With six of the eight a winner last time out, this looks better than average and although Galileo filly Winter Snowfall is bred to be special, she will need to improve from her Chelmsford maiden win to get the better of KALPANA. First and second in her two all-weather starts, she stepped up a gear to win a handicap here by 10 lengths and more than warrants a crack at this better contest. Lunar Eclipse holds an Oaks entry and may hold Friendly Soul in the race for third.

KALPANA looked right at home on this track when slamming a promising field in a C&D handicap last month and can take this step up in class in her stride if building on that as expected. Winter Snowfall is a big player for Godolphin, while the Gosden yard, which has won this 6 times in the last 10 years, have live contenders in Friendly Soul and Strutting.

Kalpana's 10l handicap win is easily the best form but there's notable promise among most of her rivals, including LUNAR ECLIPSE.

Stay Alert is officially the best horse in this line-up, but she hasn't won since September 2022 and is passed over on her first start of the season. Running Lion heads the early betting after her eighth in the Group 1 Champion Fillies and Mares last October but her best win so far was in Listed class, and a chance is taken on SILVER LADY. Lightly raced with just five starts, she won the Group 2 Cape Verdi at Meydan in January and looks all set for a successful season.

RUNNING LION won at this meeting last year and while she lacks a prep run this time that's no concern given the yard she represents and this drop in trip may help her cause. She's just about the most persuasive option, though Stay Alert is a huge threat on her best form, while Silver Lady isn't yet exposed and is another danger, even with a penalty.

It's feasible that Running Lion can deliver the career best she'll need but ASTRAL BEAU is smart and she has the benefit of a run.

HMS President won this last year for Alan King and is capable of another decent showing, despite carrying an extra 8lb on this occasion. New London has every chance in handicap company after coming home fourth and third at Meydan in Group 3 contests, but asking him to give 10lb to INTINSO looks a big ask. A winner at Wolverhampton in March and a running-on third at Kempton since, this trip may bring plenty of improvement from the lightly-raced four-year-old.

A really competitive heat, with NEW LONDON fancied to defy top weight dropping back into handicap company for the first time since winning at the July Meeting in 2022. Intinso should be suited by the longer distance this time and remains low-mileage in handicaps, with Vaguely Royal and the unexposed Cannon Rock others to consider.

The suggestion is to side with BAGUE D'OR if the ground is good or firmer, and Struth if it is softer than good.

FALLEN ANGEL took on the Irish and comprehensively beat them in their own back yard when she emerged as an impressive winner of the Moyglare at the Curragh last September. That was an outstanding performance and, given the daughter of Too Darn Hot had previously blown away the opposition when landing last year's edition of the Sweet Solera on the July course, this highly progressive filly has a major chance of obtaining Karl Burke a first Classic success. Ylang Ylang was only third in the Moyglare but blew that out of the water when she landed the Fillies' Mile on her next start. That experience of the trip could give Aidan O'Brien's sole representative an edge if stamina becomes an issue for the selection. French Group 2 winner Ramatuelle, along with Nell Gywn principles, Pretty Crystal and Dance Sequence, are others with rock-solid credentials in a fascinating renewal.

It was hard not be taken by the way FALLEN ANGEL picked up again when joined in the closing stages of the Moyglare and, with 1m likely to suit on that evidence, she can improve again and provide the increasingly-powerful Karl Burke stable with a first British Classic success. French-raider Ramatuelle is second choice ahead of Dance Sequence, who should relish the step up to 1m, and Fillies' Mile winner Ylang Ylang.

Having been so progressive and strong at the finish last season, FALLEN ANGEL (nap) gets the vote. Second choice is Ramatuelle.

Charlie Appleby and Godolphin throw three darts at this contest and although Lucky Gift and Ballet Show both have excellent pedigrees, it is MOUNTAIN BREEZE, a close relative of three-time Group 1 winner Pinatubo, who captures the imagination as the main suggestion here. We have yet to see the best of Appleby's current crop of juveniles but this regally-bred trio suggests the ball is about to gather strong momentum. Mademoiselle and River Seine are a couple of others to monitor in the betting.

The newcomers are likely to dominate so the market should prove informative. Charlie Appleby saddles 3 well-bred newcomers with MOUNTAIN BREEZE the standout being a close relation to connections' top-class 2-y-o Pinatubo. Karl Burke won this 2 years ago with subsequent Royal Ascot winner Dramatised so the same connections' River Seine is another likely type.

There are some very interesting types among the debutantes, most notably RIPPLE EFFECT. Second choice is River Seine.

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from THE ACTOR's never-nearer second on debut over C&D last month and that experience should stand him in good stead going forward. Richard Hannon's colt makes most appeal of those who have raced, although a big performance from newcomer Symbol Of Honour wouldn't surprise. The Havana Grey colt is a half-brother to the Group 1-placed Dragon Symbol and market support could prove significant. Al Qudra is also noted.

THE ACTOR produced a very promising first effort when narrowly denied over C&D last month and, with his trainer having won 2 of the last 4 renewals of this race, he is taken to go one better this time around. He can confirm the placings with Al Qudra from when the pair met here 19 days ago, while Symbol of Honour is one to note on debut.

It looks quite competitive among the runners with experience. SYMBOL OF HONOUR and Yaroogh are very interesting newcomers.

Cynosure opened his account a shade cosily on his reappearance in a novice at Lingfield last month. His current rating of 85 shouldn't prevent another bold bid, but there is a sneaking suspicion that BLACK RUN could be the better handicapped of the two. The son of Nathaniel shaped better than the beaten distance suggests on his sixth-placed finish in a Group 3 at Longchamp in April and he might have too much class for these rivals. Sea The Thunder and Mai Dubai also warrant closer examination.

CYNOSURE is yet to run a bad race and his pedigree points to improvement now upped in trip, so he gets the nod over Mai Dubai, who should also make a better 3yo. Sea The Thunder and Black Run also have potential, so it could be a competitive event for the numbers.

Nearly all bring clear promise. BLACK RUN is the only runner with a fancy entry (Dante) and his French run should have brought him on.

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.
