WITCH HUNTER came within a whisker of successfully defending his Hungerford Stakes crown, going down by a nose to Tiber Flow in a blanket finish at Newbury. The better the race, the better he seemingly performs - his Lockinge third is evidence of that - but he can still break his duck for the season on the slight drop in class. Regal Reality has also been running well without winning this term and has been third in this contest twice before. Cicero's Gift and Clove Hitch both disappointed last time, but can't be written off just yet.

CICERO'S GIFT didn't seem to take to the fast surface at Goodwood and had previously looked very impressive when making a winning return at Sandown, beating Holloway Boy. He can get back on track here. Karl Burke's challenger deserves another day in the sun and is a big player. Regal Reality should go well again.

Preference is for the lightly raced 4yo PRAGUE, who has shaped as though he will be suited by this drop to 1m.

An open event could go to THE WIZARD OF EYE, who landed the Victoria Cup over C&D in May. He was far from disgraced in the Jubilee Stakes the following month and, given that he remains fairly treated off a mark of 102, the return to handicaps can see him in a better light. Blue Prince (third) and Rebel Territory (sixth) met at Goodwood recently and the latter, who was returning from over a year off the track, could turn the tables. Others to note include Miss Information and the hat-trick seeking Run Boy Run.

A very useful handicap. Victoria Cup winner THE WIZARD OF EYE was far from disgraced when pitched into a Group 1 at the Royal meeting here next time and can resume his progression back in handicap company after a break. The chief threat may come from 3-y-os, notably Mission To Moon, who was an excellent fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, and Miss Information.

The suggestion is STREETS OF GOLD, ahead of The Wizard Of Eye and Miss Information in a typically warm race of its type.

MASTER BUILDER belied his inexperience to stay on into third in the Melrose, with Too Bossy For Us and Spaceport behind him. That was such a promising handicap debut for a gelding having only his fourth start and there should be a lot more to come. Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy have teamed up to claim this prize twice, so Contacto commands attention after pipping a subsequent winner at Hamilton. Walter Hartright has progressed at a rate of knots this summer and might find even more for the extra two furlongs.

Successful on the second of 3 starts in novice company, MASTER BUILDER improved a chunk on his first crack at this sort of trip when third in the Melrose at York 2 weeks ago. Open to further improvement, he's a big player in the hope this doesn't come too soon. Contacto is another of interest back from a break along with the hat-trick seeking Hutchence. Across Earth could also go well at forecast longer odds.

In a fascinating field, MASTER BUILDER, Hutchence, Contacto and Walter Hartright are all strong candidates.

SYMBOL OF STRENGTH has improved with each start to date and arrives here on the back of a close third in the Gimcrack at York. A reproduction of that level of form would give the son of Kodiac a big chance, given that this does not appear to be the strongest renewal of this contest. Principality could make the frame based on his fourth at Listed level at Newbury last time, while Brian and It Ain't Two are others to note.

SYMBOL OF STRENGTH has progressed with each of his 3 starts to date, faring best of those ridden prominently when third in the Gimcrack at York last time, so he looks to hold leading claims of resuming winning ways. Brian also showed much improved form when winning at Newmarket on his latest outing and could be the main danger, ahead of It Ain't Two.

Provided his Gimcrack form is confirmed, SYMBOL OF STRENGTH looks the likeliest winner. It Ain't Two is second choice.

A maiden winner at Catterick, BRAZILIAN BELLE didn't help her cause when failing to settle in a competitive conditions race at Beverley last time. Michael Dods' filly looks one to keep on the right side of now handicapping and a bold bid is anticipated. Bella Love is another likely to improve now debuting in a nursery on the back of promising efforts in maiden/novice company, while Managing Director faced a tough task at York on his nursery debut and can fare better at this lower level.

This looks wide open and it may pay to side with MANAGING DIRECTOR. He's essentially looked a work-in-progress in a handful of starts to date but will find this less demanding than his York assignment and, with his stable amongst the winners, it would come as no surprise to see him capable of better. Bella Love, on nursery debut, Winchurch and Go On Rosie are others to consider.

An open event in which it's worth going with BRAZILIAN BELLE, who ran well for a long way in the Hilary Needler last time

French Duke finished a creditable sixth in the King George V at the Royal meeting in June before striking at Goodwood next time, and he merits the utmost respect despite a subsequent 9lb hike in the ratings. The Reverend sports first-time cheekpieces on his handicap bow and must enter calculations along with stablemate Solomon. A chance is taken on HIGH ORDER, though, who makes significant appeal now dropped in trip off a 2lb lower mark having perhaps failed to stay an extended 1m6f at Doncaster.

FRENCH DUKE proved more professional in a first-time hood and duly confirmed earlier promise when opening his account at Goodwood (12f) 38 days ago. He looks the type who could go on progressing and is selected to come out on top again. The William Haggas trained-pair Solomon and The Reverend head the dangers, with another last-time-out winner Goodwood Odyssey another in the mix.

French Duke has more to prove than Goodwood Odyssey if the ground is softer than good and both face a potent rival in KAMBOO.

The form of the race that STELLA ALPINA finished fourth in on debut at Naas is working out very well. She raced off the front for a long way and the runner-up has since landed a couple of Group 3 contests, while other winners have also come out of that race. Endless Dawn wasn't at her best when unplaced on debut in Naas, but the form has been well franked and she holds a Group 1 entry. Agouti Bear was no match for a ready winner in the Curragh, but was best of the rest in that big field. Mehmas filly Bad Timing and I Can imagine are newcomers from powerful stables who merit market checks.

AGOUTI BEAR showed plenty to work on when second in a big field at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat. Stella Alpina is another who showed ability on debut, while Bad Timing looks the pick of the newcomers.

A confident selection goes to AGOUTI BEAR(nap) after a highly promising Curragh debut. She will not need to improve much

Divine Comedy is better than ever at the age of six, backing up her Ascot Stakes second with a solid York run, although her performance on the Knavesmire wasn't quite as good as ONEFORTHEGUTTER's. Ian Williams' stayer surpassed expectations to make the frame in the Ebor, apparently impressing Ryan Moore enough for him to take the ride here. Epic Poet was only a length behind him so has to be feared, while any further rain would bring The Goat right into the equation. Grand Alliance and Caliyza are a couple of interesting class droppers on the comeback trail.

Ian Williams is no stranger to success in this and ONEFORTHEGUTTER is taken to build on his fine run in the Ebor. Epic Poet was a place behind the selection at York and should also go well again. The progressive Waxing Gibbous, whose stable is enjoying a good spell, and If Not Now complete the shortlist.

The tip is ONEFORTHEGUTTER (nap) following his bold show (just in front of Epic Poet) in the Ebor, which was even more competitive.

HAMISH put in a very rare poor performance when well beaten into fourth at Newmarket, but that followed a top-class effort when second in the Coronation Cup at Epsom. With that in mind, the eight-year-old can be given another chance as he bids to repeat his 2021 victory in this contest. Kalpana has proven to be consistent throughout this season and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Lion's Pride edges out Cemhaan to be best of the rest.

LION'S PRIDE has won 2 of his 3 starts at this course, with the form of all 3 races proving to be strong, so he is taken to bounce back to form and provide his yard with a fifth success in the September Stakes from the last 7 renewals. The 4-y-o can see off the challenge of Hamish, who landed this contest in 2021, with Kalpana completing the shortlist.

The redoubtable Hamish is second choice but it may prove best to side with the improving 3yo filly KALPANA.

Mayor Of Maghera won a shade more cosily at Musselburgh on his nursery bow than the winning margin of a neck suggests. He is not out of this despite a 5lb rise, but the vote goes to WHAT'S SHE AT. Archie Watson's inmate landed a maiden race at Redcar with plenty left in the tank, while giving the impression this extra furlong would suit. Big Bug improved for the step up to 7f when placed at Carlisle and the addition of blinkers may bring about further progress.

Like so many from his yard, TESTIMONIAL appears to have been brought along gradually with nurseries very much in mind and he is of interest now pitched into one off a lowly mark. What's She At built on her debut promise when scoring in tidy fashion at Redcar and she is just about second choice ahead of recent Musselburgh scorer Mayor of Maghera.

This can go to the Archie Watson-trained WHAT'S SHE AT, who stepped up on her debut form when winning last time and she should stay 1m

ANGEL HUNTER was given an initial figure of 83 after showing plenty of ability on his first three appearances, and he proved up to the task when landing a hotly-contested nursery at York's Ebor meeting. Now rated 90, Richard Hannon's colt sets a fine standard back in novice company and could even be Pattern class. Mr Fantastic has let down favourite-backers twice, but there has been nothing wrong with his performances at Hamilton and Haydock. Law Of Design offered encouragement at Newmarket, and Cape Breton is a fascinating newcomer.

York nursery winner ANGEL HUNTER is the clear pick on form and the one to beat with more to come. Law of Design should come on for a promising debut, while Cape Bretton is an interesting newcomer.

Having won a nursery at the York Ebor meeting, ANGEL HUNTER is the one to beat despite his penalty.

SNAPDRAGON has put together a sequence of three runner-up berths in a row and can grab his first victory. He likes to get on with things at the head of affairs and has been getting closer to the breakthrough as he was just pipped by a head on his latest start over a shorter trip at this track. Shimmy Jimmy receives 10lb from the selection and that will aid his cause on the stiff finish. He won his maiden over C&D in July. Grande Marques has shown ability in maidens and was far from outclassed in seventh in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas in August. A big run wouldn't be surprising.

A deserved first taste of success beckons for SNAPDRAGON, who found just one too good for the third time in a row in a maiden here recently. The Ballydoyle colt may have most to fear from Shimmy Jimmy, who finished around 5½ lengths adrift of the selection in a nursery at the Curragh last month but now renews rivalry on 9 lb better terms. The filly Grande Marques shouldn't be too far away but Rhodreego seemingly has a fair bit to find.

With three seconds to his name, there is a concern that SNAPDRAGON might again find one too good. However, he should prevail this time

American Affair and Jer Batt are honours even from their recent encounters and they can figure prominently again, despite both being held off their current mark last time out. However, it's likely that recent Goodwood winner SHAGRAAN is open to a touch more progression and Mick Appelby's three-year-old shades the vote on that basis. Well supported when not beaten far over the extended 5f on Juddmonte day at York, dropping back to the minimum trip should be ideal and, with Oisin Murphy booked, compensation can be gained here.

A case can be made for most of these but Mick Appleby's SHAGRAAN is the least exposed and fancied to regain winning ways on the back of a very good York fifth last time out. Handily-weighted Looking For Lynda heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Jumbeau, American Affair, Change of Mind and Hyperfocus in this very competitive sprint.

The Jim Goldie-trained AMERICAN AFFAIR has enjoyed a progressive campaign and is taken to post his third win of the season.

HUNDRED CAPS showed the benefit of a wind operation when finishing third over course and distance.

The latter showed some promise on his debut and will likely feature again, while Mr Cool found only one too good here last time and can make his presence felt.

HUSCAL confirmed debut promise when winning at Ripon despite still showing signs of greenness and this Mill Reef entrant is taken to follow up. Fellow penalised winner Mearall is the obvious threat with Prosperitas best of the others.

A chance is taken on SIR DAVID, who was still green when a clear third in a decent maiden at Pontefract last time.

Talis Evolvere carries plenty of weight but has faced some tough tasks in recent months and should not be underestimated in this company. Preference is still for the unexposed KILT, who caught the eye when staying on into second over a mile at Haydock a month ago. A 5lb rise for that effort is a concern, but the well-bred son of Kingman may have further improvement left to come. Cases can be made for most of the remainder, but Rhythm N Rock and Longlai are the pick of them.

William Haggas' KILT comes here easily the least exposed boasting some strong 3-y-o form to his name and, having posted his best effort yet when second at Haydock 4 weeks ago, he makes plenty of appeal taking on his elders for the first time from a good draw. Fellow 3-y-o Ebt's Guard, whose latest York run is easily excused, is another to consider. Thriving pair Valkyrian and Borgi complete the shortlist.

He lacks experience but if there's one here who could be well ahead of its mark it is KILT (nap). Longlai may give him most to do.

A tentative vote goes to BRIONI, who ran a career best on the back of wind surgery when runner-up in a valuable handicap at Goodwood last month. Alan King's charge may have been unfancied on that occasion, but he can prove that effort was no fluke, with recent Goodwood second Hot Fuss and former Derby hopeful Voyage looking best placed to chase him home. An unlucky fourth when not getting a clear run at York latest, Whiskey Pete is another to note.

Plenty are in with a shout but Tom Dascombe's HOT FUSS looks the way off just a 1 lb higher mark for his excellent recent Goodwood second. Savvy Exchange is feared most on the back of his eye-catching Redcar second, with Brioni and More Thunder also well in the mix.

A chance is taken on PALACE GREEN. His last run needs forgiving but he was seriously eyecatching in his two races prior to that.

DEVIL'S ANGEL is sliding down the weights and Colin Keane is an interesting booking for him. He won eight times in Britain and has each-way claims on his fourth start in Ireland. Hero Of The Hour has acquitted himself well on the four runs he has had since switching to Tom McCourt. He enjoyed a dead-head success in Down Royal and also took an apprentice handicap at Naas, in addition to placed efforts at Bellewstown. Irish Rumour found for pressure to get up for second at the Curragh. She had been extensively campaigned on the Polytrack at Dundalk for a long period, so there may be more to come on turf. Realtin Fantasy and Theriverrunsdeep are others with claims.

I'M SPARTACUS deserves to get his head back in front and could do so here if the fitting of a visor has the desired effect. Devil's Angel and Realtin Fantasy are a couple of others to note in a typically trappy low-grade contest.

This could be the opportunity for I'M SPARTACUS. He deserves a change of luck and recent runs suggest this stiff five could be ideal

A gallant runner-up in the July Cup, Swingalong fared best out of those who clashed in Newmarket's summer highlight but whether he can uphold the form with Inisherin (fifth) is debatable, given he got first run. The latter, who was imperious when landing the Sandy Lane over C&D in May before landing the Commonwealth Cup, can be forgiven one bad day at the office and could very easily bounce back. However, JASOUR (sixth) was only a neck behind Kevin Ryan's colt last time and has very little to find to steal the limelight here. Flora Of Bermuda is another appealing each-way option.

INISHERIN disappointed in the July Cup when last seen but he'd left the impression he could dominate the sprinting division given the manner of his win in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot so is well worth another chance. Fellow 3-y-o Elite Status put himself firmly in the mix for this when winning a strong Group 3 at Newbury and is next best ahead of his stablemate Swingalong, who backed up her excellent second in the Golden Jubilee when just denied in the July Cup.

The 3yo INISHERIN looked a sprinting superstar at Royal Ascot and can return to winning ways. Swingalong is feared most.

Chesneys Charm proved up to his opening mark of 73 when denying Patsy Snugfit by a short head over 7f at Wolverhampton last month and he holds an obvious chance off 4lb higher. However, FOUETTE gets the nod. James Horton's juvenile can be forgiven her below-par effort at Yarmouth because she was too free and she may be up to the task on her nursery debut. Toy Soldier is another to consider.

FEARLESS FREDDY shaped better than the result in a competitive Glorious Goodwood nursery 5 weeks ago and can go well if taking to the polytrack. Wolverhampton 1-2 Chesneys Charm and Patsy Snugfit are dangerous.

Fearless Freddy and Cristo can win races off their mark but TILTED KILT's first two runs make him of serious interest.

However, the consistent KINGS MERCHANT is fancied to go one better than his neck second over 6f at Ripon latest. Ed Bethell's charge can take this 2lb rise in his stride, while Mythical Phoenix has racked up a sequence of placed efforts and he should also be in the mix.

Having run out an emphatic winner at Doncaster in May, MUKAAFAH proved a let-down in his follow-up bid at Royal Ascot a month later. A low-mileage sort, who has been gelded subsequently, he's worthy of another chance to confirm previous promise returned to this trip. It's surely only a matter of time before Mythical Phoenix gets his head in front again and he's feared. Kings Merchant and Grant Wood can also feature.

Midnight Affair is feared back at 6f but MUKAAFAH still has time to develop into a high-class sprinter and he can come out on top.

Jockey Billy Loughnane seemed to get a good tune out of FRESH when third in a valuable handicap here over 7f in July, and a 2lb rise for that effort could prove lenient. Dropping back to 6f should not inconvenience either and this course regular can see off the likes of narrow Goodwood second Tacarib Bay, and Buccabay, who makes his first start for new connections. Two Tribes is likely to be thereabouts as well after an eye-catching effort at York last month.

There were positives to glean from ROHAAN's latest effort at Goodwood and, now 6 lb lower in the weights compared to when notching a fifth C&D success last October, he may well be the answer. Fellow course regular Fresh is likely to offer stern resistance on the back of solid placed efforts here the last twice. James Fanshawe's charge is feared most ahead of Tacarib Bay and Two Tribes.

Tacarib Bay is a big danger but ROHAAN (nap) has such a good record here that he gets the vote. Fresh can also have a big say.

A competitive sprint handicap. The handicapper gave HARRY'S HILL a chance at Bellewstown last month and he responded with a powerful display off the front. Wayne Hassett's 5lb claim should keep him competitive. Transcendental, who was beaten half a length into second in that Bellewstown contest, came out and franked the form in no uncertain terms at this track a couple of days later. She is really climbing the weights in the sprinting division, while both horses enjoy this track. Ostraka bounced back to winning ways at the Curragh which makes her dangerous, while in-form Johnny Murtagh supplies Emerald Harmony who is in a consistent vein of form.

HARRY'S HILL had a bit in hand when resuming winning ways at Bellewstown 11 days ago, so is the percentage call to follow up. Transcendental and Nouvel Espoir are others who arrive with good recent form and head the opposition in an open affair.

Preference is for the consistent EMERALD HARMONY, still on the upgrade after her second at Cork last time with likely more to come

All of these are open to progression and this should be informative. However, the hat-trick seeking LINWOOD makes plenty of appeal and, having overcome a troubled passage to justify odds-on favouritism in a decent novice race over a mile at Ripon last month, the son of Inns Of Court is another attractive proposition for a yard that won the 2020 running of this race. Eternal Elixir and C&D winner Hawksbill are other notable contenders, while Godolphin's expensive recruit Age Of Gold is also feared now he steps up in trip.

AGE OF GOLD found only another progressive sort too good when runner-up in a competitive York nursery last month and remains with potential. He can land the spoils. A number of his rivals are also open to improvement, including Luther and Stark Warning, who are feared most.

Josh Thompson gets a good tune out of AMBASSADOR, with the pair combining for three triumphs in the last year, including at Uttoxeter when last seen over obstacles. Micky Hammond's seven-year-old has since performed with credit on the Flat and is the form choice in a race that isn't as competitive as the field size would suggest. Queen Of Steel also reverts to hurdles and has shown enough previously under this jockey to warrant an interest. Cheekpieces replacing blinkers might help Evenwood Sonofagun put his heavy Market Rasen defeat behind him.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and SUPPOSEDTOBE looks the way to go back hurdling after posting a very good second over fences at Cartmel last time. Ambassador comes here in good nick and is next on the list, with Joker du Chenet, Queen of Steel and River Robe all worthy of respect too.

The pick is JOKER DU CHENET ran a big race in defeat over a longer trip here two starts ago and also performed well last time.

HEATHCLIFF can scale greater heights and can notch up a fourth win from 5 starts in AW handicaps. Radio Goo Goo, Habooba and Intervention are other key players.

RAJINDRI ran well in a useful handicap at Doncaster 7 weeks ago and has a good shout off the same mark. Triumph of Peace can go on improving now handicapping for William Haggas and is a big player. Tropical Island can also go well if getting the new trip.

This can go to the progressive TRIUMPH OF PEACE (nap), who turned in her best effort at Salisbury and can do better now handicapping

Twirling has made the frame in each of her last two starts in class 3 handicaps and should make a bold bid off the same mark as her third at Goodwood last month. However, ROWAYEH finished 15 places in front of her in the Kensington Palace here in June and that may be the key piece of form to focus on. Owen Burrows' four-year-old produced a solid effort when a close-up third at Goodwood last time and can return to winning ways. Surveyor completes the shortlist.

The majority of these are viable candidates, so it's not an easy puzzle to solve. That said, ROWAYEH probably hasn't shown her full hand just yet and the form of her Kensington Palace fourth at the Royal meeting is probably just about the best on offer, particularly bearing in mind that she almost certainly would've finished closer granted a clear run. Next on the list is Twirling, while Surveyor, who got the better of Queen of Atlantis and Fair Point over C&D in July, is also feared.

A few with good C&D form, notably Kensington Palace fourth ROWAYEH, who posted another fine run in a hot handicap at Goodwood last time.

A few in this look like they might be ideally suited by a bit further and GOLDEN OCEAN gets the vote despite a slightly disappointing show when last seen. The Blue Point filly ran a promising race first time up at Naas in May when fourth in a decent contest won by Serialise. She was always doing a bit too much, without any cover, at Leopardstown subsequently and was one-paced when finishing fifth behind smart winner Jancis. This looks an easier task now. North Africa ran a big race at Cork just over three weeks ago when second to Romzina. That came over ten furlongs. He had Liltia back in third that day and may be able to confirm placings.

TOUCH THE SOUND holds the edge on form so is taken to build on her Leopardstown second and get off the mark. Cork runner-up North Africa could emerge as the main danger, with Liltia, Lucky Melody and Final Curtain also in the picture.

There could be more to come from NORTH AFRICA who stepped up on her early-season form when second at Cork last month

Pearl Eye won last year's renewal and can feature again on his favoured going, but it looks worth sticking with the progressive ARKHALIA FLYNN in this. The winner of three of his last four outings, the three-year-old may not have finished improving yet having returned a ready winner on the soft ground at Windsor last time. Asteverdi won at Sandown in June and is not easily discounted off her current mark, while Red Hat Eagle may prove best of the rest.

The one who stands out is ARKHALIA FLYNN who is progressing well and looks up to completing the hat-trick having overcome a positional bias in ready fashion at Windsor on his most recent outing. Nap Hand caught the eye putting in some good late work at Kempton last time and should be up to making his presence felt once more, with the lightly-raced Rogue Encore completing the shortlist.

If there's a sharp improver lurking then it's ROGUE ENCORE who never got the chance to stretch his legs at Newbury last time.

Cavern Club was useful on the Flat and did all that was expected of him and more when sent off a short-price favourite for his hurdling bow at Cartmel. He has a future at this game but in ROARING LEGEND, he comes up against a rival who finished second in Listed company early on in the year and has been freshened up since a shock defeat at Aintree. Leave Her To Me kept going to make it second-time lucky over timber at Uttoxeter, although this requires more of her.

CAVERN CLUB probably didn't achieve much in form terms with his main market rival flopping at Cartmel, but he still scored with any amount in hand and, with much better to come, he's taken to improve past standard-setter Roaring Legend, who presumably wasn't right to falter as he did on the run-in at Aintree when last seen in May.

Preference is for fairly useful Flat racer CAVERN CLUB, who didn't beat much on his hurdling debut but did it very easily.

Fools Rush In showed a lot more when sporting a first-time visor to occupy the runner-up berth at Southwell last week and should remain competitive off a 1lb higher rating. However, the vote goes to SUPASPECIALAWESOME, who shared the spoils over C&D two starts ago before running too badly to be true next time. Hugo Palmer's four-year-old may put that effort behind him and prove hard to beat. Equion is another to keep an eye on.

It might be worth forgiving SUPASPECIALAWESOME a lesser run in a competitive 0-90 here last time as the form of his previous C&D win has been boosted. Equion, Pinball Wizard, who hasn't been under the care of James Owen for long, and Fools Rush In are feared most in that order.

2lb lower than when winning over C&D last summer, EQUION gets the nod. Fools Rush In and Pinball Wizard are shortlisted too.

ENRICO CARUSO did it well when scoring comfortably on his handicap debut at Sandown in July and the runner-up, who came into the race on a four-timer, has franked the form since by going unbeaten. The Gosdens' four-year-old shaped as though stepping up in trip would suit and he gets that opportunity now, with impressive Ascot winner Assail looking best placed to chase him home. A highly progressive sort over the summer, Night Breeze is entitled to have a say in proceedings as well.

The Gosdens' lightly-raced ENRICO CARUSO arrives on the up so is fancied to make light of a 9 lb weight hike and follow up his comfortable Sandown victory. Ascot scorer Assail also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list, with Sanitiser and Juana Ines others to consider in this intriguing handicap.

Gosden runner ENRICO CARUSO could well defy a 9lb rise for his solid Sandown win. Assail is feared most.

POL ROGER hasn't finished outside of the first two home in each of his last six outings, winning twice, and this consistent performer might be a tough nut to crack. Michael Dods' charge could be seen to better effect over this extra yardage after a narrow defeat over 1m2f at Ayr last month. The main danger is La Pulga, who ran with credit when third in a valuable Racing League contest at Southwell on his latest outing, while Haptics heads the remainder.

HAPTICS was a useful multiple winner in France and has joined a yard who do well with similar types so he's worth chancing to make a successful start on these shores. Newmarket runner Didaar could do better now handicapping up in trip, while La Pulga can give another good account.

This may be best left to LA PULGA, who could get his own way in front back on turf. This reliable sort can land a sixth win.

Good Earth is in sparkling form at present after completing a double at Sandown last week and he remains on a workable mark. However, this is a much tougher assignment and, with that in mind, the vote goes to EXISTENT. Stuart Williams' six-year-old finished a close-up fourth over C&D in July and competes off a 4lb lower rating. If he can recapture that level of form, he ought to go close. Previous C&D winner Dream Composer and Brooklyn Nine Nine are just two others to consider.

It's been some time since EXISTENT last got his head in front but he has slipped to an attractive mark and a reproduction of his solid C&D effort in July would put him firmly in the picture. Haymaker is capable of a bold show if he gets it right at the start, while Brooklyn Nine Nine is also of interest.

The recent rain complicates things but perhaps this will be the day when BROOKLYN NINE NINE finally gets a charmed passage.

SLIEVE BEARNAGH has been in fine form over hurdles and may be able to give young Donagh Murphy his first career winner. The Zoffany gelding won a division of this race last year and has been campaigned over timber this summer, winning twice and finishing runner-up on his most recent outing at Kilbeggan. Struck By Churchill is another switching back to the Flat, having won over hurdles at Wexford eight days ago. She looks a danger. Barrogstown Girl won with a bit up her sleeve at Clonmel on Thursday night and also has to come into calculations, under a penalty.

SLIEVE BEARNAGH has been on a roll over hurdles this summer and can take advantage of his lowly mark in this sphere back at the scene of his win last autumn. Struck By Churchil is another who is respected on the back of a recent hurdle success. Harseva also makes the shortlist along with Paul Flynn pair Jazz Forever and Forlio.

It may be worth taking a chance with RECLAIM who can build on his opening handicap effort at Leopardstown.

KELPIE GREY showed good progress early in the season when landing a hat-trick and last month's respectable fourth at Carlisle suggests there is more to come. Jim Goldie's inmate should get a good tow round from the front-running Good Morning Alex, who wasn't at his best on testing ground last time but is not out of this. Utilis finally came good at Thirsk, when fitted with a tongue-tie and blinkers for the first time, and the headgear remains in place.

EMPIRE OF LIGHT has been shaping up well since his success here in June, unlucky not to have finished closer after meeting trouble when runner-up at Redcar last time, so he could be set to resume winning ways. Heading the list of dangers is Al Rufaa, who has only narrowly been denied on his last 2 starts, while Good Morning Alex is also considered.

The unexposed 3yo NATIVE KING hasn't had the breaks at Chester or Goodwood the last twice and is preferred to Empire Of Light.

The King Of May ended a drought of more than two years at Cartmel, but he isn't certain to back it up. At half his age, NICKELFORCE surely has his best days ahead of him and after showing a decent level of ability over the smaller obstacles, he could come into his own now sent chasing. The application of a visor might help Calvic as he tries to make amends for letting favourite-backers down at Worcester.

BEGIN THE LUCK has a good record here and shaped as if still in form at Newton Abbot last week, so can take advantage of this drop in class. Isholo du Vivien has been all or nothing over fences so far but he's a player if bouncing back, while Nickelforce is consistent over hurdles and makes his chase bow in a thin race.

This can go to class-dropper BEGIN THE LUCK (nap), who chased home a progressive rival on his latest visit to Stratford in June.

This may prove to be a match between LORDSBRIDGE BLU and Prophet's Path, with slight preference for the former because he might have more to offer on only his third career start. The son of Havana Grey took a step forward from his debut to make the frame over a mile at Chelmsford and could improve again for this step up in distance. Prophet's Path does set the standard with a rating of 79 and went really close over 1m4f at Kempton. Newcomer Arc Zoosve warrants a market check.

PROPHET'S PATH is going the right way and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account. Lordsbridge Blu is the obvious danger.

Lordsbridge Blu will want to settle better than last time if he's to have a chance of toppling the standard-setting PROPHET'S PATH.

Armed with a 10lb pull, RAKKI could well reverse Sandown placings with Almudena who is nevertheless respected.

CRUYFF TURN struggled when last seen in a stronger race at York a couple of weeks ago, but his previous third at Haydock was much more encouraging.

Bell Shot is an obvious threat following his close second at Epsom last time, while Finbar's Lad and Craven are others to note.

AL MUQDAD is enjoying an excellent season and fancied to bag a fifth success having not been seent to best effect when a good fourth at Ripon last time. Finbar's Lad is next on the list on the back of his solid Haydock third, with Bell Shot and Craven in the mix too.

A few to consider but a chance is taken with CHALLET, who hasn't won for a while but he's on a handy mark and has the hood refitted.

The Too Darn Hot gelding has been knocking on the door and his best run was when losing out narrowly over this course and distance back in May. Mick Collins is an obvious danger and is rated only a couple of pounds inferior after three runs. The Inns Of Court gelding is tried in a hood now. Ballydoyle filly Get ran a solid race when fourth at Cork on her return just over three weeks ago and is another for the shortlist.

NATURALLY NIMBLE posted his best effort yet when fourth in a Galway handicap last time and looks the one to beat on that form. Mick Collins and Estate Planning head the list of dangers.

Fourth over 1m4f in a Galway handicap last time. NATURALLY NIMBLE will be hard to beat if reproducing the form of a C&D second in May.

Returning to better ground seems to have revitalised CALLIN BATON ROUGE, who made it two from two for Charles and Adam Pogson when winning at Market Rasen three weeks ago. A 10lb hike in the ratings will make things tougher, but she is evidently on good terms with herself and may well have more to offer. Don Rafael finished third to the selection last time and could close the gap on revised terms, while market support for handicap debutant Rubies Or Gold should be noted.

DOUGLAS DC ran well on his most recent Flat outing and returns to hurdling in a lower-grade race than usual, so he's put forward as the answer. Hat-trick seeker Callin Baton Rouge and Pak Army head the opposition.

Callin Baton Rouge is respected but C&D winner PAK ARMY also arrives in good form and he gets the vote.

Dan Skelton's charge struggled in a warm class 2 at Uttoxeter last time out, but this smaller field will play to her strengths and she is now 1lb lower than last December's Ludlow triumph.

EL BORRACHO has become very well handicapped and could be set to strike down in trip having shaped encouragingly here last time. Forget The Way is feared most ahead of Sacre Coeur.

It might be worth chancing that a change of stable and first-time blinkers work for ALEX THE GREAT, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Kiss My Face has been in good form over hurdles for Alastair Ralph recently and is fairly treated on his peak Flat form so he's a possible threat along with C&D specialist Virtual Hug.

A capable sort on his day, Cooperation has dropped to a very workable mark, while C&D winner Porfin is another to consider at this level.

It will be interesting if punters again latch on to OVERNIGHT OATS, who failed to vindicate their faith on debut for James Owen at Southwell recently but he's fallen a long way in the weights (18 lb lower than he was when runner-up at Epsom last September) and could be worth chancing. Liosa was beaten by Arlecchino's Gift here last time but, armed with a 3 lb pull, he is taken to reverse those placings and emerge as the main danger.

Catch Cunningham is an interesting contender back an artificial surface from a reasonably competitive mark, while four-time C&D winner Jojo Rabbit seems to raise his game at this venue and cannot be ruled out. However, in handicapping terms, none appeals more than CALL GLORY, who not only boasts some respectable synthetics form but is a highly attractive proposition off 5lb below his last winning rating with a new headgear combination tried. Match Play also has some each-way appeal.

DARK SIDE PRINCE misfired in the Yarmouth handicap won by Match Play but he's evidently more of a force on the all-weather and is taken to regain the winning thread here. Next on the list is Aces Wild, who goes well here and has a good chance of reversing last month's C&D placings with Phoenix Beach on 3 lb better terms. Catch Cunningham is feasibly treated and also merits respect.

Things didn't pan out ACES WILD's way here last time and this could well be set up for him. Jojo Rabbit (4-6 over C&D) is a danger.

ASPIRE TO GLORY posted his best effort for some time when fourth at this course last month and is now 4 lb below his last winning mark. He gets the nod in the finale. Cuban Harry and La Sonnambula can also make their presence felt.

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.
