Freak Out arrives having notched up a brace of Beverley successes, but, though respected, the step up in trip on this occasion will pose a different challenge. FAIRMAC might not have been the most consistent recently, but he was a winner over C&D from this mark in April and looks certain to benefit from a drop in class. Gibside continues to progress steadily and must enter calculations too.

Quite an interesting opener. FAIRMAC has returned to the mark from which he won a competitive Sky Bet Sunday Series handicap over C&D at the end of April and can bounce back to form. Gibside, Freak Out and Simple Star all arrive at the top of their game and are feared most in that order.

The recent York third GIBSIDE can make the most of a slight ease in grade to score again. Simple Star looks next best.

Both Majestic Beauty and Sankari appeal as likely candidates under their respective penalties, but a chance is taken on GOOD POINT. Bryan Smart's charge pushed Queen Mary-seventh Lady Pink Rose all the way at Beverley last month, when giving 5lb away, and any further improvement can see the son of Blue Point shed his maiden tag. Cover Point failed to live up to market expectations on his debut, but William Haggas' colt ought to take a step forward with that run under the belt.

MAJESTIC BEAUTY was strong in the betting and well on top at the line when making a successful debut at Catterick in May and should have even more to offer despite a 12-week absence. Good Point produced an effort much more in keeping with his pedigree when second at Beverley last time and can go well again, with two-time winner Sankari and Mutasawi others to consider.

The answer to this interesting novice might be SANKARI, who won quite stylishly at Hamilton last time.

In a wide-open contest, only a tentative vote can go to TAFSIR. Having won over an extended 1m4f here three starts ago, she went on to repeat the dose at Hamilton later that monthand was a shade unfortunate not to have landed the hat-trick when denied a clear run at Newcastle last week. Jim Goldie's unexposed stayer could have more in the locker back on turf, while Glasses Up appeals as her chief danger under a 4lb penalty. Others to note include Idilico, Myboymax and Marbuzet.

TAFSIR failed to land the hat-trick at Newcastle last time but lost little in defeat and Jim Goldie's thriving filly makes most appeal again. Marbuzet has proved a model of consistency without winning this season and should provide the selection with plenty to think about again, whilst Glasses Up is also respected under a penalty for Monday's Ayr win.

Jim Goldie's filly TAFSIR (nap) might have been unlucky not to complete a hat-trick eight days ago and is 2lb well in here.

Tim Easterby has trained two of the three winners of this race and he relies on last year's scorer Manigordo, who races off 9lb higher. He clearly goes well at the track, but at these weights preference is for YAASER, who was given a perfect ride to get up late over C&D last month and only has 3lb more from the handicapper. He may follow up with Paul Mulrennan keeping the ride, though Bicep has won all three starts here and is pretty difficult to overlook.

JUDGMENT CALL has a fairly solid record this year and is taken to turn around last month's C&D form with Yaaser, who is also likely to go well again. Bicep hasn't fired on his last 2 outings but can't be left out of the reckoning at a venue where he has a 3-3 record.

Preference is for CARNIVAL ZAIN, who enjoyed a very productive 2022, is back on a good mark now and drops in grade today.

PATONTHEBACK put in a career-best effort to win by four lengths at Newcastle earlier in the month and although he has a 5lb penalty for that success, he is due to go up 7lb for future contests. There is a concern that the five-year-old is yet to win on turf, but he has placed numerous times, suggesting no issues with the surface. Monhammer won this last year and commands respect following a recent C&D victory, leaving End Zone and Nefyn Dawn to follow them home.

PATONTHEBACK won back to back at the end of 2021 and might be able to repeat the feat as he looks well treated under a 5 lb penalty for last week's comfortable Newcastle success. Last year's winner Monhammer is feared most ahead of John Quinn's lightly-raced 4-y-o Nefyn Dawn.

After hinting at a possible return to form over 6f a fortnight ago, RICH WATERS is sure to be suited by today's extra furlong.

Chinese Spirit is the only C&D winner in this field having taken this race last year, but he hasn't won in 15 races since and may have to settle for yet another place. FIFTY SENT was supported before running on into second at Ayr last month. The extra furlong should see him in a better light, and he may be able to come out on top for the second time, while Makalu won off this mark in May and is clearly more than capable of getting involved.

FIFTY SENT shaped well when running on to take second late in the day over 1m at Ayr last Monday and can go one better back over a slightly longer trip. Irv pushed a next-time-out winner close off this mark at Nottingham last month and is second choice ahead of Tim Easterby's War Defender.

Top of the list is FIFTY SENT, who has been very consistent this year and was second to a next-time-out winner at Ayr just 11 days ago.

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.
