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

As the only one with an official rating, BITS AND BOBS sets a good standard from a mark of 80 and, as his dam is a half-sister to a winner over this trip, Andrew Balding's colt is the first one to note in an open-looking novice stakes. This may provide an ideal stepping stone towards his big sales race entries later in the campaign. Prepschool and Mister Daydream head the list of dangers.

The pick of several plausible candidates is PREPSCHOOL, who duly stepped up on his debut effort when just touched off by a decent type over 7f at Epsom and this stiffer test promises to serve as a catalyst for further improvement. American Glory and Mister Daydream both possess very similar profiles and are feared most in that order of preference, while cases can also be made for Bits And Bobs and Flying Fetcher.

An open-looking novice event on the bare figures. PREPSCHOOL gets the percentage call ahead of American Glory.

There are plenty of well-bred individuals in the line-up, notably London City, by Justify out of Winter, who was a dual-Classic heroine amongst other successes at the highest level. Juddmonte field two very interesting runners in Formal Display, who is closely related to Time Test, and SETTLEMENT, who gets the vote. It seems very noteworthy that Dermot Weld opts to run the latter, especially being a filly, and the fact she has a Moyglare entry suggests she has been doing plenty right ahead of her first career start.

A race full of newcomers and it should prove to be an above-average maiden with several entered for big races. Dewhurst-entry LONDON CITY looks the obvious one being out of 1000 Guineas/Irish 1000 Guineas winner Winter. Juddmonte-pair Settlement and Formal Display are other likely types, though the market will be informative.

Aidan O'Brien took this 12 months ago with the market leader and LONDON CITY, with his top-level entries, makes obvious appeal.

After strolling home in the Chester Vase, Arrest struggled to make an impact on faster ground in both the Derby and the King Edward VII, but the son of Frankel could bounce back with the weather forecast in his favour. Kemari returned to winning ways in the Fred Archer at Newmarket, but he isn't absolutely certain to back that performance up and the vote goes to KLONDIKE. William Haggas' colt wasn't best positioned to challenge in the Bahrain Trophy following a slow start and he remains capable of much better.

Four of the last 6 runnings have gone the way of a 3-y-o and the younger generation can come to the fore again, with ARREST taken to resume his progression now away from firmish ground. Klondike could easily have more to offer after only 3 starts and is second choice ahead of Godolphin's Kemari.

Supporters of ARREST had their fingers burned in the Derby and the King Edward VII but good to firm ground was a reasonable excuse.

This represents a drop in grade for the largely unexposed DIVINE LIBRA after a strong placed effort over C&D last month and the three-year-old can take advantage in this unique handicap. Not in action since scoring at Lingfield in February, Celtic Champion is a key player, along with Music Society, who has been running into form of late. 2021 winner Mitrosonfire is another to note, as well as Magical Max and Mister Bluebird.

CELTIC CHAMPION has been absent since February but he impressed when doubling his career tally at Lingfield on that occasion and, appealing as being on a handy mark returned to turf, Andrew Balding's 3-y-o remains one to be positive about. Magical Max belatedly cashed in on his much-reduced mark over 7f here in June and he can also figure with a 56-day break no problem. Low-mileage Divine Libra, Silver Samurai and last year's winner Strike complete the shortlist.

This year's race for greys has attracted a particularly competitive field. DIVINE LIBRA is the selection ahead of Strike.

Cuban Slide should benefit from this step up in trip, while Richard Fahey obviously holds Tropical Island in high regard, having pitched her at a similar level at Goodwood 17 days ago. However, GOVERNMENT CALL got better the further he went when getting off the mark in a Sandown maiden nine days ago and a quick follow-up is very possible from this progressive-looking colt.

GOVERNMENT CALL scored in ready style at Sandown earlier in the month and with this step up to 6f looking a big plus he is taken to defy a 4 lb penalty in this fair juvenile novice. The Coffee Pod rates a big threat though if, as expected, building on his debut third at Nottingham. Tropical Island has the form to play a part and needs factoring in too.

There's not much to separate these on RPRs. GOVERNMENT CALL has the rail draw and Eve Johnson Houghton is in form, so he gets the nod.

There has been plenty to like about OLIVERS TRAVELS' two victories in bumpers and Peter Bowen's gelding should take some stopping if taking to hurdles at the first time of asking. Harel Du Marais wasn't disgraced when finishing third on his handicap debut over C&D and may put his experience to good use to give the selection most to think about. Here Comes Georgie and Belle Of Annandale are other jumping newcomers who are worth noting.

OLIVERS TRAVELS has impressed in bumpers and looks to have been found a good opportunity to continue his winning sequence on hurdle debut. Harel du Marais has had a fair few chances now but is an obvious threat on form, while Here Comes Georgie isn't dismissed lightly having shown promise in a Kelso bumper back in the spring.

Having finished runner-up in an Irish point and then won two bumpers, OLIVERS TRAVELS makes plenty of appeal on his hurdling debut.

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

Dagoda has strong claims on the pick of her form but she has had 23 previous attempts without success and it could pay to take her on again. Lady Fox lost the race in the stewards' room on debut and should appreciate this step up in trip after a well-held fifth at Tipperary last week, but APPLE A DEY stayed on past her for third that day and could be the one to side with. That was a big improvement on her first effort and Henry de Bromhead's filly should have more to offer, with the extra furlong very much in her favour. Double Jabbed and Paradise Perfect are others to consider in a tricky contest.

DOUBLE JABBED wasn't seen to best effect last time and had found only a class dropper too good on her penultimate start, so she's well worth another chance in an ordinary maiden. Wooden Head remains open to improvement, with standard-setter Dagoda and Apple A Dey others to consider.

An unappealing betting race. LADY FOX edges preference in the hope that she can replicate her debut form at Navan.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

SWIFT ASSET has been in fine fettle on his most recent outings, including when scoring at Bath on his penultimate start, and Richard Hannon's colt warrants plenty of respect in his bid for a third career victory. Rod Millman boasts two solid chances with Woolhampton, a winner at Ascot last time, and Four Adaay, who has the services of Oisin Murphy in the saddle once again. Others to note include Harry Brown and Katey Kontent.

A well-run race over a stiff 5f brought out the best in LIBRA TIGER at Sandown and he still looks attractively handicapped following a 5 lb rise in the weights, despite a below-par showing at Windsor on Thursday. Swift Asset and Four Adaay are others to note in a competitive sprint handicap.

Woolhampton is solid to go well but HARRY BROWN is better than the bare results of his recent turf runs and is preferred.

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

The key to this race could be the recent clash between NATIVE MELODY (first) and Tenrai (second) at Lingfield, with the former taken to come out on top once more. Gay Kelleway's charge has shown steady improvement throughout this season and she could go on to better things. The consistent Star Start and Redcar winner Pete The Brief are entitled to be thereabouts.

PETE THE BRIEF improved under a more positive ride at Redcar a week ago and, if he gets the longer trip, he should be able to follow up for all that this looks quite a competitive affair for the grade. Native Melody and Tenrai, who fought out the finish at Lingfield a week ago, are also likely to be involved.

The suggestion is PETE THE BRIEF, whose strength at the finish over 1m at Redcar suggests there could be more to come from him at 1m2f.

ARRAY may have been turned over at very short odds when making his second start at Goodwood, but that could turn out to be a hot maiden and he should be able to strike in much calmer waters on this occasion. Robbo offered some encouragement on debut, also at the Glorious meeting but newcomer Hand Jive, a half-brother to the stable's Coventry winner Buratino, might pose the biggest danger.

ARRAY is the clear form pick after 2 runner-up efforts on his first 2 starts, and he's going to be tough to beat. Hand Jive is the interesting newcomer.

Juddmonte colt ARRAY is taken to open his account. Newcomer Hand Jive is feared most.

Nigel Tinkler offers solid options in the shape of recent York winner Roundhay Park and GOLDEN DUKE, with the latter appealing most on the back of a couple of improved efforts. The high draw looks beneficial, given his versatility with regards to running style and, assuming he is live to the stalls procedure today, he could easily take full advantage. Asadjumeirah and Cooperation also command respect, while course specialist Fortamour is dangerous to ignore.

A chance is taken on HOLBACHE, who caught the eye shaping much better than the bare result on last month's return at York. Thornaby Pearl and Roundhay Park are just a couple of potential threats in a fiercely competitive event.

Roundhay Park and Mark's Choice are greatly respected but PRINCE OF BEL LIR still looks well treated after his Salisbury win.

A DIFFERENT KIND has relished the return to this sort of trip and a 4lb rise for his latest triumph at Uttoxeter may not be enough to prevent the six-year-old from completing a hat-trick. Champ De Gane often runs his race but has yet to get his head in front, with a bigger threat perhaps emerging in the shape of Silver Sheen, who enjoys an 11lb pull with the selection on his runner-up effort last time out.

A DIFFERENT KIND has got better with each start over fences, landing back-to-back novices' handicaps at Uttoxeter last month and he could well be the way to go in the hat-trick bid. Champ de Gane may emerge as the chief threat.

This could pan out as at Uttoxeter last month, with Silver Sheen's pacesetting teeing things up for A DIFFERENT KIND.

The progressive Youcrackmeup regained the winning thread on the opening day of the Galway Festival last month, but a 10lb rise may be enough to thwart the Cracksman filly's challenge for a third success. Three-year-old handicap debutants SUGAREE and Esquiline make most appeal entering this sphere, with the former, a comfortable winner at Leopardstown in June, shading the verdict. Marvelosa also enters calculations now reunited with apprentice Jack Kearney, who was on board for her maiden success at Sligo and claims a handy 7lb here.

SUGAREE has improved with each of her three starts, most recently landing a Leopardstown maiden in decisive fashion, and she earns the vote with further progress on the cards now pitched into a handicap. The progressive Youcrackmeup is greatly respected, despite going up 10 lb for her recent Galway success, while No Niki No is third choice ahead of Marvelosa.

A tight handicap. MARVELOSA ran well last time behind one who wasn't disgraced at the Shergar Cup.

CLASSIC took the step forward required to get his head back in front at Sandown and the form of that contest has worked out nicely, with the runner-up Novus improving in two subsequent outings at Glorious Goodwood, and the fifth winning comfortably at Newmarket last week. A 2lb rise may prove to be lenient and he gets the vote at the expense of Open Mind, who placed at Chelmsford last time, and Top Secret.

LYNDON B is likely in better form than this season's mid-field finishes suggest and might be able to capitalise on a mark which is 2 lb below the one he went very close from in a big-field race over C&D on his final start last year. Spangled Mac has shaped well in some very strong Ascot handicaps lately and is second choice ahead of Classic and Bless Him.

3yo CLASSIC (nap) got back on track with a Sandown win last month and he can follow up off only 2lb higher. Popmaster is a danger.

The relatively unexposed SEALINE has shaped on a couple of occasions as though a step up in distance could bring out the best in him and he gets that opportunity now. The three-year-old is bred to get this trip and he may have too much for talented C&D winner Shimmering Sands, and Come Together, who must be of interest on his first start for new connections.

SEALINE hasn't had much racing and looks a potential improver back up in trip for his handicap debut, so he's worth chancing. Lexington Knight should be back on his game away from heavy ground and Come Together is an interesting one starting out for a new yard.

Bar an excusable blip on the AW, SHIMMERING SANDS has a mostly progressive profile. It was a good run at York latest.

EXPENSIVE QUEEN may have finished fifth in Listed company at Sandown last time out, but the form of that race looks very strong and a mark of 82 could prove lenient on her nursery debut. She is narrowly preferred to Lady Wulfrun, who got off the mark with a determined success over C&D last week. Buttercross Flyer and Crocus Time are key players on the form they have shown as well.

LADY WULFRUN was well suited by the step up in trip when opening her account over C&D last week and is selected to defy a 6 lb higher mark with further progress on the cards. Lincoln Legacy and Expensive Queen look most interesting of the opposition.

Improving filly LADY WULFRUN (nap) has strong claims. Solid-looking handicap debutante Crocus Time is feared most.

LAKOTA BLUE was a more than respectable second at Glorious Goodwood earlier this month, despite not getting the clearest of runs, and a 2lb rise may not be enough Nigel Tinkler's progressive three-year-old landing this prestigious event. Summerghand has a brilliant race-record in the month of August in past seasons and hinted at a return to form when fourth at York last month. Wobwobwob has a first-time visor fitted and must be respected now dropped back in trip.

Plenty with chances but it's hard to side against last year's Ayr Gold Cup hero SUMMERGHAND who signalled he's ready to go in again when a promising fourth to Aberama Gold at York (form been franked) and can make amends for an unlucky fourth in this event 12 months ago. Cairn Gorm arrives on the up and could emerge as the chief threat to David O'Meara's handily-weighted veteran with Monsieur Kodi, Dream For Gold and Live In The Moment completing the shortlist in a cracking Great St Wilfrid.

Sophia's Starlight is improving fast but so is MONSIEUR KODI (nap) and Richard Fahey's 4yo was impressive at Goodwood last time.

LIVERPOOL KNIGHT has proved a different proposition since returning to hurdling last month, with Olly Murphy's gelding appearing on a fair mark now tackling a handicap in this sphere for the first time. Well Planted is only 5lb higher for his recent C&D triumph and can't be discounted in his current mood. Too Friendly beat Castel Gandolfo in a competitive affair at Market Rasen and both are likely to be involved at the finish too.

This represents a much tougher task than that which LIVERPOOL KNIGHT has faced in winning novice events at Uttoxeter the last twice, but he's unexposed in this sphere and may well have more to offer now pitched into a handicap off a reasonable mark. Too Friendly outpointed Castle Gandolfo at Market Rasen last month and is taken to again get the better of that rival and emerge as the main danger.

In what looks quite a competitive handicap TOO FRIENDLY is taken to confirm Market Rasen placings with Castel Gandolfo.

HENRY LONGFELLOW burst to prominence in the ante-post markets for next year's Classics when making a sparkling beginning to his career over C&D, and the impeccably-bred son of Dubawi and the brilliant Minding can give Aidan O'Brien a remarkable 16th victory in this contest. The champion trainer is also represented by Galway winner Portland, although he has been beaten by both Spanish Flame and Islandsinthestream. The latter was particularly impressive over track and trip and could be the primary threat to the Ballydoyle dominance.

The well-bred HENRY LONGFELLOW, who looked good when making a winning start to his career in a C&D maiden last month, is taken to provide the Aidan O'Brien yard with its sixteenth success in this Group 2 contest. Spanish Flame gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of the selection's stablemate Portland and the promising Islandsinthestream.

Chindit hit the woodwork in the Lockinge before going on to finish a creditable sixth in the Queen Anne. Those efforts set a clear form standard, but he was a well-held eighth in this last year and the winner JUMBY is preferred. The son of New Bay warmed up for his title defence with a good second in the Criterion at Newmarket (Pogo just behind in third), and this has likely been the target all along. The latter also merits respect, along with Marbaan, who arrives on the back of a solid third in the Lennox.

One of the top 7f races in the calendar in Britain and last year's winner JUMBY looks to have serious claims of repeating that feat having been freshened up since his runner-up effort in the Criterion at Newmarket. Eve Johnson Houghton is enjoying plenty of success this month and her 5-y-o can get the better of Chindit, who is most probably having his last race before embarking on a career at stud in India. Possible front-runner Pogo and Marbaan can do battle for third spot.

C&D Group 3 winner CHINDIT has been placed in the last two runnings of the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes here and he earns the vote.

VULTAR may have a 380-day absence to overcome, but he was behind a subsequent Group 3 winner on his debut at Nottingham last August and, with plenty of improvement expected, he can get off the mark in this winnable contest. Purple Love ran a career-best at Newmarket earlier in the month and looks to be the main danger, along with Newcastle second Gotta Show Me. Newcomer Mountain Flower and Initio are both capable of being in the shake-up.

After 11 months off, PURPLE LOVE left her previous efforts behind when beaten only by a pair of well-connected fillies at Newmarket 15 days ago, so she can take another step forward to open her account. Gotta Show Me also showed much improved form on her latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Vultar.

Having exceeded market expectations with her bold show at Newmarket 15 days ago, PURPLE LOVE has put herself into pole position in this.

Greysful Storm ran very well when second over 1m4f at Ascot last time and the winner of that race has since franked the form by running with credit in Listed company subsequently, but upped 2lb in the ratings, she may be vulnerable to some better-treated rivals such as MISTRESSOFILLUSION. Ralph Beckett's filly made a mockery of her opening handicap mark over 1m4f at Kempton on her previous outing and she appears likely to defy a 5lb rise. Hat-trick seeking Night Sparkle should also be taken seriously.

If there's one in this line-up which could be well ahead of its mark it's surely MISTRESSOFILLUSION, who won readily in novice company recently and can follow up on handicap debut for the very much in-form Ralph Beckett stable. Fellow 3-y-o Grand Providence is second choice ahead of the thriving Night Sparkle.

Staying on well over 1m4f on good to soft at Ascot last time suggests that this race is a suitable target for GREYSFUL STORM.

David Allan is again onboard and, running off the same mark as last year, looks the most likely winner. Last week's Haydock winner Ugo Gregory has been raised 6lb for that victory and looks the chief threat along with Purple Gown, who makes his first start for Adam Nicol having shaped well for Jim Bolger in Ireland.

CHALLET continues to shape better than the bare result so is worth another chance off his current mark returned to a track where he has a good record. Dunar Glory and Ugo Gregory are both having good seasons so they head the dangers.

The vote goes to CHALLET who is well treated on last year's form and is ideally drawn at a track where he has tasted success before.

The booking of Brian Hughes to ride last-start Hexham second Jimmy Rabbitte catches the eye, but he may have to settle for another place if RIVER OF JOY continues to progress. She has won her last two starts, over two miles at Ffos Las and two and a half miles at Southwell when running on strongly, suggesting this step up in trip may suit on her handicap bow. Red Happy drops in class on his return to hurdles and could be a surprise package.

RIVER OF JOY looks the way to go here given she starts life in handicaps on a lenient mark despite bagging a pair of novices at Ffos Las and Southwell this summer. In-form pair Dalileo and Petite Rhapsody appeal as the pick of the rest and can chase home Peter Bowen's improving mare in that order.

The choice is DALILEO, who hasn't won for a while but acts on soft ground and has been in good form over C&D recently.

Aidan O'Brien has won this with some classy types down the years, including Magical and Rhododendron, and the master of Ballydoyle can enhance that record with PEARLS AND RUBIES. Having won at Navan on her debut, she was then narrowly denied by Snellen in the Chesham. She continues to improve with racing, evidenced by her good second in the Anglesey last time, so she ought to be more than capable of reversing the Royal Ascot form with further progress on the cards. Others to note include Dollerina and Betula.

SAKTI shaped with lots of encouragement when runner-up in a strong-looking maiden at Leopardstown on her debut last month and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, she's worth siding with to go one better up in grade. Vespertilio, Pearls And Rubies and Snellen are a trio of credible rivals however, while Dollerina shouldn't be taken lightly, either.

It could pay to chance DOLLERINA, who was doing all her best work late in the day when chasing home a Group filly here in June.

Ralph Beckett has been in irresistible form recently and he could continue that trend with FARIZIO. By Dubawi out of a Frankel mare, there is enough to suggest this initial test of stamina will suit, for all that he is likely to come into his own over further. Navy Jack (second) had the benefit of previous experience when finishing ahead of Highland Spring (fourth) at Sandown, but William Haggas' colt could reverse that form with improvement on the cards. Fire Demon is also noted.

NAVY JACK stepped up on debut when beaten only by a smart prospect at Sandown and makes the most appeal with further progress likely. Dancing Gemini is worth another chance to build on debut back in calmer waters so is next best ahead of Highland Spring, who was just under 2 lengths behind the selection at Sandown on debut.

Some interesting newcomers but there's decent form on show and HIGHLAND SPRING should be all the wiser for his Sandown experience.

ASTAR looks the best option as the forecast deluge over Tramore will not inconvenience her at all. She has been placed in her last five starts, including when runner-up on heavy ground at Galway last October. Her latest outing also came in Ballybrit last month where she took the runner-up berth in a testing-ground handicap. The horse behind her in third won on her next start in Galway. The form of Aird's opening fifth in Leopardstown has been very well franked. She has been placed over this trip in the Curragh and looks a contender. Delicate Girl is going the right way and finished second in Galway on her third outing, although she may not want the ground to get too deep. As Fast As Wind has changed stables, but has shown more than enough to be competitive.

DELICATE GIRL has improved with each of her three starts to date and, having chased home a potentially a useful type at Galway recently, she is taken to go one better here. She certainly won't get things all her own way, given that Astar has been knocking firmly on the door and should gain a deserved first taste of success before long, while both Aird and As Fast As Wind have also shown enough to suggest that they are capable of winning races.

SQUEALER produced one of his better efforts when beaten just one and three quarter lengths into third over 5f at Haydock and he is fancied to have a change of fortunes. Nigel Tinkler's charge runs off the same mark here and appears likely to go close again. Look Out Louis is back down on a dangerous mark should he return to form, while Rhythm N Hooves deserves a closer look.

Royal Ascot winner RHYTHM N HOOVES has already shown a capacity to bounce back and he's fancied to do so here, still appealing as one to keep on the right side of from this kind of mark despite a slightly disappointing display last time. Look Out Louis produced his best effort of the season when fourth at Musselburgh last time and is particularly well treated if able to build on that, whilst the free-going Squealer arrives in good heart and can make the frame once more.

BARROLO has been an ultra-consistent performer in handicap company this term and another bold bid can be expected. Grant Tuer's charge won more cosily than the neck winning distance would suggest at Musselburgh and this step up in trip could squeeze out more improvement. Bailar Contigo is feared most after being just touched off over 1m1f at Lingfield last time, while Leitrim Rock can get involved on his handicap bow.

Not for the first time, OUTGUN shaped better than the bare result when fourth in a Newbury handicap that rates strong form 4 weeks ago and, with the increase in trip rating a likely plus, Alan King's charge is fancied to prove his mark a workable one. Lady of Arabia should appreciate the return to further and is feared along with another thriving sort Barrolo. Leitrim Rock, on handicap debut, is also respected in a hot 3-y-o contest.

Granted better fortune OUTGUN looks capable of getting off the mark. Ranger Thunderbolt is second choice.

PREMIERSHIP got off to the perfect start when scoring on his first run for Michael Wigham at Yarmouth earlier this month and although having a first attempt over this distance, his running style suggests it shouldn't be an issue. Little Ted is a dual C&D winner and looks sure to appreciate going back up in trip, whilst Lechro bolted up over further at Beverley last time and could prove hard to catch if allowed a soft lead.

The vote goes to PREMIERSHIP, who failed in his hat-trick bid at Redcar in May but resumed his progression when making a winning start for this yard at Yarmouth recently. A 4 lb rise for that doesn't look at all harsh and he promises to be suited by this stiffer test. Conversely, Lechro drops back in trip following a wide-margin success at Beverley but, even though she has an 8 lb higher mark and quicker ground to contend with, she is a big threat. Cabinet Maker also merits respect.

Premiership's stamina isn't assured, especially if it rains, and two-time C&D winner LITTLE TED is a sporting alternative.

Lucinda Russell won this in 2018 and has a chance to do so again with the consistent CASTLETOWN, a C&D winner last month and only beaten half a length here subsequently after idling close home. If he is held up for a later challenge, he may come out on top, although the hat-trick seeking Judge Earle is a major danger, for all that he does have another 8lb after making all at Worcester. Hermann Clermont drops in class following wind surgery and could run a decent race.

It could be worth chancing FAVORI DE SIVOLA, who is back on his last winning mark starting out for David Pipe. Judge Earle is seeking a hat-trick so is the obvious threat, with fellow in-form veteran Castletown best of the others.

Having come back to form recently JUDGE EARLE is taken to complete his hat-trick despite an 8lb rise for his latest win.

THUNDER ROLL sets a lofty standard on form, having finished third in the Munster Oaks last time out over further. Joseph O'Brien's filly should have no problem with the drop in trip and she can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking, with the consistent Tommy Thug and stable companion Harsh looking best placed to chase her home. Dubawi Delight has strong claims on his penultimate effort over C&D, while Starry Eyed cannot be ruled out either.

Having stayed on nicely to be third in the Munster Oaks at Cork last time, THUNDER ROLL appears to face a straightforward task as she bids to open her account. Starry Eyed is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs her lines and Sumiha appeals as an interesting newcomer.

This looks all about THUNDER ROLL who still holds a Group 1 entry. She has held her own in Listed\Group events the last twice.

This represents a significant drop in class for DUBAI WELCOME and this still low-mileage gelding is fancied to justify why Godolphin are persevering with him at the age of six. Stepping back from 1m6f could also be key to his chance on his return and a breakthrough success on turf could be imminent for the son of Dubawi. There may also be more to come from Lion Kingdom and Scintillante, who head the list of dangers.

A winner at Chester 2 starts back, SCINTILLANTE would highly likely have finished runner-up but for getting his run checked at a crucial stage when fourth behind a rapidly improving William Haggas in-mate at Ascot 3 weeks ago. Open to further progress, he can confirm his present mark workable, with fellow 3-y-o Lion Kingdom next best. Valsad, a disappointment at Doncaster in the spring, isn't one to give up on and along with Vaynor, completes the shortlist.

Half are 3yos and several of those bring serious hopes of improvement, with SCINTILLANTE tipped ahead of Lion Kingdom.

EASTMORE has shown enough on two starts to date to suggest a race of this nature is within his capabilities. The Kevin Prendergast-trained gelding made a promising debut at Fairyhouse in June, before getting even closer at Killarney on his second start. This looks easier than both those aforementioned contests so the Awtaad three-year-old should be able to get his head in front. Lygon Street wore cheekpieces when fourth in the Apprentice Derby last month. That headgear is replaced by blinkers here, something that suggests the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt isn't the most straightforward. He undoubtedly has the ability to get involved off a rating of 75 but his attitude has to be questionable. Vadsa Queen, a bumper winner at this track recently, wouldn't need to improve a great deal to be a factor.

EASTMORE matched his debut effort (fairly useful form) when finishing a close-up third in a Killarney maiden 33 days ago and a repeat here may well be enough to see him open his account. Lygon Street and The Mediator, who boasts fairly ueful form over hurdles, head up the dangers.

Plenty of connections will be arriving here hopeful their charges can mount a serious challenge to claim this prize with the tentative selection being LERWICK. Ed Bethell's runner was a decent second last time over 1m2f at Ripon and he can go one better off the same mark. Kentucky Bluegrass shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when fifth over 7f at Newmarket, while Elusive Empire can also hit the frame.

This drop back in trip could precipitate a return to winning ways for LERWICK, who did the job well when making all at Pontefract on his penultimate start prior to finding 9.8f on soft ground too much of a test at Ripon recently. Harlem Nights arrives here on the back of a couple of solid efforts in defeat and rates the main danger, while handicap debutant Elusive Empire, Hale End and John Chard VC all merit consideration, too.

Having finished a good second the last twice, HARLEM NIGHTS is taken to return to winning ways. Elusive Empire is feared most.

LADY WORMSLEY has seldom run a bad race in her career and was a game winner when shedding the maiden tag over this distance at Doncaster last time. Despite winning by just a neck on that occasion, a 2lb rise may not be enough to stop her on an upward trajectory. Astronomica also won on her previous outing over 1m at Leicester and is likely to enter calculations along with Victoria Falls.

A tricky finale to solve but preference is for VICTORIA FALLS, who bumped into the thriving Temper Trap at Doncaster just over 3 weeks ago and Hugo Palmer's 4-y-o can go one better down to her last winning mark. Lady Wormsley impressed with her attitude when getting off the mark last time so she may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Astronomica and Comedian Leader.

Doncaster winner LADY WORMSLEY is open to further improvement on turf and gets the vote over Astronomica.

Recent form can often count for plenty in these types of contests, so it might pay to side with ANIERES GIRL. Third at Beverley before filling the runner-up spot at Nottingham nine days later, the daughter of Aclaim does not look overburdened by a subsequent 3lb rise in the handicap and any further improvement can see her go one better. Blue Antares looks set to be involved, while Child Of Lir is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of his handicap bow.

BLUE ANTARES wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Yarmouth last time out and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now to gain his first success. Child of Lir could have more to offer now going into handicaps so is next on the list ahead of in-form duo Lincoln Rockstar and Beyond Beauty.

None bring claims that are at all compelling. LINCOLN ROCKSTAR is the only one who has managed to win a race and may double her tally.

SYMBOL OF HOPE is tipped to gain a deserved success having finished a narrow runner-up over C&D on his last two starts and the booking of Ray Dawson also looks a positive move, having won on him twice in May. Magnificence was denied by the narrowest of margins last month and this lightly longer trip could be ideal for the son of Kingman. Four-time course winner Airshow was a respectable third at Windsor three weeks ago and should appreciate a return to this venue.

THE PRINCES POET caught the eye at Newbury last time and Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding tops the shortlist here, with the strong pace likely to play to his strengths granted more luck in running. Magnificence isn't the most reliable but she'll be hard to knock out of the frame if in the same form as when a close second at Ffos Las last time, whilst course-specialist Symbol of Hope and the in-form Sarah's Verse are also players in a decent heat.

Course winner SARAH'S VERSE looks sure to go well again after competitive efforts at Ascot and Yarmouth.

BORN FAMOUS arrived from Ireland as a maiden under Rules but she has been a revelation since joining Iain Jardine and is unbeaten in five appearances, three over fences and two over hurdles. She does need to shrug off a career-high mark, but she remains better handicapped over hurdles and may have another win in her. Malangen is potentially sitting pretty nearer the bottom of the weights and can go close now returning to a more suitable trip. Adamaris could also get involved.

BORN FAMOUS has proved a revelation since joining Iain Jardine and is strongly fancied to extend his winning sequence to six on the back of his thrilling Summer Plate success at Market Rasen. Adamaris also has plenty to recommend him though so should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way back hurdling. Beauty To Behold rates the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Having made great strides over fences for Iain Jardine, BORN FAMOUS (nap) will be hard to beat if repeating that back over hurdles.

In a highly competitive event, it may pay to side with TURBULENCE, who was an unlucky loser at Naas after being repeatedly denied a clear run before his jockey briefly dropped his reins. Only beaten a short head at the line, he can gain compensation. Eastern Legend may have more to offer after a fairly comfortable defeat of Alma Libre at Down Royal, while God Knows and Deakin are interesting maidens starting off in handicap company off what may yet prove to be pretty favourable marks.

PONT AUDEMAR is well treated based on hurdling form and is easily excused his latest showing at Galway (didn't get a clear run), so he's worth another chance for all that this is a wide-open contest. Turbulence, who was just touched off at Naas last time, is a big threat and God Knows might do better on her first outing in handicaps.

Having had little luck in-running when a fast finishing second at Naas, TURBULENCE (nap) should be able to go one better today.

TONY MONTANA had two and a half lengths to spare over Cracksking when they met over C&D last month and having subsequently run with credit in a deeper race at Glorious Goodwood, he can confirm the form and looks the one to be with at this level. Greek Order has scope to improve further over this distance and also commands respect, while Bleak is another strong contender from a top yard to seriously consider.

Some promising sorts in opposition but the vote goes to BLEAK who hasn't looked back since being gelded and can quickly resume winning ways on the back of his excellent York second. Greek Order has been off the track since May but is still feared most off a handy-looking mark, with Cracksking, Rogue Sea and Tony Montana all in the mix too.

Well held in a 1m Listed race last time, the now-gelded IMPERIAL EMPEROR is given another chance with today's step up in trip.

Recent Galway winner FRATAS should take plenty of beating under leading apprentice Jamie Powell. The Michael Mulvany-trained filly, who has been in excellent form in handicaps of late, is well treated by these race conditions once taking Powell's claim into account. A prominent racer, the daughter of Fracas should prove difficult to pass from the front. Dalliances, a half-sister to a black type filly, has yet to trouble the judge in three starts but it is far too early to write her off. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly may well appreciate the step up to this trip for the first time. Kermiya, a stablemate of the latter, also catches the eye on just her fourth racecourse appearance. The Aga Khan-owned filly is also bred to do a lot better in time.

It might be worth chancing the well-bred KERMIYA to improve past some of these more exposed rivals. Fratas rates an obvious danger on the back of her recent Galway win, while Skyquake is another low-mileage filly who may not have reached her limit.

This can go the way of the handicap debutante KERMIYA who showed more at Killarney last time and looks leniently treated

ATLANTIC HEART was beaten just half a length last time over 7f at Newcastle and she appears primed to offer another bold bid. Paul Midgley's four-year-old has been raised 1lb in the ratings for that effort, but that may not be enough to stop her from getting back to winning ways. Connections of Yaaser will be hoping he gets more luck in-running than over 7f at Musselburgh last time, while Rocket Rod should also be taken seriously.

YAASER hit a rich vein of form this time last year and it's been a similar story in recent weeks, resuming winning ways at Musselburgh on his penultimate start and shaping as if still in good form when finishing fourth from a poor position back at that venue 8 days ago. He can make another bold bid, with low-mileage mare Alseeyerthere, Exceedingly Regal and Ataser just a trio of others to consider.

Preference is for ARCHDUKE FERDINAND, with the form of his third at Ayr on July 24 having worked out really well.

WASTHATOK was somewhat disappointing on his last run in this sphere when failing to beat a rival home at Clonmel, but Gavin Cromwell's charge has been running with credit on the level since and could take some stopping on the switch back to timber. All The Glory beat subsequent four-time winner Titanium Moon at Hexham in May and is feared most, ahead of Book of Secrets, who was quite taking when romping home over C&D earlier this month.

ALL THE GLORY was value for a bit extra over the result when opening her account at Hexham back in May and, with that form working out well, she's fancied to defy a penalty. Irish-raider Wasthatok has been ticking over nicely on the level and rates the main threat ahead of Roll With It.

Rogue Rosie sets the standard having finished runner-up on her last two starts and looks sure to be thereabouts, while the same applies to Sparklight, who hasn't been seen since finishing second at Kempton in May and merits respect. However, they may have to settle for a place again as KANDOO narrowly edges the vote. She was beaten a neck over C&D on her first start for Archie Watson just over a fortnight ago and first-time cheekpieces could help her go one better today.

If KANDOO pulls out only a little more for the addition of cheekpieces she might be able to go one better than in similar company over C&D at the beginning of the month. Rogue Rosie and Sparklight look the obvious dangers unless the betting speaks in the favour of Michael Bell newcomer Tara Atacama.

Kandoo should be in the thick of it but ROGUE ROSIE did well at Nottingham recently and should have an ordinary maiden in her.

ALOYSIUS LILIUS bounced back to form at Tipperary last week and while he has an 8lb higher mark to contend with, the relatively quick turnaround suggests this is a good time to catch this still potentially well-handicapped gelding. Realtin Fantasy and Art Of Unity are back for another crack at the selection after respectively finishing close up in third and fifth in that aforementioned race and, being better off at the weights, both warrant consideration. Silver Nemo and Peerless are more speculative options to note in the betting.

It could be worth chancing SHIMMERZ, who was a good winner over C&D in May before having possible excuses on both outings since. Shoebox King remains on a good mark, while Aloysius Lilius was a comfortable winner at Tipperary last week.

The lightly-raced SPINNING WEB remains open to further improvement in this lowly grade. A juvenile hurdle winner at Tipperary last month, the Mags Mullins-trained three-year-old went very close on his return to the Flat at Sligo last time. With the eventual winner getting first run on that occasion, the effort of the Fascinating Rock gelding deserves upgrading. Breagagh, a half-brother to a smart sprinter, had been running well over hurdles before his runner-up effort at Naas recently. Although that latter run came at a mile, the son of Slade Power may well find this trip to be his optimum. Chatterbox is another that is worthy of consideration, especially now that her trainer has his string firing on all cylinders after a few quiet months.

CHATTERBOX remains a maiden on the back of 9 career starts but appeals as being on a workable mark judged on the pick of those exploits and, having not been seen to best effect at Tipperary 8 days ago, she shades the vote to come out on top. 3-y-o Spinning Web is highly respected on the back of his good Sligo second now upped in trip, with Action Motion another to consider.

This may be a good opportunity for ACTION MOTION (nap) who wasn't beaten far latest and gives the impression he could be well treated

A 3lb rise for First Revolution's triumph at Hexham in May looks more than fair, but the nine-year-old may be worth taking on now switched to a course with an emphasis on speed. PITTSBURG proved a different proposition when recording a first success over fences at Perth and holds leading claims. Ryan Potter's gelding now has conditional Finn Lambert on board to claim a handy 5lb, effectively resulting in him only carrying 4lb more. Ensel Du Perche bids for a hat-trick and is another to note.

PITTSBURG justified support at Perth and the way he scooted clear suggests he can defy a 9 lb rise. Gambie Tiep can be expected to get back on track after a short break, while last-time-out winners Ensel du Perche and First Revolution make this a competitive race for the grade.

A likely solid pace should ensure PITTSBURG doesn't get there too soon, and he's taken to deny Ensel Du Perche the hat-trick.

Under Curfew may not be the easiest horse to win with but he looks sure to be in the mix and could have sold each-way credentials, along with Apache Star, who is another to consider having won over C&D off 5lb lower last month.

An ultra-competitive sprint which can go the way of BERNARD SPIERPOINT, who found life much tougher back in handicap company last time but claimer-ridden for the first time under the tutelage of Darryll Holland, he's fancied to add another victory to an already impressive 2023 campaign. Lilkian, Gherkin and Apache Star are just a handful of others worth considering.

OAKLEY is an intriguing contender on his Irish debut for trainer Tony Mullins. While the five-year-old is unlikely to ever reach the lofty heights attained by another of his stables former German imports, Princess Zoe, he has to be interesting off a mark of 60. It is worth bearing in mind that the aforementioned mare was just beat in a similar grade off only 4lb higher on her first run in this country. Night Moon was just beaten at Ffos Las last time, having made most in a stronger race at Killarney previously. This track will suit the David Marnane-trained three-year-old. Estepona Sun has been running over hurdles of late and is of interest back on the level.

CONTRAPPOSTO is on a long losing run but signalled his turn is near when an excellent second at Sligo so can go one better off the same mark here provided he is none the worse for his exertions here over hurdles on Thursday. Slieve Bearnagh is another who is weighted to go close and he is next on the list ahead of Inchiquin Maid and Estepona Sun who both revert to this sphere.

Young Wolf offered something to work with on his fourth-placed seasonal debut at Southwell last month, with the veteran fancied to emerge as the main threat ahead of Rebel Leader, who may be freshened up by first-time blinkers.

YOUNG WOLF is handicapped to win and showed a glimmer of promise when fourth at Southwell a month ago, so he's worth taking a chance on in a race that doesn't look like it will take much winning. Toad of Toad Hall was successful at Fontwell when last seen, so he's an obvious threat,, while Joyful Kit can't be completely dismissed.

This looks a good opportunity for TOAD OF TOAD HALL, who was a runaway winner at Fontwell last time and is only 5lb higher here.

Clive Cox's charge ran on strongly when getting his head in front over 5f at Windsor 12 days ago and a 5lb rise may not be enough to halt his progression. Skallywag Bay should also be thereabouts.

FIERCE is a likeable type who gained reward for a string of consistent efforts when scoring at Nottingham a month ago and, with cheekpieces applied, he could up his game again, so he takes preference over Sergeant Pep and Skallywag Bay.

It is very difficult to get away from the hat-trick seeking VISCHIO at a venue where she has already proven her effectiveness. The Dick Donohoe-trained mare made all the running over course and distance last month, before following up at Ballinrobe on her next start. Despite a subsequent 7lb rise, the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor looks ahead of the handicapper. Immelmann, who made a very pleasing debut for Willie Mullins at the Curragh, can readily be forgiven a poor run at the Galway Festival as the ground had gone for him. Back on a sounder surface here, the five-year-old has strong claims, although he may just prefer further. Immutable and Expound appear best of the remainder.

It may pay to give another chance to IMMELMANN who was found to be coughing when a disappointing favourite at Galway last time and had shaped encouragingly on his yard debut prior to that. Vischio ran well back hurdling at Galway recently and also scored twice on the Flat last month so she's an obvious danger. Last year's winner Royal Eagle would also very much come into it if turning out (career best over hurdles here on Thursday).

One of these should fall the way of EXPOUND who has been going close of late and now gets first-time cheekpieces which may help

Can't Beat History should know more after his first chase outing at Worcester at the beginning of the month and can't be ignored.

HAPY LA VIE rather stands out as a progressive sort in this line-up and can make light of a 6 lb rise for Hexham. Copper Fox had an excuse last time and has dipped to 5 lb lower than when second at Stratford at the start of the summer so he's second choice ahead of Master Mead.

This can go to James Ewart's 6yo HAPY LA VIE, who made all at Hexham last time and is open to more progress back in trip.

With a visor and tongue strap applied, DIRHAM EMIRATI has returned to form with victories at this course on his last 2 starts and he can score again in his current mood. Smokey Malone has been holding his form well and could be the main danger, ahead of the hat-trick seeking This Ones For Fred.

Plenty have possibilities but DIRHAM EMIRATI gets the vote ahead of the other hat-trick seeker This Ones For Fred.

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

STOKE THE FIRE can gain a deserved success having occupied the runner-up spot on two occasions since returning from a long absence. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding had been off the track for the best part of two years before just getting touched off on his comeback at Down Royal in June. Again, sent off a strongly supported favourite at the Galway Festival last time, he again just came up short, beaten three-quarters of a length. Lord Erskine won over course and distance last month, before running a fair race when sixth at Killarney subsequently. The Harry Rogers-trained veteran has to be a contender. Mr Rango is interesting stepping up to this trip for the first time. Trainer Ross O'Sullivan has his string in great form at the minute so the five-year-old shouldn't be discounted.

STOKE THE FIRE looks the way to go on the back of his very good Galway second with few miles still on the clock and that form working out very well. Sheishybrid shaped encouragingly when fifth at the Curragh last time so rates the main danger to Willie Mullins' low-mileage 4-y-o, with Mr Rango appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Willie Mullins runs three here with STOKE THE FIRE the likely number one with this extended trip likely to suit

Although this is his first start in handicap company, AJP KINGDOM is hard to oppose having won his last three races in impressive fashion and he is fancied to continue on his upward trajectory. Copper Beach only narrowly failed to back up his facile Uttoxeter victory when second at Aintree and is feared most, while the selection's stable companion Oslo remains unexposed at this level and is fancied to step forward from his recent Bangor comeback.

With this step up in trip expected to help unlock further improvement, COPPER BEACH looks the way to go. He lost little caste in defeat when losing out only to a fellow progressive type at Aintree and this 6-y-o remains on a feasible mark. Oslo is also moving up in trip and is respected on the back of an eye-catching reappearance display at Bangor, while stablemate Ajp Kingdom, who is gunning for the four-timer following a winning spree in uncompetitive novice events, has to be feared, too.

Top of the list is AJP KINGDOM (nap), who has won from the front in his last three starts and is a major player on this handicap debut.

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

NEVENDON arrives having posted back-to-back course seconds, each over an extended 1m3f, and this longer trip could play to his strengths. The gelded son of Nathaniel shades preference over Lunar Shadow, who seldom runs poorly in this sphere and ought to fare better having unseated over hurdles at Stratford 16 days ago. Fravanco failed to back up his recent Lingfield victory but he is relatively unexposed and it would be no surprise were he to bounce back this evening.

BEGGARMAN was beaten only a short head by Dirham Emirati (runs in the previous race on this card) here last month and he looks ready to take advantage of his reduced mark. Nevendon arrives in good form having finished runner-up at this course on his last 2 starts and is feared most, with Lunar Shadow completing the shortlist.

Preference is for BEGGARMAN, who bounced back with a near miss here last time and has leading claims if he can repeat that form.

The Noel Meade-trained CHARLIE LUCIANO reverts to the flat off a very appealing mark having won two of his last three starts over hurdles. Although unable to exploit a similar rating at Leopardstown in June, the four-year-old has arguably improved in the interim. Colin Keane will no doubt try to make this a proper test of stamina on a gelding who finds plenty for pressure. Recent course and distance winner Wild Shot hasn't been too harshly treated off just a 5lb higher mark, so the John McConnell-trained gelding must be a real threat. Barometer, last year's winner, hasn't been in the same form of late, but, now that his stable have turned the corner, the eight-year-old has to be considered in his repeat bid.

ELZAAMSAN caught the eye a bit in this headgear combination at Leopardstown last time and might be worth chancing off what is a favourable mark on his peak AW form. Tory Reel and Appian Way are a couple who ought to be capable of going close off basement marks on the Flat judged on the level of their hurdle form. John McConnell's Wild Shot has run well over hurdles since his Flat win here last month and is another to consider.

The manner in which WILD SHOT skipped clear on the home turn here last month suggests he could defy a 5lb rise

A wind operation appears to have done the trick with DIANA PRINCE, who was a most impressive winner over C&D just under a fortnight ago and although 9lb higher this time around, she's fancied to make it two on the spin. Spot On Soph was successful in the other division of the race the selection won and must enter calculations after receiving the same rise. Last year's winning combination of Misty Mani and Luke Scott team up again and Peter Niven's mare is worth a check in the betting for any support.

DIANA PRINCE improved markedly for the switch to handicaps when scoring in taking fashion over C&D last time and this point winner has the scope for further progress, so she's preferred to Spot On Soph, who also tasted success here last time. Pateen also merits consideration.

Each winners of a division of a C&D 0-100 here last time, the less exposed hurdler DIANA PRINCE is preferred to Spot On Soph.

There was plenty to like about DUBAI DREAMER's recent Leicester effort. Having been slowly away and leaving himself with a lot to do passing the furlong pole, the son of Dubawi hit the line well and looks primed to play a leading role now upped in trip for this handicap bow. Loddon bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Sandown 17 days ago and she merits respect, despite subsequently being raised 1lb in the ratings. Eye Of The Water is another to consider.

DUBAI DREAMER appeals as the type to improve now handicapping and Roger Varian's colt is fancied to make a successful switch into this company. Ellade found herself bogged down in the heavy ground at Chepstow last time but had been in good heart prior, whilst Loddon is less exposed than most here and also makes the shortlist.

Ed Walker's LODDON raced freely when runner-up at Sandown and the addition of a hood looks a good move.

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.
