SISTERANDBROTHER made a highly encouraging first start for the Harriet Dickin stable when occupying the runner-up berth over 1m2f at Bath recently. The son of Sixties Icon should have no issues with this rise in distance and he could be the one to beat off an unchanged rating. The main threat might be She's A Novelty, who was last seen completing a double at Haydock in September and she should go well on her return. Southern Voyage is another to note.

A second outing in quick succession after a lay-off is always a slight concern but SISTERANDBROTHER was nicely clear of the rest when a narrowly denied at Bath last Friday and looks well treated off the same mark. The unexposed Knights Affair was better than the result on his Ayr reappearance and is second choice ahead of the returning She's A Novelty.

The 6yo SISTERANDBROTHER gets the nod after he was perhaps a little unfortunate not to win last week at Bath.

Fifty Nifty put more experienced rivals to the sword in comfortable style on his debut at Yarmouth and he is likely to have plenty more to offer. However, he could find it tough to give 5lb away to AMPHIUS, who finished fourth behind subsequent Dante winner Economics on his first outing at Newbury and he would have learnt a great deal from that experience. With normal improvement, he could prove very hard to beat, while English Harbour and Indelible are just two others to consider.

ENGLISH HARBOUR showed plenty when beaten only by a very smart prospect in a maiden at Yarmouth last month and shades the vote over Amphius, who also made a promising start when fourth in a maiden won by Dante winner Economics. Sword was a big eyecatcher when fourth in a novice at Kempton in the autumn and is another to consider in what looks a strong novice.

Roger Varian has won two of the last three runnings and ENGLISH HARBOUR's likeable Yarmouth debut looks all the better now.

ROARIN' SUCCESS finished second in a class 3 event at Ascot on her return to the fray earlier in the month and she was only put up 1lb for that performance. The daughter of Roaring Lion takes a drop in grade and she looks the one to beat, with her main threat possibly being Nikovo, who has recorded three wins from his last four starts and has to be respected. Of the remainder, Twirling makes most appeal after her third at Nottingham.

NIVOKO is absolutely thriving for David O'Meara, barely breaking sweat when winning for the third time in 4 starts at Ayr last week, and on that evidence, a penalty won't prevent another success. Twirling, Roarin' Success and The Cookstown Cafu are potential threats.

5yo NIKOVO (nap) has gone from strength to strength this term and can make it 4-5 under a 5lb penalty for his easy Ayr win.

MICKLEY was quite taking when readily dispatching a subsequent winner in a maiden at Southwell in March and he looks one to follow. Edward Bethell's gelding enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark and a double could beckon. Having made all at Lingfield earlier this month, Secret Bid could prove the biggest threat if able to gain an easy lead, while Mono River and Love Billy Boy also warrant consideration.

MICKLEY impressed both visually and on the clock when scoring at Southwell in March and looks to have been let off lightly for his handicap debut, so gets the verdict over Love Billy Boi, who has held his form well in defeat this term and recent Lingfield winner Secret Bid.

Improving MICKLEY looks to start life in handicaps on a good mark and can follow up his stylish Southwell success (form been franked).

Supreme King must enter the reckoning having romped home over C&D earlier this month, but a 10lb rise in the ratings will undoubtedly make life tougher for David Evans' gelding. TIGER CRUSADE hasn't been disgraced in two outings on the all-weather since his trip to Meydan in February and this drop into class 4 company could prove just the tonic. The seven-year-old edges the verdict, while dual track winner Be Proud is unlikely to be far away either.

SUPREME KING could barely have been more impressive when sluicing up over C&D earlier in the month and David Evans' unexposed sprinter promises to follow up. Rhythm N Hooves is becoming well treated on the pick of his form and may be working his way back to his peak, whilst Be Proud should run another solid race.

David Evans' upwardly-mobile sprinter SUPREME KING is taken to make light of a 10lb weights hike for his recent wide-margin C&D success

Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success over further at Redcar, THE CRAFTY MOLE is in rude health at present and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from completing the hat-trick. A highly creditable second on his handicap bow at Kempton last month, Sir Galahad is a key player stepped up in distance. L'Eagle Aid wasn't beaten far at Beverley on his latest start and also holds claims.

SIR GALAHAD looked a different proposition when runner-up at Kempton last month and remains open to improvement. He can open his account. Monsieur Melee and The Crafty Mole rate the principal dangers.

One of two to pull well clear of the others when scoring at Redcar recently, THE CRAFTY MOLE could still be ahead of the handicapper.

KING OF THE PLAINS (fourth) didn't get the clearest of runs on his return at Ascot and he is taken to overturn form with the reopposing Great Bedwyn (second) on this occasion. That was the four-year-old's first run for new connections and he is entitled to improve. He may prove too good for Windsor second Lexington Knight, as well as Knightswood, who has strong claims on his penultimate effort at Ripon.

GREAT BEDWYN ran a cracker on his reappearance at Ascot earlier this month and makes plenty of appeal here. KIng of The Plains and Lexington Knight may provide the chief threat.

Progressive 4yo GREAT BEDWYN might have been unlucky not to make a winning seasonal debut at Ascot three weeks ago and gets the nod.

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.
