It might have been a while since TRAIS FLUORS' last success, but that's reflected in his sliding handicap mark. Better was clearly expected at Brighton 17 days ago, having been sent off as favourite, but first-time cheekpieces may sharpen him up and a further 2lb drop in the ratings ought to further aid his chances. The unexposed Flag Of Truth merits consideration, while Rival continues to run well in defeat and he might not be far away either.

A tricky start to proceedings with the tentative vote going to LENNY'S SPIRIT, who wasn't seen to best effect at Chelmsford just over a fortnight ago and Ed Dunlop's charge is fancied to regain the winning thread with this larger-field scenario likely to be in his favour. Second choice is Sandy Paradise, who has hit the crossbar on his last couple of starts and may have to settle for silver once again, with Mabre and Flag of Truth rounding off the shortlist.

This can go to RIVAL (nap) who has run well in both starts since returning last month, including in a much stronger contest last time.

TUXEDO JUNCTION (third) finished behind both Mustazeed (winner) and Time Interval (second) on his reappearance last month. He's now 6lb better off with both of those rivals, however, and it would be no surprise were he to reverse that form en route to victory. Wisper continues to progress and must be considered, along with Wind Your Neck In, who remains open to further improvement. Others to note include First Officer, Premiere Ligne and The Whipmaster.

TUXEDO JUNCTION got back on the up when third over C&D on his return (had been gelded) and he can take another step forward to reverse the form with Mustazeed from that race. Wind Your Neck In could be the main danger to the pair as he goes back up in trip following a promising reappearance, while Time Interval is another who merits consideration.

The vote goes to MUSTAZEED who appeared to win with more in hand than the margin would suggest on stable debut over C&D last month.

Hugo Palmer has enjoyed a decent start with his juveniles this season, and it may be worth taking a chance on PHONE TAG. The 80,000gns purchase, a son of Havana Grey, should not lack for speed on debut and appeals as a likely contender. Baheer is bred to be sharp and should not be underestimated, while Battle Charge and Quickfire are others to consider.

Usually an informative maiden and newcomer BATTLE CHARGE gets the vote before market clues. Baheer and Time Signature are also appealing on debut, while Rust E Boy can improve on his first effort here 4 weeks ago, form which has been franked.

The vote goes to BATTLE CHARGE whose stable does well with 2yos first time out and had a winning newcomer at Nottingham a week ago.

RESOLUTE MAN shed his maiden tag at the first time of asking at Yarmouth in October last year and that form is working out well. The son of Dubawi is likely to have more to come on his return to action and can defy the 7lb penalty. The main threat looks to be Oliver Show, who was green on debut but was sent off favourite that day, which suggests he has shown a lot at home. Any market support for Chelsea Square should be noted.

RESOLUTE MAN looked a useful prospect when winning at Yarmouth in the autumn, and with that form having worked out he's taken to defy a penalty on his return before his sights are raised. Good Karma was impressive himself when scoring at Wolverhampton when last seen and looks sure to win more races. English Oak is a well-bred newcomer to note.

As Roger Varian said in his Stable Tour interview, Yarmouth winner RESOLUTE MAN "could be anything".

EQUATORIAL was just touched off by a short head on debut at Doncaster and he would have learned a lot from that outing. The son of Showcasing finished just over two lengths clear of a subsequent winner in third that day and he can take a step forward to strike. Fleet Admiral was an expensive purchase and he most certainly warrants a market check making his first start, along with fellow newcomer Eyeshadow.

EQUATORIAL made a promising debut at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, albeit under more testing conditions, and looks a player with improvement very much on the cards. Troon looked a useful prospect at Kempton on debut last October and he's in with a shout even under a penalty. Fleet Admiral and Crack Shot are both interesting newcomers.

Equatorial would have won at Doncaster had he been that bit wiser but KOKOMO ran no less a promising race on her debut.

Seendid is related to a few winners including Group 1 winner Nezwaah, who struck on her debut. However, he may struggle to beat TONY MONTANA, who was a length and a half in front of Racingbreaks Ryder on debut, who is now rated 97, which sets a very high standard for this contest. Bloodhound is another newcomer to note for the Charles Hills stable.

A maiden with some very good recent winners. The Gosden stable took this with St Leger hero Logician in 2019 and is taken to repeat the feat with TONY MONTANA, who shaped very well on his only 2-y-o start. Naqeeb didn't make quite the impact the betting suggested he might do on debut but could prove a different proposition now. Nothing To Sea still looked green at Windsor so he also makes the shortlist. Seendid is one of a few interesting newcomers.

Second for TONY MONTANA at Salisbury last September is clearly the best of what little racecourse evidence there is.

This can go the way of CHERRYHAWK, who must hold every chance if building on a strong runner-up effort on her handicap debut at Goodwood last time out. The form of her stable is another plus and she is taken to see off the likes of Kempton winner Roar Emotion and Phenomenon, who could easily improve for the step up in trip. Others to note include Dance Havana, Lucky Fifteen and Major Major.

This is wide open but Hughie Morrison's handicap debutant ROMAN ART looks to start life in handicaps on a lenient mark and can go close if, as expected, building on his Southwell fifth after a break. Cherryhawk represents the in-form yard of Dominic Ffrench Davis and must enter calculations nudged up only a 1 lb for his excellent recent Goodwood second. Kempton scorer Roar Emotion is firmly in the picture too, while handicap debutants Salamancan and Lucky Fifteen appeal as likely improvers.

A chance is taken with handicap-newcomer SALAMANCAN, who hasn't shown much in three starts but is bred to be much better.

Now that the penny has dropped for WARHOL after a taking win at Windsor last month, the consistent four-year-old should continue to progress off a mere 2lb higher mark. Bunker Bay continues to knock on the door and is fancied to be thereabouts again, along with Talap, who won on the same card as the selection at Windsor. Masqool and Spyfall are others open to improvement.

BUNKER BAY looks ready to strike having pulled clear of the rest when a close second at Yarmouth on his return earlier this month. This does look competitive, though, with last-time-out winners Masqool and Talap heading the dangers.

This looks a fiendish puzzle but the vote goes to ROSE LIGHT ahead of Talap, Sainte Colette and Masqool.

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.

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.
