The consistent FREAK OUT makes the most compelling case in the field and he is fancied to go one better than his second over the extended 1m4f at Musselburgh last time. Gemma Tutty's charge was only just collared late on that occasion and, back over 1m2f - a distance he has already won over twice over this season, he can get his head back in front. Tarbaan runs off the same mark as his one-and-a-half-length defeat when third over 1m2f at Newmarket, and joins Langton Wold on the shortlist.

TARBAAN has been given a chance by the handicapper and signalled a return to form at Newmarket earlier this month. He can land the spoils. Freak Out arrives in top form and is feared most, whilst Val Bassett can also make his presence felt.

SPANISH ROCK made a very pleasing start to his career when third over 6f at Ripon on his racecourse debut and he wouldn't have to improve too much to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Showhound shed his maiden tag in willing fashion over 6f at Ayr last time and he rates as the biggest danger, while Ingleby Archie should also have a part to play.

SPANISH ROCK showed plenty to work on when third in a Ripon novice and the 5 lb he receives from penalised-winner Showhound may prove decisive. Ingleby Archie is another to consider having made a promising start at Beverley.

The vote goes to SPANISH ROCK, who was an eyecatching third behind a useful rival at Ripon and should know much more this time.

This contest seems to revolve around the performance of PROPITIOUS, who appears likely to be very difficult to beat. Archie Watson's two-year-old made a very nice start to her career when scoring easily at the first time of asking over 6f at Chepstow, and another bold bid can be expected. Bulldog Drummond heads the list of dangers from Super Hit, an interesting debutant.

Despite being very green, PROPITIOUS still managed to make a winning debut with plenty to spare at Chepstow (6.1f) 4 weeks ago and, sure to progress, she can make a bold bid to follow up in a race lacking depth. Bulldog Drummond may emerge as the lead threat, while Super Fern and Super Hit are a couple of newcomers to note.

The main form contenders are Chepstow winner PROPITIOUS and Bath third Bulldog Drummond in that order of preference.

This looks like an open contest, where BILLYB gets a tentative vote as he drops down to this grade for the first time since last July, when second at Newmarket off 3lb higher. Spioradalta put in a pleasing display at Glorious Goodwood to finish a very creditable sixth and he could have a say off the same mark. Of the remainder, last-time-out victor Crown Princess makes the most appeal.

LOOK BACK SMILING quickened to score in ready fashion at Leicester earlier in the month and his next outing at Hamilton probably came too soon, so he's well worth another chance. Recent C&D winner Crown Princess is a danger and another solid showing is expected from Copper And Five.

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to CROWN PRINCESS, who got back on the scoresheet with a brave win over C&D two weeks ago.

Can Can Girl hasn't finished out of the top three since joining the Tim Easterby stable and she has to be considered off the same mark as her Newcastle third last time. However, preference is for VISITANT, who struck over C&D last time and is up 7lb for that success, though 5lb is negated by Kieran Schofield's claim. Fairmac goes in a first-time visor, which could eke out improvement.

CAN CAN GIRL has acquitted herself well in all 3 starts for Tim Easterby and should appreciate the return to this longer trip. She gets the nod. Annandale and Our Scholar rate the principal dangers.

STRONG JOHNSON was only denied by a length into third in the Silver Trophy at Ripon last time, which was a hugely encouraging display. If he can turn up in the same form as that off 2lb higher, then he could prove very difficult to beat. The main danger is Crypto Quest, who filled the runner-up spot at Beverley on his latest outing and should have no issue with the step back up in distance. Novak is another to consider.

NOVAK has been in flying form for the bulk of this campaign and Iain Jardine's gelding is fancied to resumed his progress, a recent outing at Ayr likely to have blown some of the cobwebs away. Strong Johnson produced his most promising effort for his current yard at Ripon last week and is very hard to discount, with Herakles also considered after a decent fifth at Beverley last time.

Having done best on his side at Ripon last week the claims of STRONG JOHNSON (nap) are there for all to see in this lower grade.

The in-form See My Baby Jive is an interesting contender from the foot of the handicap, while cases can also be made for Oso Rapido, Mighty Gurkha and Golden Duke. However, NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND, who is back on his last winning mark on turf, appeals most for a speculative play. He can provide a bit of value returning to 6f in what looks to be a wide-open contest.

BLAZING SON is an admirable type with a solid track record, so he's the likeliest winner of a fairly open handicap. Mighty Gurkha should be on the premises again and it would be no surprise if See My Baby Jive returned to form after a slight blip.

Several possibles in an open race but there were more encouraging signs from KALGANOV last week and he might be worth chancing.

One For The Ladies is noted back in a handicap off the same mark as her only previous win outside of classified stakes company, while similar sentiments apply to Basholo, although she is potentially the better treated of the two. Nevertheless, AUTUMNAL BREEZE arrives on the back of a more convincing string of efforts and the three-year-old has a live chance of putting a race like this to bed without too much fuss.

RAINBOW RAIN got the better of a next-time-out winner at Thirsk on his penultimate start and again ran well when runner-up at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago. The return to 6f rates a plus and with his rider taking off a valuable 5 lb, he looks sure to go well again. Birdie Bowers (runner-up 12 months ago) is a threat if shrugging off a lesser run at Southwell 6 days ago. Autumnal Breeze and Wade's Magic complete the shortlist.

This looks wide open but AUTUMNAL BREEZE gets the vote ahead of recent course winner Basholo. Rainbow Rain is third choice.

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.
