TIETE had to be switched for a clear run when second at Newbury on her nursery debut. Harry Charlton's filly looks one to keep on the right side of and is just preferred to Brastias. The latter also ran into plenty of trouble on his handicap bow when fourth at Haydock and will likely be thereabouts at the finish, while Lingfield maiden winner Creative Lady is another to note.

BRASTIAS looked unlucky not to finish closer on his nursery debut at Haydock a fortnight ago, coming home well having not got a clear run, and he could be set to strike under Oisin Murphy. Liberty Bird and Creative Lady, both successful last time out, and Tiete are other leading players.

Unlucky not to give the favourite a tougher time on her nursery debut, TIETE looks the way to go. Brastias rates the main danger.

A half-brother to the high-class sprinter Battaash, AL MISBAR will appreciate the return to this trip having found one too good over 7f at Newmarket and Charlie Appleby's inmate gets another chance. He sports Godolphin's first colours ahead of the penalised novice winner Midnight Thunder, while West Acre also carries a penalty having made a winning debut over the minimum trip at Newcastle.

MIDNIGHT THUNDER has made a very bright start, scoring impressively at Windsor, and can defy a penalty here. West Acre was a ready winner himself first time up at Newcastle and has more to offer. Battaash's half-brother Al Misbar, and Winnebago, who shaped well at Newmarket, complete the shortlist.

Sprinting looks the way forward for AL MISBAR after he didn't quite see out the 7f at Newmarket last time.

GREEN STORM forged clear in the home straight at Kempton last time, but that effort took it's toll as he was headed when hanging left in the closing stages. The son of Circus Maximus will benefit from a more restrained ride and is taken to go one better. Must Believe has plenty to find with the selection on Kempton running, though can still have a say in proceedings, while Phoebus looks a likely improver.

GREEN STORM holds Must Believe on Kempton form and the promising pair can come to the fore upped in trip, with Charlie Johnston's charge taken to come out on top. Flying Fortress should be winning races also.

Some late hanging at Kempton casts a bit of a cloud over GREEN STORM but he comfortably sets the standard and he should stay 1m1f.

WARRIOR'S DANCE comes into this with an interesting profile having been far from disgraced in three qualifying runs over 7f and 1m. Now stepping up in trip sporting cheekpieces for the first time, the son of Lope De Vega gets the vote to gain a breakthrough victory. Silver Gunn did it well when scoring over 1m2f at Newmarket last month and he must enter calculations nudged up 2lb, while fellow last-time-out winner Woodstock City commands respect.

WARRIOR'S DANCE looks capable of much better now handicapping up in trip with headgear fitted and gets the vote. Arazzo remains capable of better, while Roxanne is potentially interesting down in grade if settling better.

Unlucky with the way races unfolded in three handicaps in the summer, SNIPER'S EYE is preferred to dual C&D winner Afloat.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

SUMMER OF LOVE has shown improved form since fitted with a hood (retained) the last twice, most recently running out a comfortable winner over 7f at Epsom. Provided this drop to 6f is of no hinderance to the daughter of Dark Angel, she should prove tough to stop off 3lb higher. Rosy Affair has hit the woodwork on her last two starts and, if the application of a tongue-tie can eke out some improvement, she should go well. Kitai is also of some interest.

There should be more to come from SUMMER OF LOVE and she's taken to strike again down in trip. Rosy Affair continues in top form, shaping best at Newmarket last time, and is a big player. Azure Angel caught the eye at Kempton and could be in the hunt if backing that up returned to turf.

This can go to SUMMER OF LOVE (nap) who has yet to try her luck at sprinting but she'll get a fast pace to chase and that will help.

Thunder Star won this corresponding race off a 1lb higher mark last year and is a notable contender. Fellow course winners Lil Guff and Stone Circle also enter calculations, but GRACE ANGEL has held her form well since returning from wind surgery and, as a likely pace angle, she could be tough to reel in if she is allowed to dictate the fractions.

STONE CIRCLE has slipped to a tempting mark and signalled a return to form when second at Leicester last week. He's a regular here with a good record and could be set to resume winning ways. Grace Angel and last year's winner Thunder Star are a couple of the other likely players.

Stone Circle is well handicapped but THUNDER STAR is fancied to follow up last year's win in this race.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Unbeaten in three starts since rejoining Darryll Holland, another big run can be expected from Bernard Spierpoint. However, this looks deeper than the handicap he won at Brighton and, with that in mind, IT'S SHOWTIME could be the way to go given she is far less exposed on turf and appears to have been found a decent opportunity. Jungle Run is also noted.

BERNARD SPIERPOINT is on a roll and can get the 4-timer up. It's Showtime might be the danger back down in class.

A small field but still competitive. KURIMU wasn't seen to best effect on AW last time and can prove too strong for Jungle Run.

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.
