Amathus has won his last two starts, both over this C&D, but he has been put up another 4lb by the handicapper for the latest of those victories and that, plus a rise in class, makes the hat-trick that bit more difficult. Bold Ribb is interesting on his first start for new connections after winning a Dundalk maiden and he could go well, but ZABBIE is preferred. He won very easily here on soft ground recently and may be up to shrugging off a 5lb rise if he takes to the quicker surface.

ZABBIE is versatile as regards ground and produced a career-best effort to land a C&D handicap 7 days ago. She shades the vote to defy her revised mark, with Flying Spirit and the hat-trick seeking Amathus others to consider. Bold Ribb, on debut for John Ryan, is another worthy of note.

A chance is taken on the lightly raced DAKOTA POWER, who'll find this easier up from 6f. Recent C&D winner Zabbie is second choice.

Hot Fashion didn't do a lot wrong on her debut when a three-length second at Newbury, where she hit the front two out before being passed, but GIUDECCA may have the edge today. She was noticeably easy to back before her second at Newmarket when running green throughout, but she will have learned plenty from that experience and looked a useful sort in the making. Get The Music On and Lady Chatterley are interesting newcomers, while Miss Gitana could be better over further in time.

HOT FASHION and Giudecca both made encouraging debuts when second at Newbury and Newmarket respectively and look the pair to focus on. The former looked the more straightforward of the 2 so has marginal preference. Samoon Star catches the eye on pedigree so may emerge best of the newcomers.

Giudecca and HOT FASHION both shaped well on debut and the latter can provide in-form Ralph Beckett with another winner.

Eight Mile is 3lb lower than when failing to land his hat-trick under a 12lb penalty at Chepstow last month and with the George Scott's horses going well, he could get into the shake-up despite a rise in grade. PREMIERE BEAUTY has seen her handicap mark lowered after being put in her place at Newmarket, but that was a class 3 and connections lower their sights here. Her one win was at Yarmouth on similar going and she could surprise again with a clear run, while Spring Day is an interesting alternative now returned to this trip on her first start for John Butler.

PREMIERE BEAUTY has been disappointing the last twice, but she takes a marked drop in grade here and is fancied to capitalise. Eight Mile could get back on the up having been given more of a break, while Nuthatch appeals as the sort to benefit from first-time headgear.

Jamie Osborne's filly NUTHATCH is a quirky type but she's won two of her seven starts and went close off this mark at Goodwood in June.

Runner-up on his last two starts, WONDERWALL is fancied to break his maiden now stepping up in distance. He went second towards the finish over 1m2f on his most recent run and, with the potential for more to come over this longer trip, can get the better of the unexposed Humanity, who finished a decent third on the all-weather on his racecourse bow last November. King Of The Pride also warrants a market check on his racecourse bow.

WONDERWALL and Humanity are the pair that stand out. The latter shaped well behind one who's gone on to reach a smart level this year on his Newcastle debut 9 months ago, but the step up in trip isn't certain to suit given how he shaped that day, whereas the former will very much benefit from this stiffer test and is narrowly preferred on that basis. Sailing On caught the eye from an unpromising position at Windsor recently and shouldn't be completely overlooked.

This can lie between HUMANITY, who ran so well on his AW debut in the winter, and Wonderwall, primed for improvement now up in trip

GREASED LIGHTNING recorded a staying-on success over an extended 1m3f at Windsor last month and Eve Johnson Houghton's charge is fancied to secure a double over further today, despite a 4lb rise and a step up in class. Recent all-weather winner Bodygroove can give him plenty to think about, despite also having to shoulder a 4lb higher mark, while Denis Anthony looks the pick of the remainder.

DENIS ANTHONY is building up a solid record and is taken to notch a second handicap win of the summer. Robusto, an AW winner here, promises to be suited by the slightly longer trip and is second choice ahead of last month's Windsor scorer Greased Lightning.

Looking more than ready for this extra 1f, DENIS ANTHONY could bring a bit of potential and is narrowly preferred to Robusto.

A game winner over C&D last month, GOOSE ROCK looks the one to beat if anywhere near that form. He has gone up 4lb for that success, but Adam Tracey negates all of that rise with his 7lb claim and the gelded son of Mehmas remains of significant interest. Metric must merit consideration on her handicap debut with an opening mark of 53 looking workable as she steps up in trip and she is feared most, ahead of Native Melody.

The suggestion is BEACH KITTY, who caught the eye doing some good late work on her Newbury debut back in May and is sure to go close from an opening BHA mark of 53 if returning to that form. Metric is another handicap debutante to note, while recent C&D Goose Rock remains unexposed at the trip.

Barring support for one of the unexposed runners this looks the ideal opportunity for GOOSE ROCK (nap) to follow up his recent win.

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.
