CAPITAL THEORY wasn't beaten far at Chelmsford last month and, given that was his first start since last November, it is reasonable to suggest the five-year-old can build on that performance off the same mark. Ravenscraig Castle is feared most given he is effective at this trip and has gone well off this sort of mark before, while Thirsk winner Two Brothers commands respect despite stepping up a furlong.

SIMPLE STAR looks the way to go on the back of his excellent reappearance Musselburgh second. Recent Thirsk scorer Two Brothers rates the chief threat to Dianne Sayer's course winner, with Capital Theory appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

The suggestion is CAPITAL THEORY, who gave a pretty good account on Polytrack last month and returns to turf on a workable mark.

AIRMAN impressed when landing a maiden at Beverley on his only start as a juvenile and appeals strongly on his belated return to action, with his stable having notably already scored with a couple of similar types this season. Capo Vaticano, the only other winner in the race, is an obvious threat with her sex allowance. Gaenari was highly tired in Ireland and France last year and is a must for consideration too.

CAPO VATICANO got off to the perfect start at Chelmsford City and with progress very much on the cards Andrew Balding's daughter of Calyx can go in again. Fahrenheit Seven chased her home that day and again looks set for second best ahead of Irish-challenger Gaenari and the returning Airman.

He has fitness to prove after his 286-day absence but AIRMAN impressed on last summer's debut and could still be anything.

Already a dual course winner, Cavalier Approach has to be of interest in this company, although similar comments apply to Giselles Izzy, who seems to save her best for the stiff finish at this track. However, HONOUR YOUR DREAMS is also back on a happy hunting ground and, off the same mark as when winning over this C&D on soft ground last summer, Adrian Keatley's gelding appeals most.

CAVALIER APPROACH should strip fitter for his reappearance Southwell seventh and can capitalise on a lenient mark to bag a third course success. Henery Hawk is already a two-time scorer this term and can have a say, with Honour Your Dreams and Grandad Bob not discounted either in an open sprint.

Cavalier Approach is respected but SON OF SAMPERS will find this easier than last time and might be ready to strike soon.

WHERE'S JEFF appeared revitalised by a break when landing the spoils at Beverley recently. A 1lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable and he is taken to follow up. The biggest threat may emerge from My Little Queens, who should appreciate a return to this distance. Triple course winner Spanish Hustle also warrants respect on his return to this venue and Jim Goldie's gelding shouldn't be taken lightly.

WHERE'S JEFF is taken to enhance his excellent course record and land this race for the second year running. Spanish Hustle, My Little Queens and Jaminoz also know where the winning post is here and can give the selection most to do in that order.

Where's Jeff is hard to knock but MY LITTLE QUEENS is dangerously handicapped and her latest effort was a bit more like it.

Arkenstaar posted an encouraging effort on his return to action when third at Pontefract last month. The four-year-old is entitled to build on that effort and he's likely to be the mix once more, but NATZOR looks open to more improvement. The David O'Meara-trained gelding offered plenty to work with on his stable/seasonal bow at Newcastle in March and a reproduction of that runner-up effort may prove good enough. Trais Fluors and Black Friday are also noted.

ARKENSTAAR made a decent return when third at Pontefract 2 weeks ago, especially as he left the impression the outing may just have been needed, so he's taken to enhance his excellent track record back at this venue. Natzor lost his way for Archie Watson but made a highly positive start for this yard when just failing at Newcastle on return so is an obvious threat, while Shine On Brendan is another with a good record here.

As he is likely to have come on for his reappearance run, course specialist ARKENSTAAR looks to have a sound chance.

GOOD MORNING ALEX strolled home by over four lengths on soft ground at Wetherby last week and connections are sending him back to the track with a 6lb penalty, assuming the handicapper will put him up more than that in the future. He may follow up if he handles the quicker going, with top-weight Wonderful Lives and handicap debutant Starlight Stanley others who could go well.

GOOD MORNING ALEX confirmed his effectiveness on turf in no uncertain terms when bolting up at Wetherby last week and a penalty looks unlikely to stop him improving his already impressive strike rate. Wonderful Lives failed to meet expectations at Newcastle but cheekpieces now go on and he rates the main threat.

The penalised GOOD MORNING ALEX looks to have an excellent chance of following up last Sunday's win at Wetherby.

Conquest Of Power can go well after his recent Lingfield success on Thursday, but that was on the all-weather and there is no guarantee he can repeat that under a penalty on turf. He can still get involved, but top-weight BURJ MALINKA is preferred. Trained by Adrian Nicholls, who is making a name for himself with his sprinters, he kept on well to win at Thirsk last month and won't mind any further rain. Catherine Chroi and Ignac Lamar are others to consider.

CATHERINE CHROI is in the form of her life and had something to spare last time, so she's fancied to add to her excellent recent run. Fellow last-time-out winner's Burj Malinka and Conquest of Power are clear dangers in a decent race for the grade.

The progressive CATHERINE CHROI (nap), who escapes a penalty for her Ayr win on Monday, is taken to beat Thirsk winner Burj Malinka

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.
