Having landed the corresponding event from a 1lb higher mark 12 months ago, HOT TEAM is fancied to repeat the dose. The gelded son of Zoffany has been in fine fettle recently and that could give him an edge over some out-of-form rivals. We Still Believe appeals as one of the more likely challengers, while dual course winner Oscar Doodle heads the remainder.

A low-key start to proceedings in which ALHABOR is selected to make just his second outing on the all-weather a winning one having again had little luck in running at Nottingham last month. Cheekpieces replace the usual blinkers, and he can get the better of International Law, who continues to slide in the weights. Last year's winner Hot Team and Ana Emaraaty round off the shortlist.

The 5yo WE STILL BELIEVE pulled up over hurdles last time but was running well on the Flat prior to that. He looks the safest option.

Tafsir looks set to mount another stern challenge following consecutive victories at Musselburgh and Hamilton, but preference is for ELOPED. The Golden Horn filly took a marked step forward when finishing second at Chelmsford and she looks set to progress further now pitched into handicaps. Can Can Girl ought to be involved after occupying the runner-up berth at Hamilton, while Bookmark is just one more to consider.

TAFSIR has taken her form up a notch since being stepped up in trip so Jim Goldie's 4-y-o is fancied to bring up the hat-trick having scored a shade cosily at Hamilton just less than 2 weeks ago. Eloped showed much improved form back on all-weather when runner-up in June, so she could be the one to give the selection most to think about on handicap debut, ahead of Turner Girl and Can Can Girl.

With further progress entirely possible, ELOPED looks interesting on her handicap debut. Can Can Girl is second choice.

MY ROXANNE has shown plenty on an artificial surface, including when successful over C&D from 3lb lower in June. She gets the nod back here following a good third at Ayr, although Saisons D'Or, who is well treated judged on past exploits, should give her plenty to think about. Star Map steps up in trip for her handicap bow and market support should be noted.

Lots with chances but EL JAD is taken to build on his promising Wolverhampton fourth and gain his breakthrough success at the chief expense of 3-time C&D winner Saisons d'Or. My Roxanne is another with winning form here who must enter calculations along with Go Sing and Billy McGarry.

A few with chances but GO SING has made a decent start for his new yard and drops into Class 6 company this time.

First-time cheekpieces may benefit GREYCIOUS ANNA following her third at Catterick and there should be plenty more to come from this lightly-raced three-year-old. The usually reliable Platinum Girl, who had excuses when not running up to scratch in that Catterick contest, could easily bounce back, while it is also worth keeping an eye on Martini Nights now she's going handicapping for the first time.

CARLTON AND CO shaped as if back in form when finishing sixth at Thirsk last month and, yet to run a bad race on the all-weather, Mick & David Easterby's 4-y-o gets the tentative nod to belatedly open her account. Platinum Girl produced a rare below-par effort last time, but she's fancied to bounce back quickly, with handicap-debutantes Martini Nights and Thawg another couple worth keeping an eye on.

On the back of a very solid C&D effort, ORIGINAL THINKER (nap) could well go one better. Abbey's Dream is second choice.

BEECHWOOD STAR sets the standard following his eye-catching debut performance at Thirsk and his runner-up effort at Ayr last month. Richard Fahey's colt is likely to make the most of his experience and shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. I'm Spartacus improved from his first start when finishing second at Beverley and the extra furlong is unlikely to be an inconvenience. Newcomers Emu War and Birchwood Drive appeal most of the remainder.

BEECHWOOD STAR left his debut run behind when just failing at Ayr and this looks an excellent opportunity. I'm Spartacus also stepped up on his debut when second at Beverley and looks the obvious threat, with Emu War making most appeal of the newcomers.

I'm Spartacus is open to improvement now up in trip but preference is for BEECHWOOD STAR following his near-miss at Ayr.

The penny appeared to drop late for AL WAASL when running on strongly to finish third at Newbury and, with the likelihood of a fair amount of improvement to come, he is expected to prove too strong for the opposition. Project Geofin is capable of bouncing back from his latest effort at Doncaster and he is respected, along with newcomer Last Addition, who is a half-sister to a multiple Listed-placed filly.

AL WAASL shaped very well come the finish when third at Newbury and should take the beating. Kings Merchant and Last Addition are a couple of newcomers to note.

Having been a promising third on his debut at Newbury three weeks ago, AL WAASL gets the nod. Project Geofin is a danger.

Having last won off a 10lb higher mark, Glorious Rio has a live chance on these terms if he is still capable of matching anywhere near his peak performances, while the unexposed Noble Captain appeals strongly for a place at least on only his fourth start in a handicap. However, MUDDY LYNN is readily preferred for win-only purposes, given she is a previous C&D winner who still has bags of scope to improve over this trip.

MOSTALLIM bounced back to score in emphatic fashion at Chelmsford last time and, escaping the penalty, he should be able to comfortably follow up if in the same form. Nickleby goes well fresh and looks of interest after 4 months off, while Muddy Lynn should give her running again.

Mostallim is well ahead of the handicapper but both Noble Captain and MUDDY LYNN appeal in opposition.

Mutanaaseq is versatile trip-wise and and is shorlist material, despite picking up 4lb extra for winning over 7f at Catterick. However, he is also due to appear at Redcar on Wednesday so ONE FOR THE LADIES, who arrives on the back of a successful performance at Wolverhampton, shades preference given she is a previous C&D winner who has fared a bit better with the draw. Struck Gold was only a neck behind the selection at Dunstall Park so also looks capable of going well.

WEE FAT MAC shaped better than the result at Ayr last time and has a solid record on tapeta, so he's worth chancing for a stable that has been amongst the winners recently. Mutanaaseq is an obvious danger if taking his chance (entered at Redcar on Wednesday) and Carribean Sunset is likely to give another good account if the race doesn't come too soon.

The recent Wolverhampton handicap in which ONE FOR THE LADIES beat Struck Gold may prove the key formline.

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.
