Hat-trick seeker MIN HUNA won cosily when stepped up to 1m2f at Sandown most recently and looks progressive enough to cope with an 8lb higher mark. The softer ground is something of a concern for the selection but she's worth sticking with for now. Ashariba also bids to complete a three-timer and is feared most back on turf, albeit off 6lb higher than her win at Kempton last month. Warda Jamila and Karmology complete the shortlist.

MIN HUNA found another chunk of improvement when making a winning handicap debut at Sandown 5 weeks ago and William Haggas' filly can improve further to complete the hat-trick. Warda Jamila was value for extra when gaining a deserved success at Haydock last month and is respected again, whilst the prolific Ashariba has been improving all the time recently and also makes the shortlist.

There is plenty to like about Min Huna, Ashariba and Warda Jamila but NOISY JAZZ may scupper them on her handicap debut.

THE DRAGON KING should relish the step back up to 6f. The son of Invincible Army was full of running when just denied over the minimum trip at Hamilton last month and the additional yardage is very much in his favour. Invincible Annice wasn't beaten far into third in that race and offers some each-way appeal over this longer trip. Twafeeg and Afentiko are others for serious consideration.

Several of these are closely matched on these terms but BRIGHTON BOY looks the solid option as he's proven on the ground and has plenty of experience for a race like this. Twafeeg hasn't been seen since a respectable run in the Albany and is potentially a big threat, while Fleetwater and Morte Point make each-way appeal at bigger odds.

The choice is TWAFEEG, not seen since finishing seventh in the Albany, but she had looked promising on her successful Doncaster debut.

INSPIRAL was imperious in this race 12 months ago and would be hard to beat if she recaptures that level of form. The daughter of Frankel acts with juice in the ground and can be expected to have been primed for back-to-back wins. Stable companion Nashwa is no back number and adds depth to the race. Tamfana (fourth) and Elmalka (winner) are closely matched on the 1000 Guineas form and the former might be able to turn the tables.

This isn't an easy race to assess but the Gosden-trained 5-y-os NASHWA and Inspiral do have the slight edge on form over the 3-y-os. Inspiral was very impressive in this a year ago but hasn't looked quite the same mare this term, so the versatile Nashwa is just preferred on her return to action. Sea The Fire could be the pick of the Classic generation.

A fascinating Sun Chariot may go to the improving SEE THE FIRE (nap) who arrives after a ready win against male rivals in the Strensall.

A half-sister to Group 3 winner Kemari, who won over further, CHORUS is bred to improve for going up in trip and she gave the impression the extra yardage would suit when rallying late in the piece for third over 1m2f here last time out. William Haggas' filly is narrowly preferred to easy Kempton scorer Incensed and Cabrera, who went close in a similar type of contest at Doncaster last time.

Lots with chances but TYPICAL WOMAN still looks ahead of her mark despite being hit with a 9 lb rise by the official assessor so edges the vote in her hat-trick bid. Course-winner Big Bear Hug heads the list of dangers, although D Day Arvalenreeva, Tafsir and Chorus can all have a say too.

The two best options may be CHORUS and Tafsir, with Cabrera and Typical Woman also on the shortlist.

Placed on both career outings at Sandown, WILD NATURE sets the standard on form and the experience gained from those efforts should stand him in good stead. The form of his stable is a big plus and the son of Kingman gets the vote ahead of costly newcomer Nebras, who is a half-brother to stable star Nashwa. A disappointment on debut at Ascot when going off favourite, Cape Breton could be a different proposition on this occasion.

WILD NATURE's experience edge ought to count for plenty here and the Godolphin in-mate can make that count possibly at the chief expense of highly appealing newcomer Nebras, a half-brother to connections very smart Nashwa. Cape Breton is another likely to leave the form of his Ascot debut well behind for his powerful stable.

Wild Nature sets the standard but CAPE BRETON shaped better than his Ascot result suggests. Nebras is half-brother to Nashwa.

Charlie Appleby and William Buick are often a force to be reckoned with on the Rowley Mile and Secret Theory, who is related to a handful of useful types, merits the utmost respect on debut. However, preference is for CROWN OF OAKS. A 260,000gns purchase, the son of Wootton Bassett looks the part on paper and, with his yard enjoying a decent spell of form, it would come as no surprise were he to make an immediate impact. Others to note include Spirit Of Summer and Palmarian.

A few interesting newcomers, none more so than Godolphin's SECRET THEORY. Palmarian, Moutai and Crown of Oaks are other debutants who make paper appeal, while Dewhurst-entry Dragonflame may prove pick of those with experience.

This can go to a newcomer and the well-bred SECRET THEORY gets a narrow vote ahead of Palmarian.

RAHEENA hasn't looked back since switching to the all-weather in August, winning at Kempton before following up on her handicap bow at Southwell last month. She is now 4lb higher back on the grass, but she is unlikely to have reached the ceiling of her ability yet and ought to have every chance of landing the hat-trick if handling these different conditions. The Eyes Have It finished second to the selection at Kempton and is taken to get closer, while Madame De Sevigne appeals most of the remainder.

Cases can be made for plenty, but MERESIDE DIVA was value for some additional credit given her position in a modestly-run affair when runner-up at Ayr a fortnight ago so is fancied to register a third success of the campaign at the expense of Raheena, who is a filly firmly on the up and arrives in search of a hat-trick. Testing conditions won't hinder Princess Alex, so she's marginally preferred to The Eyes Have It for third spot.

Raheena is tempting after back-to-back AW wins but she may be vulnerable to 7f specialist MERESIDE DIVA.

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.
