ALI SHUFFLE won a shade cosily on her Redcar debut earlier in the month and she may prove good enough to give 5lb or more to her rivals to come home in front. Kevin Ryan had a juvenile winner at Musselburgh on Sunday and is represented by Kilfrush Desert, who commands plenty of respect, while others likely to make an impact are Museum Piece and Sand Lily.

Ali Shuffle is an obvious one, along with newcomers Dakota Dawn, Kilfrush Desert, SAND LILY and Sioux Perfect.

Four-year-olds have a good record in this race and it will be interesting to see where EQUITY LAW sits in the market ahead of his first start for Tim Easterby, with his latest win at Sandown in April last year in a better race, and off a 5lb higher mark. King Of Tonga has won on his return before and was last seen scoring at Chester in July, but he may have to settle for a place on this occasion, while Elegant Erin loves it here with three wins from five starts.

Hiya Maite is entitled to go close and will look to put his race fitness to good use after a neck second at Southwell last month. He still needs a career best off this mark, and preference is for the younger ANGEL SHARED, whose wins on turf have come on a variety of surfaces. She could step forward this season, with Albegone and Havana Rum also of interest from the bottom of the handicap.

No strong fancy in this one but DURAN won three times last year and still looks like having more to give, preferred to Hiya Maite.

AL KHAWSSAA ended her three-year-old campaign with a cosy triumph at Southwell and she looks one to keep the right side of on her return to action. Roger Varian has his string in fine fettle and the Night Of Thunder filly looks capable of following up. The biggest threat may emerge from Adoon Valley, who is a live threat judged on her debut second at Newmarket. Arkinthestars and Wilhelmina are also worth a second look.

Most tempting is WILHELMINA, who had excuses after a pleasing debut last year and looks like improving now.

Although thwarted in his follow-up bid at Chelmsford 20 days ago, LIGHTENING MANN lost little in defeat in finishing second. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings looks workable for Jack Channon's gelding and he's fancied to regain the winning thread. Sir Peter Fossick may have found the ground too soft on his third-placed defeat at Chester in September last year and he isn't taken lightly on the back of a gelding procedure. Edge Ofthe Unknown is the pick of the remainder.

The most appealing option is SIR PETER FOSSIC, a potential improver now up in trip for his return albeit he's not exactly bred to stay.

FREDDY ROBINSON returned to form with a staying-on third over 1m2f at Doncaster last time out. The son of Adaay should relish today's extra two furlongs and compensation could be on the cards. Prince Achille ended his last campaign with a fair sixth at Newcastle and a 134-day break may freshen him up. The six-year-old is feared most reverting to turf, ahead of Marioento.

Three of these took part in the same Doncaster race last month and it's the sixth WHATACRACKER who makes the most appeal.

A gelding operation seemed to work wonders for BELTADAAY when scoring easily at Leicester last October. A 10lb rise for that success could prove manageable, despite totally different conditions on his return. The son of Adaay is narrowly preferred to the consistent Law Degree and Sovereign Class, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort over further at Musselburgh most recently. Berkshire Smudge and Seed Investor are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

There looks like being more to come from MOBY QUICK, so he's the choice in a race with no fully convincing options.

The Edward Bethell stable can do little wrong at present and CROWN'S LADY could be a shrewd recruit to the yard, having won three times last year. Going back up in trip looks like a good move for the four-year-old, and it may be that Astronomica gives her the most to think about, having ended last season with highly creditable efforts at Leicester and Newmarket. Catton Lady and Electric Avenue cannot be ruled out either.

This is tricky with doubts about the fitness of a few of them and the state of the ground. CROWN'S LADY gets a tentative vote.

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.
