FLAVIUS TITUS appeared to win with something in hand in a similar contest at Thirsk last week and could take all the beating if running to a similar level on the switch to Tapeta. Thegreatestshowman posted another fair effort in defeat when runner-up in a handicap at Yarmouth and appears the obvious threat back in a classified event. Wrath Of Hector is often in the mix in this company and also warrants attention.

FLAVIUS TITUS produced his best effort for a while to score in similar company at Thirsk last week and he looks capable of following up, with the in-form pair Thegreatestshowman and Wrath of Hector topping the list of threats.

The choice is FLAVIUS TITUS (nap), who did it well when scoring at Thirsk last time and should take the beating despite the penalty.

HAULFRONHOBBS comes with risks attached after being slowly away and making little impression at Yarmouth in late June. Nevertheless, Chris Dwyer's filly offered enough encouragement when placing at the same venue a couple of weeks prior, and a similar performance could be good enough to land this modest contest. Beast Of Burden arrives as the highest-rated contender and could bounce back to form now returned to 6f, with Hot Scoop making most appeal of the remainder.

Having opened her account at Newcastle in May, BEAST OF BURDEN had excuses when below form at the same course last time (raced on the far flank), so she can bounce back to winning ways as she drops in grade/trip. Haulfronhobbs could also leave a lesser effort behind as she returns from a break, with Coast another to consider if turned out again quickly.

Newcastle's May winner BEAST OF BURDEN drops into a 0-50 for the first time and commands plenty of respect back at this trip.

ANOTHER GIFT justified strong support in the market when winning with authority on her handicap debut at Windsor on Monday. A 6lb penalty doesn't appear enough to stop Ed Dunlop's filly from completing a double and better things are expected. Charlie Mason didn't enjoy the best of passages when runner-up at Beverley on Thursday and looks an obvious threat racing off the same mark. Fly Pass and Out Of Line could battle it out for the remaining place.

ANOTHER GIFT powered away from her rivals when making a successful nursery debut last week, and assuming she's as effective on the AW, the follow up looks on the cards under a penalty. The return to 6f will suit Charlie Mason and he's a threat, while Budding Poet achieved very little in his qualifying runs but has been awarded a basement mark as a result and he's in very capable hands.

This can go to ANOTHER GIFT who bolted up on nursery debut at Windsor six days ago. A 6lb penalty shouldn't be enough to stop her.

POWERFUL RESPONSE is unlucky not to be arriving on the back of a hat-trick, having thrown his race away when wandering around late on and being beaten a neck at Doncaster. Compensation may await, though, and he is narrowly preferred to Pontefract winner Silk Bird and Panning For Gold, who wasn't disgraced at Newmarket when failing in his bid for a four-timer. Ibiza Love, Tamaluk and Yeoman are others to note.

PANNING FOR GOLD wasn't on his game at Newmarket last time but he'd been improving fast in the lead up to that, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways. Silk Bird is a big danger and Powerful Response is unlikely to be far away.

A well-bred daughter of Too Darn Hot, ZENJABEELA shaped with plenty of encouragement when third on debut at Newmarket, and with improvement expected, she can get off the mark. That may be at the main expense of Deep Blue, who herself shaped quiet well on her first outing at Leicester earlier in the month. Madame Christine and newcomer Lumiere D'or must be noted for market support also.

ZENJABEELA produced a promising first effort when third in a Newmarket maiden 5 weeks ago and this looks a good opening for her. Deep Blue shaped like this extra 1f will suit when third at Leicester so is the obvious threat, while Lumiere d'Or is a newcomer to note having proved popular at the Breeze Ups.

SHESADABBER arrives seeking a hat-trick after victories at Bath and Catterick, and this looks like a nice opportunity to continue her winning sequence. David Evans' mare is having her first run on the all-weather since 2021 and is leniently treated compared to her turf figure. Mehmo can also get involved after running on well into third at Thirsk, while Golden Prosperity and Birdie Bowers should also be noted.

SHESADABBER is worth a final opportunity to show she acts on AW as she's able to race off 2lb lower than when scoring at Catterick 12 days ago. Mehmo has a good C&D record and is second choice ahead of Canaria Prince.

In an open race dual C&D winner MEHMO, who has been in good form on turf, is taken to win his fourth race of the year.

QUEENSLAND BOY shed his maiden tag at the sixth time of asking at Windsor and can follow up that success. Ian Williams' charge won more comfortably than the one-length distance would imply and he is fancied to defy a 3lb rise, with 5lb claimer Christian Howarth now on board. Eloped rates as the biggest danger, despite letting down favourite-backers when fifth on her handicap bow over the extended 1m4f at Newcastle. Lough Leane heads the remainder.

This can go to QUEENSLAND BOY, who got on the winning trail at Windsor earlier this month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper. Lough Leane and Eloped look the likeliest dangers.

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.
