ARKHALIA FLYNN was value for more than the winning distance when scoring by a head on his handicap debut over 7f at Haydock recently, running on well under a confident ride to lead in the final strides and, under the same rider off just 3lb higher, he gets the vote to bring up the double. Dangers are aplenty and look to be headed by last-time-out winner Rockymountainway, who has been upped 4lb for a recent Ffos Las success. Daring Legend bounced back to form with a win at Newbury last month and completes the shortlist,

There should be more to come from ARKHALIA FLYNN so a 3 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent him making it 2-2 in handicaps. Fellow last-time out scorers Dutch Kingdom and Daring Legend can give him most to think about.

This can go to the progressive ARKHALIA FLYNN (nap) who won with more in hand at Haydock last time than the head margin would suggest.

MISSION COMMAND stepped forward from his low-key debut when shaping with promise finishing third over 6f at Doncaster last week and, with further improvement likely, he appeals most in this wide-open affair. Outclassed in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot last month, Adrestia must be respected with her sights lowered, while there is plenty to like about Too Sweet's credentials on paper, and she has to be taken seriously first time up.

ADRESTIA shaped with plenty of encouragement at Windsor first time out before facing a stiff task in the Queen Mary so, back down in grade, she's comfortably the most appealing runner. Too Sweet is an interesting debutante having fetched a big sum at the Breeze-Ups and Dutch Finale should improve.

After a promising debut, ADRESTIA wasn't a million miles away in the Queen Mary and she looks the one to be with at this easier level.

The combination of the step back to 6f and the application of a visor saw MERRIMACK run out a decisive winner at Brighton recently and, down to the minimum trip for the first time, the suspicion is that a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor Stuart Williams' charge. Marcus arrives on the back of a couple of admirable efforts in defeat and boasts solid credentials of at least hitting the frame, while Stoneacre Girl is expected to strip fitter after her seasonal reappearance over an extended 5f at Wetherby last month.

If a visor works again MERRIMACK will stand a good chance of overcoming a penalty for last week's Brighton success. Windsor third Marcus may be the one to give the selection most to do ahead of Stoneacre Girl.

The interesting horse is MERRIMACK whose Brighton win eight days ago was never in much doubt.

FINE INTERVIEW showed plenty of promise when chasing home a useful rival on his debut over 6f here last September and the son of Havana Grey merits plenty of respect on his return to action. Get Jiggy With It failed to fire in handicap company last time but is a player based on her previous form, while Pipes And Drums is next best.

PIPES AND DRUMS improved when third at Windsor last time under another considerate ride and, with better still expected, he can get the better of Get Jiggy With It, who has achieved a bit more to this point. Fine Gold also has potential and is worthy of consideration.

Market confidence would be welcomed after his lengthy break but they were good horses that FINE INTERVIEW divided here in September.

Kaolinite is arguably the pick of those with experience, although Masterofgreygoose should not be written off. A chance, though, is taken on ANGEL MAC. The daughter of Zoffany is related to a couple of useful types and, with both trainer and jockey amongst the winners of late, it would come as no surprise were she to play a leading role. The Eyes Have It and Ya Rayah are other debutants to monitor in the betting.

ANGEL MAC is bred to be useful and likely to know her job well enough, so she's worth a chance to make a winning start at the possible expense of Kaolinite, who should still have more to offer. The Eyes Have It is another notable newcomer in a thin maiden.

Those to have run don't set a daunting standard and ANGEL MAC can win on debut. Her stable had a 3yo go in first time here last month.

Shield Of Honour can go well reunited with Sean D Bowen, who is proving to be very good value for his 3lb claim, while Trackman and Iconique are a couple of others whose riders enhance their credentials by claiming weight. However, this can go to the versatile SUNSET IN PARIS, who is back on the level with a live chance of adding to a brace of classified stakes successes gained on the all-weather earlier this year.

CLEVER CURRENCY fell heavily over hurdles last time but ran well on his latest Flat outing so, if he's none the worse for that latest incident, he should be tough to beat for a new yard in a very weak event. Iconique could play a part on her second run for Tony Carroll and Trackman can't be ruled out.

A modest contest may go the way of CLEVER CURRENCY who was running well when departing late on a claiming hurdle last time.

Several of these have been banging on the door of late and while the likes of Havana Smoke, Bluebells Boy and Dion Baker can all get competitive, dropping back to 6f could see MOREGINPLEASE supplement her Lingfield success from May. Still potentially well treated despite now running off 8lb higher, the selection has held her form well over 7f of late and this less demanding stamina test could be the right path for further success.

Having scored here in June, BLUEBELLS BOY was left with too much to do last time and he's worth a chance to resume winning ways in a race that should play to his strengths more. Porfin was also successful on his last visit to the track and is in good order, so he's feared most ahead of Fletcher's Flight.

Moreginplease was ahead of FLETCHER'S FLIGHT here last week but the selection can reverse those placings back over 6f.

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.
