Fillyfudge is a C&D winner who ran with credit when second over hurdles at Stratford last time and remains on a workable mark on the Flat. However, French recruit EXQUISEMENT is making her first start for the Michael Keady yard and is by far the most interesting runner in this contest. The four-year-old filly finished third in a handicap at Amiens two starts ago and can make an immediate impression on these shores. Jungle Cruise is another to consider.

Dual C&D winner FILLYFUDGE faces her ideal conditions back in the visor, although support for Exquisement would look significant.

Gigi Bliss has failed to show a great deal in her three runs in novice/maiden company, but could prove a different proposition up in trip on her handicap bow. Even so, TELECOMMUNICATION looks the way to go. Michael Bell's gelding was a disappointing favourite when fourth at Wolverhampton, but that was still a respectable effort and he could make amends off an unchanged mark. Antelope is another to keep an eye on.

The suggestion is HIBERNATE, who looked to be going the right way on his handicap debut and may be capable of getting off the mark.

VERSE OF LOVE made a strong impression with her debut success at Newmarket and much was expected on her return when favourite for the Nell Gwyn, but she couldn't land a blow and finished only seventh. Charlie Appleby's filly became unbalanced after being way too keen, so it would be no surprise to see her bounce back. Chiringita found one too good at Southwell when last seen and could improve with a winter under her belt. The Third Star completes the shortlist.

The well-entered VERSE OF LOVE is into calmer waters this afternoon and fancied to get back on track. Chiringita is feared most.

Narrowly denied on debut in the Wood Ditton, SPY KINGDOM sets a lofty standard and he should be able to go one better for his in-form stable. Roman Centurion improved from his first to his second start when runner-up over 7f here last October and he is a key player, as is newcomer Influential, who hails from a family that Roger Varian knows well. Desert Heart is another open to improvement for last year's winning trainer.

After he belied his starting price by going very close on debut, SPY KINGDOM is taken to go one better.

MR SWIVELL was beaten just half a length into second on his debut for a new yard at Chelmsford and he looks well capable of notching up a third career success. That may be at the main expense of Kingdom Of Time, who has been runner-up on three of his last four starts but has yet to break the maiden. The hat-trick seeking Bass Player and Royal Velvet may also have a say in proceedings.

Leading candidates Kingdom Of Time and MR SWIVELL (nap) are both straightforward prominent-racers, with the latter preferred.

She's The Duchess lost little in defeat when touched off at Pontefract last month and a mark of 79 is workable on her handicap bow. However, STELLENBOSCH's reappearance second at Newmarket looks slightly stronger form and Richard Hannon's filly edges the call. All-weather winner Jowddah has done little wrong in four appearances to date and she must enter calculations, along with the returning Saariselka.

Several hold claims but STELLENBOSCH looks well treated based on her reappearance effort at Newmarket and is taken to break her duck.

TRIPLE DOUBLE A won going away on his handicap bow at Redcar and he's likely to prove a warm order to follow up. A 6lb penalty probably won't take Hugo Palmer's gelding to the ceiling of his ability and there should be more to come. Faye Bramley is already making a name for herself so Pay Attention warrants respect after a promising fourth over C&D last month. The down-in-class Mini Mac completes the shortlist.

This looks all about TRIPLE DOUBLE A, who won with something in hand at Redcar and has been found the ideal race under a penalty.

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.

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.
