NOBLE JOURNEY just about sets the standard with his debut fourth over 1m at Newmarket and, bred to appreciate this step up in trip (dam Group 1 winner over 1m4f), he rates the one to beat. Arouse and Devil's Brigade probably ran to a similar level first time out and both could step forward to land a blow. However, newcomer Sea And Sun might prove the biggest threat making the trip down from North Yorkshire.

While Devil's Brigade and Arouse also showed significant form first time out, it was NOBLE JOURNEY who most looked the part.

MAD UNICORN edged out Redditizio on just her second handicap start at Wolverhampton five days ago and, with the promise of more to come, she is fancied to follow up under a 6lb penalty. The latter is officially 2lb well-in and looks the main danger, although neither American Flight or Go Lockers Go should be underestimated as they step into handicap company for the first time.

Mad Unicorn is of obvious interest but the two well-bred nursery newcomers American Flight and GO LOCKERS GO can fight it out.

Despite the 259-day absence, CHERRY COBBLER gets the vote on his handicap debut. Stuart Williams' charge showed a likeable attitude when making all over 5f at Southwell last time and an opening mark of 76 looks within his compass. Don Pacifico returns after a gelding operation and has every chance on the form of his narrow Wolverhampton defeat two starts ago, while Artagnan might improve for a first-time tongue-tie.

Artagnan and Hello Zaman are 3yos to consider but so is DON PACIFICO, who returns from a break having been gelded.

Not seen since August 2024 when runner-up at Newmarket, EVENING SAIGON has been gelded in the interim and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to strike on his handicap debut. A mark of 85 could prove lenient and it may be the experienced The Thames Boatman who gives him the most to think about following a creditable runner-up effort over shorter at Lingfield last month. Inishfallen and Mesaafi may also have a say.

The Thames Boatman should be involved, but MESAAFI ran well from a wide draw last time and his C&D win in June was impressive.

A winner here over 1m in August, GIANT looked to be finding his way back to that form when runner-up over C&D last week, and he is taken to go one better off an unchanged mark. Mister Mojito has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort over track and trip when third, while Revolutionise had been in consistent form before a mediocre run at Kempton most recently.

Preference is for GIANT (nap) who is 2-3 at this track and was runner-up behind a major improver over C&D last week.

Runner-up on two of her last three starts since scoring at Lingfield in June, EDERGOLE'S GIFT narrowly sets the standard on form and she can strike from a good draw with jockey Connor Planas taking off a valuable 3lb. Valadero had been in consistent form before being hampered at Wolverhampton last time out and he must enter calculations, along with Newcastle second My Mate Beattie.

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to EDERGOLE'S GIFT, who went close in a similar race at Lingfield last time.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A confident vote goes to MORTE POINT, whose Newbury triumph is sandwiched in between two fine runner-up efforts. The son of Due Diligence undoubtedly has much less to prove than some of his rivals and the progressive gelding is preferred to Arctic Grey, who receives a welcome ease in class having failed to land a blow in a class 2 at Ayr latest. The Quiet Gent is already proven on Polytrack and he didn't run too badly at Kempton last time.

Top of the list is MORTE POINT, who won at Newbury before a close second in a Class 2 event at Doncaster last month.

The application of a first-time visor (retained) appeared to work the oracle for MY BOY HARRY, who struck at Kempton last Friday. Ashley Lewis negates much of the 6lb penalty courtesy of his 5lb claim and, although a wide draw is far from ideal, the three-year-old is unexposed over a mile and should have more to offer. Iftikhaar won at odds of 40/1 over C&D last month but disappointed latest and the blinkers will need to have a positive effect. Kessaar Power could be a bigger threat.

Wild Embers is interesting upped in trip but KESSAAR POWER is marginally preferred now back on AW after a recent run.

WYLD BILL has two wins from five since switching to handicaps, the latest of those over C&D. He almost added a third win to his tally at Newcastle latest but ultimately weakened into second late on having been a little keen. He's thriving at present, though, and from a handy draw he is taken to regain the winning thread. Masqool hit the frame at Wolverhampton last time and is likely to be thereabouts, while Voix De Bocelli appeals most of the remainder.

Masqool should go well but WYLD BILL is a progressive C&D winner who should have more to offer on AW.

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.

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.
