There was a good word for CELEBORN prior to his Leicester introduction and he duly obliged. He was withdrawn at the start at Doncaster on his next intended appearance and has since been gelded in an attempt to hopefully harness his true potential. Archie's Angel made a successful debut of his own at Haydock, while Square D'alboni took a big step forward to break through at Epsom and Way Of Stars was only just denied at Goodwood.

Several interesting types in opposition with WAY OF STARS narrowly selected to come out on top. Having been strong in the betting, he showed plenty to work on and was beaten only by a fellow promising newcomer who was delivered later at Goodwood 19 days ago, and he looks sure to build on that effort. Square D'alboni, Celeborn and Archie's Angel all tasted success on their latest outings respectively and head up the dangers.

Preference is for CELEBORN who was all over the place on his Leicester debut in June, but still proved good enough to win.

Betty Clover's Listed triumph and narrow defeat at the hands of Simmering in the Princess Margaret help her set a fine standard, but she comes up against some exciting once-raced winners. TABITI never looked like letting favourite-backers down on debut, showing plenty of pace over 7f, and she is just preferred to Jewelry, who was almost as impressive at Newbury. There was no fluke about Greydreambeliever's York victory, while Magic Mild deserves a crack at this sort of prize.

GREYDREAMBELIEVER looked a good prospect when scoring on debut at York and could be the way to go over fellow unbeaten fillies Tabiti and Jewelry.

Preference is for TABITI who was impressive when winning at Newmarket last month. She can defy the drop in trip.

Richard Hannon has won two of the last three renewals and can enjoy further success courtesy of KAIYA, who showed more signs of life at Newbury and steps back up to a potentially more suitable distance for her nursery bow. Wathbah is best judged on her first three efforts rather than her struggle in a good Newmarket nursery. Gold Medallist has experience on his side and cheekpieces go on, with headgear also applied to Tiempo Alegre for the first time.

UP THE PACE caught the eye when a tenderly-handled Kempton fifth last time out so is fancied to take a sizeable step forward now going handicapping and get off the mark. Both Tiempo Alegre and Kaiya also appeal as likely improvers on their respective nursery debuts and can chase home the selection in that order.

The choice is KAIYA who revealed her first signs of ability at Newbury last time and could step up again on nursery debut.

Jowddah made a promising start when runner-up at Newmarket having shown signs of inexperience and Roger Varian's filly is expected to go well. That said, she faces a very interesting newcomer in the shape of SANDTRAP, a 450,000gns purchase whose full-brother recently became a Grade 1 winner in the US. The daughter of Lope De Vega gets the vote, while the extra furlong may bring about improvement from Bowerchalke on her second outing.

Roger Varian's JOWDDAH made an encouraging start to her career at Newmarket and should prove a tough nut to crack unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomers Sandtrap and/or Take A Breath.

Newmarket runner-up JOWDDAH is unlikely to remain a maiden for much longer and is taken to put her experience to good use.

VALVANO has been gelded since chasing home 2000 Guineas hero Notable Speech at Kempton in April and the step up to 1m2f, combined with some cut in the ground, is likely to see him prove too good for these rivals. Military Academy's debut success at Hamilton was boosted with the runner-up landing a valuable handicap at Ascot last weekend and he remains a colt with plenty of potential. Others to note include King Chaos and At No Time.

MILITARY ACADEMY was impressive when making a winning debut at Hamilton three weeks ago and the runner-up (who was giving him weight) that day has since bolted up in a handicap off 86, so he's well worth a chance to follow up for all that Valvano also looks potentially smart. At No Time is a notable newcomer.

Military Academy left a big impression on his recent debut but VALVANO, absent since April, may be good enough to thwart him.

This appears to represent a fine opportunity for QUICKTHORN to record his first victory since the 2023 Goodwood Cup. The seven-year-old is expected to revert to his old front-running tactics and take advantage of an ideal confidence booster. Drawn To Dream should appreciate underfoot conditions based on her German form which includes a Listed success over 2m4f. Salsada rates best of the remainder on her first Flat appearance in over two years.

None of this quintet arrive in form but QUICKTHORN wasn't disgraced last time and should be hard to pass if he can build up a lead. Sumo Sam may contest the pace and is closely matched with the selection at the weights, while Drawn To Dream is no forlorn hope if able to bounce back.

They have not been able to show it this year but the class acts in this field are QUICKTHORN and Sumo Sam. The latter ran yesterday.

A winner of two of his last three starts, and runner-up in a contest at Newmarket last time which has worked out well, STRIKE sets the standard on form and he can notch up a fifth career success for his in-form connections. A progressive sort earlier this year, Tiriac remains on a workable mark and is likely to figure, along with Newbury second Capote's Dream and Bishop's Crown.

CAPOTE'S DREAM looks primed for a bold showing on the back of his eye-catching Newbury second so edges the verdict in this very open handicap. Tiriac didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Goodwood last time and could emerge as the chief rival to Tom Ward's 7-y-o ahead of in-form duo Strike and Bishop's Crown. Ray Vonn completes the shortlist.

Tiriac will be hard to beat on slow ground but the drying forecast tips the scales in favour of CAPOTE'S DREAM (nap).

GLITTERELLA may still be a maiden through seven starts, but she ran arguably a career best when narrowly denied at Bath over 5f last month, and stepping back up in trip should suit with Rossa Ryan taking over in the saddle. A progressive sort last year, Art Fantastique is of interest on his return from a long absence, while Unico looks capable of building on a solid effort at Lingfield latest.

GLITTERELLA seems to be getting her act together now and can gain compensation for last month's Bath near miss. The way that Port Hedland finished off last time suggest that he'll be suited by this return to 6f and he's second choice ahead of Chris Gordon's Unico.

Unico is weighted to win again but PORT HEDLAND can fulfil his earlier promise and get off the mark.

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.
