AMLETO proved a ready winner of a Chester maiden in May and, with the second subsequently going close in handicap company, William Haggas' gelding could be well treated debuting in this sphere. Westerton has shaped as if he would be suited by this stiffer test and isn't taken lightly. The son of Belardo could emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Struth and Tagabawa, who have both performed with credit at this level.

A strong staying handicap for 3-y-os with a host arriving with claims including FOX JOURNEY. He showed a likeable attitude as he doubled his career tally over this trip at Newbury 12 days ago and he could be up to taking another step forward from this 5 lb higher mark. Westerton, stepping up in trip, and low-mileage Amleto are others to consider, whilst Clan Chieftain could also get back on track following a wind op now making his handicap debut.

Amleto and Clan Chieftain are unexposed but WESTERTON and Struth, two more experienced candidates, are preferred.

This could go the way of the hat-trick seeking WHITE MOONLIGHT, who steps up in grade following a comfortable success in Listed company on the all-weather last month. With the potential of more to come, she is fancied to get the better of Fast Response, who finished seven and a quarter lengths behind the selection at Musselburgh on her penultimate outing. Others of interest include Jumbly and Matilda Picotte, who both drop in grade from their latest runs.

JUMBLY has started out well for Joseph O'Brien and shaped as though this return to 7f would be ideal when a fading fourth over 1m in Royal Ascot's Duke of Cambridge Stakes so edges the vote. Breege heads the list of dangers on the back of her excellent Sandringham runner-up effort at the Royal meeting, with Jersey-fifth Olivia Maralda and hat-trick seeking White Moonlight also in the mix in a very competitive Group 3 event.

With Olivia Maralda having a bit more to prove on softer than good, BREEGE is the tip ahead of Fast Response and Jumbly.

Big Evs was an imposing winner of the Windsor Castle in June and it's difficult to envisage him being far away, but preference is for KYLIAN. A beaten favourite on his first two starts, the penny appeared to drop at Newcastle and he took another significant step forward when bolting up in the Dragon Stakes at Sandown. Purosangue weakened late on in the July Stakes at Newmarket but, down in both trip and grade, he's likely to go well. Baheer and Shagraan are far from out of this either.

BIG EVS landed the Windsor Castle with aplomb 6 weeks ago, and with that level of form enough to win most recent renewals of this contest, he's fancied to take this step up to pattern level in his stride and get the better of Kylian, who arrives chasing a hat-trick but may have to settle for silver on this occasion. Shagraan continues to go from strength-to-strength and now down at the minimum trip for the first time he can do battle with Barnwell Boy for third spot.

Royal Ascot winner BIG EVS could take some stopping armed with the rail draw, provided he copes with the ground conditions.

PADDINGTON has improved markedly this year as he started off in a Naas handicap off 97. A couple of starts later he was winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh and the Group 1 wins have just kept on coming, as he was awesome in the St James's Palace Stakes before showing his versatility to beat Emily Upjohn over 10 furlongs in the Coral-Eclipse. It is very difficult to get away from Aidan O'Brien's son of Siyouni and he's taken to have too much class for Queen Anne Stakes second Inspiral lining up in receipt of 4lb from the daughter of Frankel. Chindit might have a squeak if he can come back to his Lockinge form.

It's slightly surprising that Aidan O'Brien hasn't won this race since 2016 but in PADDINGTON he saddles a top-notch 3-y-o who is strongly fancied to complete a superb 6-timer in 2023. Inspiral is very smart in her own right and following an excellent reappearance run at Ascot she will hopefully ensure the selection is made to work for it.

Having won the Irish Guineas, St James's Palace Stakes and Eclipse, this seaon's Group 1-winning machine PADDINGTON is the one to beat.

TROPICAL ISLAND justified strong market support when making a winning debut at Ripon and, open to any amount of improvement, she could take this step up in class in her stride. Dapperling must enter calculations following her massive effort when second in the Weatherbys Super Sprint, while Flora Of Bermuda also drops in grade following an honourable sixth in the Queen Mary. Juniper Berries was a fine fourth in that contest but could then only manage seventh in the Super Sprint.

An excellent race of its type with 11 previous winners in the field. FLORA OF BERMUDA emerged with plenty of credit to finish first home on the far side when sixth of 26 in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot so earns the vote. Dapperling had a few of these in behind when an excellent second in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury so must be respected, while Make It Easy and Tropical Island both have potential for better.

The prospect of testing ground sways the vote in favour of INDISPENSABLE who raised her game in an Irish Listed race on soft.

In a wide-open event marginal preference is for the highly-progressive LA ISLA MUJERES, who created a big impression when accounting for a decent field by seven lengths at Salisbury last time. An 11lb rise for that success will make her life tougher here, but the daughter of Lope De Vega may well defy that on her way to stakes company. Decoration and Therapist also merit plenty of respect following some encouraging placed efforts on their most recent starts. Others to note are Sirona, Queen Regent and Value Added.

DECORATION has been going the right way in each of her 4 starts so far, only narrowly beaten by another improver at Windsor 9 days ago, so she can continue her progress to gain a first handicap success. Heading the list of dangers is La Isla Mujeres, whose trainer Ralph Beckett has won this race twice in the last 3 years, while Queen Regent also merits consideration.

The pick is QUEEN REGENT (nap). She's unraced on turf but her latest run behind Value Added over 9.4f was brimful of promise.

THUNDER BALL ran a blinder to finish fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, having been raised a 16lb for his Newbury novice success. The Night Of Thunder gelding has gone up a further 3lb for that latest effort, but he is still improving and could have further progress in his locker. Paul & Oliver Cole's charge receives a tentative vote in a wide-open contest, while Rhoscolyn, who bounced back to form with a fair second at Beverley nine days ago, can give him plenty to think about. Isla Kai, Darkness, Urban Sprawl and Classic are just a few others to consider.

RHOSCOLYN's runner-up effort in the 2021 Golden Mile shows he can cope with the demands of big-field handicaps here and he's worth siding with after showing signs that he may be ready to capitalise on his reduced mark at Beverley last week. Charlie Johnston's Love de Vega should be spot on for this after his recent comeback outing and is of interest with Frankie Dettori getting the call-up. Richard Hannon has won this 3 times since 2018 so his pair Classic and Dark Thirty also merit respect.

Richard Hannon has won three of the last five runnings and the stable's lightly raced 3yo CLASSIC earns the vote after his Sandown win.

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.
