Beronia has placed on all three appearances over 6f to date and this 7f trip looks likely to suit. George Boughey's filly is a big player, but there are some intriguing newcomers on show, with the well-bred MAGICAL TRAIL making most appeal. The daughter of Blue Point is a half-sister to the Group 3-placed Romantic Rival and she's likely to know her job. Fellow debutants Bintjeddah and Jowddah must also be watched in the market.

MAGICAL TRAIL should be sufficiently well forward to do herself justice first time out and, without the benefit of market clues, she's fancied to make a winning debut. Beronia is a clear player having put up three solid showings to date and Jowddah is another notable newcomer.

Beronia sets the standard, but there are some interesting newcomers up against her such as MAGICAL TRAIL who gets the vote.

The market should prove informative for Half Moon Bay on debut and the son of New Bay certainly won't be found lacking for stamina over 7f judged on his pedigree. However, AL MISBAR should have learned plenty from his fourth-placed debut in a class 2 event at Ascot last month and he may find enough improvement to open his account. Valiant Knight and Stenmark are also noted.

AL MISBAR was a very expensive yearling with good reason, a relation to the outstanding Battaash, so he's worth a chance to build on an underwhelming debut by getting off the mark here. Valiant Knight is also open to improvement and Half Moon Bay is an interesting newcomer.

Expensive yearling STENMARK gets the nod on the strength of his form on a second visit to Doncaster. Al Misbar is next best.

A switch to turf proved just the tonic for ALL AGLEAM when making all at Lingfield last time out. The Andrew Balding-trained filly scored with something in hand that day and she looks more than capable of following up off a 6lb higher rating. Handicap debutant Dianara is interesting on her seasonal bow and the three-year-old isn't taken lightly racing off what appears a workable mark. Having returned to form in first-time blinkers when runner-up at Haydock recently, Star Mind is also worth a second look.

ALL AGLEAM got back on the up when scoring at Lingfield last time and she's fancied to improve further to defy her reassessed mark. Star Mind is an obvious danger if the blinkers work again, while Bernalda is another one with the potential for better.

This can go to BERNALDA who makes her handicap debut after having probably run into a nice newcomer at Redcar last time.

GREAT CHIEFTAIN produced a bit of shock to score by just under a length in a warm handicap at Goodwood earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 6lb. The son of Gleneagles looks to have been found a golden opportunity to make it three wins from his last four starts. Gressington has filled the top two places the last twice, including a win at Beverley, and could land a blow, while Charming Whisper is the pick of the remainder.

None of these can be ruled out but CHARMING WHISPER is fancied to gain compensation for his unlucky Brighton fourth last time out and bag a third victory of 2024. Great Chieftain arrives at the top of his game though and seems sure to pose a big threat, while in-form trio Gressington, Al Mootamarid and Royal Velvet all command plenty of respect too.

Top of the list is GREAT CHIEFTAIN (nap), who found more progress with his stylish win at Goodwood. Gressington is feared most.

TYPICAL WOMAN won by no less than 17 lengths in an apprentice handicap at Newbury last week and she gets to compete off the same rating. Considering the manner of that victory, she is very difficult to oppose. Bruno's Gold made a perfect start for the Peter Niven stable when scoring at Pontefract last time and is noted, while Sunset In Paris rates best of the rest.

TYPICAL WOMAN spreadeagled her field at Newbury last time and is hard to oppose having escaped a penalty for that apprentice handicap success here. Pontefract winner Bruno's Gold can chase home Ian Williams' improver ahead of Eljaytee.

This should go to TYPICAL WOMAN who avoids a penalty for her 17l romp in a Newbury apprentice event a week ago.

Aulis has filled the runner-up spot on each of his last three outings and has proven to be expensive to follow, but it would be foolish to dismiss him completely. However, REGAL CONNECTION looks the way to go. Charlie Appleby's three-year-old has shown a fair amount of ability in his three starts in maiden/novice company and is bred to be a lot better than a mark of 80. The Thunderer completes the shortlist.

THE THUNDERER signalled he's ready to end a losing sequence when runner-up here a week ago and can take full advantage of a 2 lb lower mark. Aulis might have to settle for runner-up spot once more with the much less exposed Old Saxony also in the mix along with Golden Phase and Regal Connection.

Preference is for the unexposed REGAL CONNECTION who has shown plenty of promise in his last two runs and looks on a fair opening mark.

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.
