With several top yards represented, the betting market should be informative. Stable companions Verse Of Love and Wild Angel, along with the likes of Mystery Of Love and Revelance, all fly the flag for high-profile trainers from these shores and command respect. However, Ballydoyle raider HEAD TO HEAD could be the way to go now the daughter of Wootton Bassett switches to turf after a highly encouraging second-placed finish on her debut at Dundalk last month.

A back-end maiden that is sure to work out, with HEAD TO HEAD just about the most persuasive option for her leading stable on the back of a highly-encouraging debut at Dundalk a fortnight ago. Mother Mara and Wilhelmina are sure-fire improvers in their own right, with Verse of Love possibly the pick of the newcomers.

Newcomers have dominated this race since 2018. VERSE OF LOVE and Revelance are particularly interesting in this year's field.

Having finished runner-up in a couple of Group 2 events already, The Strikin Viking should be a key player despite failing to do himself justice by running too freely in the Gimcrack at York in August. However, MIDNIGHT THUNDER is less exposed and appeals after he easily brushed aside a 7lb penalty in a novice stakes at Yarmouth last month. This obviously demands more but the son of Kodiac could find the requisite improvement with Oisin Murphy retaining the ride. Treasure Isle and Mr Lightside are other strong contenders.

Lots with chances in a fascinating Cornwallis but this could go the way of the Irish with the progressive GRANDE MARQUES taken to build on her excellent Group 3 third at Ayr and fend off Aidan O'Brien's consistent Treasure Isle. Zayer looks to have more to offer and could emerge as the best of the home contingent ahead of The Strikin Viking and Midnight Thunder.

The suggestion is GRANDE MARQUES, an in-form filly who promises to be suited by 5f. The Strikin Viking is second choice.

MISS FASCINATOR was a ready winner on the July course on her penultimate start before finding only the potentially high-class Tabiti too good in the Dick Poole at Salisbury last month. Those are two strong pieces of form, which earn the daughter of Mehmas a tentative vote in a highly-competitive edition of this race. Charlie Appleby has a strong chance of back-to-back winners if Magical Trail copes with the rise in class on her first try outside of novice company. Flight and Ecstatic are other key players to consider.

A wide open Oh So Sharp Stakes and it could go the way again of Charlie Appleby who took this 12 months ago and can repeat the feat with his unbeaten Blue Point filly MAGICAL TRAIL now she is returned to 7f. William Haggas' First Instinct can also advance her form for this stiffer stamina test and is next on the list, although Ralph Beckett's exciting filly Cathedral and the more experienced duo Miss Fascinator and Ecstatic can also have a say. Mandurah completes the shortlist.

Lingfield scorer CATHEDRAL looks a Group filly in the making and is first choice ahead of Flight, who holds solid claims on form.

Having started slowly and finishing in last place in the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in July, it is too soon to be writing off NOBLE DYNASTY. Previous to that mishap, Charlie Appleby's gelding proved a game winner in the Criterion Stakes on the July course and a return to the Rowley Mile is certainly no negative for this dual C&D winner. A more aggressive ride and drop in class saw Royal Scotsman making all in the Diomed Stakes at Epsom last time out and the four-year-old is feared most, ahead of Witness Stand.

Low-mileage 6-y-o NOBLE DYNASTY has improved again this season, successful over C&D in the spring before landing a Group 3 on the July Course in June. With a line best put through his run at Glorious Goodwood a month later, this has presumably been the target since and he makes plenty of appeal. Royal Scotsman arrives fresher than most and he's an intriguing contender along with the highly admirable and prolific Quinault. Great Generation is one of the 3-y-os to note.

Smart ROYAL SCOTSMAN is taken to follow up his Epsom win. Witness Stand is second choice, ahead of Noble Dynasty.

Dreamy supplemented her gutsy maiden victory at Goodwood with a ready victory in a Group 3 at the Curragh later in August. The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly merits respect in her bid to land a hat-trick, but DESERT FLOWER may prove too strong. The daughter of Night Of Thunder proved a decisive winner in the May Hill at Doncaster last month and she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten record on this fourth appearance. Tabiti looks best of the remainder.

DESERT FLOWER has looked a top-notch filly on each visit to the racecourse to date and she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten record for all that this is her sternest test to date. Dreamy and Tibiti also arrive with a 100% record, so they add plenty of strength to the contest along with the likes of Anna Swan and January, who also have plenty of potential.

Desert Flower is strongly respected but an interesting alternative at bigger odds is the suitably bred and promising ANNA SWAN.

KILDARE LEGEND was an easy winner at Southwell in July before defying an opening mark of 85 in comfortable fashion at Doncaster last month. A 6lb rise ought to be well within range given the manner of that success, and, though this is competitive, James Ferguson's charge is fancied to go in again. Alan King landed this with Trueshan in 2019 and he would appear to hold a live chance with recent Ascot scorer Brioni. Grey Cuban won on Town Moor last time out and he is respected up 3lb, along with Mount Atlas and Irish raider Highland Bling.

MOUNT ATLAS had Melrose-winner Tabletalk behind in third when scoring on Ascot handicap debut at the end of July and can make light of a 7 lb rise on his first outing since. Kildare Legend looks capable of better again on the back of his Doncaster success last month and is feared most ahead of Sun God, who failed to stay 1¾m in the Melrose but was prominent enough for a long way to think his mark is very workable.

The most likely improvers seem to be BRIONI (nap), Mount Atlas and Kildare Legend, with Brioni preferred.

Oaks runner-up DANCE SEQUENCE hasn't been seen since finishing down the field in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly in July, but she returns from that absence in much calmer waters and is fancied to resume her progress. Sound Angela (winner) had the measure of High Spirited (third) in the John Musker at Yarmouth last time out and can be expected to confirm her superiority, but Verbier, who contested a Grade 2 at Saratoga recently, could be the bigger threat.

NOVUS proved as good as ever when scoring in listed company at Goodwood last time and appeals as a very solid option in bidding to record back-to-back wins in this contest. Oaks runner-up Dance Sequence is perhaps the stand-out on form and can't be discounted despite an absence and her high draw, whilst Sound Angela beat several of her opposition at Yarmouth last time and should still have plenty in the tank after a light season, so also makes the shortlist.

This most surely hinges on whether DANCE SEQUENCE can perform as she did in the Oaks. Her run in the Diane is probably best forgiven.

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.
