JUBA improved from first to second start when going well for a long way over C&D recently and, with normal improvement expected, he might be able to get off the mark on this occasion. A promising runner-up at Ayr on his penultimate outing, Haazeez is best judged on that form, while the well-bred Maelstrom is another to consider despite not showing much first time out at Haydock. Shameful and Wicket Keeper look to be the pick of the newcomers.

HAAZEEZ has been expensive to follow since his promising debut here but this looks a good opportunity in what is a weak maiden for the track. Belgrave offered something to work on at Kempton so must be respected for his excellent yard, with Shameful making the most appeal out of the newcomers.

This doesn't look the deepest of maidens by Newbury standards. HAAZEEZ returns from a break and his first two runs were promising.

This can go the way of FIRE FLAME, who was an encouraging third at Chelmsford last month in a race that has worked out very well in the interim. This track is likely to suit and he is preferred to Kempton second I Maximus, as well as Spirit Of Farhh, who ran a huge race on debut when narrowly denied at Ascot. Related to Group 1 winner Fairyland, Almeraq should be monitored for market support on his racecourse bow.

I MAXIMUS has let favourite backers down on a couple of occasions but there were still signs of greenness at Kempton and this evidently well-regarded colt is given one more chance. Spirit of Farhh rates an obvious danger after his promising opening effort at Ascot a fortnight ago. Fire Flame is another who looks capable of better, while Almeraq and Fast Track Harry are newcomers to monitor in the betting.

Almeraq is a choicely bred newcomer who needs a market check but SPIRIT OF FARHH gets the vote after his promising Ascot debut.

Trainer Sir Michael Stoute may have announced his retirement, but he will still have a major part to play in the early development of what looks like a high-class filly in ANNA SWAN. Handed a 3lb penalty for an impressive debut success at Yarmouth, the daughter of Almanzor is entitled to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she may have too many gears for Cathedral, who wasn't for catching on debut at Lingfield over 6f. Saariselka is another to note.

CATHEDRAL and Anna Swan both made sparkling winning debuts and are open to bundles of improvement, with the former narrowly preferred given the excellent form of her stable. Saariselka shouldn't be completely dismissed with the step up to 7f sure to bring about further progress.

Two fillies who were both impressive on their respective debuts clash in this with ANNA SWAN just preferred to Cathedral.

Green Icon arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having backed up his Chelmsford maiden success with a smooth nursery debut win at Haydock earlier in the month. Although he is going the right way, a 7lb rise could prove too much and AEGEAN SEA may be the one to take advantage. The son of Kingman seemed to find a mile too far on his latest start at Haydock when hanging left in the closing stages, but the return to 7f and first-time cheekpieces could prove just the tonic. Mandana, Jr Climbs and Lakers head the remainder.

The suggestion is LAKERS, who opened his account at Ffos Las in July and confirmed that improvement shown when pulling clear with the winner at Beverley since. Now heading into handicaps, George Boughey's colt can double his tally at the expense of Green Icon, who is improving in leaps and bounds and arrives chasing a hat-trick. Gilet, Mandana and Cristo are a trio of others to consider too in what looks a seriously competitive nursery.

George Boughey still has LAKERS entered in the Royal Lodge and his defeat at Beverley doesn't look too shoddy an effort now.

KING OF CITIES didn't need to improve much on his debut third at Newmarket to score at Chester at the end of last month. Unlike his half-brother, Commonwealth Cup hero Inisherin, a mile doesn't appear to be an issue for Richard Hannon's colt and he is taken to prove too strong for the opposition. Kempton winner Dunamase also boasts a smart pedigree and has to be respected along with Regal Ulixes, who didn't get the clearest of runs when third on his racecourse bow at Goodwood.

Often an informative contest with this year's renewal fancied to go the way of REGAL ULIXES. Andrew Balding's well-bred colt shaped with plenty of promise without being seen to best effect when third on debut at Goodwood 17 days ago and he looks sure to improve. The penalised pair, King of Cities and Dunamase, are both appealing types with claims, whilst market confidence behind newcomer Dissident would also look significant.

Dunamase and King Of Cities are promising and Dissident is Bluestocking's half-brother. REGAL ULIXES shaped well on debut.

A gelding operation seemed to help Nostrum when finishing runner-up in a Group 3 at Newmarket and recent wind surgery may further aid his cause. That said, he faces a potential improver at the trip in the shape of LAKE FOREST. If over the issues that caused him to be upset in the stalls and withdrawn at York last month, the three-year-old could be the one following two fine efforts to finish runner-up in the Commonwealth Cup and the Hackwood. Both Witch Hunter (second) and Jumby (third) went very close in the Hungerford here last month and also enter calculations.

LAKE FOREST was doing all his best work late on when runner-up here last time and could improve again over this longer trip. He is fancied to score. Nostrum and Witch Hunter are feared most.

Lake Forest has a big chance if the ground is suitable. If he is absent again, this might hand a good opportunity to WITNESS STAND.

In a wide-open event marginal preference is for BEELEY, who finally got off the mark over 1m4f at Ffos Las last time. The daughter of Camelot has chased home some above-average rivals this year and a mark of 84 may underestimate her on handicap debut. The hat-trick seeking Billiegee is an obvious threat but this does require another career best, while similar comments apply to Typical Woman. Blessed Honour is going in the right direction and has to be considered on her handicap bow too.

BLESSED HONOUR looked a good prospect when scoring at Nottingham last time and her opening mark seems reasonable, so she's marginally preferred to the hat-trick seeking Typical Woman. Billiegee is one of several others with feasible claims in a race that isn't short of depth.

Five have set out their stall with wins in the last month but it is hard to ignore BLESSED HONOUR who is far less exposed.

The unexposed More Thunder has to be of interest having hit the crossbar on his handicap debut at Chester last time. That said, preference is for SHAMRAN after the son of Kingman got off the mark over a mile at Salisbury three weeks ago. A mark of 82 should be workable on that evidence and he may even improve for this step up in trip. Odin Legacy edges out Galyx and Midnight Rumble to be best of the rest.

Provided that MUSTAZEED gets away on terms a third C&D victory could be on the cards for this 6-y-o. He shaped as though his turn was again near at Ascot in July before completely blowing the start at Goodwood next time. More Thunder looks a big threat on the back of his creditable handicap debut second at Chester, while unexposed duo Galyx and Odin Legacy also need considering.

The winner may come from the less exposed 3yos, with SHAMRAN (nap) preferred given the style of his 1m novice win.

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.

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.
