Plenty of connections will be arriving here hopeful of their runners claiming this fiendishly difficult race with the tentative selection being HAFEET ALAIN. Ed Walker's charge has been running consistently well of late, having been narrowly denied at Newmarket last time, and he can defy a 2lb rise in the ratings. Poet Master is seeking a hat-trick and this opening mark of 92 could prove lenient, while the impressive Newmarket scorer Isle Of Jura deserves a closer look, despite being slapped with a 14lb rise for that success.

ISLE OF JURA had so much in hand at Newmarket last time that even a 14 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick with further improvement very much on the cards. Hafeet Alain has struck up a good partnership with Connor Planas in recent months and is second choice ahead of the very promising Poet Master.

The unbeaten POET MASTER impressed here last time and could be superior to his handicap debut mark. Isle Of Jura is feared most.

AL AASY is the highest rated of these and he looks the one to beat after bouncing back to form last time. William Haggas' charge won comfortably over 1m2f at Newbury on that occasion and he can build on that success if turning up at his best for an in-form trainer. The Godolphin runner King Of Conquest looks the biggest danger after running on well in the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last time and this extra yardage appears likely to suit, while Savvy Victory should also be thereabouts.

AL AASY isn't the most straightforward but he showed his class when beating Phantom Flight by 1½ lengths in a listed race at Newbury 3 weeks ago and this low-mileage 6-y-o is more than capable of following up. King of Conquest's winning run came to an end in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot, though he wasn't seen to best effect that day so rates the main threat ahead of 3-y-o filly Midnight Mile.

Al Aasy looked good again last time but slight preference is for the 3yo filly MIDNIGHT MILE who's the one with potential.

KHINJANI was a clear second on her latest outing over 1m2f at Newbury and this looks like a good opportunity of going one better. The winner of that race has since come out and franked the form after winning at Sandown, so Ed Walker's charge appears primed to defy this 3lb rise in the ratings. Ala Kaifi is likely to give the selection the most to think about after being touched off over 1m2f at Newmarket last time and a repeat of that effort would see him go close, while Arkenstaar can also hit the frame.

KHINJANI bumped into a progressive one at Newbury last time and she is taken to deservedly open her account. She may have most to fear from Ala Kaifi, who went down fighting on his handicap bow at Newmarket and perhaps the addition of blinkers will help eke out a little more. So Farhh So Good has a bit to find with the selection on Newbury form and will probably have to settle for minor honours once again.

With the form of his handicap debut near-miss at Newmarket reading well, ALA KAIFI earns the vote in first-time blinkers.

This looks like as good an opportunity as any for the consistent BREEGE to get her head back in front. Runner-up on her last two starts in strong company, John Quinn's charge should be at home under these conditions and she get the vote ahead of Stenton Glider (second) and Bridestones (third), who didn't have much between them in the Coral Distaff at Sandown last month. The returning Lose Yourself must also enter calculations, as well as Heredia and Purplepay.

BREEGE has run tremendous races to finish second in the Sandringham Handicap and Oak Tree Stakes the last twice and has good claims on these terms if this doesn't come too quickly after Goodwood. The unexposed Lose Yourself and Stenton Glider make it a strong hand for the 3-y-os, while Heredia looks the pick of the older horses.

If BREEGE doesn't find this coming too soon after last week's fine second in the Oak Tree at Goodwood she looks the one to beat.

PEARL EYE has developed quite the love affair with this track and he looks to hold every chance of maintaining his unbeaten record here, despite a career-high mark of 77. The son of Expert Eye is versatile with regard to the ground, while unexposed Chelmsford winner Get Stuck In looks to be his main danger. Harlem Nights has the form to get involved in proceedings, as well as the consistent Senesi.

HARLEM NIGHTS wasted no time getting back to form when second at Newmarket and remains of plenty of interest at a trip he's unexposed at. The lightly-raced Get Stuck In is another potential improver back from a break, while Pol Roger and Pearl Eye are closely matched on their form here 3 weeks ago.

The step back up to 1m is a plus for SENESI and this progressive filly gets the nod ahead of Pearl Eye, who made it 2-2 here latest

Magnanimous Mehmus boasts some respectable Irish form and is noted on debut for Darryll Holland, while Kempton novice winner Glory Sky is going the right way and will be a big player if she copes with the return to racing on turf. Nevertheless, ZAPPHIRE, whose dam is out of a half-sister to top-class miler Soviet Song, looks a more intriguing option, given she has proven stamina and debuts in a handicap off a highly workable mark. Destined completes the shortlist.

POWERFUL RESPONSE shaped like a horse still ahead of his mark when runner-up at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, idling and reeled in late on. He earns the vote to come out on top with any forecast rain likely to aid his cause back at 7f. Low-mileage Glory Sky and Highfield Viking are others to consider, with Destined also in the mix.

Having stayed on well for a close second over 6f at Thirsk two weeks ago, DESTINED (nap) is open to further improvement now tackling 7f.

Exceedingly Regal, who wintered in Dubai, posted a respectable effort on his return to the UK scene at Yarmouth last month and may improve now he is tried in cheekpieces. However, the unexposed FINBAR'S LAD showed a liking for this course when he scored over 1m on his penultimate start and, off just 4lb higher, appears to have more offer back down in trip on just his fourth start in a handicap. Lockdown Lass and Ugo Gregory are others with sound claims at this level.

EXCEEDINGLY REGAL returned to Britain after an absence with a good second at Yarmouth last month and, with cheekpieces on for the first time, he's capable of going one better at the likely expense of the thriving Lockdown Lass. Ugo Gregory is a big threat to both if allowed a soft lead.

Having returned from a break with a good second at Yarmouth last month, EXCEEDINGLY REGAL is taken to go one better.

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.
