Al Hujaija pulled too hard at Newmarket last month and failed to get home as a result of that, but should benefit from this drop back in trip. However, the vote goes to RULING SOVEREIGN, who was a promising fourth at Windsor on debut. The George Scott-trained filly was very green on that occasion and looks sure to have benefitted from the experience, while the booking of James Doyle looks another positive sign. Adaay In Devon got off the mark in impressive style earlier this month and is also respected.

BETTIES BAY got off the mark at the third attempt at Newbury last month and, with that form working out well, she's taken to defy a penalty. The step up in trip ought to suit Toosha, while Ruling Sovereign will be more streetwise with her initial outing under her belt and can also figure.

In an open race, the vote goes to BETTIES BAY with Al Hujaija, Adaay In Devon and Ruling Sovereign also high on the list.

An interesting mix of form versus potential here. Easy Haydock winner FOREVER BLUE looks a serious player and may represent a bit of value. Ralph Beckett's filly quickened clear inside the final furlong on her introduction in the manner of a very promising juvenile and there should be more to come. Elegant Madame, who could be a surprise package at a price after her cosy debut success, and Albany Stakes eighth Carla's Way are others to consider.

PRETTY CRYSTAL fared best of these in the Princess Margaret at Ascot and can go well, as can easy Thirsk-winner Darnation.

Princess Margaret runner-up PRETTY CRYSTAL gets the vote over fellow North Yorkshire raider Darnation.

Aldaary boasts some high-class form and, given he has won over a mile, he has to be taken very seriously in his bid to gain a first success at this level. However, CHARYN came out best when the duo finished third and fourth in the Sussex Stakes here 24 days ago and, granted his rock-solid previous efforts, Roger Varian's colt is taken to add to the Group 2 success he gained in France last October. Epictetus won a Group 3 over this C&D earlier in the month and also looks a big player.

ALDAARY hasn't been at his very smart best so far this term but a tactical affair in testing ground in the Sussex Stakes last time wasn't ideal and, down in grade, he's worth a chance to show he retains all of his ability. Thoroughbred Stakes winner Epictetus is an obvious danger and there's a case to be made for Charyn.

The safest option in a tricky race is EPICTETUS, who turned over a warm favourite over C&D last time and looked full value for the win.

STAR OF ORION was a very good third in the International Stakes over 7f at Ascot last time and he appears the one to beat. Ralph Beckett's charge was beaten just three-quarters of a length in third on that occasion and he can enjoy a change of fortunes, despite being raised 2lb in the ratings for that effort. Ramazan is feared most after his one-length success over 7f at Chepstow off 3lb lower earlier this month, while Rhoscolyn should also be taken seriously.

RHOSCOLYN posted several good efforts from higher marks last season, and having confirmed himself as back in form by winning here earlier in the month, he's fancied to gain a second win of the campaign, with a quick turnaround a plausible excuse for an underwhelming effort last time. Star of Orion has found his groove again lately, though the highest draw presents a minor concern, whilst the progressive 3yo Ramazan and Thursday's York winner Ropey Guest also merit plenty of respect.

Rhoscolyn is primed to go well but BLESS HIM has good claims on his best 2022 form and a Bunbury Cup fourth in July.

LUCKY FIFTEEN has already been a terrific servant for connections this season and, despite a further 7lb rise, the four-timer looks very much on the cards on the back of another comfortable success at Ffos Las last month. A winner over C&D on his penultimate outing, the son of Lope De Vega is preferred to narrow Hamilton second Mr Professor and Graignes, who is out again quickly after scoring at Sandown on Sunday.

LUCKY FIFTEEN is improving at a rate of knots and could still be ahead of his mark so he's narrowly preferred to the revitalised Graignes, who is unpenalised for his ready Sandown success last weekend. Crack Shot may prove best of the remainder.

Lucky Fifteen still has potential but GRAIGNES has recaptured form with a vengeance and goes unpenalised for his recent Sandown win

This could go the way of recent distance runner-up FAUSTUS. He gets to compete off the same mark and, given Connor Planas knocks 3lb off the five-year-old's back, he is fancied to make a return to winning ways. Glamorous Breeze is not without a chance following a decent third at Ascot last month, while Lord Riddiford, a four-time C&D winner, and Angle Land are others to consider.

LORD RIDDIFORD has often saved his best for this track, forging clear when bagging a fourth C&D success at the start of the month. That race has thrown up winners subsequently and he can go well again from a 7 lb higher mark. Glamorous Breeze and Lihou are a couple of others to consider.

All eyes will be on LORD RIDDIFORD (nap) who has a near-flawless record here and can follow up an easy win at the Glorious meeting.

There wasn't much to separate Ravens Ark (second) and Vaynor (third) over C&D in June and both are likely to be thereabouts again. However, NATHANAEL GREENE has been running consistently well all season without getting his head in front and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity by William Haggas. He went off 11/4 when fourth behind subsequent Ascot Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami over C&D in May, and that form reads well in the context of this handicap.

NATHANAEL GREENE shaped like the best horse at the weights for most of the way at Haydock last time and he's worth a chance to confirm that promise. Zealandia is really hitting form and ranks as the main threat ahead of Captain Kane.

On good going, this could be where VAYNOR strikes for the first time this season, with Zealandia feared most on his step up in trip.

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.
