SOFIA THE FIRST has improved with each run to date and got up on the line to shed her maiden tag over 7f at Lingfield on her most recent outing. The daughter of New Bay shaped as if this step up in trip would suit and she can make a winning nursery debut. Laplander put his underwhelming performances in novice/maiden company well behind him when hitting the crossbar on his first start in a nursery at Sandown last month and he could go well. Gap Year is the pick of the rest.

Andrew Balding's SOFIA THE FIRST looks to have got in lightly for her first go in handicaps so gets the vote. Gap Year is next on the list on the back of his good Newmarket third ahead of Laplander and Many Men.

Having bumped into a thriving winner when runner-up on last month's nursery debut at Sandown, LAPLANDER is taken to go one better.

Bintjeddah took a big leap forward from her debut effort when scoring by three lengths at Haydock last month and she should mount a bold bid, despite her 7lb penalty. However, the vote goes to STARLIT SPICE, who produced a promising effort to take the silver medal home on her first start at Leicester. The daughter of Sea The Stars is likely to have plenty more to offer and can go one better. Any market support for Hot Flame needs to be taken seriously.

STARLIT SPICE couldn't have created a much more favourable impression on debut and should be winning sooner rather than later, though Pearl of Hope shaped well on debut also and Bint Jeddah can improve again and play a part despite a stiff penalty.

A 180,000gns sister to a 1m 2yo winner, STARLIT SPICE can make the most of the 7lb she receives from the penalised Bintjeddah.

ZANZOUN only found the subsequent Group 3 winner Tabiti too good on her debut at Newmarket in August and that looks like the best form on offer in this contest. John & Thady Gosden's youngster might only need to find minimal improvement in order to shed her maiden tag at the second time of asking. Jowddah has run to a good level on both of her starts to date, filling the runner-up spot on both occasions and she commands respect. Any market support for newcomer Rhapsody should be noted too.

ZANZOUN looks the one to be with after a promising debut Newmarket second. Jowddah has a similar level of form and should still improve, while Godolphin's Cardinal Point is likely to step forward from debut.

The Gosden yard's ZANZOUN did nothing wrong when runner-up on her debut and can improve to win here. Jowddah is second choice.

Manhattan Mirage has placed form on soft ground, but returned a beaten favourite when last seen at Ripon in June. MELON TWIST makes more appeal returning to this distance, having ran out of steam attempting to make all over 7f at Southwell, as the daughter of Showcasing is steadily improving. Makes Sense also reverts to a shorter trip and is preferred to Believe It of the remainder.

Karl Burke's MELON TWIST looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark at the chief expense of Kempton-fourth Makes Sense and Raphael Freire's new recruit Manhattan Mirage.

A return to ground softer than good may well assist Manhattan Mirage but it looks safer to side with MELON TWIST.

LIBERATUS showed good battling qualities when coming out best in a fight to the line at Hamilton last month. His dam won over this longer trip and Charlie Johnston's inmate can improve further now handicapping. Bracklesham Bay has shown progressive form in nurseries and landed a double with his latest victory at Bath, though he's been raised 8lb for that success and is upped in class. Flying Fortress may improve in first-time cheekpieces and makes more appeal than Stormy Monday.

BRACKLESHAM BAY arrives on the up so is fancied to complete his hat-trick at the chief expense of recent Hamilton scorer Liberatus. Stormy Monday appeals as a likely improver on his handicap debut and can also have a big say in this open nursery.

This looks between two and the Jamie Osborne-trained BRACKLESHAM BAY, who is on a hat-trick, is just preferred to Liberatus.

Winning hurdler MACARI can open his account on the level after finishing runner-up over 1m4f on testing going at Newmarket 11 days ago. The four-year-old finished well clear of the rest that day and this looks less competitive. Afloat is a dual winner over 1m2f here and went close again on her latest start, while Sarmiento Power posted his best effort so far when second at Newcastle on his handicap debut. Twin Earth is another unexposed type capable of making his presence felt.

Lots with chances but Roger Varian's SARMIENTO POWER found just one too strong on his handicap debut at Newcastle last month, so he's fancied to go a place better with further improvement on the cards. In-form course winner Afloat heads the list of dangers, with the likes of Fram Castle, Mrs Meader and Turner Girl also well in the mix in this competitive handicap.

The unexposed SARMIENTO POWER looks progressive from just four starts and should stay the extra distance. Afloat is next best.

Tribal Chief is looking for a hat-trick after wins at Kempton and Epsom, but he is off 6lb higher now and may find some of his rivals are better handicapped. Dream Pirate fits that description off a mark of 64, having won off 1lb higher in October last year, but TERRIES ROYALE could be the one. An easy winner at Newmarket last time out, the four-year-old has been put up 5lb for that but after only nine races, there may still be improvement to come.

With his yard going great guns TRIBAL CHIEF is taken to complete the hat-trick. He's gone up a total of 12 lb for his victories at Kempton and Epsom but there's good reason to believe that he may still harbour secrets from the handicapper. Provided he goes on the ground Never Better will be a serious threat given his potential, while recent Newmarket scorer Terries Royale and Urban Lion are others to consider.

This can go to NEVER BETTER (nap), who remains open to improvement. A better effort from Dream Pirate wouldn't surprise.

FLYING SECRET has to carry topweight, but he maintained his unbeaten Yarmouth record with a second win over seven furlongs here last month. The five-year-old looks to have enough speed to do the same over this shorter trip, despite an added 5lb from the handicapper. Mick Appleby is never a trainer to ignore and Snow Berry could do better back at six furlongs if she gets away with the rest of the field, while Realised and Kurimu are looking to recoup losses after being beaten favourites last time out.

The vote goes to MARCHING MAC, who opened his account at the third time of asking for this yard at Brighton and lost little caste in defeat when chasing home a very well-treated rival dropped to 5f at Bath last week. He clearly handles cut in the ground and moving back up to 6f will be in his favour. King of War was beaten by Flying Secret over 7f here recently but is taken to reverse those placings back at this trip on 3 lb better terms. He rates the main danger ahead of Kurimu.

Marching Mac is respected, but MOREGINPLEASE has a good bit in her favour at a likely bigger price and is worth chancing.

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.
