Spartan Times arrives in great form with four wins and a second from his last five starts, including a recent success at Ripon, but he has a 5lb penalty and takes a step up in class. PRALOGNAN travels over from Ireland after victories at Downpatrick over hurdles and on the Newcastle Tapeta before being denied a clear run at Galway. With Derek O'Connor riding, he could get back to winning ways. Ribble River is another to consider under the in-form Henry Callan.

Pralognan is a fascinating Irish contender but Made All and SPARTAN TIMES look strong rivals.

COMMANDING OFFICER has plenty of stamina in his pedigree as a son of Teofilo out of a Maxios mare and although yet to live up to expectations with a third here and a fourth at York, the step up from 7f ought to bring some improvement for the stable that has won the last four runnings of this contest. Celestarak looked the sort to move on from his debut effort and is another to consider, alongside newcomer Faeberon, who cost 475,000gns as a yearling.

Commanding Officer is preferred to Celestarak among those who have run. Newcomers FAEBERON and Galilean Quality need a check

Capall Rasa appeared as if he would improve for the experience when a distant third of four at Yarmouth, but he still looks vulnerable to a newcomer in this line-up. William Haggas loves a winner here and he introduces GASPACHO, a daughter of Ghaiyyath from a good family, and she may prove forward enough to win at the first attempt under Cieren Fallon. Aerial Silk is also of interest under Danny Tudhope, who rode the winner of this race last season.

Gaspacho, Muthhil & TIGER POWER have little to choose between them on sales price and the latter gets no more than a token vote.

DEMETRIUS is progressing nicely and, typically of a Sir Mark Prescott-trained horse, he could be ahead of his mark now he steps up in trip. After 6f wins at Catterick and Chelmsford, the son of Dream Ahead has improved with each run in a handicap and, 2lb well-in under a penalty for the latest success, this could be another well-executed plot by his astute trainer. Fellow penalised/last-time winners Blue To Blue and Lyra Lea are also potentially well treated and make this competitive.

A spicy event with three penalty carriers going at it, but JUNGLE KNIGHT enters nurseries off a workable mark and can come out on top.

ALAMINOS impressed when making a successful racecourse debut at Thirsk and could cope with carrying a penalty at this stage of his development. The prospect of slower ground shouldn't be too much of an issue for the son of Pinatubo and he is difficult to oppose. Napolian was hampered when third in that race and can do better with a clear run. Division, who cost 800,000gns as a yearling, should be wiser after his rallying second on his Windsor introduction.

As his stable's only entry in the Middle Park, there's good reason to believe that DIVISION will find plenty on his Windsor form.

A few with chances, perhaps none more so than ALBANY, who was able to build on her seasonal return when defeated by a head at York. Ralph Beckett's charge shouldn't be inconvenienced by a drop in trip and although 3lb higher, is likely to have more in the locker. Hot Flame, second on her Newmarket comeback when attempting to supplement her Yarmouth debut success, is another potential improver who must enter calculations. Others to note include Consecrated and the class-dropping Music Piece.

Hot Flame boasts the Group 1 entry but the most potential might belong to CONSECRATED who can bounce back from her run 12 weeks ago.

King Of The Sea arrives following triumphs over this C&D and at Salisbury. Ed Walker's charge isn't in any deeper now and a 4lb rise for the latest of his victories looks fair, but preference is still for OBITO. Stepping up to 10 furlongs proved fruitful when he won in comfortable fashion at Ayr and, despite a 5lb hike, he can find further progress at this trip. Gallic Legend heads the remainder.

The 3yos probably have the edge, with last-time winners OBITO (nap) and King Of The Sea looking clearly the strongest candidates.

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.
