Jacks Touch registered a third triumph of the season when scoring with ease over 2m4f here and a 7lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, PRESENTING A QUEEN's runner-up effort in a class 2 event at Hereford in December may prove the stronger form. The seven-year-old should enjoy this drop in class and she edges the vote. Last-time-out Fontwell winner Flintara could also prove dangerous if allowed an easy lead.

JACKS TOUCH has taken well to chasing this season, making it 3 wins from 5 starts over fences with a ready success at this course last time, so she can go on to score again with this step up in trip likely to suit. Flintara was a wide-margin winner at Fontwell on her latest outing and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Terresita.

The rematch between Jacks Touch and Terresita could go either way. PRESENTING A QUEEN and Flintara are other big players.
Class & Speed Card

So Chic kept on well to hit the frame over a mile here last month and though she's a dual winner at this trip, John Long's filly might need a good pace to aim at back over 7f. With that in mind, the vote goes to MAURICES MEN, who posted a career-best performance when narrowly denied at Kempton 17 days ago. First-time cheekpieces could elicit further improvement, with the booking of Hollie Doyle a positive one. Others to note include Handel and Regal Glory.

SO CHIC was unlucky not to follow up her C&D win here last month and can quickly resume winning ways. Penalised-winner El Hibri is next best ahead of Maurices Men.

The prospect of having a fast pace to chase heightens interest in RABINAL (nap). He did well to finish second here two runs back.
Class & Speed Card

Last week's ready Wincanton scorer NORDIC TIGER escapes a penalty on this quick turnaround. Harry Derham's gelding is 10lb well-in compared to his revised mark and a quickfire double looks a strong possibility. Goblet Of Fire shed his maiden tag over hurdles at the chief expense of a subsequent winner at Hereford and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, with his 12lb weight-for-age allowance a big advantage. Taunton scorer Quian completes the shortlist.

Cases can be made for quite a few, but it was hard not to be impressed by NORDIC TIGER'S manner of victory at Wincanton last week and he's hard to get away from given he escapes a penalty for that success. Goblet of Fire and Orchestra are a pair of interesting handicap debutants, and they head the opposition.

Nordic Tiger has a great chance provided he copes with the drop back in trip. GOBLET OF FIRE and Quian are also appealing.
Class & Speed Card

Queen Of Zafeen defeated a subsequent winner on her racecourse debut and she merits the utmost respect, despite this being tougher under a 7lb penalty. KINAKO MOCHI might not have been seen since filling the runner-up spot at Kempton on her first career start in June, but she is likely to have strengthened up in recent months and breeding suggests the step up in trip will suit. Spiritual Pursuit can chase the pair home, while Heavenly Fire warrants closer inspection ahead of her racecourse bow.

KINAKO MOCHI had 3 next-time-out winners behind when runner-up on her debut at Kempton back in June, so she has to be considered the one to beat, especially with the step up to 7f sure to suit. Queen of Zafeen was all out to hold off a fellow newcomer at Southwell but is open to improvement all the same, with Heavenly Fire clear pick of the debutantes before market clues.

Archie Watson's SPIRITUAL PURSUIT succcumbed only to a Godolphin filly (previous winner) at Wolverhampton and she can go one better.
Class & Speed Card

KITSILANO opened his account under Rules when landing the spoils over hurdles at Clonmel in December. The seven-year-old has since joined the David Bridgwater yard and he's taken to follow up on this return to chasing. King Of Brazil lurks on a dangerous mark and could prove a potential fly in the ointment if a wind procedure unlocks some potential, while Generous Day may have been freshened up by a 72-day break.

GENEROUS DAY could be worth chancing dropping in class with his yard having had a welcome winner over the weekend. Friary Rock was too bad to be true last time so is expected to bounce back, while Master Malcolm could also return to form back at this venue.

Back at Huntingdon the percentage call goes to MASTER MALCOLM. Second choice is American Gerry.
Class & Speed Card

BOSH has yet to conclusively prove his stamina at this trip, but the way in which he kept on to score over 6f at Chelmsford would suggest it might eke out further improvement from the son of Profitable. Similarly, Aljari ought to relish the greater test of stamina having rattled home for third at Kempton last time and is feared most, while Hieronymus appeals most of the remainder.

BOSH is in top form at present and can follow up his ready success at Chelmsford up only 2 lb. Hieronymus also arrives at the top of his game so is feared most ahead of Aljari.

This looks a bit trappy but it might be worth sticking with BOSH, who finished well when winning at Chelmsford 18 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

Impressive Warwick winner Diamond Ri and the unbeaten Handstands warrant consideration on the back of some assured performances, but the suspicion is that JANGO BAIE may have too much for these rivals. Nicky Henderson's charge won the Grade 1 Formby Novices' Hurdle going away at Aintree on Boxing Day and with this step up in trip promising to suit, he should be able to show his rivals a clean pair of heels, and may even confirm his Cheltenham Festival ticket.

JANGO BAIE found plenty under pressure to score in Grade 1 company last time and sets a clear standard in a race the yard used as a stepping stone for Shishkin 4 years ago. There's little to split the remaining trio in form terms, with all looking open to plenty of improvement, Handstands getting the fractional vote for second.

Unbeaten HANDSTANDS is taken to improve further and beat Jango Baie whose Grade 1 win came in somewhat fortunate circumstances.
Class & Speed Card

RISING FORCE's stamina appeared stretched when weakening into third over 1m2f here last time out. The Mehmas gelding should appreciate this return to a mile and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to get back on the scoresheet. Handicap debutant Mr Influence might be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Hatadora and Eccentric.

RISING FORCE has essentially held his form well since opening his account at Chelmsford in September and looks the way to go with the return to 1m holding no fears. Hatadora on handicap debut may emerge as the chief threat.

Normally RISING FORCE would look vulnerable to an improver but it's not clear where the improvement is coming from among his rivals.
Class & Speed Card

Urban Soldier arrives on the back of a solid third at Doncaster, but he will need to improve on his jumping if he is to go two places better. Preference is for SPITALFIELD, who gives the impression that the step up to this trip can suit and off 1lb lower than when finishing fourth over an extended 2m2f at Market Rasen, he can make a bold bid for the gold medal. Barricane is capable of winning a race of this nature if on a going day, but inconsistency continues to be the main concern with him.

SPITALFIELD is steadily going in the right direction and he's bred to get the longer trip, so a chance is taken on him to open his account over hurdles. Urban Soldier is a big threat on the back of a positive start for his new yard and Barricane can't be dismissed returning to hurdling.

Unexposed URBAN SOLDIER (nap) is taken to build on his solid Doncaster effort and get off the mark. Spitalfield is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

BAILEYS WARRIOR posted yet another creditable effort in defeat when a close-up second at Kempton in late January and a 1lb rise in the handicap doesn't appear insurmountable. A similar profile is displayed by fellow in-form rival Foinix, who looks an obvious danger racing off the same mark as his recent runner-up effort over C&D. New York Bay will need to settle better to see out this trip, so Triple Nickle may emerge as a bigger threat.

Having dropped in the weights, FOINIX has returned to his best when runner-up on his last 2 starts, finding only one who was completing a 4-timer too strong at this C&D 6 days ago, so he could be ready to return to winning ways. Baileys Warrior again went close at Kempton last time and can give another good account, with New York Bay also considered.

Baileys Warrior is respected but the vote goes to FOINIX, who was an eyecatching second behind a major improver over C&D last week.
Class & Speed Card

HERMES LE GRIS was having his first start for this stable when falling two from home at Southwell last week and he can make a solid fist of trying to atone for that mishap off the same mark. Provided the application of a tongue-tie and cheekpieces has the desired effect, Mrs Grimley has the ability to at least hit the frame in a race of this nature, while Crossbeau also rates as shortlist material.

Preference is for HERMES LE GRIS, who was in control when departing 2 out at Southwell last week and is able to race off the same mark here. Crossbeau was also unfortunate not to score at Chepstow last time and looks the obvious danger, whilst Mattie Ross may be the pick of several interesting handicap debutants.

With so few solid recommendations among the rest, this may be best left to last week's unlucky pair HERMES LE GRIS and Crossbeau.
Class & Speed Card

ENOUGH ALREADY won over this course and distance from a 4lb lower mark last May and, with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching jockey booking, everything is in place for another bold showing from the eight-year-old after a near miss at Kempton 12 days ago. Just a short head separated Arctician (second) and Sandy Paradise (third) when they took the minor honours in a 7f handicap here last month and they can fill similar roles here, with this longer trip not expected to be an issue.

DAYMAN has been shaping up well of late and, with a strong pace forecast, he's taken to get off the mark for his current connections. In-form pair Arctician and Enough Already head the dangers.

This should be truly run and it could be the day when everything drops right for DAYMAN. Second choice is Arctician.
Class & Speed Card

Skye Breeze justified favouritism on his return to the all-weather at Southwell last month following a run on turf at Catterick in October. However, a 6lb rise for that success may leave him vulnerable for win purposes on this occasion and the vote goes to BERAZ. Stepping back up in trip appears to be the right move based on his fourth here on New Year's Day, while others to consider include Queen Of Ipanema and Valsad.

QUEEN OF IPANEMA had a few of these rivals in behind her when scoring over 11f at Southwell last month. Geroge Boughey's filly wasn't seen to best effect in a race which tested speed at Wolverhampton last Saturday and is taken to resume winning ways now stepping back up to 1½m (3-3 at trip coming into this). Beraz, Aqwaam and Tenerife Sunshine head the dangers in a competitive opener.

This can go to BERAZ (nap) whose third in the November Handicap was even better than it looked. His latest fourth was another fine run.
Class & Speed Card

DUNSKAY was outclassed in a Listed bumper at Ascot in December, having made a winning start to his career at Exeter the time before. The booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye and the five-year-old may prove capable of defying a 7lb penalty. Blue Las is a half-sister to a Listed-placed hurdler and she has to be of interest along with Shy Love, a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Brandy Love, and Jimmyjeroo.

DUNSKAY looked a good prospect when scoring at Exeter on debut and with his subsequent effort in a listed race easy enough to put a line through, Ben Pauling's 5-y-o is fancied to resume his progress. Absolutely Fine, Big Ginge and Fergal O'Brien's pair Shy Love and Ol' Man Brando rate as likely dangers before the benefit of market clues.

Dunskay sets the standard, while BLUE LAS, Shy Love, Ol' Man Brando and Big Ginge are very interesting newcomers.
Class & Speed Card

There is very little to split the likes of Level Up (winner), Night On Earth (second) and HARB (third) based on a recent clash over C&D. However, the last-named may be able to turn around the form of last month's encounter with his old rivals on the revised terms. A previous course and distance winner off a 3lb higher mark, the selection tends to go well for Shane Kelly and the partnership can provide a bit of value in a wide-open sprint handicap.

Claims can be made for most and with that in mind it could pay to take a chance on RECON MISSION. He lost all chance at the start when behind a few of these over C&D 24 days ago and, having been given a chance by the handicapper, a better showing can be anticipated from a handy draw/re-united with Tom Marquand. Night On Earth and Harb head up the dangers.

Level Up got the better of NIGHT ON EARTH here last month but the selection could be helped here by an uncontested lead.
Class & Speed Card

EXPLORERS WAY returned to winning ways over C&D on his latest start and a 2lb rise is unlikely to stop him from doubling up in what appears to be a more than winnable contest on paper. Gold Aura boasts a consistent level of form and is likely to be in the mix on her return to handicap company, with Rise Hall appealing most of the remainder.

EXPLORERS WAY gained his first success in excess of 1m when scoring over C&D last month and Brian Ellison's gelding looks capable of following up after a minimal rise in the weights. Masterpainter made the pdoium over 1m here last time and can go well again, with Gold Aura also worth a market check returning to handicap company.

Preference is for MASTERPAINTER whose pedigree suggests he is well worth another go over a longer trip.
Class & Speed Card

ROYAL PROSPECT won a classified event over C&D on his penultimate start before running with plenty of credit back in a handicap here when only beaten a length into second. Despite being 4lb higher, the nine-year-old is taken to continue in this vein of form. Beylerbeyi went close here on his most recent start and has to enter the reckoning along with Tees George.

BEYLERBEYI is unexposed for his current yard and the form of his latest C&D second is working out very well, so he's worth chancing to go one better at the possible expense of last-time-out winner Tees George, Royal Prospect and Spartan Fighter are also worth considering.

Both BEYLERBEYI and Royal Prospect chased home triple subsequent winners on their last starts. The former races off the same mark.
Class & Speed Card

HARVANNA should appreciate this drop in trip after weakening late on over 6f here last month and, off 1lb lower, Karl Burke's speedster rates as the one to side with. Torvar fairly bolted up over 5f at Chelmsford most recently, but he finds himself on a career-high mark and that asks a question of him, while Balon D'or's official rating continues to fall and he's another to keep an eye on.

A trappy sprint in which preference is for HARVANNA, who was progressive in a handful of starts on turf last year and shaped very well on return/handicap debut when fourth here over 6f on New Year's Day. She can get the better of Torvar, who ran out an impressive winner at Chelmsford last month, with Bint Alfella rounding off the shortlist now heading down the handicap route.

This can go to HARVANNA who only faded late on when returning from 173 days off in a Class 2 handicap over 6f here last month.
Class & Speed Card

LIKEASHADOW finished an agonisingly close second over 7f at this track last month and, having been nudged up just 1lb, he can make his presence felt over the mile this time around. The class-dropping Good Morning Alex rates as the main danger to the selection having finished an admirable third here latest, while this drop back to a mile promises to suit Due Consideration, who was caught late on over 1m2f here in September.

NIGHT SAFARI has been gelded since last seen and he's bred to be better than a mark of 65, so he's worth taking a chance on against mostly more exposed rivals. Likeashadow arrives in top form, so he's an obvious danger, while Good Morning Alex can't be dismissed.

The vote goes to GOOD MORNING ALEX who got outpaced in his hat-trck bid here last time, but this may be run more to suit him.
Class & Speed Card

Angelica Catalani arguably sets the standard on her latest C&D fifth, but the daughter of Mondialiste could prove vulnerable to one of the debutants. MEMORIES MAKER, a half-brother to Group 3 winner Class Is Class, tops the bill. Charlie Johnston's gelding ticks plenty of the right boxes and he could have too much class for these rivals. Any market support for fellow newcomer More Than A Feelin would be interesting.

This may go to one of the newcomers and MEMORIES MAKER is much respected on his racecourse bow. Strive can also make his presence felt.

This can go to one of the newcomers in the shape of MEMORIES MAKER. The stable has done well with its debutants in the last few weeks.
Class & Speed Card

Water Of Leith made the most of a career-low mark when scything through the field to score at Southwell in December. However, a 5lb rise in the handicap may leave Jim Goldie's charge vulnerable, with November C&D winner CRYPTO QUEST edging the vote. The son of Profitable is only 1lb higher in the ratings and is taken to make his stable bow a winning one. Sixcor should also get involved if breaking better.

C&D winner URBAN DANDY has dropped to a handy mark and was unlucky not to finish much closer here last week. He gets the nod in the finale. Water of Leith and Latin Five also enter calculations.

The vote goes to WATER OF LEITH who returned to winning form at Southwell last time. He may again get the solid pace he needs.
