Beautiful Crown made it two from two for the Jack Jones team when winning at Chepstow recently and he is of clear interest despite being raised 5lb in the handicap, but MARSH BENHAM shades preference. The son of Galileo Gold was no match for an unexposed rival at Lingfield on Tuesday, but that did at least signal a return to form. With leading amateur Simon Walker aboard, he ought to hold every chance should this race not come too soon. Others to note include Voltaic and Cervetto.

BEAUTIFUL CROWN hasn't looked back since joining Jack Jones and is fancied to make it 3-3 for the yard off a still workable mark. The reliable Cervetto could emerge as the main threat, especially if the fitting of cheekpieces ekes out a bit more improvement. Dakota Power, Vellner and Voltaic are all worthy of respect too.

Having won both starts for Jack Jones, the rejuvenated BEAUTIFUL CROWN is taken to complete a hat-trick. Voltaic is a danger.

AESTERIUS finished a creditable fifth in the Norfolk Stakes last month and a reproduction of that performance will make him a tough nut to crack. The Actor and Zminiature both contested the Coventry last time and must enter calculations now eased in grade, while It Ain't Two performed well in defeat in the Empress Stakes at Newmarket last weekend and is another to bear in mind.

The obvious one is AESTERIUS, who shaped well when beaten 1¼ lengths in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot 2 weeks ago. The Actor, who is better than he was able to show in the Coventry, is next best, ahead of It Ain't Two.

Close Norfolk fifth Aesterius is a key player but preference is for THE ACTOR, who wasn't seen to best effect in the Coventry.

The vote goes to EQUILATERAL, who has been used to competing at a much higher level over the years. Charlie Hills' nine-year-old is three from three in handicaps, though, and can be expected to mount another stern challenge from 1lb below his last winning mark. Dream Composer landed the Dash at Epsom under Joe Leavy last month and a subsequent 5lb rise might not be beyond him. Tees Spirit has plenty of early speed so he'll be a threat to all if allowed too much rope at the head of affairs.

DREAM COMPOSER is taken to defy a 5 lb rise for Epsom and win this for the second year running. Equilateral showed what a class act he is in handicap company at York last summer and is second choice ahead of last Friday's Gosforth Park Cup third Navello.

Preference is for DREAM COMPOSER who won at Epsom last time and remains 2lb lower than when landing this race last year.

ANNO DOMINI quickened like a smart type when scoring a shade cosily on his racecourse bow at Newbury last month. Charlie Appleby's colt should have learned plenty from that initial experience and he looks more than capable of defying a 5lb penalty. Aegean Sea also offered plenty of encouragement on his third-placed debut over C&D in June and the son of Kingman is feared most. Any market support for newcomers Pantile Warrior and Angel Hunter would be interesting.

ANNO DOMINI won more impressively than the final margin suggests when justifying market confidence at Newbury on debut 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat under a penalty. Aegean Sea and Windlord both made promising starts when hitting the frame in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago so are feared most.

Godolphin colt ANNO DOMINI did it nicely at Newbury and is taken to defy a 5lb penalty and make it 2-2.

Having finished in third behind subsequent French Group 1 winner Dubai Honour on his reappearance at Kempton in April, it's too early to be writing LION'S PRIDE off. There appears nothing of that calibre in this contest and the Gosdens' colt makes the most appeal. Savvy Victory looked close to his best judged on last month's fourth in the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot. The five-year-old is entitled to build on that seasonal bow and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Al Mubhir.

LION'S PRIDE sets the standard and there was nothing wrong with his third at Kempton on return 3 months ago, so he's the one to beat having likely been well prepared for this. Al Mubhir is a danger after shaping well in handicap company and Checkandchallenge isn't without hope.

On the back of such good runs in strong Listed races and with the promise of more to come, LION'S PRIDE (nap) is readly preferred.

TRUESHAN has yet to rediscover the form he showed when winning the Prix du Cadran last September, but his most recent effort over C&D wasn't without promise and this represents another drop in grade. The ground may not be ideal for Alan King's stalwart but he may have too much for last year's Goodwood Cup winner Quickthorn, who never landed a blow on his return at Ascot in May. In-form jockey James Doyle looks to be an eye-catching booking aboard Irish raider Run For Oscar, who produced another creditable placed effort in the Queen Alexandra Stakes.

QUICKTHORN has an underwhelming return to put behind him but there's no obvious pressure for the lead and, if he's able to build up an early advantage, he's going to be tough to peg back. Trueshan is the obvious threat dropping back in grade and Night Sparkle is of interest trying this distance for the first time.

The mare NIGHT SPARKLE kept on well for second in a 1m6f Group 3 at York in May and earns the vote in view of that staying promise.

A major improver since being stepped up in trip this season, COCK AND BULL deservedly gained a second career victory when getting on top late to score over C&D last time out. A 3lb rise looks manageable and he can get the better of the in-form Taritino, who arrives on a four-timer, and Whispering Royal (third), who has over four lengths to make up on Joe Tickle's charge from their meeting at Bath last month. Almudena and Love Safari are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

LOVE SAFARI went down narrowly upped to this trip in a 3-y-o handicap at Doncaster last week and has a good chance if in the same sort of form with William Buick up. Taritino won't go down lightly in his bid for a 4-timer, while Cock And Bull can go well again.

Top of the list is LOVE SAFARI who runs off the same mark as for his short-head defeat at Doncaster last Friday.

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.
