Archie Watson and Brodie Hampson teamed up to win this last year and will look to follow up with Sir Joseph Swan, but a place may be the best he can hope for in this field. Dereham is a C&D winner who stays even further and he can go close after winning a better race at Newmarket in June, but DAARIS is the pick. Kevin Frost's gelding won easily over this trip at Nottingham in July and may do the same, despite an additional 6lb from the handicapper.

DAARIS reacted positively to blinkers at Nottingham last time and might be up to defying a rise in the weights if the headgear works as well a second time. It's probably only a matter of time before Sir Joseph Swan clicks for the Archie Watson yard and he's second choice ahead of last-time-out Newmarket scorer Dereham.

Daaris is respected after an easy win last month but DEREHAM (nap), an in-form C&D winner, looks a better option.

With very little form to go on, DUBAI TREASURE stands out after the daughter of Exceed And Excel was a promising second at Newmarket on her debut. The winner had an experience edge that day and has won again since to frank the form, and any improvement may see her get off the mark. Queen's Guard was sent off favourite on her Doncaster debut before weakening into fourth and she may do better now, while Urban Love looks an interesting newcomer.

DUBAI TREASURE's debut second is working out extremely well and she's likely to improve from it, so she's an obvious choice to open her account at the second attempt. Fariha makes plenty of appeal on paper and Run For The Sun is another notable newcomer considering how much her price rose from foal to 2yo.

Queen's Guard can step up on her debut form but DUBAI TREASURE ran well in a hot Newmarket maiden on debut and can go one better.

Emperor's Clothes is hard to ignore after placing on both of his starts to date but he has to give 5lb to SINDRI, which may make the difference. Fourth at Kempton on her debut, she set the pace that day before weakening late on and Michael Bell's filly should be suited by this drop in trip. Between The Covers is another to consider after her Lingfield third and she could also mount a challenge.

SINDRI made a promising start when fourth at Kempton and Michael Bell's New Approach filly is fancied to build on it and go in at the chief expense of Owners Dream, who is taken to bounce back from a below-par Doncaster handicap run now returned to maiden company. Emperor's Clothes can't be discounted either on the back of his good Wolverhampton second.

Unexposed fillies Between The Covers and SINDRI may fight this out and the selection is open to plenty of improvement.

In a moderate contest, it might pay to focus on the pair of unexposed three-year-olds Hourless and FLAMMABLE, of whom the latter is preferred. She kept on well to finish within five lengths of the principals over 1m2f at Bath a fortnight ago, suggesting a further step up in trip could suit, and the addition of first-time cheekpieces can eke out more progression. Lailah appeals most of the remainder.

HOURLESS is a very interesting runner at this level based on his winning juvenile form over hurdles, and in receipt of weight from most, he has a lot going for him. Fellow 3-y-o Flammable has headgear on for the first time and is a threat, along with Lailah.

The 3yos Flammable and HOURLESS look capable of better and the selection looks the safer option.

Mick Appleby often does well with his new recruits and that trend could continue with RAZZAM. The gelded son of Showcasing hit the frame on his final start for Roger Varian, where he was too keen over 6f. If the drop in trip sees him in a better light, the unexposed three-year-old could get back on track. Amor De Mi Vida and Harry With Style must enter calculations, while market support for the Chelsea Banham-trained Munificent would bring him into the reckoning.

CABEZA DE LLAVE left his reappearance run well behind when second at Sandown a fortnight ago and from the same mark a bold bid to go one place better looks assured. Mick's Spirit and Razzam (starting out for a new yard) head the opposition.

Cabeza De Llave ran well last time but HARRY WITH STYLE is on the up and he may be able to register his third win of the campaign.

TAMMANY HALL made a promising start for the Phil McEntee team when narrowly denied at Lingfield four days ago. He has become extremely well treated judged on past exploits and this looks a good opportunity to go one better. Bomb Squad ought to appreciate the drop back from seven furlongs and he ranks highly in this field, while Enchanted Night should also be thereabouts.

TAMMANY HALL made a promising start for this yard when just denied at Lingfield on Saturday and has obvious claims off the same mark. Fantasy Navigator and Bomb Squad are feared most.

Bomb Squad should be in the thick of it but GATWICK KITTEN gets the nod back down in grade.

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.
