Although hooded for her debut, WINTER'S BLOOM could be a cut above these rivals. The daughter of Dubawi is a sister to the high-class Naval Crown, who won the Platinum Jubilee Stakes for these connections three years ago. It's possible that she'll want further in time, but the same could be said of fellow newcomers Birdcall and Cercis. Hello It's Me made a pleasing introduction at Chester but while she ought to improve, it is difficult to know what that form is worth.

Hello It's Me should go well. The four newcomers, perhaps headed by WINTER'S BLOOM, all need a close look, though.

PIQUE' was arguably in better form when on target in the corresponding event 12 months ago but she's only 1lb higher now and, perhaps crucially, ground conditions will be in her favour. Cecilia Star and the ex-French Rodoya merit close inspection, as does El Megeeth, but Brielle could prove best of the three-year-old contingent having won in fine style from 6lb lower at Ayr latest.

Up to 1m6f, lightly raced 3yo EL MEGEETH may be able to make her breakthrough. Ex-French Rodoya might have been let in lightly.

Despite shaping with promise on his debut at Redcar a fortnight ago, there were early signs that 7f might be a little on the sharp side for HIGH STORM. With that in mind, it is no surprise that Karl Burke opts to go up in trip with the son of Nathaniel, who can progress to score at the second time of asking. Wise Prince and Glory Road could figure along with Hatteen, who wasn't disgraced at Sandown, despite finishing last of three.

Karl Burke may well register yet another 2yo win, this time with HIGH STORM who looked a good prospect when third on his debut.

Dunkeld Dreamer has progressed well in nurseries, going up 18lb since her first victory at Beverley in July. Her most recent effort may well have come too quickly when runner-up at Wolverhampton, but she might be vulnerable to a less-exposed rival in the shape of SEA THE POWER. Adrian Keatley's colt got off the mark at Ayr on his third start and appears likely to benefit from stepping up in trip. Stoneacre Donny (first) got the better of Sovereign Wealth (third) in the final strides at Thirsk but the latter has every chance of turning the tables, especially as he was probably in front too soon on that occasion.

The pick in an interesting field may well be SEA THE POWER whose rider made plenty of use of him when they made all over 1m at Ayr.

ULTRASOUL delivered the goods when presented with a simple task at Kempton at the start of last month and the son of Kingman is expected to have more to offer back in handicap company. Last year's hero Desperate Dan is 10lb higher, but arrives in winning form and will appreciate conditions. He has to enter the reckoning, while others for the shortlist include Saytarr and Good Heavens.

The 2024 winner Desperate Dan is set for a strong defence but GOOD HEAVENS (nap) remains on a good mark. Navagio is third best.

SEREN STAR was unable to land a blow when ridden patiently at York last time, having arrived in search of a hat-trick. The combination of a drop in trip along with a return to more positive tactics may see her in a much better light. Sheriff's Court's last run on turf saw him score at Carlisle in July and he is respected off just 3lb higher, while Sea Poetry is of interest stepping back up in distance.

Lots with chances but it could pay to side with soft-ground scorer MILETUS to capitalise on a reduced mark now he has conditions to suit

Stormy Monday continued on his upward trajectory when completing a double at Doncaster and another bold bid is forecast. However, a 5lb higher mark does require more and it could be worth chancing handicap debutant SUZETTE DEFOYE. The Crisfords' filly is entitled to build on her fifth-placed reappearance at Newmarket in August and an opening mark of 79 looks workable. Tipsy Tiger and King Al are feasible alternatives.

This could be seriously competitive but GHOST STORY gets the vote ahead of Stormy Monday.

Having filled the runner-up spot at Bath and Ffos Las last month, compensation could be on the cards for UP THE ANTI. The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor looks ready for a return to 6f and she edges the vote over Shark Two One. Jessica Macey's gelding has held his form well this campaign and another good account is forecast. Vault Of Heaven's mark continues to fall and he could make his presence felt too.

The suggestion is UP THE ANTI, who has begun well for Tony Carroll and whose extra stamina could prove beneficial at the business end.

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.
