SPLIT THE PROFIT has responded kindly for Sorcha Woods when finishing runner-up on his last two starts and, with first-time blinkers added, the pair could form a winning partnership here. Victorious in a similar event at Ripon in May, Hurt You Never also rates a key player given the five-year-old's strong affinity with regular partner Mia Nicholls was evident with a third-placed finish over this C&D nine days ago. Lihou and Safari Dream are a couple of others with solid place claims.

HURT YOU NEVER has bounced back to her best on her last 2 starts, producing a good effort when third at this course 9 days ago, so she is taken to resume winning ways back down in trip. Split The Profit has been placed on 6 occasions this year and could be thereabouts once more, with Lihou also one to note from his current mark.

With new headgear fitted, regular silver medallist SPLIT THE PROFIT could well go one better. Bint Havana Gold is second choice.

Although well held by subsequent Queen Mary winner Leovanni on debut at Nottingham, there should be more to come from SHOSTAKOVA, who appeals strongly on pedigree and is presented with a decent chance of emulating her half-brother, Group 2-winning sprinter El Caballo, by winning second time out. Havana Dance is feared on the back of two promising starts, but there are some notable debutants to consider, with Handcuffed and Angelica Bay suggested as two appealing contenders who could be more precocious at this stage.

HANDCUFFED makes plenty of appeal on paper for a stable going well with its 2-y-os, so she earns the tentative vote before market clues. Brightwalton and Angelica Bay are other newcomers to note, while Shostakova seems likely to improve on her opening effort at Nottingham behind Queen Mary winner Leovanni.

Some of the debutantes have good credentials, most notably BRIGHTWALTON and Handcuffed.

Having won five of the eight previous renewals of this race, Richard Hannon is the trainer to follow and can expand on the winning haul with I MAXIMUS. The selection is a half-brother to a couple Listed race winners over 6f, appeals on pedigree and connections obviously mean business by securing Oisin Murphy for the ride. Meeghat is an appealing alternative for Hannon to go to war with, while Spell Master and War Howl represent powerful yards and they are respected first time up.

There were plenty of positives to take from KING OF BEARS C&D debut in May, for all that he failed to justify favouritism. The son of Kodi Bear will be more street-wise this time and he could be the answer. Chelsea Embankment left his low-key debut behind when third at Salisbury last month and looks a big threat, while I Maximus and Spell Master are two newcomers to note in the betting.

The shortlist comprises the three most expensive purchases in the field, namely SPELL MASTER, King Of Bears and I Maximus.

HAT TOSS shaped better than the bare result suggests when finishing sixth over a mile at Haydock last month, when looking unsuited by the way the race developed. Eased 1lb with cheekpieces enlisted, a bold showing looks imminent. Woodstock responded well to the application of the same headgear (retained) when third over 7f at Catterick latest and he should be thereabouts once more given the handicapper has left him on the same mark . Recent C&D runner-up Red Maids completes the shortlist in what looks a competitive affair.

If able to build on her recent second over this C&D, RED MAIDS could prove to be the answer to what looks a rather trappy handicap. Hat Toss failed to fire last time but he showed enough prior to that to suggest that his turn is near, while Woodstock also merits respect.

With cheekpieces fitted, another chance is given to HAT TOSS. Second choice is Purefoy.

Handicap debutant SEE THAT STORM showed enough when finishing a close-up third over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in February to suggest that he can be competitive in a race of this nature, and connections would be disappointed if a mark of 76 wound up being his ceiling. The quirky but capable Racing Demon may emerge as the main danger to the selection, as he's been upped just 1lb for a solid runner-up effort over a mile at Chepstow most recently, while Fast Steps should be able to make his presence felt in a race like this, especially if the early fractions are brisk.

SEE THAT STORM has performed to a decent standard in three starts on the all-weather and, with the promise of better to come now handicapping, this unexposed colt gets the nod. Next on the list is Outgun, who wasn't beaten far when returning from a break at Goodwood last month and is on a competitive mark. Fast Steps and Ravenswell are shortlisted, while Kingkeer needs a second look on his handicap bow.

Slight preference is for I LOVE PARIS, ahead of similar type Ravenswell in an open-looking contest.

NEW KINGS ROAD fared best of those who raced prominently when only being worn down late on over a mile at Pontefract last month and, eased 1lb since, it would be no surprise if Richard Hannon's consistent handicapper returned to winning ways here. Great Chieftain must enter calculations having been dropped 1lb for finishing third over a mile at Newmarket recently, while Double Red and Tribal Chief are also respected in what looks a wide-open contest.

A few of these offer potential, not least William Haggas' filly HEY BIG SPENDER who is fancied to build on her recent Leicester fourth and get off the mark. The handily-weighted Tribal Chief heads the list of dangers, although New Kings Road, Great Chieftain and The Ferret aslo need factoring into this competitive handicap.

Being ahead of the assessor and open to further progress, NEW KINGS ROAD (nap) is preferred. Great Chieftain is second choice.

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.
