The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Three Platoon was a comfortable winner over C&D last Tuesday and although respected under a 5lb penalty, it is VIOLETA that shades preference. Ben Haslam's filly made it 22nd time lucky over track and trick a fortnight ago, but she remains competitively handicapped and could go in again following that confidence boosting triumph. Volenti hit the frame last time out and a similar level of performance can see him make his presence felt.

THREE PLATOON went nearly 3 years without a win but might be able to gain a second C&D victory in quick succession if showing up in the same form as last week. Ben Haslam pair Violeta, another last-time-out C&D winner, and Volenti might give Rebecca Menzies' charge most to do.

Only the recent C&D winners THREE PLATOON and Violeta make much appeal. The selection can overcome carrying a 5lb penalty.

Stamina isn't a given for many of these, but that can't be said for PONS AELIUS. The son of Galileo hasn't always been the most consistent this term, but he finished fourth in the Northumberland Vase here in June and a similar level of performance would be good enough to land the spoils. Sydney Seabreeze has few miles on the clock and could find more for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while Unique Spirit should not be underestimated.

The two 3-y-os may dominate this, with UNIQUE SPIRIT taken to build on a couple of placed efforts over C&D and gain a first success at the expense of Newmarket raider Sydney Seabreeze.

Unique Spirit should go well once more but the vote goes to SYDNEY SEABREEZE, who could yet be capable of better.

Indy's Angel bolted up over C&D last time out and she ought to make a good fist of things despite the 6lb penalty, but the vote goes to EMPOWERED QUEEN. Ollie Sangster's juvenile steps into nurseries from a workable mark of 62. Stall 12 is a positive and, given that she is bred to be useful, it would come as no surprise were she to take the necessary step forward. Fellow nursery debutant King Of Lir makes some interest, along with Rose Of New Jersey.

INDY'S ANGEL had plenty to spare over C&D last week and is taken to defy a penalty. Rose of New Jersey ran well for second at Thirsk last time and can fill the runner-up spot again. Empowered Queen and King of Lir are possible improvers now switching to nurseries, particularly if the betting speaks in their favour.

Rose Of New Jersey goes on the shortlist but EMPOWERED QUEEN should be capable of more now she's handicapping at an ordinary level.

A maiden through four starts, Pinsent has looked capable on his day but might be one for handicaps down the line, while Brividi wasn't disgraced first time out over further at Wolverhampton. GENTA could be the one, though. Alice Haynes' charge displayed some improvement from his first to second run and has been found a good opening to make it third-time lucky.

If ALREET CHA can get back to anywhere near her best in first-time cheekpieces it might be her day. Chatty is another who needs to shrug off some lesser efforts but his peak form puts him bang there.

It's unlikely ALREET CHA, who ran well over C&D a couple of times early in the year, will be found a better opening.

A 270,000gns purchase at the sales, this can go the way of newcomer SECOND NAME, who is bred to be smart being a half-brother to the stable's Mill Reef winner Sakheer. The booking of James Doyle is a positive one and he could have too much for Thelma's Angel, who has not been in action since a comfortable success at Ayr in May. An easy debut scorer at Ffos Las on heavy ground, Minnie Wildes may have been flattered by the winning margin on that occasion and could find this tougher.

MINNIE WILDES was impressive on her Ffos Las debut and has to be considered the one to beat, although a strong market move for Roger Varian newcomer Second Name would put a slightly different slant on things. Thelma's Angel looks best of the rest.

Minnie Wildes and Thelma's Angel have potential but are being asked to concede weight to the well-related SECOND NAME.

Now that SOUL SINGER has regained the winning thread after a comfortable success over 5f at Musselburgh, Tim Easterby's charge is likely to improve for going back up in trip, especially at a track where he was narrowly denied in March. Sergeant Mayer may have disappointed on his two starts here but has strong claims on his recent second at Beverley, while She'sashambles was only worn down late in the piece when bidding for the double over C&D last month.

COURT DRIVE was unlucky not to finish closer here last time, only getting room to fully open up inside the final furlong. She looks ready to strike again. Sergeant Mayer and Indivar are feared most.

Indivar won't mind the return to sprinting, but COURT DRIVE hasn't had much luck since handicapping and is preferred.

With Aiden Brookes claiming 3lb, MISSMIMI is effectively 1lb lower than for her 6f success here last month and is the most attractive option in handicapping terms, despite this being only her second attempt over the minimum trip. Stallone is a three-time C&D winner who can make this tough for the selection if on a going day. Sassy Soprano is handily drawn and also appeals for a place on the assumption that first-time blinkers can draw some improvement.

MISSMIMI has thrived since coming to Newcastle and can win again dropped back to 5f in a weak contest. Stallone and Blackcurrent are a couple of the other more obvious players.

The drop to 5f is the worry with Missmimi and dual C&D winner JOSHUA R, who has often gone well fresh, is preferred.

THE COOKSTOWN CAFU justified strong support in the betting when he won over course and distance a fortnight ago and, on just his second start for David O'Meara, a 2lb higher mark is far from insurmountable now he has proven to be effective on Tapeta. Streak Lightning struggles for consistency but can also go well if buoyed by his own C&D win last time. Ideal Guest and B Associates debut for new yards and are others to note in the betting.

THE COOKSTOWN CAFU made his first start away from turf a winning one for his new yard here recently and can strike again. Patontheback and Maxi Boy could be a couple of the dangers.

Being still favourably treated, THE COOKSTOWN CAFU (nap) is taken to complete a C&D double. Patontheback is second choice.

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.
