In what looks a closely-matched field, Mecca's Symphony could go well after a running-on third over this trip at Thirsk, and we may see a much better performance when she learns to settle. HORUS is narrowly preferred after his Catterick fourth and as a son of Expert Eye, the seventh furlong may bring the improvement needed. Stan Moore's Thiscouldbefun looks attractively weighted with Joe Leavy's 5lb claim and she is also considered.

After shaping well on her first 2 starts, GEO ended up furthest away from where the race unfolded at Windsor last time, so she remains capable of better as she makes her nursery debut. She is preferred to Sabrimento, who was also better than he could show at Epsom on his latest outing, with Tiete completing the shortlist.

Several of these are potential improvers for the switch to handicaps and CROCODILE RIVER may be the best of them now she's back at 7f.

HOLD A DREAM seems sure to prove popular after being sent off joint-favourite on her Sandown debut, when staying on over 5f for a one-length second, and that experience and step in trip could make her the one to beat today. Newcomer Motabaah has to be of interest and is bred to be speedy, so she is worth a market watch, while Pontefract second Glamour Show and Blue Point filly Sky Majesty are others to consider.

This looks a deep maiden with MAISSARA rather leaping off the page given her pedigree and sales price. Sky Majesty also ticks plenty of boxes on debut, with Hold A Dream sure to improve on the form of her opening effort now tackling 6f.

The market will help sort out some choice-looking newcomers butGLAMOUR SHOW already has C&D form in the book and gets the vote.

The only form worthy of a mention here is the Ascot third of Saariselka, but she was beaten close to eight lengths at the line and may be susceptible to a decent newcomer. William Haggas and Tom Marquand teamed up to win this race in 2021 with Sense Of Duty and they have a good chance again with Blue Point filly BLUE SECRET, who cost 150,000gns as a yearling, and she may get the better of Kebili, who looks the Hannon first string under Pat Dobbs.

SAARISELKA made an encouraging start under very considerate handling when third in a Ascot novice and can put that experience to good use. The well-bred Blue Secret holds an entry for the Rockfel Stakes and is the standout newcomer.

Ed Walker's SAARISELKA was short in the market for her debut at Ascot and she didn't shape at all badly after being slowly away.

An open contest in which many will fancy their chances, including Bona Fortuna, who completed a double at Windsor last month, and Scarlet Lady. The latter romped home at Yarmouth recently and is officially 8lb well-in today, although this is undoubtedly more demanding. Rating was narrowly denied over C&D last time and she might improve for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while handicap debutant Murashah is one to monitor closely in the betting. However, a chance is taken on FOOL'S GOLD . On target at Windsor last September, he went on to make little impact in the Flying Childers just 11 days later. There were signs of encouragement on his seasonal return, though, and a step up to 7f could be the making of him.

Lots with chances but BONA FORTUNA hasn't looked back since joining Mick Appleby and is fancied to make light of a 3 lb rise and go 3-3 for the yard now stepping up to 7f for the first time. Scarlet Lady goes unpenalised for her recent Yarmouth victory so rates an obvious threat, with handicap debutant Murashah and the handily-weighted Mercian Warrior also well in the mix. Fool's Gold completes the shortlist.

This is very open. A chance is taken on NORTH VIEW who ran well at Ascot in a race that suited those ridden more handily than he was.

The form of ROGUE ENCORE's Windsor third has worked out well, with the runner-up going in twice since then. Peter Chapple-Hyam's gelding is just 1lb higher now and he can step forward on this second start following wind surgery. Devoirs Choice, a narrow victor at Redcar recently, appeals as a likely contender having been nudged up just 2lb in the ratings, while others to note include Never Better, Glendower and Rich.

NEVER BETTER returns from a break as a 3-y-o with the profile of one who should have more to offer so he's the suggestion. Fellow 3-y-o Devoirs Choice has only been nudged up 2 lb for his recent Redcar success and is second choice ahead of Rich, who shaped well here last time, and Glendower, the mount of William Buick.

Ed Dunlop's PRESSURE'S ON has shown he can threaten off this mark and Lingfield last time didn't go to plan at all.

A step up in trip worked a treat for BILLIEGEE, who scored over today's 1m4f distance at Doncaster last month. James Ferguson's filly scored a shade cosily on that occasion and she looks capable of defying a 4lb rise in the ratings. Al Khawaneej River has posted two solid efforts in defeat since opening his account at Windsor in May and he's feared most, while Salik is a potential improver now upped in distance.

A tricky puzzle to solve despite the small field but BILLIEGEE resumed her progress upped to this trip when scoring at Doncaster last month and with further improvement anticipated, James Ferguson's filly shades the vote over Al Khawaneej River, who seemingly didn't quite stay when upped to 13.3f here 7 weeks ago. Salik can fill out third.

Back to a shorter trip and back against his own age group, AL KHAWANEEJ RIVER might be the answer to a tight handicap.

ONE COOL DREAMER has proved a different proposition since adopting more positive tactics, as evidenced with victories at Windsor and Newmarket of late. A hat-trick looks a strong possibility off just a 4lb higher mark than his latest success and Alan King's charge shades the verdict over Laura Bay. The daughter of New Bay regained the winning thread in ready fashion at Sandown last month and a 4lb rise in the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Wootton's Jewel is also noted returning to his only winning distance.

ONE COOL DREAMER has been on the upgrade of late and looks up to defying another 4 lb rise to complete the hat-trick. Charming Whisper has shaped better than the bare result on his last 2 outings and also makes the shortlist, with recent Sandown scorer Laura Bay also in the mix.

There should be a big run in CHARMING WHISPER (nap) who has not had the luck on his last two outings.

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. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. 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.
