DOUBLETALK got off the mark in good fashion at Beverley last week and she could be tough to catch around here with conditions ideal under her penalty. Beaten just three-quarters of a length in second that day, Whatwouldiknow has strong claims to get closer to the selection with a decent pull at the weights and is the obvious danger. There should be more to come from Salsa Dancer and Brooklyn Express, both of whom are worth monitoring in the market.

Doubletalk and WHATWOULDIKNOW pulled clear of the remainder at Beverley last Thursday and Nigel Tinkler's gelding is fancied to turn the tables with that rival (winner carries a penalty and the selection has a handy 7-lb claimer on board for the first time). Forever A Diamond and Diddy Man met over C&D 10 days ago and they can fight out minor honours.

An open race in which the vote goes to FOREVER A DIAMOND, who chased home a major improver in a C&D nursery ten days ago.

Al Shabab took a step forward when third at Brighton last time and may well improve again, while Mr Monaco got outpaced on debut but shaped with plenty of promise and this extra furlong should be of major benefit today. Slight preference is for HIGH POINT, who is likely to need a bit further in time, but his debut effort when a close third at Epsom suggests he should be able to win at this trip and he can get off the mark at the second attempt.

HIGH POINT produced a promising first effort when finishing a close-up third in an Epsom novice 3 weeks ago and with progress anticipated, he shades the vote to build on that and make it second time lucky. Mr Monaco and Al Shabab can provide the chief threats.

Preference is for HIGH POINT, who went close at Epsom on his recent debut and sets a clear standard on that clear third.

Game Breaker is sure to be popular after her opening win at Thirsk last time but that came on soft ground which seemed to suit her well. Back on a sound surface and up 8lb in the ratings, she has questions to answer. Slight preference is for TIERNEY, who won really well two starts back but didn't seem to appreciate the softer surface at Newmarket last time. With firmer conditions on offer this evening, she can resume her progression to get back in the winner's enclosure. Handicap newcomers Heritage House and Invincible Tiger have the potential to do better and both require market checks.

GAME BREAKER showed improved form to make her first start in nurseries a winning one at Thirsk 26 days ago. A well-bred filly from an excellent yard, she ought to have more to offer still and gets the nod to follow up. The return to quicker ground rates a plus for Tierney who could bounce back, whilst nursery debutante Invincible Tiger is another worth a second look.

Top of the list is GAME BREAKER (nap), who justified favouritism on her nursery debut at Thirsk last month and is open to more progress

ALICE KNYVET posted her best effort to date when a staying-on second at Bath last month and a similar level of performance off only 1lb higher in the ratings could be good enough here. Matty Too was recently thwarted in his hat-trick bid when denied by a neck in third at Brighton and may unlock some potential now upped in trip to a mile. Golden Sands races off a career-high mark but is dangerous to discount if gaining an uncontested lead.

MATTY TOO has improved again for the application of a visor, landing back-to-back handicaps at Yarmouth/Chepstow prior to a good third at Brighton 2 weeks ago, noted finishing well. He gets the narrow vote to come out on top operating from the same mark, with Alice Knyvet and Golden Sands heading up the dangers. Whitefeathersfall is also worth keeping an eye on.

With slight question marks over plenty of his rivals, a chance is taken on TUSCAN. Second choice is Alice Knyvet.

Selenachorus is sure to prove popular after completing a quick-fire double over C&D at the start of August, with a 5lb rise looking workable. However, fellow last-time-out winner MILDYJAMA found improvement on the rise to 1m3f at Kempton last Monday and could unlock enough potential over the extra furlong to defy a 6lb penalty. My Chiquita returns to the scene of her last success and rounds off the shortlist.

SELENACHORUS will take plenty of beating in her bid to complete a C&D hat-trick, a 5 lb rise for her most recent victory almost certainly underestimating her superiority. Mildyjama is also proving progressive and appeals as by far the most pertinent threat under a penalty.

1m2f/1m3f winner Mildyjama is slightly preferred to dual C&D winner Selenachorus. Both might be upstaged by MOVIE STAR LOOKS.

Wide-margin winner STAR START escapes a penalty having won an apprentice handicap at Doncaster on Saturday and is hard to oppose on the quick turnaround. Metric offered more to work with when staying on into third on her handicap debut at Lingfield earlier in the month and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Corporate Raider. The three-year-old often runs to his best ability in small-field affairs and is only 3lb higher than his last triumph in June.

STAR START gained a second win of the season with a comfortable success at Doncaster 4 days ago and he can follow up racing off the same mark. The biggest threat could be Metric, who remains capable of better as she goes further in trip, while Corporate Raider can give another good account.

Metric could go well but STAR START escapes a penalty for Saturday's easy win in an apprentice handicap at Doncaster.

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.

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.
