GEELONG has been running well in defeat recently, emphasised when finishing a one-length fourth at Bath nine days ago. Eased 1lb in the ratings following that performance, the son of Australia has become attractively handicapped judged on past exploits and he might be ready to take advantage. Handicap debutant Socialist Agenda must enter calculations, while first-time blinkers could spark an improved performance from Buford.

Not a strong race and GEELONG can gain a deserved second success back on AW after a run of good efforts. Fairly useful hurdler Socialist Agenda is very interesting now handicapping in this sphere. Pyrrhic Dancer should be in the mix for the places.

Buford (second choice) has claims but GEELONG has found his level now and can break a losing run back at the scene of his sole win.

HARAPPAN shaped with significant promise at Newcastle on his debut, where he travelled smoothly into contention. The three-year-old didn't have the pace to match the front two, but he looks certain to benefit from a step up in trip and is taken to strike at the second time of asking. Swift Hawk is the main danger, while market support for the Nicky Henderson-trained Royal Max would be interesting.

Hard to look beyond HARAPPAN who outran his odds on debut at Newcastle and looks open to improvement after a quick trainer change. Swift Hawk is next best on form but more exposed. while Nicky Henderson's Royal Max has shown a bit over hurdles and can't be discounted on Flat debut, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.

Picked up for 150,000gns after a promising debut in June, HARAPPAN can get off the mark at the main expense of Royal Max.

MC LOVEN left the form of his debut behind when only narrowly denied at Lingfield nine days ago, and any further improvement can see the Harry Angel colt shed his maiden tag here. Miss Woo Woo, who finished third in that same contest, might improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces, while Pressure's On and Fly Pass complete the shortlist.

MC LOVEN stands out on form and is easily the most likely winner. Miss Woo Woo and Fly Pass can fight it out for minor honours.

The vote goes to MC LOVEN who was only just caught on turf at Lingfield last time and could well step forward again.

Cuban Grey attempted to make all over C&D on his latest outing, but he was denied by just under a length. He is likely to remain competitive off the same mark, though preference is for DOCTOR MOZART, who failed to fire on turf at Chepstow but now makes his return to the all-weather and could prove tough to beat. Tarbet would be of interest if the market spoke in her favour on her handicap bow.

MOULIN BOOJ gave an excellent account of himself fitted with a hood at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and from the same mark with a top apprentice booked he could be the way to go. Cuban Grey and Unlimited Data are a couple of potential threats.

The vote goes to VICTORS DREAM, who's well up to winning off this mark when things fall his way. Moulin Booj is next best.

VOLTAIC got up in the final strides to score at Salisbury over a mile last time and he is asked to carry 4lb extra for that success, which may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Mudlahhim is up 4lb for his recent win over C&D and is likely to be on the premises once more, while Secret Joy is much less exposed than most of these and could also get involved.

MOSTALLIM escapes a penalty for his comfortable success at Chelmsford so will be hard to beat. Penalised-winners Mudlahhim and Voltaic can follow him home.

Preference is for MUDLAHHIM who ended a lengthy losing run over C&D ten days ago. He is 3lb higher, but still well treated on old form.

WELOOF (third) finished half a length behind Give A Little Back (second) last time at Kempton when short of room in the closing stages, and the nine-year-old is 1lb better off with that rival this time around. He's taken to reverse the form and go very close. Perfect Gentleman's performance last time could be upgraded after he lost many lengths at the start and, sporting first-time cheekpieces, he's another to note.

The step up in trip promises to suit PEARLY STAR, so she's taken to resume progress/winning ways. Fellow 3-y-o Perfect Gentleman isn't one to place complete trust in given his slow starts, but he arrives in good heart and has to be respected, along with Give A Little Back, who returned to his best at Kempton last month.

Preference is for GIVE A LITTLE BACK whose sole win came over further on this track. He was only just beaten over 1m last time.

HOOFLEPUFF returned from a 79-day break to fill the runner-up spot over C&D at the end of June, which showed he is still in great heart. The seven-year-old looks to have been found another good opportunity off the same mark. Royal Dream makes his return to the all-weather, where he was last seen scoring at Lingfield off 3lb lower, while Eagle Eyed Tom is one to watch in the market.

CIOTOG usually runs well here, so he's worth taking a chance on from a reduced mark. The in-form Hooflepuff is a danger and Snooze Lane should be back on his game.

The vote goes to HOOFLEPUFF (nap) who ran well after a break to finish second over C&D last time. All nine of his wins have come here.

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.
