Exoplanet is best excused his effort when finishing last (of six) in the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket in October and likely has more to offer this season. Marginal preference, however, is for TORITO, who travelled with purpose on his debut at Newbury in the same month, before inexperience appeared to get the better of him and he weakened into third. Overactive wasn't disgraced in two all-weather appearances over the winter and Ralph Beckett's inmate makes most appeal of the remainder.

A small field but an interesting opener all the same. The very well-bred TORITO shaped encouragingly when third on his debut at Newbury last autumn and is selected to make the most of the weight he receives from previous winner Exoplanet.

There were plenty of positives to take from TORITO's debut defeat at Newbury and a Derby entry bodes well. Exoplanet is feared.

Latin Verse appeared to improve for the step up in trip when winning over 1m4f at Lingfield in February and there may be some value in taking on the son of Postponed now returned this distance. MUDSKIPPER shaped as if 1m was on the sharp side for him last season and this first attempt over 1m2f could unlock the improvement needed for a first success for David Menuisier's colt. Bohemian Breeze is another who could improve for this stiffer test and he also warrants consideration.

DAWN VEGA shapes like this sort of trip will suit him and he's worth chancing to open his account at the possible expense of Latin Verse, a comfortable maiden winner last time. Mudskipper is another one to consider.

A typically trappy 3yo handicap at this early stage of the season. LATIN VERSE does at least have the benefit of a recent run.

FIX YOU reappeared in good form when collared close home over 6f at Kempton recently and, with this return to 5f and underfoot conditions to suit, she may been let in lightly off an opening mark of 77. Thankuappreciate doesn't have the benefit of a recent run, but Nigel Tinkler's charge may also have more to offer this season now entering handicaps and is feared most. Paddy's Day, Desperate Hero and Castan also have claims in a competitive-looking contest.

A case can be made for all of these but CASTAN ended last term on the up so gets the nod off a still handy-looking mark with the form of his Newcastle second having been franked. Recent Lingfield scorer Paddy's Day rates a big threat with handicap debutantes Fix You and Open Market much respected too.

The filly FIX YOU (nap) emerged as the best horse at the weights when narrowly denied on her AW reappearance. She'll love this ground.

TAJALLA won a decent-looking novice stakes at Newmarket on his only start as a juvenile and, given he won with authority that day, he is taken to cope with having to concede weight all round at this stage. Eternal Class impressed when she won a maiden at Thirsk on her racecourse bow and rates a big threat, if forgiven a modest effort on the all-weather when last seen. Fair Wind is also considered after posting a respectable third on debut over C&D last week.

TAJALLA has presumably had his share of issues to be off the track for a year but his debut win at Newmarket was very taking. He's in top hands so is taken to remain unbeaten, probably at the chief expense of Eternal Class and McCauley's Tavern.

Conditions won't concern McCAULEY'S TAVERN and he is preferred to Eternal Class.

TRUESHAN and Hollie Doyle teamed up to good effect when winning this race last season and, given how well the rest of the campaign panned out for the partnership, they are hard to oppose in the bid for back-to-back successes. Last season's Gold Cup runner-up, Mojo Star, rates as the chief danger, although Buzz, who hasn't been seen since winning a Grade 2 over hurdles 508 days ago, has to be of interest on his return, considering he won the 2021 renewal of the Cesarewitch on his penultimate start.

MOJO STAR may only have a maiden success to his name but he has proven himself to be high class with a number of fine efforts in Group 1 company, not least when splitting Kyprios and Stradivarius in a thrilling finish to the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot on his sole appearance in 2022. He appears to be versatile ground-wise and is taken to lower the colours of last year's winner Trueshan in what promises to be a fascinating clash between these two top-notch performers. Tashkhan is best of the rest.

You can set your clock by TRUESHAN when he gets these conditions and Alan King's star should repeat last year's success.

CLASS MEMBER makes both her handicap and turf debut in first-time cheekpieces following a fair fourth at Chelmsford over 7f last month. She is fairly well-related and must hold every chance off what appears a feasible opening mark of 71, but the Roger Varian-trained Bonkersinabundance was only narrowly denied on her sole turf run at Brighton last October and can give the selection plenty to think about. Anieres Girl completes the shortlist.

Preference is for EURYTHMICAL, who didn't get the breaks on handicap debut at Wolverhampton in December and is bred to appreciate this stiffer test of stamina. Class Member and Ravigill head the list of dangers.

Perhaps EURYTHMICAL can benefit from cheekpieces after running below expectations on her handicap debut.

Only denied a double by half a length over a mile at Newcastle last month, ELEVEN ELEVEN can have another big say in proceedings on his turf debut here. He is now rated 8lb above his last winning all-weather mark, though, so the class-dropping Mabre should not be taken lightly and could also be thereabouts. Nine Elms is another who warrants a market check.

MABRE has enjoyed a productive period on the AW of late and would have finished closer with a clear run at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Equally effective on turf and with fitness on his side, he's the most persuasive option. Nine Elms and Eleven Eleven are feared most.

It might be worth chancing MORE DIAMONDS on her first run for James Ferguson and belatedly returning to genuine soft ground.

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.
