WHISPERING WORDS returned with a breakthrough victory at Newmarket before nearly making it two on the bounce under a penalty at Kempton. The step up in trip appears likely to bring about improvement from Charlie Appleby's filly on her handicap debut. Red Danielle took advantage of an excellent opportunity to get off the mark at Yarmouth and she has to be high on the shortlist. Others to note include Totnes and Morning Poem.

This looks a hot handicap with TOTNES just about the most compelling candidate on the back of a runner-up effort despite not being seen to best effect at Newbury a fortnight ago. This trip could see Whispering Words elevate her form now handicapping for leading connections, with Queen Regent another to consider.

The step up in trip promises to suit Godolphin's unexposed handicap newcomer WHISPERING WORDS and she gets the nod under Ryan Moore.

ZOULU CHIEF has bounced back to form on his last couple of starts, with victories in the Racing League at Windsor and York's Ebor Festival, having already caused a major shock when scoring at 150/1 at Newbury on his second start. He sets the standard, especially on his Knavesmire success, and may prove a tough nut to crack. Woodhay Wonder has already won a valuable auction contest on the July Course and appears the most likely to serve it up to the selection. Midnite Runner, Rich Glory and newcomer Elderflower complete the shortlist.

ZOULU CHIEF holds the clear edge on the form of his striking York nursery win so looks very much the way to go in this valuable event. Michael Dods's improving Midnite Runner could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, going on again from his Thirsk novice success. Woodhay Wonder is another with the form to have a say on the back of his win on the July course here, with Invincible Aura completing the shortlist.

The clear pick is ZOULU CHIEF who won two nurseries in August in fairly breathtaking fashion. Woodhay Wonder is the chief threat.

CLOUDBREAKER has been running with plenty of credit in strong contests this season, including when fourth in both a Listed contest at Newbury won by Warm Heart and the King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot. Her latest effort saw her prove no match for Novakai on the July Course, but a return to handicap company presents her with a nice opportunity to get back to winning ways. Decoration was in good form prior to unseating her rider at Goodwood and remains open to progression. Blue Missile appears to have needed time to come to herself and her latest effort at Windsor suggested she may be heading in the right direction.

QUEEN EMMA is a rapidly-improving sort who went close to completing the hat-trick at Doncaster last month and, with the timefigure supporting the performance, she makes plenty of appeal from only 3 lb higher, especially with Dettori up. Long Ago has some strong form and is well worth another chance now going handicapping having seemingly raced on the unfavoured far side in a York listed event last time, with Decoration another to take seriously.

The William Haggas-trained 3yo QUEEN EMMA has a progressive profile and is taken to come out on top under Frankie Dettori.

INSPIRAL was back to her brilliant best when claiming a second Prix Jacques le Marois victory at Deauville. That was a fourth Group 1 success for this daughter of Frankel, one of which came over C&D in the 2021 Fillies' Mile, and she still has plenty more to offer. French raider Mqse De Sevigne is already a dual winner at the highest level so has to be feared, while last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Meditate also enters calculations after a more encouraging fourth in the Matron. The supplemented Heredia is the pick of the rest.

MQSE DE SEVIGNE and Inspiral are very closely matched on Timeform ratings so the former looks the value call for a yard that won this in 2015 with Esoterique. Heredia did well to win the Atlanta Stakes at Sandown 5 weeks ago and is best of the others.

The French challenger Mqse De Sevigne is a danger but INSPIRAL is taken to post her fifth Group 1 victory.

KING'S FOUNTAIN displayed plenty of promise when fourth on his introduction over 7f at Sandown and the son of Too Darn Hot could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Sisyphean is an obvious threat following his narrow defeat at Ayr, while Wonder and Classic Encounter have shown enough to warrant an interest. Royal Majesty is out of a mare who won a Grade 1 on turf in the US and any market support for him on debut would have to be noted.

SISYPHEAN ran to a similar level as on debut when edged out late on by another promising sort at Ayr's Western Meeting 16 days ago, and with the likelihood of more to come, Kevin Ryan's charge gets the nod to go one place better. Classic Encounter looked badly in need of the experience on his debut at Kempton yet, gelded subsequently, he promises to leave that effort in his wake and is feared. King's Fountain and Hand of God complete the shortlist.

This could go to the Roger Varian-trained newcomer ROYAL MAJESTY, who is by Frankel and out of a Grade 1-winning dam.

Newcomer MILITARY LEADER cost a pretty penny at the sales and he could be primed to strike for connections that have an excellent record with two-year-olds at this track. The booking of Ryan Moore is significant and the son of Dubawi may have too much for fellow debutant Francisco, who is a half-brother to Group 3 winner La Rioja. Gracious Leader is another to note for market support, while Leicester fourth Placo looks best of those with experience.

Charlie Appleby hasn't been as prolific with his juveniles this term but 1,500,000 gns yearling MILITARY LEADER ticks plenty of the right boxes so can come out on top with the booking of Ryan Moore catching the eye. Placo produced a promising effort when fourth at Leicester last month, so he may emerge as the main danger, with Point Sur and Gracious Leader another pair of newcomers needing close attention.

The form of PLACO's debut fourth at Leicester last month reads well and he can put that experience to good use.

A taking winner at Ascot on her first try at this distance, ZOUZANNA should be open to plenty more improvement, despite the rise in grade. Oisin Murphy retaining the ride is a big plus and she is preferred to C&D winner Speriamo and Coco Jamboo, who did it quite comfortably at Sandown. Vermilion returned from a year-long absence at Kempton and is entitled to come on from that promising third.

COCO JAMBOO was impressive at Sandown last time and, provided the pace is sound, she's capable of following up. Fellow last-time-out winner Zouzana is the chief threat and O G Beachwear can't be ruled out.

C&D winner SPERIAMO (nap) was a good third over 1m here recently, when shaping as though this drop back to 7f could be a positive move.

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.
