Despite being impeded by a loose horse for most of the race, SHEEN FALLS TIME did remarkably well to fill the runner-up spot at Leopardstown last month. The daughter of Fastnet Rock makes only her third handicap start and, with the likelihood of more to come, she looks the way to go. Clear Storm finished four lengths clear of the third when runner-up at Hamilton last time and this slight drop in trip looks a good move, so William Haggas' filly has to be considered. Alacrity completes the shortlist.

FINANCER ran out a cosy winner on his handicap debut at Redcar a fortnight ago and can go on improving, so he could follow up. Clear Storm can go well again, while the well-bred Anglepoise looks a likely improver now handicapping at a low base.

An interesting race in which last week's Hamilton runner-up CLEAR STORM gets the vote ahead of Sheen Falls Time and Anglepoise.

Spartan Warrior just prevailed by the smallest of margins under a penalty at Beverley in May and Ollie Sangster's gelding commands respect in his bid for a hat-trick of victories. However, a chance can be taken on MISS ALPILLES, who failed to fire on her handicap debut at Ascot when finishing down the field, but the daughter of Sea The Stars takes a step up in trip and has a first-time hood applied. With the booking of Jamie Spencer further enhancing her claims, along with a drop in grade, she looks the one to be on. Aulis is another to note after his second at Newbury.

AULIS has proved consistent in defeat behind upwardly-mobile sorts in handicaps in recent starts and, with the Ralph Beckett stable firmly amongst the winners, he could be worthy of siding with to shed the maiden tag. Spartan Warrior has improved for the application of cheekpieces and is feared in his hat-trick bid. Across Earth and handicap-debutante Panthera are others to consider.

Top of the list is the hat-trick seeker SPARTAN WARRIOR (nap), who had four subsequent winners behind him at Beverley last time.

JEWEL OF LONDON sets a lofty standard in this contest with a rating of 89 after she finished fourth in the Chesham at Royal Ascot last month. Richard Hannon's charge may only need to produce a repeat of that display in order to prove way too good for these. The main threat might be Renewal, who shaped with bundles of promise when finishing fourth on her debut at Nottingham last month and, with normal improvement, she should go well. Li Ban can fight it out for the minor honours.

JEWEL OF LONDON sets a decent standard having finished fourth in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot 2 weeks ago. Shining Pearl showed plenty of ability at Thirsk and is sure to improve, so rates the main threat, though Renewal and Celestial Orbit also showed something to work on starting out.

Jewel Of London sets a good standard but preference is for RENEWAL, who showed plenty of promise on her recent Nottingham debut.

Vicario certainly deserves a win, having struck the crossbar on her last three starts, and she warrants plenty of respect equipped with a first-time hood, but AALTO rates the one to beat. Ian Williams' charge has been running well in defeat at a higher level and he could prove a tough nut to crack with his sights lowered. Sea The Dream and Love De Vega are others to keep an eye on.

SEA THE DREAM remains on a workable mark despite taking a 4 lb rise for his recent Catterick success so edges the vote in this tightly-knit handicap. Vicario could emerge as the main danger now she steps into handicap company, with in-form pair Love de Vega and Aalto well in the mix too.

Aalto and Sea The Dream are respected but the vote goes to Ed Walker's handicap newcomer VICARIO.

COPPULL HALL LANE looks capable of giving weight and a beating to these rivals, having progressed from her encouraging debut second when running out a comfortable winner at Beverley. Amsterdam built on his sole outing at two when runner-up on his seasonal reappearance at Salisbury last month and he rates the biggest threat, while Apotheosis, Surrey Shadow and Triumph Of Peace add further spice to the race.

In the hope the removal of a hood doesn't backfire, APOTHEOSIS is selected to build on a most-encouraging debut third at Kempton a month ago. Surrey Shadow was noted finishing with running left at Doncaster so he has to command respect, as do Coppull Hall Lane and Amsterdam in what could be a deep novice.

Several of these are closely matched on the figures and this is a tight call but the vote goes to recent Salisbury runner-up AMSTERDAM.

Recent Pontefract runner-up Naval Academy is due to go up 2lb in the near future and he must enter calculations, while Streak Lightning and Gentle Ellen could also make their presence felt. The vote, however, goes to KING OF WAR. The son of Churchill has been running consistently well at a higher level and his class may shine through now dropped in grade.

NAVAL ACADEMY shaped quite well when clear with a pair of 3-y-os at Pontefract last time and turns out again before a 2 lb rise for that kicks in. The in-form King of War looks the obvious danger.

This can go to NAVAL ACADEMY who has improved with each run since a wind op and is 2lb well in after a useful show at Pontefract.

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. 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.
