of a cosy victory over 5f at Ascot recently and, off a 4lb higher mark, she could be staying on when others have cried enough.

This is wide open but the vote goes to COVER UP who brings some rock solid handicap form to the table whilst shaping as though this idiosyncratic trip will prove ideal too. Vintage Clarets has slipped to a very attractive mark and heads the list of dangers on the back of his eye-catching York eighth, although a good case can also be made for American Affair, Bergerac, Shagraan and Apollo One in this ultra competitive Portland.

Bar a heavy defeat in this race last year, ABERAMA GOLD has a fine record at Doncaster and is taken to exploit an attractive mark.

Kinross

2.75
11/4(-22%)
(2) Kinross 11/4, Very smart sort who won the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in 2023 and shaped well in latest renewal of that race when 5 lengths third of 8 to Audience 46 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Won this race in 2022 and he's a major player on these terms.
Tremendous servant, winner of this race in 2022; below best this year; rain would help.

2nd (9) Lead Artist (9/4 +44%)
Lead Artist

2.25
9/4(+44%)
(9) Lead Artist 9/4, Progressive colt who took the next step in his development when overcoming a pace bias to land the Thoroughbred Stakes over 1m at Goodwood last month. Uncomplicated start who can improve again so major claims back in trip.
Just four races (1m); cosy winner of Goodwood Group 3; exciting contender.
5
3rd (5) Shouldvebeenaring (14/1 +44%)
Shouldvebeenaring

14
14/1(+44%)
(5) Shouldvebeenaring 14/1, Acquitted himself well in some Group 1s last year, notably when just denied in the Sprint Cup. Best effort this season when good second in Duke of York at the Dante Meeting (picked up a Group 2 at Deauville) but wasn't really on a "going" day back at Haydock last week.
None too reliable but won Group 3 at Deauville in July and has a chance if on a going day.

Vetiver

25
25/1(+24%)
(6) Vetiver 25/1, Useful fully who bounced back to form to land 8-runner listed race at Chelmsford (7f) in July. Not ideally placed in the Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood since so needs treating as though still in top form. This is a pretty tall order, however.
Listed winner before close fourth in Goodwood Group 3; more needed but going the right way.

5th (1) Poet Master (11/4 +63%)
Poet Master

2.75
11/4(+63%)
(1) Poet Master 11/4, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who cranked it up another notch when landing 6-runner Group 2 at the Curragh in July. Can boast a fine 5-7 strike rate and he's a major player, even with his penalty.
Highly progressive; ran away with Curragh Group 2 last time; major player despite penalty.

Popmaster

(4) Popmaster 40/1, Smart performance when landing listed race at Newbury a year ago and matched that with a huge effort in handicap company at Ascot soon after. Failed to finish better than fifth in a handful of starts in 2024 and this no easy race to bounce back in.
In top form this time last year; running respectably at present but will need career best.

Hasn't made an impact at Group 1 and 2 level of late; others have more obvious claims.

Below-par fifth in Lennox at Goodwood last time; exposed and would be a surprise winner.
7

3-4 for Jason Watson including German Group 3 last time; drying ground might be an issue.

15:00 Doncaster Group 2 (Class 1) 7f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Kinross performed with more credit than the bare result suggests when a running-on third in the Lennox at Goodwood last time and another bold bid is expected. Last-time-out winner Poet Master is another to note, but LEAD ARTIST gets the nod. The progressive three-year-old showed a really likeable attitude when winning the Group 3 Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood last month and should have more to come.

A fascinating clash between established older horses and improving 3-y-os. LEAD ARTIST is in the latter category and given he was value for extra when winning at Goodwood last month, he can take this step up in class in his stride. Kinross won this back in 2022 and is very likely to give it another good go.

Pride of place goes to the well-bred LEAD ARTIST who was having only his fourth run when gaining a cosy Group 3 success at Goodwood.

Jan Brueghel

2.75
11/4(+31%)
(4) Jan Brueghel 11/4, Galileo colt who was a wide-margin winner of a 10-runner maiden at the Curragh on debut and overcame the rise in class/greenness to follow up in 10f Group 3 there. Toughed it out well to maintain his unbeaten record in Gordon Stakes at Goodwood and extra distance promises to suit. Big shout.

Illinois

(3) Illinois 11/4, Progressive sort who proved his stamina for this trip when winning the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. Good second in Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp next time before going down only narrowly in Great Voltigeur at York. Solid claims.
Won Queen's Vase; improved 2nd at 1m4f since, while looking as if return to 1m6f will suit.
5

Sunway

Yet to score this season but took form to another level when ¾-length second in Irish Derby, staying on strongly. Again shaped like a stayer when fourth in King George at Ascot so big run expected stepping up in trip.
Staying-on second in Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good) is his standout performance.

Came good again with two seriously committed front-running rides over 1m6f at the Curragh.
6

Wild Waves

40
40/1(+20%)
(6) Wild Waves 40/1, Looked very progressive when winning first 2 handicaps, latterly over this C&D. Can have a line put through next run (slipped badly) and got back on the up when fourth of 16 in Melrose at York, coming from further back than the trio that beat him. Remains with potential but this is a big ask.
While better than the Melrose Handicap result at York, he has a mountain to climb in this.
7

You Got To Me

6.5
13/2(-18%)
(7) You Got To Me 13/2, Won Oaks Trial at Lingfield on return before making the frame in Oaks at Epsom and Ribblesdale at Ascot. Took another step forward fitted with a tongue strap when winning the Irish Oaks at the Curragh before good second in Yorkshire Oaks. Likely to stay and receives 3 lb from the colts.
Seems to be settling down a bit; galloped on to win Irish Oaks and when Yorkshire Oaks 2nd.

Only just failed back from a break in listed race at Windsor 3 weeks ago but free-going ways is a concern going up in distance. Change of headgear.
Staying-on 4th in the Derby and 2nd in Windsor Listed race; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers.

15:40 Doncaster Group 1 (Class 1) 14f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Illinois landed the Queens Vase over 1m6f at Ascot in June and looks sure to launch a serious challenge having gone close in the Great Voltigeur at York last time, but stablemate JAN BRUEGHEL may prove the one to side with. The unbeaten full-brother to an Irish Derby winner is improving at a rate of knots and beat a subsequent winner when taking the Group 3 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood on only this third outing. Irish Oaks winner You Got To Me was supplemented for this and makes more appeal than Sunway and Grosvenor Square of the remainder.

Aidan O'Brien typically holds a strong hand as he bids for a seventh success in the oldest Classic, while Ralph Beckett tries to win this with a filly once again, but SUNWAY looks the value call. His close second in the Irish Derby puts him right up there in terms of form and the longer distance promises to suit. The unbeaten Jan Brueghel has the most potential in the field and rates the main threat, though stablemate Illinois is also well in the mix on his narrow Great Voltigeur second.

The oldest Classic is probably heading back to Ballydoyle, with ILLINOIS (nap) the tip from Jan Brueghel and Grosvenor Square.

(3) Daysofourlives 10/3, Three-time winner, including over 1¼m. Better than ever in defeat this year, including first home in his group when fourth of 29 in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, firm) in June. Visor off, cheekpieces back on. Considered.
Improving 4yo and can go well providing he's tuned up on return from a break.

Four-time AW winner but has yet to replicate that level of form on turf.

5th (2) Paradias (6/1 +20%)
Paradias

6
6/1(+20%)
(2) Paradias 6/1, Quickly dispelled a lesser effort in the John Smith's Cup when resuming winning ways at Glorious Goodwood (9f) at the beginning of August. Never involved in a big-field race at the York Ebor meeting but the type to bounce straight back.
Capable of a big run off this mark but ideally wants a strong pace (doubtful) to target.

13/2(+13%)
(11) Parlando 13/2, In the form of his life in the Racing League last month, winning at Windsor (good to firm) before second on AW at Newcastle (both 1¼m). No reason why he won't give another good account.
Back in good form and, although edging back up the weights, shouldn't be far away.

King Lear

12/1(-71%)
(7) King Lear 12/1, Useful handicapper who reacted well to a first-time tongue strap (added to cheekpieces) when second of 12 in 11f Southwell Racing League handicap 16 days ago. Nudged up 3 lb for that but still respected.
Recent Southwell second; could have done without the 3lb rise in this stronger company.
10
8th (10) Rathgar (13/2 +19%)
Rathgar

6.5
13/2(+19%)
(10) Rathgar 13/2, Well served by a positive ride back down markedly in trip when successful at Yarmouth (1¼m) in July. Just as good when runner-up at Chepstow (1¼m again) last month but only a respectable seventh of 17 at the York Ebor meeting since. Equipped with first-time cheekpieces.
Has had a solid season and it was a hot handicap in which he ran okay at York last time.

9th (6) Lion Of War (25/1 -56%)
Lion Of War

25
25/1(-56%)
(6) Lion Of War 25/1, Useful handicapper in Britain in the first half of last season. Down the field in a couple of starts in the US at the end of last summer and absent since. Has rejoined Charlie Johnston. The betting should help guide to expectations.
Flashes of smart form and now gelded ahead of this return for Charlie Johnston.

10th (9) Mr King (10/1 -18%)
Mr King

10
10/1(-18%)
(9) Mr King 10/1, Useful for Ger Lyons in Ireland and offered plenty to work on for his new stable when seventh of 18 in 1m York Ebor meeting handicap 23 days, nearest at the finish having been caught too far back. Spencer an unusual booking for the stable. Interesting.
Useful in Ireland and his debut for this yard at York over 1m was encouraging.

16:15 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 10f  Race Class Flow

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

DAYSOFOURLIVES gave the impression a return to this longer trip would suit when finishing strongly for fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup over a mile at Royal Ascot. Marco Botti's four-year-old can resume winning ways off his current mark and edges out Paradias to be the pick. The latter was in the process of running another big race when hampered in a valuable handicap at York last time and can feature, while Penzance spoilt his chance with a tardy start at Yarmouth but caught the eye making late headway and could have a say in proceedings.

PARADIAS didn't have things go his way at York and is worth another chance to show that a 3 lb rise for his Glorious Goodwood success is lenient. Royal Hunt Cup fourth Daysofourlives is second choice ahead of Parlando, who did well in the Racing League last month, and Iain Jardine's Mr King.

A winner at this meeting 12 months ago, LIBERTY LANE might repeat the trick. He's smart on his day and this looks his sort of race.

16:50 Doncaster Maiden (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SCANDINAVIA still displayed signs of greenness when runner-up on his second outing at Newmarket and the son of Justify is expected to shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. Ride The Thunder is likely to progress from his runner-up effort on debut here in July with the extra furlong potentially aiding his cause. Of the newcomers, the most interesting contenders appear to be New York Minute, a 400,000-euro purchase who is a half-brother to a Grade 2 winner in the US, Serviceman and Yabher.

SCANDINAVIA improved plenty on his debut form when second at Newmarket last month and, with further improvement forthcoming, he could take a bit of stopping. Ride The Thunder and Masubi both seem sure to build on promising opening efforts, with Serviceman heading up a handful of interesting newcomers before market clues.

Scandinavia was second at Newmarket but may be vulnerable to MASUBI and Ride The Thunder. The newcomers need a check too.

Johan

18
18/1(-29%)
(1) Johan 18/1, Won the Lincoln here on return in 2022 and enhanced his record fresh when landing last season's Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood. Seen only twice subsequently though, well held in first-named race on his seasonal bow back in March. Undoubtedly capable if bouncing back.
Absent since running poorly here in March when bidding for a second Lincoln win.

(7) Bopedro 11/1, Losing run is mounting up but plenty of good efforts to his name this season, good fifth in Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m) in August. Not in same form in couple of starts since but his mark has eased as a result and he's not dismissed out of hand. Visor back on.
Good chance on plenty of form but has lacked consistency this year.

Ties in with Tolstoy on latest effort; pedigree suggests he should do better still.

Strong at the line then and unlikely he's reached his limit yet. Shortlisted.

Has seemingly been going through the motions of late, keeping on again late when 5½ lengths seventh of 14 to Tolstoy in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 23 days ago. Others stronger.
Not in top form and can be opposed; it's three years since his sole turf win.

(4) Raadobarg 22/1, Losing run stretches back to 2022 and form has largely gone the wrong way in competitive handicaps this term. Better signs reverting to front-running tactics when third of 12 in handicap at Ascot (1m) in July but he wouldn't be certain to reproduce that form this time.
Finished third in this race in 2021; filled the same position at Ascot last time.

Remains less exposed than most and respected for yard who won this 12 months ago.
Has performed well at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood since switched to handicaps.

Completed an AW hat-trick early this year; inconsistent since, mostly on turf.

17:25 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

TREASURE TIME hit the line strongly when producing a career-best performance to win at York last month and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop him from taking another step forward. Native Warrior backed up his Britannia third when finishing second at Goodwood and the son of Wootton Bassett commands plenty of respect once again. Storm Star, Johan and Ouzo head the remainder.

TREASURE TIME gained deserved compensation for his luckless run at Goodwood when successful in a competitive big-field York handicap 3 weeks ago. Notably strong at the line then, he makes plenty of appeal again from his revised mark taking on his elders for the first time. Fellow 3-y-o Native Warrior is another of firm interest, with Mirsky and Tolstoy a pair of the older brigade firmly in the mix also.

The excellent record of 3yos in this race heightens interest in NATIVE WARRIOR, Storm Star, Treasure Time and Magnum Opus.

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.
