The form of No News' recent victory over C&D hasn't worked out as hoped and the four-year-old may be worth taking on off a 4lb higher mark. STELLA HOGAN finished a respectable second from an uncompromising position at Chelmsford last month and she makes the most appeal. The John O'Shea-trained filly has been nudged up just 1lb in the handicap and another bold bid is anticipated. A case can also be made for King Of Speed, who is racing off a career-low mark.

STELLA HOGAN has shown improved form on her last 2 starts, getting off the mark in good style at this C&D in October before meeting trouble when runner-up on her latest outing. She is taken to resume winning ways, though Laura's Breeze is better drawn than on her last 2 races and isn't taken lightly. No News is also considered.

The suggestion is BEN DIKDUK, for whom it is hoped the removal of headgear and the return to further could open up more possibilities.

ARTS OF WAR has offered plenty to work in her November appearances at Newmarket (fourth) and Southwell (third). A reproduction of either of those performances may be enough for Roger Varian's filly to shed her maiden tag in this contest, with Bas Bleu feared most. The daughter of Masar posted a respectable fourth on her debut at Lingfield last month and she rates a likely improver. Private Getaway could fare best of the remaining protagonists.

Having shaped well in a back-end Newmarket novice, ARTS OF WAR wasn't seen to best effect when third at Southwell just under 6 weeks ago and sure to have more to offer, Roger Varian's filly gets the nod to make it third time lucky at the expense of Private Getaway, who got back on track when sixth here 2 weeks ago and she's not yet the finished article. Bas Bleu and newcomer Miss Monte Carlo and another couple worth keeping an eye on, also.

Having ended up with a lot to do when running on well for third over 7f last time, ARTS OF WAR can open her account today.

LIBRA TIGER hadn't been in any kind of form prior to landing the corresponding event 12 months ago and it is a similar story this time around for Laura Mongan's gelding. He is 1lb lower and this could be the right time to catch the son of Territories. Ithra and Swiss Pride are a couple of others to consider, with the former feared most on the basis that she performed much better when tried in blinkers at Lingfield last time.

FISCAL POLICY shaped as if still in good form at Chelmsford last time and the Dan & Claire Kubler-trained gelding gets the nod ahead of Ithra, who returned to form at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Vape was front rank for a long way at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and is also considered from a reduced mark.

The suggestion is ITHRA, who has been knocking on the door a couple of times recently and may be capable of breaking her duck.

FIRST COMPANY had been running well over C&D before a below-par showing at Wolverhampton last Wednesday. Mark Loughnane's charge, who would appear to have plenty of room to maneuver from his current mark, will appreciate the return here and he is fancied to get back on track. Em Jay Kay continues to knock on the door and he must be taken seriously, while Hiatus is also noted.

A few in with a squeak but the vote goes to BIG R, who was possibly in need of the outing after 4 months off when finishing down the field at Southwell recently so Eve Johnson Houghton's 4-y-o can belatedly open his account fitted with first-time blinkers. Em Jay Kay's consistency is hard to knock so he's put forward as the main threat, with Hiatus and Roman Spring taken to fight out third.

After shaping well over 7f last month, BIG R looks interesting back at 6f and with blinkers fitted

LUAS represents the stable who won this last year with Expert Agent and he could go close on his second start since a gelding operation, now dropped back a furlong after weakening over further in December. A mark of 75 seems fair for his handicap debut and may give him the edge over Wolverhampton winner Engineer, who was put in his place when second here in November and has to give the selection 5lb. Newcastle victor Bulldog Drummond and the consistent Flag Carrier are others to consider.

IPPOTHEOS failed to repeat his stable debut win when only fourth at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he wasn't seen to best effect and is well worth another chance. Engineer ran well behind a useful prospect over C&D on his most recent outing and is an interesting handicap debutant, with Bulldog Drummond respected up 5 lb for his Newcastle triumph.

Preference is for ENGINEER, who appears to have rock-solid claims on his handicap debut. Flag Carrier is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Tenerife Sunshine won a C&D handicap off 1lb higher in August last year and although he was beaten a long way at Newcastle last month, he has been eased 2lb since and drops into this class for the first time since that victory. He can go well at these weights, but OCEAN HEIGHTS is preferred. A half-length winner over 1m4f here last time out, he won with a bit up his sleeve and although he has been upped 4lb in the ratings, his jockey can now claim 5lb from the saddle. Geelong is another to consider off bottom-weight representing a stable in good form.

LISEO was a bit keener than ideal at Chelmsford last time and is worth another chance having fared best of those held up in a valuable event over C&D in November. Ocean Heights is going the right way and must enter the reckoning, with Precision Storm another to consider having dropped to a handy mark.

Handicap debutant LEGACY POWER (nap) is attractively treated off just 73 and taken to open his account. Geelong is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Narrowly denied at Chelmsford last time out, LOVE DE VEGA could be on the verge of a first win since last August and Rossa Ryan getting back on board is a big plus. He can uphold form with Revolutionise (fourth), while McLean House is three from three over this C&D and must also enter calculations. Sandy Paradise and Royal Parade have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

MCLEAN HOUSE is a lightly-raced progressive 4-y-o and is selected to make it 4 wins from as many starts over this C&D. Revolutionise and Love de Vega head the opposition in an open-looking contest.

Armed with a 4lb pull and much better draw, SANDY PARADISE could well reverse last-time-out C&D placings with McLean House.
Class & Speed Card

MAMALOUKA was slightly unlucky on her first run after wind surgery when not getting a clear run late on and narrowly denied over 1m at Chelmsford last month. The three-year-old may be able to gain compensation on this occasion, with recent C&D third Publicity looking best placed to chase her home. Rising Force has strong claims if bouncing back to the form that saw him finish second on his penultimate start.

MAMALOUKA took a big step forward switched to a nursery when second at Chelmsford last month and a reproduction of that form could be enough to see her go one better. Rising Force and Publicity rate the main threats.

The suggestion is to side with PUBLICITY, who put up a better effort last time and a step up on that could suffice.
