The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Tim Easterby and Emily Roberts have successfully teamed up in the last two runnings of this contest, including with Sameem 12 months ago, but he is 5lb higher this time around and has no margin for error under top weight. Brodie Hampson was on the scoresheet at Newbury last week and she can go well aboard CLIFFTOP HEAVEN, who made the frame off this mark when bidding for a hat-trick at Haydock and this may be a little easier. A 2lb rise for a Catterick success doesn't rule Stellarmasterpiece out.

Having made light of an 18-month absence to score at Wolverhampton in May, CLIFFTOP HEAVEN encouragingly backed that up when third at Haydock 2 weeks ago and he makes a good deal of appeal for a stable who do well in these races. Stellarmasterpiece has made a bright start for Micky Hammond and along with last year's winner Sameem, heads up the dangers. Can Can Girl also makes each-way appeal.

Last year's winner SAMEEN has conditions to suit him and is given the vote ahead of the former Polish-trained Stellarmasterpiece.

AN REALTA CARRAIG caught the eye staying on for fourth after a slow start on his debut at Wetherby last week. He is expected to come on for that experience and this extra half a furlong should also suit. Adrian Keatley's colt is narrowly preferred to Lovely Spirit, who travelled well when third at Redcar first time out and the Richard Fahey-trained filly can take a step forward. Karl Burke's Line Of Force looks the pick of the newcomers.

A few of these shaped with promise on their respective debuts without setting the world alight so it may pay to side with a newcomer in the shape of LINE OF FORCE. He appeals on paper for a yard boasting a smashing record with their juveniles and is of real interest before the benefit of market clues. Lovely Spirit, An Realta Carraig and Unthinkable (if taking up this engagement) are next best.

Debutant LINE OF FORCE has major credentials for 6f at 2, whilst An Realta Carraig appeals most of those with experience.

FORO ROMANO stepped forward from his third at Wolverhampton when filling the runner-up spot at Yarmouth and the experience of those performances may well be enough to see George Boughey's colt get off the mark. Sir Palamedes is entitled to improve for the extra furlong based on his fourth at Bath last time, while it will be interesting to see how the market reacts to the chances of newcomer Sunshine State.

FORO ROMANO found improvement when runner-up at Yarmouth last time and may have more to offer yet. He can get off the mark. Cyclonite looks the likeliest danger on form, whilst market support for Charlie Johnston's newcomer Sunshine State could prove significant.

Cyclonite and Sir Palamedes should go well but the well-bred newcomer SUNSHINE STATE could be worth chancing.

WHISTLEJACKET tasted defeat at short odds on his debut over 6f at the Curragh back in April, but he quickly made amends with an impressive victory in Listed company over 5f there most recently, beating the reopposing Arizona Blaze into second. With that effort still fresh in the mind, this full-brother to Little Big Bear gets the vote to emulate his sire, No Nay Never, who took this prize back in 2013. There was little to separate Shareholder (first) and Moving Force (second) when the pair met over 5f at Beverley earlier this month and, with the latter-mentioned 7lb better off on this occasion, it would be no surprise if he were able to get the better of his old adversary and emerge as the main danger to the selection. Tropical Storm and Milford are a couple of others who warrant respect.

It's really hard to escape the claims of WHISTLEJACKET, who is the clear pick on form and can chart a similar path to his very smart brother Little Big Bear in tasting defeat on debut at the Curragh before getting it right on second outing and following up at this meeting. Shareholder runs just 12 days on from his winning start and this costly breeze-up buy is arguably open to the most improvement, with Loom another to consider for each-way purposes.

With his ability to handle a decent surface established, ARIZONA BLAZE can reverse last month's Curragh form with Whistlejacket.

RUN THIS WAY completed a double with plenty up her sleeve over C&D and, with conditions still on the testing side, she can continue to thrive by defying a 7lb rise in her hat-trick bid. Dangers abound in the shape of Canaria Queen, who was only held by a neck when second off this mark over slightly shorter at Wetherby, and Burj Malinka. The latter has been knocking on the door and also likes a bit of cut in the ground.

RUN THIS WAY is thriving and still looks well treated on old form so she's fancied to land the hat-trick. Burj Malinka is an obvious threat down in grade and Canaria Queen is likely to post another solid showing.

Runner-up to Run This Way over C&D last time, HURSTWOOD is taken to reverse the placings on these better terms.

DARK SIDE PRINCE arrives following a hat-trick of C&D victories and a 3lb rise for the latest success doesn't seem likely to stop the seven-year-old from continuing in his current vein of form. Almaty Star remains on the same mark as his second at Lingfield earlier in the month, when one place in front of Harry Brown, and the pair have to enter the reckoning. Emperor Spirit and Rocking Ends are others to consider.

Multiple C&D scorer DARK SIDE PRINCE steps into a higher grade but is clearly thriving and may be able to continue his winning run. Almaty Star and Harry Brown rate the principal dangers.

The veteran Lord Riddiford can go well off his lowly mark but ROCKING ENDS could get a good tow into the race and he's preferred.

Aidan O'Brien's Chantilly heads the early betting after his Newbury third and, as a son of Galileo, the step up in trip may bring some improvement. However, he may struggle to reverse placings with the runner-up from that contest, PONIROS, who also has plenty of scope for benefiting from an extra couple of furlongs and the draw has been kind to the son of Golden Horn. Naval Force is trained by Donnacha O'Brien and was value for further when losing lengths at every bend before staying on to score at Roscommon over shorter and he could go well at a big price if he keeps to the straight and narrow. Going The Distance and Persica are others to consider, though there is a chance they may now be in the grip of the handicapper.

GILDED WATER is improving in leaps and bounds, looking better the further he went when powering clear for an authoritative success at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Representing Royal connections, who landed this prize 12 months ago, he looks sure to be suited by this longer trip and earns the vote on handicap bow. Going The Distance is another of firm interest, with Aidan O'Brien trained-pair Gallantly and Chantilly also respected. French Duke and Poniros complete the shortlist.

Poniros and Fouroneohfever are second and third on the list behind the exciting handicap newcomer GILDED WATER.

EY UP ITS THE BOSS was last seen finishing an excellent third after enduring a luckless passage in a stronger race over C&D and, off an unchanged mark, he should be tough to stop. Last-time-out course winner Garden Oasis may emerge as the main danger, for all that the step up in trip asks a question of him. Hortzadar has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature and, off 2lb below his last winning mark, he cannot be overlooked lightly.

UP THE JAZZ is unexposed at this sort of trip and ran right up to his best when chasing home a rapidly-improving sort at Hamilton (9f) 2 weeks ago. He looks a big player with a repeat taking on his elders for the first time. Ey Up Its The Boss has thrived over C&D since returning in April and is feared most. Hortzadar is lurking on a handy mark and also worth bearing in mind.

It could be worth taking a chance on UP THE JAZZ after his creditable second to an in-form rival when up in trip at Hamilton last time.

Loves Loving displayed her inexperience on debut, breaking slowly from the stalls, when fourth at Goodwood and she may have paid for that in the closing stages. If getting away on terms, the daughter of Expert Eye is more than capable of taking a decent step forward. The vote, though, goes to EHTIRAM. She was beaten at odds-on when returning at Lingfield, but that was an improved effort and she has scope for further improvement. Qamari and Expected Arrival complete the shortlist.

EHTIRAM took another step forward in defeat when runner-up at Lingfield on her return, only edged out by one who had the benefit of a recent run, so she could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Loves Loving is feared most with improvement to come from her debut effort, while Qamari is also one to note upped in trip.

Loves Loving and QAMARI are open to considerable improvement after promising debuts. The latter is marginally preferred.

DIAMOND RAIN may not have been out of place if going for the Oaks last month, but she has been saved for this instead following a taking Listed success at Newbury, where the runner-up has come out and franked the form since. A narrow winner on debut here over 1m, Charlie Appleby's unbeaten filly should have too much for Kalpana, who was a creditable second in Listed company at Newmarket last month and should improve for the step up in trip. You Got To Me has strong claims on her penultimate success at Lingfield, despite being outclassed in the Oaks, and she can uphold form with the reopposing Rubies Are Red (second), and Danielle (third).

The regally-bred DIAMOND RAIN looked a smart prospect when following up her debut win in a Newbury listed event last month and, with scope for plenty more progress over this still longer trip, she's a really appealing candidate. Kalpana has progressed significantly with each run and heads up the opposition, along with You Got To Me, who stuck to her task in admirable fashion when fourth in the Oaks at Epsom.

Diamond Rain could be a top prospect but a chance is taken that RUBIES ARE RED can rediscover her Lingfield Oaks Trial promise.

DAKOTA GOLD is well into the veteran stage but added to his impressive CV when scoring gamely at Redcar, cutting out his own fractions before asserting close home. Upped 4lb, he gets the vote to make every yard a winning one once more. Marine Wave couldn't cope with a runaway winner when third over 5f at Hamilton, but that form has a solid look to it and she is not discounted now stepping back up in trip. Mr Wagyu is also respected after an Epsom near-miss.

Having shaped well in a competitive event at York, DAKOTA GOLD scored with something to spare at Redcar last time and remains with plenty of handicapping scope, so he takes preference over Mr Wagyu, who posted an excellent second at Epsom recently. Manila Scouse is also considered.

Marine Wave ran with more promise at Hamilton and can go well but MR WAGYU (nap) is preferred on the back of a fine run at Epsom.

TARJEEH has clearly had his issues, with just the four career starts, but he ran well to be beaten three lengths into eighth at Windsor on his first appearance of 2024 and looks all set for a big performance off 1lb lower here, assuming nominal improvement. David Simcock's horses are running well and Sniper's Eye could be interesting, despite an absence of close to nine months. C&D winner Wadacre Gomez is another to consider, for a place at least.

ENFJAAR had looked a useful prospect when winning at this course last season, so it would be no surprise to see him get back on track having been gelded ahead of this year's reappearance. With the hood reapplied as he goes up in trip, he can get the better of 4-time C&D winner Wadacre Gomez, with Roxanne completing the shortlist.

The safest option is WADACRE GOMEZ (nap) who seems likely to enjoy an uncontested lead, just as when making all over C&D recently.

The classy KYPRIOS was a popular winner of this in 2022, a campaign which saw him add three further Group 1's onto an already stellar CV. Injury kept him out for much of 2023, but he's been impressive on both of his starts this year, albeit at a lower level, and the son of Galileo can cement his place as the leading stayer once again. Conditions might not be ideal for Trawlerman, who beat the selection here on Champions Day in October before returning with a creditable third in the Dubai Gold Cup in March, but that won't be the case for Coltrane. He defeated Caius Chorister (second) and Sweet William (third) in the Sagaro here last month which should have left him cherry-ripe, while unexposed stayer Gregory and the Willie Mullins-trained Vauban are no back numbers either.

KYPRIOS suffered an interrupted campaign in 2023 but he was a high-class stayer the season before, the first of his 4 Group 1 wins coming in this race, and the way he shaped when winning both starts this term suggests he's as good as ever. He can provide his trainer with a record-extending ninth success, though the Gosden stable has an excellent recent record in this and hold a strong hand once again with Gregory and Trawlerman, who will both be suited by this marathon trip.

Kyprios has been odds-on but was beaten by TRAWLERMAN here last October. Coltrane, Gregory and Vauban need respect.

Filibustering arrives on the back of a career-best performance having romped home over 1m6f at Redcar. However, the combination of an 8lb rise in the ratings and drop in distance may prove his undoing, with preference for fellow last-time-out winner MY NOBLE LORD. Michael Bell's gelding looked more comfortable making all the running at Yarmouth and a 6lb higher mark looks far from insurmountable. Chepstow scorer Continuance isn't easily dismissed either.

MY NOBLE LORD looks progressive and responded well to make all at Yarmouth last time, so he's taken to go in again at a track that suits those tactics. Filibustering and Continuance fit a similar profile having improved to score recently but that pair would be inconvenienced by a steady pace.

Still progressing at a sustainable rate, MY NOBLE LORD is taken to follow up ahead of fellow last-time scorer Continuance.

ORCHIDACEAE comfortably beat a big field in the Curragh and appeals on this step up in trip. She made all before gliding home and there should be more to come from her. There was plenty of money for Booklight before that aforementioned race and she can improve upon her fourth place. Deo Vero has switched to Donnacha O'Brien after shedding her maiden tag in Roscommon for David Geary, so is an obvious threat. Joseph O'Brien's Green Triangle was just half a length behind Deo Vero in second, so has to come into the reckoning. Monotone has more than decent form on testing ground but now encounters quick going, while Live Like The Boss is another to note.

GREEN TRIANGLE ran a cracker on his debut at Roscommon last month and should have learnt plenty from that. He can get off the mark. Orchidaceae and Deo Vero head the list of dangers.

After a major step forward at the Curragh last time, ORCHIDACEAE looks capable of going well with 7f and quicker ground sure to suit

JENSON BENSON loves it here with four career wins, the latest over this trip in February off a mark 4lb higher than his current figure. Fifth here in February when left with a bit too much to do, he can go close on his return from a break. Night Breeze is due to go up 4lb for future contests after his Kempton second and is the obvious danger, despite the rise in class. River Alwen intrigues on his first start since returning from Hong Kong.

NIGHT BREEZE has really found form lately and can go one better than at Kempton last Wednesday. Chourmo has had a good spell at Brighton lately and is second choice ahead of Shaheen Saqaar.

Arguably the most competitive three-year-old handicap of the season and this year's renewal looks as open as ever. Native Warrior scored a shade cosily when opening his account in a maiden at Nottingham last month and makes his handicap bow off what looks a workable mark. The son of Wootton Bassett looks nicely drawn in stall 31 and he must enter the reckoning. However, QIRAT was slightly more taking when overcoming a troubled passage at Goodwood in late May and edges the verdict. A 4lb rise in the ratings for that handicap bow may underestimate Ralph Beckett's charge and another big pot could be headed his way. The hat-trick seeking Volterra isn't taken lightly upped in class, while a first-time visor could eke some improvement out of the Aidan O'Brien-trained Air Commander. Fellow Irish raider Follow Me arrives on the back of a career-best performance having landed the spoils at the Curragh and the Shalaa colt makes more each-way appeal than most.

Kevin Ryan's VOLTERRA has had the form of his Newmarket handicap debut success boosted and might prove the answer to a typically wide-open renewal. The way Qirat stormed home to land a valuable 7f event at Goodwood last month suggests he'll be suited by the step up to 1m and he's second choice. Mickley is another who promises to benefit from 1m and is also shortlisted along with Starlore, who was a big eyecatcher behind Qirat at Goodwood.

There's sure to be a Group horse lurking somewhere and this year it might be COGITATE who is seriously unexposed now into a handicap.

The daughter of Elzaam should relish this greater emphasis on stamina and she ticks the most boxes. The biggest threat may emerge from Evelyn's Phoenix, who has held his form well since beating the selection at Redcar, while Loose Tongue opened her account at Chepstow at the end of May and she likely has more to offer too.

MAMBHA is on the up and shapes like this trip could bring more out of her, so she might be able to get the better of old rival Evelyn's Phoenix. Loose Tongue is another one who arrives on the up and should feature.

A winner with something in hand last time, LOOSE TONGUE's 4lb rise seems pretty fair. Evelyn's Phoenix can chase her home.

This is a drop in class for EASTERN WIND, who loves this track. Two of her three career victories have come in Leopardstown (under jockey James Ryan) and if she is going to bounce back to winning ways, it should be here. Quick ground holds no fears for Oriental Dancer, who could put her best foot forward on her Irish turf debut. Chestnutter won this race last year and although she hasn't been at her best this season, Jamie Powell's 3lb claim has her on a competitive mark so a big run wouldn't be surprising. Notforalongtime's best performances have been on an all-weather surface, but perhaps fast ground will see a better display on turf.

Hard to be too positive about any of these but the assessor has given NOTFORALONGTIME a major chance so he gets the tentative nod. Eastern Wind shaped quite nicely last time and is a threat, along with Mogwli

Hey Lyla kept on well to win by half a length at Hamilton and an added 2lb may not stop another big effort, though the drop back from 1m1f could see her have to settle for a place. BOASTY has won here three times and only went under by a nose and a short head in a photo last time out, so he may prove the one to beat. Running Star has been gelded since his Pontefract third and could improve in first-time cheekpieces.

VALKYRIAN shaped better than the result on her Windsor reappearance and is given a chance to build on that promise. The unexposed Running Star has a handy inside stall and is second choice ahead of Hey Lyla and the thriving Noodle Mission.

Running Star should go well but VALKYRIAN ran well in the face of adversity at Windsor on her return and can exploit a good mark.

Pique' won nicely at Leicester and can figure again, but Almudena disappointed when odds-on at Bath and cheekpieces are applied. Love You Darling struggled in Listed company last time, having earlier repelled a late bid from DIVINE PRESENCE in a novice race at Bath. The latter looks likely to appreciate this extra test of stamina on that evidence, and is taken to reverse the form. This longer trip should also suit Tiptoe, who returns to action having ended last year with a maiden success over the extended mile here.

A small field but an interesting race. PIQUE won quite tidily at Leicester so she gets the vote with further progress likely but it's unlikely she'll get things all her own way as handicap newcomers Divine Presence and Tiptoe likely have more to offer in this sphere, while the fact Almudena went off at short odds on her handicap debut suggests she's thought capable of better than she showed on that occasion.

An interesting race in which recent Leicester winner PIQUE' gets the vote ahead of the Gosdens' handicap newcomer Divine Presence.

King's Gambit won a tough handicap at Newbury in good style on his reappearance. He should prove competitive in this higher grade, but FIRST LOOK brings Group 1 form to the table. Andre Fabre's colt took a big step forward when runner-up in the French Derby at Chantilly, and he seems versatile as regards the going. The Blue Riband Trial winner at Epsom, Bellum Justum struggled in the Derby, but could go well back over this shorter distance, while the Ballydoyle colt Portland is another down in trip after landing a Listed race at Leopardstown. Taraj finished a creditable third in a Group 3 contest at Leopardstown over 1m2f on his return to action, while Bracken's Laugh had the measure of Jayarebe when second in the Dee Stakes at Chester and is another to consider.

KING'S GAMBIT made a mockery of an opening mark of 93 on return at Newbury last month and with further progress on the cards, Harry Charlton's charge is fancied to take the step up to pattern company in his stride at the expense of French-raider First Look, who found only an unbeaten colt too strong in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly. Bracken's Laugh and Taraj (who changed hands for £480,000 on Monday) can fight out third.

Having been so impressive in the London Gold Cup, KING'S GAMBIT (nap) can follow up. Al Musmak is second choice.

TRUE STATESMAN didn't go unbacked when a close fourth in a much higher grade at this track a fortnight ago. He has to be of interest off the same mark of 72, especially as he used to compete off significantly higher ratings in Britain. Expound could be nicely treated with Amy Jo Hayes taking 7lb off his back. His eighth in a massive-field maiden at the Curragh in April stands up to scrutiny as an absolute plethora of winners have come out of that race. In effect, he races off a mark of 68, which is appealing. Rio Largo kept on for fourth on quick ground over C&D this month, which gives him a chance.

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to RIO LARGO, who signalled he was on his way back when fourth over C&D a fortnight ago and is now 3 lb below his last winning mark. Ferrybank had been consistent prior to his latest effort so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Church Mountain and Ranko Express another couple to consider.

Preference is for RAMPAGE, a very good second over C&D last month and with a good draw for a horse that will race prominently

Brindavan faded in the final furlong when attempting to make all at Kempton. He finished a length in front of CAVALLO BAY on that occasion, but the latter was green before running into trouble close home and the Godolphin colt looks likely to improve, with first-time cheekpieces helping him to concentrate on the task at hand. Patrol is upped in distance having failed to threaten over 6f so far, while strong support for newcomers Corpus Juris and Mooeeaz should be noted.

CAVALLO BAY finished a length behind Brindavan on his Kempton debut but inexperience looked a factor for Godolphin's colt on that occasion and he can reverse those placings with an outing under his belt. Newcomers Mooeeaz and Corpus Juris could pose a threat to both if the betting suggests they are fancied.

Brindavan may have finished ahead of CAVALLO BAY at Kempton but it was the Godolphin colt who caught the eye.

Fresh has won here three times, twice over C&D, with the latest off 10lb higher in September 2022, and he showed signs of a return to form when beaten less than two lengths at Haydock last time, but a chance is taken on ALZAHIR. Danny Tudhope rides for David O'Meara, who has four runners, and he might be the jockey's pick after returning with a three-length fourth at Chester, despite pulling too hard and failing to last home. Likely to do better after his first start in eight months, he may be the surprise package. Early favourite English Oak strolled away with a lesser race at Haydock and while he is 9lb higher following that success, Ed Walker's colt is expected to mount a serious challenge.

ENGLISH OAK is another one to be added to Wathnan Racing's burgeoning roster after a most impressive display at Haydock and he's comfortably the most progressive sort in this field, so he's preferred to Divine Libra, who is also going the right way. Awaal has an excellent record fresh and should have been primed for a big run.

English Oak looks to have a bright future but KINGS TIME impressed on his Cork return and is ready for a step up in class.

An incredibly tight handicap, with all the horses rated either 87 or 88. SARA VALENTINA was a ready winner of her maiden over a shorter trip on testing ground at Limerick. She should be effective on better ground over 1m and the sole filly in the field is taken to beat the geldings. Paddy Twomey's Cill Mocheallog has to be respected after battling his way to victory on heavy ground at Gowran Park. Again, better ground ought to suit him. Keithen Kennedy's 7lb claim could come into play on Action Plan, who is the most experienced horse in the race, while Chicago Fireball relished this trip in Gowran Park.

It's likely we haven't seen the best of SARA VALENTINA and she can make a successful handicap bow here. Gowran winner Chicago Fireball is feared msot.

Limerick winner SARA VALENTINA(nap) could well be capable of being effective off a much higher mark than 87 and will take beating

BAKERSBOY has done well since joining the Alice Haynes stable and he must hold every chance if building upon a strong effort at Nottingham, where he was only beaten half a length in fourth. The six-year-old has dropped to a mark 20lb below his sole career victory, which came over this C&D, and he may have too much for the veteran Stormingin, who was an good second when bidding for a double at Chelmsford last time out. Dillydingdillydong and Forever Proud are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

BAKERSBOY hasn't taken long to revive for a new yard, going close on just his second start since the switch last week, and makes the most appeal here. Dillydingdillydong and Stormingin are dangers.

His strike-rate is modest but BAKERSBOY has not been with his current stable long and was beaten under 1l when fourth last week.

There was little between runner-up Thanks Dad and Respectable Jack when filling the places at Chelmsford back in April. Highland Olly placed at Beverley last month, but failed to show any progress back at the same venue, while Gaiety Musical drops down in distance on the back of a debut second over a mile at Leicester and she may figure. SYNTHESIZE finished a respectable third at Salisbury on her introduction and she gets a speculative vote, with this surface likely to suit.

Despite going off at very unflattering odds, GAIETY MUSICAL showed plenty to work on when second at Leicester a fortnight ago and with improvement likely, she can overcome a double-figure draw. The return to the AW will suit Thanks Dad and he's a threat, along with Synthesize.

An open race in which the vote goes to SYNTHESIZE, who made a promising start when third behind a useful rival at Salisbury last month.

CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE has been performing creditably in better class races since making the breakthrough in Navan last month. Placed efforts at this venue and in Roscommon bode well for her prospects in this basement-grade handicap. Mayo For Sam brought up plenty of bets when grabbing her first victory over further in Navan. An 8lb rise shouldn't prevent her from being heavily involved as she was well in charge that day. Nibras Rainbow was in a consistent vein of form during a spell at Dundalk and is interesting returning to turf off a break, while Shining Aitch is capable of landing a cheque for Tom McCourt.

BEST LAW is a potential improver in handicaps this year so gets the vote up against mostly exposed types. Mayo For Sam arrives on the back of an impressive win at Navan and is next best ahead of Nibras Rainbow.

Cleopatra's Needles may struggle to confirm Navan form with MAYO FOR SAM who's not been badly treated for her win at the same venue

A comfortable winner when stepped up to this trip at Chelmsford earlier in the month, ROYAL PRAISE could have plenty more improvement to come and a 2lb rise for that success looks manageable. Not beaten far at Salisbury last time out, Midnight Rumble can give the selection the most to think about, along with Beat The Clock, who was only worn down late in the piece when a neck third at Wolverhampton in January.

ALPEN POWER is looking better on the AW and could reverse Chelmsford form with Royal Praise. Midnight Rumble and Worrals are also considered in a competitive 3-y-o contest.

The Ralph Beckett-trained filly WORRALS could improve for the step up in trip on this second handicap start and she earns the vote.

Eva Rosie can be forgiven her latest effort when switched to turf at Musselburgh at the start of the month and she is better judged on her efforts prior, having knocked on the door on several occasions on the all-weather. However, THEY produced her best effort to date, despite not appearing to handle the track, when third in a Ripon handicap and she may have more to offer. Lightning Bay and Flying Panther complete the shortlist.

THEY reacted really well to cheekpieces when third at Ripon 3 weeks ago, and on that evidence, she's capable of winning at this level. Flying Panther hasn't been with James Owen long and is an obvious threat, with Inexplicable another to consider.

The vote goes to dual AW winner FLYING PANTHER, who didn't get much luck here last time and has leading claims on these terms.

DOCTOR GRACE could add a turf success to her couple of Polytrack victories. This Buratino filly posted two very solid recent efforts when beaten a neck into second at Cork and when a fair fourth at Navan. The last time Billy Lee partnered her, the duo were victorious at Dundalk in February 2023. Comfort Line was collared in the closing stages of a C&D handicap last week and finished third, so that run entitles him to be right on the premises. Tiffany Mae is one to watch in the market as she tries this trip for the first time, while Smaoineamh Sile is returning from a lengthy break but did win this race two years ago.

DOCTOR GRACE is well treated and hasn't been having the rub of the green, so it's worth taking the chance that everything drops right for her here. Comfort Line arrives on the back of a good third in a big field over C&D a week ago and looks an obvious danger, while Tiffany Mae is worthy of respect.

Preference is for TIFFANY MAE, who shaped at Gowran as though the trip would suit and can go close if the bad draw is negated

SPIRIT OF LEROS showed plenty of promise on debut at Ascot when staying on for fifth behind a smart newcomer of Richard Hannon's and, with improvement expected, the son of No Nay Never may be able to break the maiden on the rise in distance. Pit Boss has run with credit on both career outings thus far and he could be thereabouts, as well as Leyhaimur and newcomer Seagolazo.

A weak-looking novice but at least SPIRIT OF LEROS showed something to work on when fifth at Ascot and he can put that experience to good use. Seagolazo is a newcomer to note being out of a half-sister to Mehmas, while Pit Boss is a player on form.

This can go to SPRIT OF LEROS, who made a pretty good start to his career over 5f at Ascot last month.

NIGHT LARK's best performance came on her debut when fourth at Newbury in April and both efforts since, when finishing down the field back at Newbury and at Kempton, have suggested she will be more at home when stepping up in trip. An opening mark of 66 doesn't appear to be insurmountable and she can strike in a contest lacking depth on paper. Muttasil is capable of being in the mix, while Cadogan Gardens may have needed the run at Windsor and is entitled to step forward.

MUTTASIL advanced his form when fourth at Nottingham a fortnight ago, and having been eased 1 lb, he now looks ready to strike. Night Lark and Garden View both promise to be suited by this trip and head the opposition.

Only MUTTASIL and Garden View arrive off the back of a solid recent effort. The unexposed Night Lark should do better.

EPHESUS has done enough in his first two outings to suggest a win isn't far away. He began with a third place over a shorter trip in Dundalk and took the runner-up berth when tried over an extended 1m4f in Chester. He holds a Group 2 entry for next month. Teofimo was just pipped by a head over a similar trip in Fairyhouse. That was a marked improvement on his unplaced debut run here, so he is dangerous. Blackpool, a stablemate of Ephesus, gets blinkers on his first attempt at this trip. His third in Navan wasn't devoid of ability at all. Rosso was a somewhat remote fourth on debut at the Curragh and should improve.

EPHESUS improved on his debut form, that despite possibly making his effort earlier than ideal, when runner-up in a Chester maiden 6 weeks ago, and with further progress on the cards he looks sure to play a big part. His stablemate Blackpool is another open to further progress and feared, along with Teofimo.

BLACKPOOL should relish this step up in trip on quick ground and he could to catch if he gets loose on the front end with blinkers on

PORFIN landed a similar event in comfortable fashion at Yarmouth last Thursday and this looks an excellent opportunity to repeat the dose, especially with Cononor Planas taking off a handy 3lb. Essme, who has found some consistency in recent starts, is a player judged on her C&D third last time out. The application of first-time cheekpieces could eke out a little extra too and she is preferred to Gilt Edge for the silver medal.

Little to choose between most of these but PORFIN made his first start in 0-50 company a winning one at Yarmouth last week and is taken to follow up. Scramble and Essme head the dangers.

Today's drop back in trip is the right move for RUN CMC, who looked stretched by 1m in two recent handicaps.

Having improved with each appearance this season, SUGARLOAF LENNY looks ready to strike. The William Knight-trained gelding arrives on the back of a close-up second at Newbury and a reproduction of that performance may prove sufficient. Baroque Buoy is only 2lb higher than last month's runner-up effort at Kempton and he is feared most, ahead of Made All, who posted his best effort to date when finishing third at Ripon.

BAROQUE BUOY has really advanced his form in handicaps, finding only one too good again at Kempton a month ago having been forced to race wide both times, and the strong feeling is that he can win from this mark. Sugarloaf Lenny and Made All are potential threats.

With his two Kempton seconds well advertised since, BAROQUE BUOY (nap) is preferred to last Thursday's second Sugarloaf Lenny.

Willie Mullins holds a very strong hand as he saddles both WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER and Pink In The Park. The former is a Grade 3 novice hurdle winner who also showed gears in bumper company. She ought to be a major player on her return to action. Pink In The Park hasn't been at her best in high quality NH company this year, but a spin here could reinvigorate her. Somptueux is more than adept on better ground and has John Gleeson's assistance for the first time. Votre Homme was runner-up in last season's Ulster Cesarewitch at Down Royal, which shows what he can do over a staying trip.

WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER won a 2m Grade 3 novice hurdle last autumn and might prove up to the task on her Flat debut. Her stablemate Pink In The Park is also pretty useful over timber and heads the dangers along with Votre Homme and Open To Question.

It might be worth chancing OPEN TO QUESTION back on the Flat with a new trip likely to help and his Flat experience could be an asset

Marlay Park was able to finish a creditable fourth in a warm 0-100 at Epsom last month. Eased 1lb in the ratings and making his second start following wind surgery, he must be respected. That said, recent C&D winner YANTARNI remains competitively treated from a 6lb higher mark and the son of Dubawi shades preference. Love De Vega is also noted.

YANTARNI built on the promise of his previous starts this season when scoring in good style over C&D 19 days ago and remains well treated on old form. He can go in again. Sir Oliver is next best ahead of Love de Vega.

One with huge potential is SO QUIET, who contested a hot race on his handicap debut and was unlucky not to finish closer than eighth.

Lady Nagin scored a shade cosily at Lingfield and she warrants respect off only 4lb higher. However, Adam West's filly hasn't proven the most consistent in the past and she may be worth taking on, with USTATH getting the verdict. The eight-year-old arrives on the back of a close-up second over 6f at this venue and a 10th career victory could be on the cards. Better is expected from Wakai Umi, who is reverting to the all-weather.

USTATH hasn't been the most consistent in recent months, but he went close to ending a losing run over 6f here 16 days ago and, with the drop in trip unlikely to hold any fears, he could be worth chancing from a handy draw. Lingfield-scorer Lady Nagin and Wakai Umi are others to consider.

This isn't stacked with 5f specialists. WAKAI UMI is fancied to turn the tables on Lady Nagin from Lingfield on these better terms.

That said, if the selection was to duel with other likely pace angle Safari Dream up front, then it could play into the hands of Parisiac and he is worth considering.

SPRING IS SPRUNG showed his best form for some time when ending a long losing run at Pontefract 10 days ago and has obvious claims off the same mark. Safari Dream went close at Windsor recently and is feared most.

Without a penalty for his front-running win at Pontefract ten days ago, SPRING IS SPRUNG (nap) can dominate again.

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.
