A small but select field for this mile contest and a race that could go the way of BOWMARK, who still holds a Dante entry suggesting he is held in some regard. An impressive debut winner at Kempton in December when scoring by over four lengths, despite pulling hard throughout, the Kingman colt looks destined for bigger and better things. Glittering Legend stepped up to beat Royal Lodge Stakes sixth Hawksbill on his seasonal return at Kempton and is an obvious danger, alongside Irish raider Michael Scofield, who remains unbeaten after two victories at Southwell in March.

Progressive GLITTERING LEGEND has strong credentials and he is first choice ahead of Titanium Emperor in an intriguing Burradon.

Tortured Soul is a two-time C&D winner who has occupied the runner-up berth on each of his last three starts at Southwell and should remain competitive. However, OBSIDIAN KNIGHT gets the vote. The seven-year-old struck over 1m2f at this venue last time and is just 3lb higher. With a previous C&D victory to his name, this extra distance won't post any problems and he can complete the double. Last-time-out Doncaster scorer Destinado is another to note.

The vote goes to PARTY ISLAND who is 4-6 over C&D, is back off his last winning mark and better drawn than when seventh last year.

3	10 3rd (10) (20/1 -67%) Merrimack	20 20/1(-67%)	(10) Merrimack 20/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off 66 over CD last time; chance Second on his last three starts over C&D but needs to break well from stall 10..

8th	12 8th (12) (11/1 -47%) Aces Wild	11 11/1(-47%)	(12) Aces Wild 11/1, Well backed beaten 3/4l off 66 at Wolverhampton last time; consistent; mostly campaigned at Wolverhampton but went very close sole run over CD; fair claims Running respectably; should be thereabouts but he'll likely need extra for the win.

12th	3 12th (3) (40/1 +0%) Dapperling	40 40/1(+0%)	(3) Dapperling 40/1, Probably needed race beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap over 6f at Catterick last time; generally out of form; down in trip, suits; needs big step forward on recent efforts Useful juvenile but more miss than hit since; first run here and her mark's falling.

This is competitive and only a tentative vote can go to BLUE FORCE, who landed a double at Southwell on his return three weeks ago. The lightly-raced son of Blue Point was raised 6lb in the handicap for that performance but there could be more to come on this occasion. One More Dream was well backed when recording a narrow triumph at Pontefract recently and he merits respect back on the all-weather, while others to note include Aces Wild and Charlie Mason.

Secret Handsheikh is well drawn but so is BLUE FORCE and he can extend a fine AW sequence at this trip.

Trainer Andrew Balding won this in 2024 with Fire Demon and he has three entered this year with BERKSHIRE WHISPER possibly the pick of the trio, after following up a debut second with wins at Kempton and over C&D when sent clear late on. Oisin Murphy will be hoping he can build on that for his handicap debut where a mark of 89 seems reasonable. So Darn Hot is also a C&D winner and he can go well with Warren Fentiman claiming 5lb, while Humam and Hello Zaman also make the shortlist.

Andrew Balding could hold the key here and the promising BERKSHIRE WHISPER is preferred to stablemate Marchogion.

Arcadian Nights successfully completed the hat-trick at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and can go well off a 3lb higher rating. However, this represents a step up in grade and, with that in mind, KIND OF KISS gets the nod. The four-year-old outran his odds of 80/1 to make the frame in a stronger event over C&D in February and can capitalise on an unchanged mark. The in-form Mr Baloo is another to keep an eye on.

The choice is KIND OF KISS who ran his best race since joining his new yard when third in an even stronger contest over C&D last time.

VECU showed considerable promise across his three racecourse appearances last season, earning him a handicap rating of 86. The Gosdens' colt hasn't been seen since filling the runner-up spot at Kempton in September, but he returns with his yard amongst the winners and a breakthrough success could be imminent. The Andrew Balding team have made a fine start to the new campaign and Christmas Gift warrants a market check, while Critical Aclaim should not be overlooked either.

The majority of these will probably need handicaps but VECU might be aiming higher than that and Christmas Gift potentially so.

Aramis Grey's last victory was over this trip at Lingfield in 2023 off the same mark and remains capable of being in the mix. CLOUD COVER took this last year for James Tate and although a full stone higher now,the five-year-old still seems the one to beat. The winner of her last two starts at Deauville in Listed class and over C&D, she has had wind surgery which may bring improvement. Brazilian Rose is another who loves it here and she could surprise, despite racing from 2lb out of the handicap.

Last year's winner Cloud Cover is respected, while VIENNOISE is an interesting alternative and Quandary has solid claims.

Dembe backed up his C&D success with a comfortable triumph at Newcastle last month and it would be no surprise to see him go close in his bid to make it four wins out of his last five starts. However, he may come out second best to BRAVO ZULU, who made every yard of the running to score by half a length at Wolverhampton last time. The son of National Defense was kindly only put up 3lb for that victory, which might underestimate his authority that day. Blue Prince isn't out of it either.

The handicapper will catch up with DEMBE at some stage but he's been in the form of his life and can give it a very good shot back here.

Likely to be dropped in from his wide draw, SIR MAXI looks to hold sound claims having been a slightly unfortunate second over 6f at Newcastle last time out. The gelded son of Adaay travelled into the contest going best approaching the furlong pole before finding trouble. He will perhaps need some luck here, but returning to further will suit and the booking of Jamie Spencer is noteworthy. Split Elevens likes it around here and is respected, along with Bint Havana Gold and Rhythmic Acclaim.

Split Elevens is solid but THOMAS EQUINAS runs this track well and he's got a good draw in four. Some big players are poorly drawn.

A drop in distance appeared to find ROI DE FRANCE out when finishing third over 7f at Kempton last month. However, the son of Sea The Stars lost little in defeat and is fancied to resume his upward trajectory reverting to 1m. The hat-trick seeking Storm Star is 5lb higher than his ready C&D triumph in mid-January and another bold bid is forecast. Andrew Balding's colt may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of fellow progressive rivals Destructive and Symbol Of Light.

Several runners look interesting. Top of the list is STORM STAR, ahead of Destructive.

WESTMORIAN has returned from a lengthy layoff a rejuvenated sprinter. He landed a double in fine style at Southwell last month and Grant Tuer's inmate can defy a hike in the weights if translating that solid form over to the Polytrack. The progressive Pals Battalion has been in fine fettle at Newcastle, though today's high draw has done him no favours, and Silky Wilkie may prove a bigger threat based on his second in a competitive sprint here in February. Sommelier is not out of it either.

A competitive handicap in which the frustrating but capable pair Silky Wilkie and SOMMELIER may be the two to focus on.

John Butler's horses have turned a corner of late and with that in mind, his handily-weighted WINDSOR PASS is highly appealing back to her ideal trip after a respectable fourth-placed finish over a mile at Yarmouth most recently. With her old rival Mashaan being a likely pace angle but drawn out wide, this could unfold to ideally suit her closing style of running. Twitch, Kondratiev Wave and Lilkian are others for the shortlist.

Kondratiev Wave can go well but bENPASSANT\p may be able to take advantage of a drop in grade and the return to 7f.

Having finished a good third at Southwell 12 days ago, Diligent Harry must enter calculations sporting first-time blinkers. The seven-year-old has scored in two of three outings at this venue and he isn't taken lightly, but MARSHMAN gets the vote. Karl Burke's charge has thrived since being gelded and didn't get the rub of the green on his staying-on third in the Cammidge at Doncaster last month. Reverting to handicap company, compensation could be in the offing. Fivethousandtoone and The Caltonian are the pick of the remainder.

Heathcliff still appeals as being ahead of his mark but FIVETHOUSANDTOONE bolted up in this race last year and can repeat the feat.

This represents a drop in class for LIV MY LIFE. The four-year-old took the eye finishing strongly for fifth in a tough handicap over course and distance in February and is fancied to launch a serious challenge at this level. Eazy On The Eye will likely go well at the head of affairs, having made all when scoring over a longer distance at Wolverhampton in November, while Party Bear has been in winning form on the Tapeta, though carries 6lb extra for her latest success. Scattering Light is another to note.

This is a new surface for PARTY BEAR but she's been in great heart in 7f handicaps and is taken to defy the penalty.

CABALLO DE MAR has really flourished since being stepped to this sort of trip and a fifth consecutive success may be forthcoming if the progressive four-year-old copes with another 6lb rise on just his second start on Polytrack. Recent novice stakes winner Liam Swagger is versatile and has a big chance of spoiling the part for the selection, while fellow last-time-out winners Steel Tiger and Cardano also boast strong credentials.

The impeccably bred DON SIMON (nap) looks interesting now raised in distance under Ryan Moore as his comeback run was encouraging.

Charlotte's Web finished just over three lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork in the trial for this contest at Lingfield in February and is likely to be on the premises. However, a 5lb rise makes life tougher so it may pay to side with SMART HERO. James Tate's four-year-old didn't have to come out of second gear to complete a double at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and that performance made him still look ahead of his mark, despite being 9lb higher now. Glen Buck has only tasted defeat once in five starts and is also noted.

On the back of a useful performance over C&D, OLD HARROVIAN is taken to reverse earlier Southwell placings with Glen Buck.

The Craftymaster has two C&D wins and a neck second here to his name, and his latest success at Newcastle came off 1lb higher than today's mark, though he was not at his best when fifth last time. Gallant Lion represents last season's winning trainer and is of interest trying this trip for the first time on the Flat, but COMTE DE LOIR is narrowly preferred. A Kempton winner in January and third at Newcastle since, he tries cheekpieces now and may have more to offer as a lightly-raced four-year-old.

The vote goes to DANCE TIME who battled on well to win over 1m5f here last time. The step back up in trip looks to be in her favour.

SKY MAJESTY made rapid progress as a juvenile, going from winning a maiden at Newbury to landing the Firth Of Clyde at Ayr before rounding off the campaign with a Group 2 win at Chantilly in October. Those lofty credentials suggest the upwardly-mobile daughter of Blue Point is too exciting a prospect to overlook, despite this being her debut on a synthetic surface. The class-dropping Jouncy appeals most of the remainder after a gelding operation, although Mr Lightside and Andesite are others capable of being in the mix.

Assuming she takes to AW, SKY MAJESTY looks likely to maintain her unbeaten record. Jouncy is second choice.

ROARING LEGEND is unbeaten in three starts since switching to the Hugo Palmer yard, with his best effort coming when a five-length victor in this class at Lingfield in February. The five-year-old continues his rise in the ranks and can score before a potential tilt at the Yorkshire Cup next month. Wonder Legend accounted for Plage De Havre by just under three lengths over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last time and is expected to confirm that form to have a say. Duke Of Oxford is the pick of the remainder.

Wonder Legend must have a chance but PLAGE DE HAVRE (nap) can reverse their Wolverhampton placings. Roaring Legend is feared.

Kiniro ran out of steam late on over an extra furlong at Kempton last time but might not have the same issue here, though top-weight may mean he has to settle for a place. Backspin impressed when getting off the mark at the fourth attempt at Southwell and he can go well, but VOCAL LEGEND is preferred from lower in the handicap. He made most of the running to score with ease at Southwell in February and similar tactics may see him come home in front again.

Vocal Legend is unexposed as a sprinter and high on the list but BACKSPIN (nap) won well on his handicap debut and can follow up.

The hat-trick seeking Mister Mojito displayed a willing attitude when completing a double at Lingfield eight days ago and another bold bid is forecast. However, a 5lb penalty demands another career best from the four-year-old and preference is for fellow progressive rival MIDNIGHT'S DREAM. Roger Varian's charge scored with something in hand at Leicester earlier this month and a 6lb higher mark is unlikely the ceiling of his ability. Westernesse is also noted.

The vote goes to LORD RAPSCALLION whose lasts six wins have come over 7f, but he won three times over this trip in his younger days.

The combination of a 147-day break and gelding procedure saw NOTIMEFORCHITCHAT regaining the winning thread over 7f at Kempton last month. The son of Time Test is bred to relish today's extra three furlongs and he could find enough improvement to defy a 3lb nudge up in the ratings. The biggest threat may emerge from Cristo, who offered plenty of encouragement on his second-placed seasonal debut at Southwell 16 days ago, ahead of Dalmally.

Plenty have something to recoomend them but CRISTO tops the list and he can land a first success now moved up in trip.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
