A number of these hold claims, but MERCIAN WARRIOR is the least exposed member of the party and his second in a valuable sales race at the Curragh three weeks ago looks very strong form. He may improve again for stretching out in distance and rates the one to beat. Ebt's Guard has been knocking on the door and should be thereabouts once again, while Pink Satin may bounce back to form with a tongue-tie equipped.

A few with chances but MERCIAN WARRIOR looks to have got in lightly for his nursery bow on the back of a fine recent Curragh second so earns a confident vote. Sandown runner-up Rating heads the list of dangers, although Salisbury-scorer Mr Baloo and in-form maiden Ebt's Guard can have a say too.

Ebt's Guard and Mr Baloo are big players but MERCIAN WARRIOR (nap) has to be of interest off this mark.

Golden West did the job nicely at Newcastle on debut and has every chance of following up, but SAYEDATY SADATY's added experience may just give him the edge. Andrew Balding's colt made up for an unfortunate Windsor experience when an easy winner at Kempton (second has won since) and, unlike Golden West, he also boasts solid form on turf. Victorious Street and True Wisdom make up the ingredients for a small but spicy event.

GOLDEN WEST made the perfect start at Newcastle 7 weeks ago and looks sure to improve so he's taken to remain unbeaten. Victorious Street might be the danger ahead of the wayward-looking Sayedaty Sadaty and the filly True Wisdom.

An interesting race in which all four have claims. VICTORIOUS STREET ran to a fair level at Haydock despite a troubled run.

Everything points to a massive run from the hat-trick seeking FORCEFUL SPEED. He built on his gritty Pontefract success when scoring comfortably at Redcar and today's extra quarter-mile is unlikely to pose any problems. Another plus point is that the George Boughey-trained three-year-old has top apprentice Billy Loughnane doing the steering again. Glenister is having an excellent season and should go well once more, while C&D scorer Bug Boy also holds claims.

Progressive 3-y-o FORCEFUL SPEED is taken to complete the hat-trick up in trip. Glenister is another who has improved this season and rates the main threat ahead of the in-form Bug Boy.

Sir Mark Prescott's GLENISTER has got himself high in the weights but that's not to say he won't be competitive once more.

This tricky track tends to bring the best out in SOTO SIZZLER (three-time course winner) and despite a below-par effort at Southwell last time, he'd be hard to resist at decent odds off a mark 6lb lower than his last victory. Burglar still appears to have more to offer judged on last month's second behind the unbeaten Measured Time at Newmarket. He is another to consider in an open race along with Naxos, who still looked to be improving at Wolverhampton.

NAXOS is on the up and might get his own way in front, so he's preferred to Terwada (engaged Newmarket Saturday) who shaped nicely in a competitive event at York last time. Burglar is another one with potential and a case can be made for all of the remainder.

This can go to NAXOS, who ran a big race when upped to a middle-distance trip on Tapeta last time and is probably still on the upgrade.

It's hard to know what Soigneux Bell achieved in winning his sole start on soft ground in France, but Gary Moore's new recruit faces a tough task conceding 12lb to STRONG IMPACT. Roger Varian's filly has done little wrong in finishing runner-up in her last three starts over this sort of trip and won't get many better opportunities. Of the remainder, it will be interesting to see what the market makes of John Butler's newcomer Letsbefrank - an already gelded son of Frankel.

STRONG IMPACT ran a cracker back from 3 months off in a Sandown handicap recently and it will be disappointing if she can't get the job done here. French-winner Soigneux Bell looks the danger starting out for Gary Moore, although the well-bred Letsbefrank is an intriguing newcomer.

Consistent filly STRONG IMPACT is taken to get off the mark. Interesting newcomer Letsbefrank is second choice.

Shot Of Love took well to this track when making all over C&D recently, but OVERNIGHT OATS was beginning to bear down on him close to the line and may be able to reverse the form on 2lb better terms if delivered a bit earlier. Hi Clare also ran well when runner-up over track and trip and should remain competitive along with Fly Zone, who may improve for the introduction of blinkers after hanging under pressure when second at Wolverhampton.

OVERNIGHT OATS finished just behind Shot of Love over C&D last month but the Muir & Grassick gelding is slightly better off at the weights this time and is narrowly fancied to turn the tables. Shot of Love made full use of an uncontested lead on that occasion but is clearly in top form and should prove a stern rival for the selection once more, whilst Hi Clare also ran well over C&D last time and merits respect.

Somewhat tentatively, one more chance is given to FLY ZONE. Second choice is Hi Clare.

Last year's winner Marlay Park took full advantage of a sliding mark when notching a fourth C&D success but a 4lb rise may leave him vulnerable in a rematch with stablemate SECRET STRENGTH (raised 2lb), who almost reeled him having being denied a clear run at a crucial stage. Farasi Lane and Man Of Eden are others who could be judged unlucky losers recently, although a sharp 7f is possibly not ideal for either.

MAN OF EDEN has shaped as if ahead of his mark on more than one occasion and, having had excuses at Ascot last time, he's worth a chance to belatedly put it all together. Course-specialist Marlay Park is an obvious threat and Farasi Lane should go well again.

Several possibles but FARASI LANE is enjoying a good season and is marginally preferred to Man Of Eden.

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.
