A competitive renewal which sees several intriguing contenders lining up, including 2021 winner Calling The Wind. He arrives here following a career-best effort when taking the Northumberland Plate and cannot be dismissed off 4lb higher. That being said, TEMPORIZE was only narrowly denied when securing a staying-on second over 2m at Ascot last month and, with the potential for more to come, is fancied to get the better of Irish raider Tronador. Hydroplane and Emiyn appeal most of the remainder.

TEMPORIZE stuck to his task gamely when runner-up at Ascot last week and could raise his game further now tackling an extreme distance, so he's put forward as the answer. Law of The Sea had been shaping up really well for his new yard prior to being struck into in the Northumberland Plate, so there's a good chance he'll bounce back here, while Typewriter and Calling The Wind are others of interest

Calling The Wind is hard to knock but LAW OF THE SEA was unlucky not to win the Chester Cup on his only soft-ground start.

Connections of NOSTRUM must have been very tempted by the Sussex Stakes, but the decision to keep their sights lower for the time being should be rewarded. A third in last year's Dewhurst remains his sole defeat and the way he powered clear of his rivals on his Newmarket comeback strongly suggested that he is a Group 1 winner in waiting. Galeron emerged from a couple of Classics with credit, while Docklands continued on his upward curve when landing the Britannia. Epictetus and Knight are on retrieval missions.

Having looked an excellent prospect when winning his first 2 starts, NOSTRUM resumed his progress on his reappearance with an impressive success in a Newmarket listed race last month. The son of Kingman is the one to beat, though Docklands has been most progressive this season and looks ready for this step up in grade. Epictetus is the pick of the remainder.

The forecast slow ground is an unknown for Nostrum, who otherwise holds strong claims. DOCKLANDS is a plausible alternative.

Blue For You was runner-up to stable companion Orbaan in last year's renewal and the five-year-old arrives 3lb well-in under a penalty following a comfortable success at York. Awaal warrants plenty of consideration based on his efforts in big-field handicaps and the return to softer ground, along with first-time cheekpieces, will benefit him, but the vote goes to LATTAM. William Haggas' four-year-old has plenty in his favour and may still have further improvement to come following his victories at the Curragh and Newcastle so far this term.

BLUE FOR YOU was 9 lb lower in the weights when runner-up in this race a year ago but he arrives in even better form this time, running out a decisive winner at York 3 weeks ago. On that evidence a 3 lb penalty leaves him just about the pick at the weights, though low-mileage 4-y-o Lattam demands respect. Of the others, first-time cheekpieces may enable Awaal to pull out even more and he's effective in the mud.

Lattam is even better than he has shown but AWAAL (nap) has very solid form in big handicaps and he acts well on testing ground.

HIGHFIELD PRINCESS arrives here on the back of three outstanding efforts in defeat this season and the switch back to Group 2 company may see the six-year-old return to winning ways. Equilateral has also been running well this season and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although the progressive Equality should not be underestimated. Those looking for an each-way alternative should consider White Lavender, who is likely to have conditions in her favour.

All ground comes alike for the fantastic mare HIGHFIELD PRINCESS and she can resume winning ways after solid efforts in the Group 1 sprints at Royal Ascot. Equality has found a chunk of improvement of late, readily making all at Sandown last time, and looks the danger in his hat-trick bid. York-winner Nymphadora is respected, while Raasel, who wasn't seen to best effect here on Tuesday, could go well at bigger odds.

Equality is on the upgrade but it will be a sad day if HIGHFIELD PRINCESS can't make the most of what looks a golden opportunity.

HAMISH was taken out of last weekend's King George on account of the ground, but he loves to get his toe in and this is a more suitable assignment for him anyway. William Haggas' grand servant numbered Teumessias Fox among his victims when lifting the Silver Cup at York and he has won five times at this level already. Mimikyu has shown some wayward tendencies so cheekpieces could help harness her undoubted ability. Candleford, a stablemate of the selection, is better than he showed on his reappearance here.

An excellent opportunity for HAMISH to complete the hat-trick under a penalty with conditions very much in his favour. Mimikyu can push the selection close if back to the form that saw her win the Park Hill last season.

Hamish sets the standard but Candleford could be a big danger and MIMIKYU may well tap back into her 3yo progress.

Plenty of connections will be arriving here confident that their charges can land this prize, but perhaps none more so than those affiliated to FLAG OF ST GEORGE. Jane Chapple-Hyam's runner was a good second over 6f at Windsor last time where he was beaten just three quarters of a length. Off the same mark, he appears primed to offer another bold bid. Starlust arrives here seeking a hat-trick and this opening mark of 89 doesn't appear out of his reach, while Loaded Gun should also be thereabouts.

Preference is for LOADED GUN, who has already proved himself in testing conditions and will appreciate the step up in trip. Starlust is going the right way and is much respected with his capable claimer taking off a valuable 5 lb, whilst Serried Ranks and Flag of St George can also make their presence felt.

Plenty have possibilities in an open nursery. The suggestion is LOADED GUN, ahead of Starlust and Flag Of St George.

True Legend registered his third win of the year at Salisbury last weekend, but he has a penalty to contend with in a stronger race against some unexposed opponents. BALANCE PLAY had Perfect Play behind him when third on Derby day at Epsom and then got off the mark when justifying favouritism at Chester. He is proven with give underfoot, as is Intricacy, who had something up his sleeve at Ascot and is a lively danger. Kintaro is bred to stay so could represent each-way value on his handicap bow.

NADER KING got the better of all bar the front-runner at Salisbury last time and has the scope to go on improving, so he takes marginal preference over Maso Bastie, who has already shown a liking for testing ground. Recent Ascot scorer Intricacy also deserves plenty of respect in what should be a hotly-contested handicap.

There should be more to come from the Sir Michael Stoute-trained NADER KING, who gets the vote ahead of Balance Play.

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.

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.
