The penny dropped late on for ICE MAX on his debut, as he hit the line well to finish fourth at Haydock in what was a highly-promising start to his career. The son of Dark Angel should have plenty more to come and he could prove tough to beat. His stablemate Respectful could be the biggest threat after finishing fifth behind subsequent winner Vandeek, who took the Richmond last week. Any market support for the 50,000gns purchase Veiled Illusion should be noted.

ICE MAX produced a promising first effort when fourth in a Haydock novice event over this trip 17 days ago and, well bred and in good hands, he earns the vote to take a step forward and come out on top. Veiled Illusion rates an interesting newcomer for James Tate whilst the selection's stablemate, Respectful, who was fifth behind a subsequent Group 2 winner on debut is another to note. Buttercross Flyer completes the shortlist.

Ice Max is preferred of those with experience but VEILED ILLUSION represents a yard that has done well here with its 2yos.

RUM RUNNER has been unlucky to fill the runner-up spot on each of his last three starts, with the latest of those efforts coming at Beverley in a class 6 handicap and he should be more than capable of taking a race of this nature in his current mood. Doomsday won't make it easy for the selection after finishing second in a similar event at a big price in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh, while last-time-out Wolverhampton winner Tea Garden could have a say if transferring her recent form to the turf.

Preference is for TEA GARDEN, who got back to winning ways under this pilot at Wolverhampton last month and is relatively unexposed on turf. Doomsday and Rum Runner can also make their presnce felt.

The choice is C&D winner SPARTAKOS who is ideally suited by 7f on slow ground. Run Runner should also go well.

HELLENISTA ran very well in this grade on her penultimate start when she was beaten just under a length into second by a subsequent winner. The daughter of Nathaniel is only 1lb higher now, following her fourth at York in a class 4 event, and she looks capable of making the most of this drop in class. Spantik was over four lengths clear of the third when second over C&D last time and he has to be considered off the same mark. Of the remainder, Easter Icon makes the most appeal as he drops back to his last winning mark.

A number with claims, including SPANTIK who again ran with credit when runner-up over C&D 4 weeks ago and could be worth siding with to capitalise on his reduced mark. Lord Torranaga similarly arrives in good heart and is feared, with Oh So Chic, returned to this venue, and Hellenista others worth a look.

Lord Torranaga is feared but HELLENISTA ran in a Class 4 handicap at York last time won by the very progressive Robert Johnson.

DOCTOR MOZART posted a respectable second on the all-weather at Wolverhampton on Friday and David Evans' inmate must hold every chance now reverting to turf off a 4lb lower mark. Yazaman ran his best race yet for new connections when runner-up at Pontefract recently and is another to consider on this quick turnaround off 1lb lower in the ratings. The in-form Shark Two also looks capable of succeeding at this level and completes the shortlist.

WADE'S MAGIC has been eased in the weights since his creditable third here last month and gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Doctor Mozart and Shark Two One should also go well.

The 5yo YAZAMAN is unquestionably frustrating but there's every chance that this will be run to suit him.

JAMIL appeared to win a shade cosily here in late July and a 4lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent the eight-year-old from landing a fifth C&D success. Valley Of Flowers was behind the selection in second that day and is feared most off the same mark in this contest, while Trusty Scout, who likely found 1m3f at Hamilton on the sharp side last month, is likely to find this 1m4f more suitable.

Not a great deal of pace on and with that in mind it could pay to side with Lingfield scorer THIS ONES FOR FRED. He responded well to a positive ride when accounting for 7 rivals that day and a 3 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid from the front back on turf. Old rivals Valley of Flowers and Jamil rate next best, whilst Odd Venture isn't out of things either.

With his stable in fine form at present, KING HARRY can win on his first start since being gelded. Valley Of Flowers is next best.

Shesadabber recorded a first success of the season when making all and holding on by a neck at Bath recently, but the daughter of Heeraat could be worth taking on now burdened with a 4lb penalty. MRS BAGERRAN has been in fine form of late and a reproduction of her latest C&D second may be good enough for Tracy Waggott's five-year-old to regain the winning thread. Last-time-out winner Golden Gal and Zoom Star also enter the equation.

GOLDEN GAL quickly dispelled a lesser effort over 6f when resuming winning ways from another on a good mark at Beverley (5f) 3 weeks ago and, operating from the same mark as when landing this corresponding race 12 months ago, all looks set fair for another bold showing from what is likely to prove a handy draw. Shesadabber, runner-up to the selection 12 months ago, comes here thriving for David Evans and along with two-time C&D winner Zoom Star, heads up the dangers.

Shesadabber is not opposed lightly under a penalty but the vote goes to GOLDEN GAL (nap), who won this off the same mark last year.

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.

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.
