NOBLE STYLE emerged with plenty of credit from the 2000 Guineas when fading into sixth after travelling smoothly into the race, suggesting a step back down to this distance is a positive move. The son of Kingman won the Gimcrack over this trip last year and he could prove to be a cut above his rivals. The main threat might be Aesop's Fables, who landed the Futurity at the Curragh as a juvenile and offered enough encouragement when second on his return at Navan. Shaquille is a rapid improver to keep an eye on.

Usually a hot early-season 3-y-o sprint and a trial for the Commonwealth Cup, with one of the ante-post favourites NOBLE STYLE taken to book his Royal Ascot ticket with victory. He met with defeat in the 2000 Guineas on his return when not seeming to stay (though still not beaten far) and promises to do a lot better back over 6f. Shaquille's Commonwealth Cup entry doesn't look fanciful after his impressive comeback victory at Newmarket and he's feared. Rabaah should have more to offer also.

Noble Style is strongly respected back over 6f but he's taken on with tempting alternative SHAQUILLE.

Yibir is top-rated in this contest by upwards of 9lb and is likely to be a warm order. The 2021 Breeders' Cup Turf hero regained the winning thread in the Princess Of Wales's at Newmarket last July but has been off since, which is a concern. A chance is taken on ISRAR, who has improved in the handicap ranks so far. The son of Muhaarar, out of champion filly Taghrooda, is expected to progress again this year and can bridge the gap into Group company. Haskoy, second past the post in the Leger, is another to note on her return to the fray.

YIBIR has been a globe-trotting money-spinner for Godolphin and looks set for another profitable campaign. Unpenalised for his Group 2 Newmarket win when last seen in July, he can make a successful return. 4-y-o filly Haskoy was second past the post in the St Leger and could have more to offer in 2023. Israr and Gaassee are also ones to follow this year.

Yibir dominates on form but is not straightforward. HASKOY makes more appeal, having surged to prominence so quickly last term.

DESERT HERO is two out of three to date, with the latest of those victories a comfortable three-length verdict under a penalty in a Redcar novice event back in October. The son of Sea The Stars, who is still in the Derby, is likely to find improvement for this further step up in trip and he ought to go very close on his handicap bow. Royal Rhyme, who struck over this distance by five lengths at Newmarket's Guineas meeting, could get in contention off 10lb higher, while Bertinelli has to be of interest for the Aidan O'Brien stable.

Nearly always one of the strongest 3-y-o handicaps of the season. DESERT HERO is in the Derby and gets the vote to take his record to 3-4 on his reappearance. Irish-raider Bertinelli is another low-mileage colt with plenty of potential and heads the dangers along with easy Newmarket handicap winner Royal Rhyme. The other Sheikh Mohammed Obaid runner Exoplanet chased home Lingfield Derby Trial winner Military Order on his C&D return and can also figure if stall 16 isn't too troublesome.

Having shaped well over C&D on his reappearance, EXOPLANET may well have the class to prevail. Mr Mistoffelees is next on the list.

A highly competitive renewal of this prestigious contest and it can pay to side with MODERN GAMES, who ended his three-year-old campaign with a dominant success in the Breeders' Cup Mile. Charlie Appleby's colt was consistent at the highest level throughout last season and his comeback second at Keeneland should have put him spot-on. His chief threat may be My Prospero, who ran crackers for third in the St James's Palace Stakes and Champion Stakes at Ascot. Laurel has only been beaten once in her career, when pipped in the Sun Chariot, and could still be anything, while Jadoomi brings strong mile form to the table but is perhaps best suited by cut in the ground. Mutasaabeq (first) and Light Infantry (third) renew their rivalry from the bet365 mile and cannot be underestimated.

A competitive renewal on ratings but MODERN GAMES is the only runner to have won at the highest level (4 times) and he was rather unlucky not to add to his tally at Keeneland 5 weeks ago. He looks the most solid option and can provide Godolphin with a ninth success. Exciting-filly Laurel has the most potential in the field so rates the biggest threat ahead of Mutasaabeq, who has responded very well to blinkers.

The vote goes to highly promising filly LAUREL. Solid performers Modern Games and My Prospero are feared most.

INTELLOGENT shaped encouragingly on his return in the Earl Of Sefton and the form of that race has worked out well, with the winner following up in a Grade 2 in the States. The eight-year-old was unlucky not to land a major handicap last season, but remains on a mark off which he can score. Kingdom Come arrives on a four-timer and must enter calculations, along with Unforgotten and Wanees, who is far better than he showed in the Lincoln. C&D winner Atrium and Top Secret are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Clive Cox's low-mileage 4-y-o KINGDOM COME still looks well ahead of his mark and with this step up to 1m also a positive he rates a confident choice to land a four-timer. Intellogent is next on the list back in handicap company after his good Earl Of Sefton fourth, with C&D scorer Atrium and the still unexposed Wanees completing the shortlist in a useful handicap.

There was plenty to like about the way OUTBREAK (nap) scored on good ground at Newmarket two weeks ago. Top Secret is next best.

BLUESTOCKING created a deep impression when staying on strongly to win on her debut at Salisbury in September and she is fancied to book her Oaks ticket, for which she is as short as 10/1. Warm Heart improved plenty for the step up to this trip to break through at Leopardstown and the daughter of Galileo isn't taken lightly as she potentially puts her own Classic aspirations on the line. Polly Pott, who has a penalty for springing a surprise in the May Hill, wasn't up to the 1000 Guineas but better is expected now.

BLUESTOCKING made a striking winning debut at Salisbury in September and looks the type to go on to better things as a 3-y-o, especially now moving up in trip. Therefore, she earns a confident vote to maintain her unbeaten record. Warm Heart should continue to go the right way given her excellent pedigree, with Lmay another interesting contender following a promising debut at Haydock.

Warm Heart is probably set for a big run but BLUESTOCKING left a very positive impression with her 2yo win.

LEAP ABROAD lost little in defeat when finishing a fine fourth in an ultra-competitive affair at Newmarket a fortnight ago, more so given he carried 2lb overweight, and he makes most appeal now dropped in class slightly. Bernardo O'Reilly has hit some good form of late and is expected to be in the mix once more, while Twilight Madness has another go at 6f after a solid comeback fourth over Epsom's flying five. Letmelivemylife and Sergeant Tibbs are just two others who require consideration.

LEAP ABROAD again shaped well and highlighted he's one to be interested in when fourth in a similar big-field contest at Newmarket recently and, from a 2 lb lower mark, he could well be ready to open his account for the season. Unsurprisingly claims can be made for plenty, with Aplomb, the in-form Bernardo O'Reilly and Shobiz just a trio of others fancied to be thereabouts.

Class may come to the fore here with POPMASTER preferred to Leap Abroad back on better ground.

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.
