MERCURY DAY wasn't beaten far into fourth on her debut at Newmarket and, with normal improvement, she could be the one to beat. The main threat is Goldingreatstore, who showed plenty of ability when third on his first outing at Pontefract and can put it up to the selection. Bubbles Wonky should take a step forward from his fourth at Redcar and completes the shortlist.

Ralph Beckett's Time Test filly MERCURY DAY made a promsing start when fourth in a big-field Newmarket maiden and looks the way to go here. Redcar-fourth Bubbles Wonky also has better days ahead of him and rates the chief threat, with Goldingreatstore and Last Applause both in the mix too in a fair juvenile novice.

The Ralph Beckett-trained filly MERCURY DAY holds strong form claims having been fourth of 17 on her recent debut at Newmarket.

LUDDEN LASS finished third behind a well-bred John & Thady Gosden newcomer at Southwell last time, which signalled she has taken a step forward as that effort came after a 122-day break. Therefore, the three-year-old should be able to shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking. The main danger is Hamlet, who was victorious on debut and should give it a good go even with a 7lb penalty to shoulder, while any market support for Button Bay should also be noted.

LUDDEN LASS returned from a lay-off with an encouraging Southwell third and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark in a novice where a few have question marks against them. Southwell-scorer Hamlet is feared most under his penalty ahead of the lightly-raced Sixties Chic.

Preference is for LUDDEN LASS, who has run well to be placed over 7f the last twice and could benefit from this drop back to 6f.

MUSCIKA bounced back to form in good style with a three-length success at Epsom in August and he was raised 6lb for that effort, which keeps him feasibly treated on his previous form. Therefore, the nine-year-old can make it a double. Broken Spear wasn't disgraced in third over 7f at Chester last month and he could appreciate the return to the trip he last won over in May. Of the remainder, Oso Rapido makes the most appeal.

C&D winner OSO RAPIDO lost the race in the stewards' room when demoted to runner-up at York last time so is fancied to gain compensation in this tight-knit sprint. In-form pair Broken Spear and Ramiro can both have a say too and chase home the selection in that order.

Having made his headway perhaps quicker than ideal prior to fading into fifth at Ayr recently, the in-form RAMIRO earns the vote.

VINTAGE CLARETS was a gutsy winner over 5f at York last month and a repeat of that effort would make him tough to beat. Richard Fahey's charge finished a neck in front of the reopposing Wen Moon, who has subsequently franked that form by coming out and going one better over 5f on the Knavesmire. Glorious Angel runs off the same mark as her narrow defeat over 7f at Musselburgh and joins Count D'Orsay on the shortlist.

WEN MOON got back to winning ways at York last time out and is weighted to go close again despite taking a 6 lb rise here. Vintage Clarets also arrives on the back of a recent success at the Knavesmire and is feared most. Manila Scouse, Count d'Orsay and Glorious Angel all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

Last year's runner-up VINTAGE CLARETS prevailed narrowly from Wen Moon in a big field at York last time and is taken to follow up.

QUEST FOR FUN was only just denied in a deeper contest than this over 7f at York last month and he could be tough to beat in these calmer waters. Tim Easterby's runner has been raised 4lb in the ratings for that effort but another bold bid looks assured. Legal Reform is feared most raised just 1lb for his three-quarters-of-a-length second over 7f at Chester last time, while better can be expected from Capital Guarantee.

A 3-time winner earlier this year, LEGAL REFORM returned from a short break with another fine effort when runner-up on yard debut at Chester last month and with conditions holding no fears, he can make a bold bid to maintain his 100% record over this C&D. Quest For Fun ran a cracker himself when just touched off at York recently and he's feared, whilst Mutanaaseq could dispel a couple of lesser runs now returned to this venue.

Heavy-ground C&D winner LEGAL REFORM (nap) was a good second on his stable debut at Chester three weeks ago and can go one better.

Valley Of Flowers completed her hat-trick at Newcastle eight days ago and, though respected, this will require a career-best performance. FLASH BARDOT has been largely consistent this season and gained a deserved victory at Newbury last month. George Bass negates most of the 4lb rise incurred for that success and she is fancied to follow up. Others to note include Dark Jedi and Matchless.

VALLEY OF FLOWERS has thrived in recent weeks, bringing up the hat-trick (all under Jo Mason) with any amount to spare over further at Newcastle 8 days ago. With the drop back in trip holding no fears (C&D winner), she can make a bold bid to bring up the 4-timer. Flash Bardot rates the chief threat, ahead of Dark Jedi.

Opposing Valley Of Flowers flies in the face of three easy wins but FLASH BARDOT took very well to soft ground at Newbury.

EBONY MAW was finally able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when winning at Ayr nine days ago. With that confidence-boosting success under his belt, Ewan Whillans' charge can shrug off a subsequent 2lb rise and double up. Can Can Girl drops in class following a good second at Ripon and must enter calculations, while The Dancing Poet appeals most of the remainder.

An open handicap so at the likely odds it is worth siding with SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH to build on her recent Newcastle tenth after an absence and bag a second course success off a handy-looking mark. Skye Breeze also returns from a spell off the track but Ed Bethell's low-mileage 4-y-o merits consideration along with course-specialist The Dancing Poet and Ayr-scorer Ebony Maw.

Recent heavy-ground winner Ebony Maw has a big shout. Watch out also for SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH, who won on heavy here in April.

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.

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.
