A tentative selection can go to MONTEROSA, who seeks to enhance her yard's record in this contest. The daughter of Lope De Vega is out of the Oaks-heroine Anapurna and, while further will suit in time, this could be an ideal starting point. Charlie Appleby often excels with his juveniles here, so both Beautiful Love and Silver Feather must be respected. Raheena, See The Fire and Surveyor also warrant a market check.

A field of juvenile fillies, all debutantes, and a number that catch the eye on paper. The market should provide extra clues, but Godolphin's BEAUTIFUL LOVE, a daughter of Siyouni, certainly ticks a lot of boxes and gets the nod. Monterosa, who's out of an Oaks winner, and Heartfullofstars are highly respected, too.

Siding with a Charlie Appleby 2yo here often reaps rewards and BEAUTIFUL LOVE looks the pick of his pair on jockey arrangements.

PHOENIX DUCHESS wasn't able to lay a glove on Carolina Reaper (due to run in the Sweet Solera at 3.40) when third over C&D three weeks ago, but she did finish close to the second that day, who has since bolted up at Lingfield. This mark doesn't look beyond her with that in mind and she gets the nod. Miss Roberts merits respect eased in grade, while others to note include Sleven and Lady Wulfrun.

PHOENIX DUCHESS ran on well when third in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago and there should be more to come from her again now handicapping. She gets the vote over Sleven, Lady Wulfrun and Biloxi Boy in a useful-looking nursery.

Most of these can be given a squeak but the suggestion is PHOENIX DUCHESS who made pleasing late headway in a maiden here recently.

TAJANIS was no match for the progressive Sweet William at Doncaster on his latest outing, but the unexposed son of Australia might be on a workable mark on that evidence. He is fancied to shed the maiden tag here at the main expense of Edge Of Darkness, who arrives having notched up a brace of victories at Thirsk. Ready To Shine is another to consider.

TAJANIS was no match for Sweet William at Doncaster on his most recent outing, but there's no shame in that and he strikes as the type to eke out a bit more improvement now switching to handicap company, so gets the nod to come out on top. Last week's Lingfield-scorer Major Major is up in grade but could well progress further, with Dashing Panther completing the shortlist.

While flattered to get within 5l of last week's Goodwood winner Sweet William, TAJANIS has to be of strong interest at this level.

FALLEN ANGEL showed a good attitude when second over 7f at Sandown last time in Listed company and she appears primed to offer another bold bid here. This better ground is likely to suit Karl Burke's runner and she can build on that effort. Soprano was just a length behind the selection on that occasion and another good battle can be expected, while last-time-out winners Carolina Reaper and Wild Goddess can also compete in this hotter contest.

FALLEN ANGEL is taken to confirm last month's Sandown superiority over Soprano and provide in-form Karl Burke with another winner. Best of the remainder could be Godolphin's Wild Goddess who ran out an easy winner of a C&D novice 3 weeks ago and looks capable of making her mark in a higher grade.

A smart renewal. CAROLINA REAPER (nap) has already performed to a smart level and appeals as a filly with a lot more to offer.

Gweedore dead-heated for the win last time over 7f at Doncaster and he looks likely to be in the mix once again, but he may be susceptible to some better treated rivals such as LETHAL LEVI. Karl Burke's gleding has been dropped 1lb in the ratings after his fifth over 6f at York last time and the form of that race is turning out well, with the first and second subsequently winning. Amber Island completes the shortlist.

LETHAL LEVI has an excellent record here and is on a good mark on the pick of his form, so could be worth chancing having a rare start at this trip. There was little between Thunder Ball and Urban Sprawl when placed in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and the two 3-y-os in the field head the dangers.

Sir Winston is respected but this can lie between URBAN SPRAWL and Thunder Ball who are hard to split on Royal Ascot form.

DAYSOFOURLIVES has made a pleasing start to his career and he got off the mark when scoring over 1m at Kempton last time. Marco Botti's charge makes his handicap bow here and an opening mark of 85 doesn't appear out of his reach. Better can be expected of Sceptic and he is entitled to respect, while Merlin The Wizard should also be in the mix.

SNIPER'S EYE continued his theme of race-by-race progress when runner-up behind a useful Godolphin inmate 7 weeks ago (pulled clear of the remainder) and, with further progress in the offing now handicapping, he could be the answer. Wind In Your Sails remains the type to do better herself in handicaps and is feared, whilst Sceptic could bounce back from a lesser effort at Sandown following a 5-week break.

The tentative suggestion is SNIPER'S EYE who had subsequent winners behind him when runner-up here in his final novice.

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.
