Stat Goddess hit the woodwork on her nursery debut last week and she needs to be respected from an unchanged mark, but it is FREGOLA who shades preference. The daughter of Havana Gold contested a warm novice at Newmarket on her debut and although it is hard to argue that she has progressed since, this handicap bow will present a more suitable opportunity. The booking of Oisin Murphy aboard Nad Alshiba Green catches the eye and she is another to consider.

STAT GODDESS made a good start in nurseries at Catterick last week and gets the vote. The booking of Oisin Murphy for Nad Alshiba Green takes the eye and she's of firm interest. Sienna Gold is another who can do better now handicapping and might be in the hunt.

Several of these are worth a look but perhaps CHEERLEADER can show the benefit of wind surgery on her handicap debut.

Nala Star will need to break alertly if she's to overcome her wide draw and, although respected, TWILIGHT BALLET is preferred. Andrew Balding's colt finished a narrow second at Lingfield last time out and any further improvement can see him go one better. Rage Of Thunder was far from disgraced on his debut at Sandown last month and it would come as no surprise were he to step forward.

TWILIGHT BALLET holds the best form so is fancied to go one better than his recent Lingfield second and get off the mark. Rage of Thunder appeals as the one to chase home Andrew Balding's Twilight Son colt if, as expected, building on his debut Sandown seventh. Nala Star also has the form to play a part, while Richard Hannon's newcomer Halfeti is worth a second look too, especially if the market speaks in her favour.

Rage Of Thunder should improve but preference is for TWILIGHT BALLET who made a race of it with a useful one at Lingfield last time.

SISTERS IN THE SKY returned to winning ways with a comfortable C&D triumph a fortnight ago, defeating the reopposing Second Collection. Given that Grace Harris' charge remains competitively handicapped from a 4lb raised mark, he could go in again if arriving in a similar vein of form. Recent Wolverhampton scorer Carmarthen can get involved under the penalty, while others to note include Twayblade and Outer Edge.

Plenty with chances but FIRENZE ROSA still looks ahead of her mark under a 4 lb penalty for her impressive Brighton success so edges the vote. Ffos Las runner-up Twayblade appeals as the one to give the veteran mare most to do ahead of Carmarthen, Savannah Smiles and Second Collection.

A competitive sprint in which VAUNTED can reverse recent C&D placings with Second Collection and Sisters In The Sky.

MEDIA GUEST has posted some respectable recent form and, given he wasn't beaten far in a competitive apprentice handicap at Salisbury last weekend, the Mark Gillard-trained gelding is worth another try off the same mark in what is effectively a weaker race. Nordic Glory is 0-11 on turf but is not dismissed after a solid effort at Lingfield, while Foreseeable Future also appeals from 11lb below his last winning mark.

FORESEEABLE FUTURE shaped well having his made his challenge on the opposite flank when fifth at Thirsk 2 weeks ago and, with the visor refitted, Ruth Carr's charge could be ready to strike having fallen to an attractive mark. Media Guest, Oriental Spirit and Nordic Glory head up the dangers, with Princess Naomi also worth keeping an eye on now the blinkers are applied.

Foreseeable Future and MALHAM TARN COVE may be the pair to focus on and the latter is marginally preferred.

The trusted formula Sir Mark Prescott has mastered when stepping handicappers up in trip has often been a rewarding plan to follow and can again be evidenced if MISS GITANA builds on last month's gutsy success over the extended 1m6f at Doncaster. The daughter of Nathaniel displayed battling qualities that day and, off just 2lb higher, is hard to ignore. Fellow last-time-out winner Hidden Pearl is feared most, although Tailorman and Dovena can also go well.

BEGGARMAN failed to last home when fifth over 2m at Lingfield last time so is worth another chance to confirm himself on a lenient mark dropped back in trip here. Miss Gitana heads the list of dangers on the back of her Doncaster success, although the lightly-raced Implacable and 2022 victor Hidden Pearl are also well in the mix in this open handicap.

The Ian Williams-trained TAILORMAN (nap) gets the vote after two useful efforts in handicaps. Miss Gitana is second choice.

MISS DUBAI has run with credit both times she has raced over this trip, going close on the Lingfield Polytrack, and the daughter of Ribchester looks worth chancing, despite running from out of the handicap here. With untapped potential stamina-wise and with Oisin Murphy doing the steering, she shades preference over Rita Rana and Angel On High, who command respect but are hard to win with.

MISS DUBAI arrives on the back of 2 good efforts in 3-y-o only handicaps and can come good now taking on largely older and more exposed opposition. Angel On High has been knocking on the door lately and is second choice ahead of Miss Sligo.

Several possibilities but the return to this track will suit BIG JIMBO who races over this C&D for the first time since his Auguest win.

SHAWS PHOENIX went down fighting when touched off in a driving finish at Yarmouth last month and could be hard to beat back over a mile if the cheekpieces have the same galvanising impact. Dappled Light commands respect back in a handicap after landing the odds in a classified stakes at Ffos Las. Cobh Harbour and Monks Mead are a couple of others with solid place claims at this level.

Former C&D winner MY AMBITION looks ready to strike again after a back-to-form second at Leicester last time but there are plenty of dangers in a competitive finale, headed by the hat-trick seeking Weston Court and Shaws Phoenix, who went down only to a progressive sort at Yarmouth last time. Ed Walker handicap newcomer Oscar Mike would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour.

The one with scope for significant improvement is THUNDERING BREEZE on her handicap debut. My Ambition is second best.

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.
