C&D winner Hellavapace returned from a layoff with a good second over C&D off 1lb lower recently and she has a good chance to go one better. However, a strike-rate of 2-46 tempers enthusiasm and preference is for fellow track-and-trip scorer EIGHT MILE. George Scott's four-year-old won off a 5lb higher mark at Yarmouth last summer and has slipped back to a very workable figure. Luna Magic also has winning form here and she has tumbled down the ratings this year.

It might be worth taking a chance on RABINAL, who has gained both British wins at this venue and having not been seen to best effect last time, has been dropped a further 2 lb. Hellavapace is probably the solid one here, while veteran Luna Magic is a regular in these amateur contests.

A few of these need to rebound from modest runs but not HELLAVAPACE who is pretty reliable despite her modest strike-rate.

This looks a good opportunity for WHEELS OF FIRE to get off the mark. The Richard Hannon-trained colt has shown ability in three starts to date, most notably when finishing third over 6f at Goodwood and Newmarket, and he sets the standard as he drops to the minimum trip for his Polytrack debut. Nad Alshiba Snow began with two good efforts over 5f at Beverley, before failing to land a blow in better 6f events, and she looks the biggest threat now dropped back in class and distance. Toolatetonegotiate can prove best of the rest.

The big 2 on form, WHEELS OF FIRE and Nad Alshiba Snow both drop back from 6f, with the former just preferred given his profile is the more appealing of the pair. Toolatetonegotiate looks all speed and will attempt to make use of her inside draw.

Unless Nad Alshiba Snow can tap back into her initial promise, this should be plain sailing for WHEELS OF FIRE.

Alpine Girl initiated a 6f double with a victory on the turf here in June and also has a C&D victory to her name, but the handicapper may have her measure now and ASINARA appears better treated. Having held an entry in the 1000 Guineas, the Ffos Las maiden winner may not have progressed as expected but she went close off this mark over 6f at Newmarket last time and looks weighted to land an event of this nature. American Fashion only weakened late on when blazing a trail over 6f at Kempton on her handicap debut, so she looks a contender now dropped in trip and 1lb in the handicap.

The free-going ASINARA wasn't beaten far at Newmarket last time and remains of interest with the drop to 5f likely to suit. American Fashion is another who is likely to be suited by the drop to the minimum trip, while Alpine Girl shaped as if still in good form at Chepstow.

This looks sure to be strongly run and it could set up ideally for ALPINE GIRL (nap) who was found out by slow ground last time.

FEARLESS BAY bounced back to form with a comfortable triumph at Kempton and a 3lb rise for that could prove lenient as he looks to gain a sixth success on the all-weather. A progressive sort throughout this season since joining Jack Jones, Beautiful Crown is of interest on the step up in trip, while Saint Riquier has plenty to build on after a strong placed effort over 1m2f at Sandown earlier in the month.

BEAUTIFUL CROWN has thrived for his new yard this summer and can add another win to his tally. Sonnerie Power wasn't beaten far off his reduced mark at Kempton so is respected, while Lingfield is the only AW track Fearless Bay (making debut here) has yet to win on having scored at Kempton last time.

Fearless Bay looks set to go well but SAINT RIQUIER can emerge on top if a promising reappearance has not taken anything out of him.

An eyecatcher when running on from off pace to force a dead-heat for third behind the reopposing Capallcliste (second) over C&D, POLES APART must hold every chance of overturning that form on 3lb better terms. The son of Awtaad can get off the mark at the eighth time of asking, with Neptune Legend and Comedian Leader others to consider, for place purposes at least.

CAPALLCLISTE has been knocking pretty loudly on the door in C&D handicaps for this rider and the drop to classified company may enable him to shed his maiden status. Poles Apart and Guildford are a couple of potential threats given they are unexposed 3-y-os.

With positives thin on the ground, the fact that POLES APART reacted positively to headgear in a handicap here last time bodes well.

Doves Of Peace won at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, with FAI FAI back in third. However, the latter caught the eye on his subsequent C&D outing when fourth in handicap company last week and a repeat of that display might see the five-year-old come out on top. Edergole's Gift did well to finish second at Brighton after being badly hampered at the start and Conrad Allen's filly completes the shortlist.

Modest stuff but at least FAI FAI has strung together a few decent performances and he could be the way to go. Doves of Peace and Edergole's Gift are others to consider.

Although below par last time, DOVES OF PEACE is at least a recent winner and that breakthrough success had been coming.

My Awele gained a first career victory at Southwell on Monday and she has to enter calculations turned out under a 6lb penalty. However, the consistent KURIMU may have too much for the opposition being only 2lb higher than when beaten a head at Yarmouth on her latest start. Katie G appeals most of the remainder having returned to winning ways at Southwell last time.

MY AWELE was nicely on top at Southwell on Monday so a 6 lb penalty may not prevent her following up. Kurimu has held her form well this summer and is second choice ahead of Katie G.

My Awele may progress again but the in-form KURIMU could be the better bet with Joe Leavy taking 5lb off her back.

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.
