Rumstar is respected but picks up a 3lb penalty for his Group 3 Palace House win at Newmarket in May. He might struggle to uphold the form with the runner-up in that race, She's Quality, on the revised terms. The latter was also a close second in the Temple Stakes at Haydock most recently and should again be a key player. However, KERDOS could trump them both. Having unseated Christophe Soumillon and got loose on the way to the start in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot, his fifth-place finish can be upgraded and it's highly notable this is his only booking for the day. Palace Of Holyroodhouse winner Adrestia is the pick of the remainder.

Adrestia has her best days ahead of her but KERDOS (nap) ran a fine race at Royal Ascot and can take the drop in class in his stride

With very few of these noted for making the running, this looks a tricky race to fathom. However, TREASURE TIME is versatile on that score and could be one that can adapts best as events unfold. William Haggas is a past master at getting one ready for their seasonal debut and having missed the cut for a couple of handicaps at Royal Ascot, it is notable the Newmarket handler pitches the four-year-old at a race he has won twice in recent times. The in-form Classic Encounter is another with solid credentials on the back of two wins and two place efforts from his last four starts. Mirsky and Classic are also shortlisted.

Treasure Time may do better again as a 4yo but he hasn't been seen for ten months so preference this time is for GREEK ORDER.

BLUE BOLT is a filly on the upgrade and her two wins in novice stakes could be just the start of a highly interesting campaign. The daughter of Blue Point holds an entry in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September and can enhance her credentials by taking this step up in class in her stride. Cajole's second-placed finish in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot is a solid piece of form that makes her the chief danger to the selection. The unbeaten pair Victory Queen and Suite Francaise are other intriguing options.

Having impressed in novice races at Windsor and Newbury on her last two starts, BLUE BOLT can complete a hat-trick now up in grade.

OMBUDSMAN left his comeback run well behind when running away with the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot 17 days ago, making it five wins from six career outings to date. It's easy to see why Godolphin's improving four-year-old has been all the rage with the bookmakers in the build-up to today's contest and he's fancied to land the spoils. Any rainfall would boost the chances of Sosie, who arrives following a couple of Group 1 victories in his native France. Delacroix could fare best of Aidan O'Brien's duo, while Ruling Court is an interesting player stretching out in trip.

The Ballydoyle 3yos have strong credentials but the 4yos hold the upper hand on form, particularly OMBUDSMAN who sets a tall standard.

City Of Poets has impressively notched a maiden/novice stakes double and he warrants plenty of respect on handicap debut with Ryan Moore booked to ride, but DANCE IN THE STORM shades the verdict. The first-time hood (worn today) certainly did no harm when she fairly bolted up on her handicap bow over C&D three weeks ago and a subsequent 7lb rise in the ratings is fair. Gilet and Mudbir both cut back a furlong following pleasing enough efforts, particularly the former at Newbury, and they complete the shortlist.

With the hood retained, DANCE IN THE STORM is taken to complete a C&D double. Mudbir and City Of Poets are interesting.

Dissident produced a better effort to make the frame at Windsor last month and he has to be respected off an opening mark of 81. Keble Spirit struck on his first start in a handicap and could have more to offer over this distance, but YABHER looks the way to go. William Haggas' charge finished just over four lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork at Redcar last month and now has Tom Marquand back on board. He makes just his fourth handicap outing and may take a step forward to strike.

Plenty have chances. YABHER impressed in how he challenged from off the pace (and wide) when finishing a clear second at Redcar.

BEST ADVENTURE showed a big chunk of improvement in a first-time tongue-tie to readily take care of his eight rivals over C&D last month. The son of Frankel may have been let off lightly with only a 6lb rise for that performance and he could prove tough to beat. Top-weight Arabian Light is respected based on his third at Newmarket two starts ago and a repeat of that display would see him in the mix. Nebras is another to keep an eye on.

A few of these have something to prove but BEST ADVENTURE has won both his 1m2f starts and did it easily over C&D last time out.

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.
