Catherine Parr just failed in her attempt to make every yard of the running over this trip at Lingfield in October, but that was a better effort and she could progress further to have a say in a first-time hood. However, the vote goes to PIANOFORTE, who sets the standard with a rating of 83 in this contest after he showed ability in his four novice starts last season. The son of Land Force looks to have found a good opportunity to get off the mark, while any market confidence behind 500,000-euro purchase Not Real would also be interesting.

There was a lot to like about GENERAL ASSEMBLY's recent first run for George Boughey and he can build on that and get off the mark. Pianoforte is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding expensive breeze-up purchase Not Real.

General Assembly and Catherine Parr can go well but PIANOFORTE may be able to make a winning reappearance.

BLENHEIM STAR still showed plenty of inexperience when not being disgraced in fourth at Chelmsford in November, as she was very keen and also suffered interference leaving the gates. The daughter of Churchill makes her return to action with Cieren Fallon booked and, off a 2lb lower mark, she gets the vote. Moe's Legacy has hit the frame in this grade over 6f the last twice and she should remain competitive now upped in trip off an unchanged rating, while Unforgettable Fire warrants a market check on her handicap bow.

MOE'S LEGACY arrives at the top of her game and looks ready to strike again. Profitman was a good third when bidding for the hat-trick at Wolverhampton on Saturday and remains of interest, while Sergeants Legacy has potential heading into handicaps.

The progressive PROFITMAN is taken to resume winning ways on the back of his excellent recent Wolverhampton third.

SIR LES PATTERSON took a pleasing step forward from his debut effort to beat Alhather (second) by just over a length over this trip at Southwell in December and he meets his reopposing rival on 7lb worse terms. Harry Eustace's three-year-old could have plenty more to offer and he can confirm his superiority to record a double. As for the latter, he failed to justify short odds over 6f here next time but isn't one to write off, while any market confidence behind Smart Hero should also be noted.

GOLDEN MYRRH has fared a lot better with the draw than on her C&D return 3 weeks ago and might be worth chancing to improve markedly on that as there was confidence behind her in the betting on that occasion. Previous winner Sir Les Patterson likely has more to come, while Alhather needs to start delivering more at the finish but has the form to be on the premises. Smart Hero has a tricky draw on debut but would still enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's fancied.

Ralph Beckett's GOLDEN MYRRH did well to come in sixth from a wide draw over C&D and is much more favourably drawn now so gets the nod

SIGHTER was sent off a warm order when scoring cosily on her handicap debut over 7f at Chelmsford in February and, nudged up just 3lb for that, the suspicion is that there is more winning to be done before the handicapper has her measure. White Mist looks ready for this step back up to 7f after staying on well to take second over 6f here earlier this month and she rates as the main danger, while Valtellina is only 3lb higher than when scoring at massive odds over C&D in October, though she needs to prove that effort was no flash in the pan.

SIGHTER was well on top at the finish when opening her account at Chelmsford last time and, with more to come, she's fancied to go in again. Valtellina is a danger if tuned up for her return and Sunblock could get back on track with cheekpieces fitted.

She may need further before long but SIGHTER (nap) is taken to make further gains at 7f for now, with Sunblock the next preferred.

Not an easy puzzle to solve, but the tentative nod goes to BIG R. Eve Johnson Houghton's charge scored with plenty in hand in a similar contest over C&D last month and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent the son of Cotai Glory bringing up the double. One More Wave is the likely pace angle into the race and he can give the selection most to think about from his handy draw, while Royal Jet was last seen winning impressively over 7f at Leicester in October and he is respected on his handicap debut.

LADY DREAMER wasted no time getting back to form when scoring at Wolverhampton in November and she remains fairly treated up 3 lb if ready to go. Big R is another who arrives on the back of a career-best win, with Grenham Bay also going through a good spell.

Big R is greatly respected but GRENHAM BAY has conditions to suit and can land a third C&D win.

CAPRELO displayed signs of promise in three outings over shorter as a juvenile and is bred to relish a step up in distance, being a half-brother to three-time Group 2 winner Marmelo and Vent De Force. An opening mark of 69 could potentially be lenient and this appears to be a suitable opportunity to gain a first victory. Rosy Kiss has gone close on her two most recent outings and has to be respected, while others to note are Tactical Control and Free Speech.

CAPRELO is bred to be well suited by this longer trip and, in theory, should be better than a mark of 69 based on pedigree, so he's worth taking a chance on making his seasonal/handicap debut. Sir Galahad is another one who should make a better 3-y-o and Free Speech looks the most solid of the remainder.

Sir Galahad and CAPRELO appeal as big improvers now tackling middle-distance handicaps. The latter is narrowly preferred.

BITCOIN PROFIT benefited from stepping up in trip when getting off the mark over the extended mile at Wolverhampton earlier this month and Max Young's gelding is expected to have more to offer following that success. Eccentric shed the maiden tag at Southwell last time and is likely to enter the reckoning with first-time cheekpieces applied. Midnight Drive and Simple Endeavour appeal most of the remainder.

Upped in trip, BITCOIN PROFIT showed improved form on his second start for his current yard when winning at Wolverhampton 15 days ago and he can score again now that he's up and running. He is taken to get the better of Eccentric, who also recorded a first victory on his latest outing, with Simple Endeavour completing the shortlist.

Midnight Drive is high on the list but BAROQUE BUOY could leave his previous efforts well behind now upped to 1m and handicapping.

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.
