Picked up for 30,000gns by shrewd operation The Horse Watchers, HOSTILITY is fancied to break his maiden on this UK debut. The No Nay Never gelding, who boasts an official rating of 82, posted a number of promising efforts when trained in Ireland and should prove hard to beat if running to form. Monsieur Bondy shaped with promise on his racecourse bow at Doncaster last month and must enter calculations, as must sole filly Apple Catcher, who represents a yard that have had another fine season with their newcomers.

This looks a golden opportunity for HOSTILITY to make a winning start for new connections. Monsieur Bondy is best of the rest.

Tim Easterby has landed the two previous renewals of this contest and he could complete a hat-trick courtesy of TOOTSIE. The daughter of Footstepsinthesand has found steady improvement of late and any further progress may well suffice in what looks a moderate event. Tiger Tower is bred to appreciate this longer trip and an opening mark of 50 looks fair, while similar comments apply to Ribchester gelding Ribston Pippin.

Tootsie is a solid candidate but TIGER TOWER represents a stable in form and should be suited by today's step up in distance.

Back from a short absence following wind surgery, ZOU'S YOUR DADDY kept on best of all to score over 7f here last month. George Scott's charge faces a stiffer assignment now sent handicapping, but there should be more to come, especially now upped to the mile. Eeetee was never involved at Pontefract latest but has to be respected having been successful on his last two C&D starts. Paladin is another to consider.

A fine Redcar record makes EEETEE (nap) hard to resist as he bids for a fifth win on this course. Zou's Your Daddy is feared most.

Fluorescence is a previous course winner who was far from disgraced when third in a stronger event at Southwell last month. Although considered, it may pay to side with SUGAR HILL BABE. Lisa Williamson's five-year-old ran with credit to finish fourth at Ascot latest and a 2lb ease in the handicap will do her chances no harm. Frank The Spark sports first-time cheekpieces and is another to consider.

Fluorescence is unexposed but a chance is taken on SPORTS COACH who has twice shaped better than the result suggests of late.

BACK TOMORROW bounced back to form when third in a class 6 handicap at Ayr last month and she has an unblemished record in classified company (2-2). With P J McDonald booked, the five-year-old could be tough to beat. Arlington took the silver medal home at Ripon on his latest outing so it would come as no surprise were he to feature. Mission In Malton is also noted.

The vote goes to BACK TOMORROW who already has three successes to her name this year and can gain a first win over the minimum trip.

WADACRE GIORGIO has occupied the runner-up berth at this level on his last two racecourse appearances and is able to compete from an unchanged mark today. Charlie Johnston's four-year-old looks to have found a suitable opportunity to record a first career success. Arie Gordye made a pleasing start for the Roger Fell team when second in a seller at Beverley last month and she must enter calculations returned to further. Spectacular Style should not be overlooked either.

Wadacre Giorgio had BILLY BATHGATE behind in third at Musselburgh but the latter is a C&D winner who can do better back here.

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.
