Having been far from disgraced in the Albany, GUSHING GOLD then went desperately close when beaten a neck into third at Newbury. A step up from 6f ought to be no problem on that evidence and she is taken to strike at the fourth time of asking. Poutchek shaped with promise when making the frame on her Newmarket debut and is a likely candidate with improvement on the cards. Others to note include Sattwaa and Allonsy.

POUTCHEK clearly has more than her share of ability having managed to finish third despite fluffing the start and being green pretty much throughout on debut at Newmarket a month ago. Above-average improvement is surely forthcoming, so she's preferred to the standard-setting Gushing Gold. Ahlain is another to consider, along with several interesting debutantes.

Gushing Gold sets the standard but both Poutchek and AHLAIN offered enough on their debuts to make them of interest.

Both Ivory Madonna and Ludmilla have some decent form in the book and, though both merit respect, they might prove vulnerable to a less-exposed rival. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on ELECTRIC STORM. The Night Of Thunder filly is berthed well in stall three, and has enough in her pedigree to suggest she can be a force on this racecourse bow. Similar comments apply to 325,000gns purchase Velvet Crush, though a wide draw is far from ideal. Newmarket winner Le Mans is also considered, but this looks tougher under a penalty.

LUDMILLA rates the form pick here and looked to fail for stamina upped to 1m2f when sixth at Windsor last time out so gets the nod now reverted in distance. Le Mans rates the obvious threat despite saddling a 7 lb penalty for her debut Newmarket success. Al Haan has more to offer and is another to consider in an open novice along with newcomers Electric Storm and Velvet Crush.

Full Regalia is bred to appreciate the switch to AW but she finished behind LE MANS at Newmarket and may do so again here.

In an open contest, only a tentative vote can go to TAHITIAN PRINCE. The gelded son of Siyouni was well beaten at Yarmouth last month, but was much more competitive on an artificial surface previously. Well drawn in stall three, and from 7lb below his last winning mark, it would be no surprise were he to bounce back. Hover On The Wind remains open to improvement and is an interesting candidate back over further. Ernie's Valentine and Zu Run are just two others to consider.

ERNIE'S VALENTINE is well handicapped back on AW and might prove the answer from a handy draw. It's hasn't clicked lately for Charles Hills pair Harry Magnus and Lord Uhtred but they remain relatively unexposed and have winning form on AW so it's possible they'll revive. Zero Carbon's good AW record also makes him a dangerous one to discount.

It is possible to excuse HARRY MAGNUS (nap) his last two defeats and he still appeals as being ahead of the handicapper.

Time's Eye broke through at Windsor and has to be considered off 3lb higher, but her ability to handle the all-weather must be taken on trust. With that in mind, C&D winner KING CABO just shades the vote because he was over two lengths clear of the third when touched off at Newmarket recently. He is also asked to compete off 3lb higher, but he could be up to it. Arctician and Umberto are others to consider in an open contest.

The vote goes to GOLDSMITH, who has been knocking on the door of late and his latest Epsom second off this mark can be upgraded a touch as he wasn't ideally placed. Gelded since his latest start and now equipped with more severe headgear, Umberto rates the main danger but there are several others with claims in this competitive handicap, including King Cabo and recent Windsor winner Time's Eye. Billy Mill would also be a threat if bouncing back.

There is still more to come from UMBERTO and he returns from a break with his stable in fine form. He's preferred to Billy Mill.

Pistoletto capitalised on a falling handicap figure over C&D last month and a rise of just 3lb is likely to keep him bang in contention. However, the vote goes to SEA ME DANCE, who showed her liking for this track when scoring over 1m4f to shed her maiden tag. She followed that up with an underwhelming effort at Newmarket, but the return to the all-weather could help her to bounce back. Luke Morris takes over in the saddle on Hurtle, who likely has more to offer.

OPEN CHAMPION has been bitterly disappointing this year but dropped back in grade and with first-time headgear applied, Alan King's 4-y-o is worth one more chance. Pistoletto capitalised on a falling mark when scoring over C&D 5 weeks ago, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about nudged up 3 lb, ahead of Red Royalist and Sea Me Dance.

Intergalacticat and SEA ME DANCE may be the pair to focus on and the return to AW counts in the selection's favour.

Geelong made the frame over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and his time has looked near for a while now, so he warrants plenty of respect off the same rating. However, preference is still for CLUB MANAGER, who may have not handled the track at Lingfield but he did well to finish third and could improve on that. More has been expected of Alex The Great because he has been sent off at short prices the last twice and he could put in a better display.

There should be more to come from CLUB MANAGER, who posted improved form when third on handicap debut at Lingfield earlier this month and remains low mileage. He gets the nod. Geelong and Roman Tempest are feared most.

Unexposed pair Alex The Great and CLUB MANAGER appeal most and the latter can build on his recent Lingfield third.

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.
