Although Ribal sets the standard with an official rating of 77, he might struggle to concede weight all round and, with that in mind, SPIRIT OF THE ROSE is preferred. Clive Cox's filly shaped with promise when finishing third to a pair of previous winners at Kempton on her racecourse debut, so natural improvement might be enough today. Cocktail Dress appeals as a likely candidate for the George Boughey team, while stablemate Marching Mac is no forlorn hope either.

COCKTAIL DRESS made a promising start at Newcastle in September and seems sure to improve, so she's taken to make a winning return. Spirit of The Rose can progress and might be the danger ahead of the more-exposed Ribal.

Sovereign Nation can do better over this trip but SPIRIT OF THE ROSE shaped nicely on debut and rates a likely big improver.

BEAUZON's sole attempt at this trip didn't amount to much, but the in-form son of Brazen Beau kicked clear late on over 6f to complete a Wolverhampton four-timer and he is fancied to extend the winning sequence. Boafo Boy left favourite-backers frustrated when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month, but he didn't take long to make amends and a subsequent 4lb rise for that Southwell triumph looks fair. Blackjack can chase the pair home, ahead of Triggered.

TRIGGERED was noted doing good late work when third behind a thriving sort at Kempton 8 days ago and with his rider now taking off a handy 5 lb, he could be the way to go. Boafo Boy might be the chief threat.

Beauzon's winning spree could be set to end with both Blackjack and BOAFO BOY (nap) making plenty of appeal in opposition.

The unexposed STOLEN ENCOUNTER took another step forward when sent over 1m4f at Wolverhampton, where he was narrowly denied, and the son of Cracksman is fancied to go one better now upped further in distance. Foinix continues to knock on the door and he's unlikely to be far away, especially with the aid of Joe Leavy's 7lb claim. Good Time Ahead was never seriously involved over hurdles last time out, but he is on a competitive mark back in this sphere.

A few in with a squeak but returning from 9 months off, STOLEN ENCOUNTER improved for the step up in trip when going down by a narrow margin at Wolverhampton earlier this month and with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Archie Watson's 4-y-o can open his account. Foinix is holding his form well this year so he's second choice, with Liberated Lad and top-weight Scarborough Castle taken to fight out third.

The unexposed STOLEN ENCOUNTER looks the one to beat having only just lost out on his return at Wolverhampton last time.

LUPSET FLOSSY POP has filled the runner-up spot on both of her starts for the Gary Brown stable, in classified events at Kempton, and she now takes a step down in distance. The daughter of Kodiac arguably brings the best recent form to the contest and she can go one better. Bear To Dream has produced some solid efforts of late, including when third over C&D on her penultimate outing, and should go well again. Blackcurrent is another to consider after his latest fourth at Newcastle.

LUPSET FLOSSY POP has made a good start for her new yard and gets the vote back in trip here with Hollie Doyle up. Universal Grace is respected, while Blackcurrent and Indie Skies (due to run at Kempton on Wednesday) are also in the mix.

Yesterday's Kempton winner Indie Skies is of obvious interest but BLACKCURRENT might be the answer.

FIRST COMPANY is in smart form, with two wins from his last four appearances, and his most recent second at Southwell reads well in the context of this race. Mark Loughnane's gelding is only 1lb higher and he can continue his fine run. Thismydream, who has finished third on each of his last two starts, has been dropped 1lb for the latest of those displays so it would be no surprise to see him involved, along with Come On Girl after her fourth at Southwell.

An open-looking sprint in which the suggestion is THANK THE LORD, who needs to put a lesser effort behind him but had been in good form prior and goes particularly well at this track. Northcliff is a long-standing maiden, but he may emerge as the main danger back sprinting and with Jamie Spencer booked, with Come On Girl and First Company both not out of things, either.

Thank The Lord can leave a quiet run behind him but FIRST COMPANY is enjoying a good winter and can go in again.

Reverberation failed to justify favouritism over C&D, but he was far from disgraced in second and he remains in great heart so has to be considered. However, the vote goes to FILLYFUDGE, who has had a couple of spins over timber and was well beaten, but returns to the Flat on a workable mark and goes for the in-form Amy Murphy stable. Mirabello Bay has been thereabouts in this grade since December and could also get into contention.

Having landed a quick-fire hat-trick in January, OPTIK was far from disgraced in a strong race for the grade at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and he's worth another chance to prove his present mark remains a workable one. Reverberation is enjoying a good spell and is feared most, ahead of his stablemate Mirabello Bay.

The vote goes to REVERBERATION who has been in fine form at this venue in recent months and can make it 2-2 under Ethan Jones.

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.
