Influential has shown a tendency to race freely, so perhaps the first-time hood can help combat that. This is sure to be tactical, though, which might be of greater benefit to SACRED FIRE. The son of Cracksman made a winning debut at Newmarket last November in a contest that has worked out extremely well. Upped to the mile for his return, he is expected to defy a penalty en route to further success. Debutant Raja Charger looks booked for third place.

We haven't seen him since his winning debut at Newmarket last November but SACRED FIRE ran to a useful level that day and gets the nod.

None of these arrive in better form than Sweet Kiss, who made it three wins from her last four starts when on target at Pontefract. However, a 5lb hike in the ratings coupled with a rise in class will make life tougher and a chance can be taken on CLOTH OF GOLD. Charlie Johnston's colt struggled in a warm class 2 at Ayr, but this won't be as taxing and a return to Tapeta appears to be another positive. Last year's winner Natzor should not be written off.

The vote is for SWEET KISS (nap), who scored at Pontefract to make it three wins from her last four starts and is open to more progress.

Cloudside Rock cruised to victory on the soft at Ffos Las and he merits the utmost respect from 4lb higher, but the vote goes to RUBELLITE. Third, beaten a nose by the reopposing Percy Willis (second) over this C&D nine days ago, despite finding all sorts of trouble at a crucial stage, she holds outstanding claims from an unchanged mark.

Preference is for CLOUDSIDE ROCK, who got off the mark with a 4l win at Ffos Las in August and has been raised 4lb.

HAMDA'S JOY was a promising third on her debut at Chelmsford last month, a performance that she could build on today. Drawn wide in that contest, the daughter of Kodi Bear did well to maintain a handy position throughout and the run should have taught her plenty. Others with experience, Hewi and Dalamara don't set an daunting standard. With that in mind, Prima Domina, who fetched 60,000gns as a yearling, wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to have a big impact on her racecourse bow.

Hewi and HAMDA'S JOY can both build on their debut efforts. The betting should be useful with regard to the newcomers.

ROTOKURA BELLE was raised 7lb having won in cosy fashion over the minimum trip at Southwell last Saturday and she could be tough to stop if coping with a step up to 6f. She's Crafty looks the biggest danger to the selection after a promising second-placed finish over 7f at Wolverhampton recently. Nursery debutants Fizzy Cristal and Thornaby Annie are a couple of others to consider.

Fizzy Cristal is bred to be much better than this level but SHE'S CRAFTY may be the answer after a good AW debut 12 days ago.

BE THE STANDARD was well supported in the betting when breaking his maiden tag in a novice event at Thirsk in August and now switched to nurseries, this looks another good opportunity. The class-dropping Champion Island and Sovereign View are closely matched on official ratings and they can make this a good test for the selection. Dryburgh is an interesting alternative following a more encouraging performance at Chester most recently.

All five runners have something to recommend them but BE THE STANDARD's formlines are strong and he could have been let in lightly.

Having completed a double over C&D last month, MONSIEUR BONDY is one to keep on the right side of. The three-year-old makes his handicap bow off what looks a workable mark and further glory could be imminent. Master Richard has won two of his last three outings and could be the main threat, ahead of progressive juvenile Bold Impact, who makes his first start as a three-year-old.

Aramis Grey and SWORD are accustomed to tackling stronger races and the latter, granted some luck, can exploit a favourable mark.

MERAPI returned to form with a creditable second on her handicap bow at Salisbury last month and compensation could await. Ed Walker's filly, who is able to compete from an unchanged mark, ticks plenty of the right boxes and is taken to repel Miss Yorkshire. The daughter of Johnny Barnes might have been unsuited by soft ground when eighth at Thirsk last time out and reverting to Tapeta will suit. Fistral Beach heads the remainder.

The unexposed MERAPI should appreciate the return to 7f and can prove too strong for Miss Yorkshire.

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.
