Many of these need to improve on what they've shown recently, so a chance can be taken on TRADESMAN. David Simcock's charge finished down the field in a trio of novice events last year, but it would be no surprise were the son of Mastercraftsman to take a step forward now switched to handicaps from a potentially workable mark. Habanero Star and Raqisa can battle it out for the minor money.

DAARIS has yet to win a race but this lightly-raced 4-y-o still appeals as having a bigger performance in him, particularly away from soft ground and with cheekpieces fitted for the first time, he could be the way to go. Habanero Star and Raqisa head the opposition.

Preference is for ALPHA KING, who goes well fresh and is 6lb lower than when winning here last June. Watch Tradesman in the market.

MOONLIT CLOUD sprung a minor shock when winning at Nottingham 12 days ago, an effort for which she was subsequently raised 2lb in the ratings. The daughter of Sea The Moon seems versatile regarding ground conditions and she may be able to go in again. Flower Of Thunder already has three C&D victories on her CV and must be of interest back here, while Delphi Dreamer is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of his handicap bow.

MOONLIT CLOUD had more in hand than the margin suggests at Nottingham so can defy a 2 lb rise. At Liberty looks ready to strike soon so is feared most ahead of Cavalluccio.

Jean Danjou has potential but HOTSPUR HARRY (nap) looks the most solid option, back up to his optimum trip off his lower turf mark.

With little form in the book, the market is likely to reveal some clues, but preference is for STATE OF DESIRE. Charlie Appleby was just touched off in this race last year, but his representative, a well-bred son of the imperious Frankel, appears to hold all the correct attributes to see him go one better. Mart and El Bodon make plenty of appeal on paper and both must be considered, while American Tale looks the pick of those with experience.

This is likely to be dominated by the newcomers with expensive Frankel yearling STATE OF DESIRE the obvious one on paper. Mart is bred to be sharp, while Khamsin proved popular at the Breeze-Ups.

Some interesting newcomers in here, headed by 400,000gns yearling STATE OF DESIRE and the well-related Mart.

A costly purchase from the recent Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Ups, JIWIN could be primed to strike on debut for an in-form yard, which has unleashed some smart two-year-olds at this track in recent years. Similar comments apply to newcomer Mantra, with William Buick booked for the ride, while Zoumoon is another to note for the shrewd James Ferguson stable. Of those who have racecourse experience, Phoenix Duchess stands out after a somewhat promising debut at Newmarket.

No surprise were newcomers to come to the fore here, with JIWIN, who presumably breezed well given her sales prices shot up, just about the pick representing the Gosden team. Mantra has the services of William Buick and she's a likely type, along with Mirroring.

The Gosden's first 2yo runner of 2023, JIWIN, is a likely type. Mantra is perhaps most interesting of George Boughey's trio.

Narrowly denied at Catterick last time out, PURPLE REIGN must hold every chance if building on that effort, and the step up in trip should aid his cause. Ed Dunlop's charge has dropped 1lb below his last winning mark and he is fancied to see off the likes of Testing Faith and Smokey Malone, who has strong claims on his penultimate success at Southwell.

TESTING FAITH is a long-standing maiden but this looks his ideal trip and with William Buick taking over, this would be his chance to open his account. Purple Reign is more reliable than most at this level, with Smokey Malone another to consider.

Purple Reign and Testing Faith are a combined 1-30 and worth taking on with bumper winner VIENNA GIRL, who had excuses latest.

The value may lie with THE SPOTLIGHT KID, whose two career wins came over C&D last year and his recent effort at Kempton should have put him spot on for this assignment. The hat-trick seeking Dark Side Thunder arrives in excellent form from the all-weather, while Covert Mission is another key player despite having never won on turf. Sharvara and Thapa VC can also have a say in proceedings.

THE SPOTLIGHT KID defends an unbeaten C&D record and with an AW run minus headgear 3 weeks ago likely to put him spot on for this, he has a lot to recommend him. Dark Side Thunder is a big threat if he's as effective on turf, along with Covert Mission.

The Spotlight Kid is 2-2 on turf, both over C&D, but a chance is taken on SECRET STRENGTH, who's fairly treated now.

Waleyfa merits plenty of respect given her recent all-weather victories but her turf form is not as strong and that has to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for GIRL INTHE PICTURE, who is only 1lb above her last winning mark and should improve for her recent seasonal return. Others to note are Thomas Equinas and Anglo Saxson.

The thriving WALEYFA had more in hand than the margin suggests when scoring at Wolverhampton 12 days ago so looks up to completing the hat-trick. Thomas Equinas is next best ahead of Mudlahhim.

The mare WALEYFA has won three times on the AW since joining Alice Haynes and is worth another chance on turf.

BRILLIANT BLUE seemed to have benefitted from a wind operation when second over a mile at Brighton earlier in the month, and he could take some stopping off the same mark here. The consistent Spanish Mane also hit the crossbar on her most recent outing and she could prove to be the main danger. That said, Chagall and Revolutionary Man should not be underestimated.

It could be worth chancing FREE STEP, who starts out for a new yard on a potentially handy mark. Brilliant Blue is feared most with Buick an eye-catching booking, with Spanish Mane best of the others.

This revolves around REVOLUTIONARY MAN, who's 10lb lower than when winning on the AW last time. Brilliant Blue is next best.

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.
