As a son of Mehmas, EAST TYRONE should enjoy quick ground and he looks the one to beat if building upon a highly encouraging debut effort when second at Doncaster. Kevin Ryan's colt is narrowly preferred to Ripon scorer Assertively, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for that determined success, while Rajeteriat is another open to improvement after a promising first-time-out performance at Southwell.

ASSERTIVELY created a good impression on winning debut at Ripon and may well be up to defying his penalty. East Tyrone and Rajeteriat have a similar chance in receipt of weight after their promising debuts and head up the dangers.

The choice is ASSERTIVELY despite a 7lb penalty for his narrow Ripon debut success and likely different ground conditions.

A maiden after nine starts, this looks as good an opportunity as any for LOCHABER to get off the mark, following a strong runner-up effort over 6f in a Doncaster handicap. Dropping back in trip should not inconvenience him and it may be Better who gives him the most to think about on his first run for the Paul Midgley stable. Vanity Pays has taken her time to settle on these shores, but her most recent effort at Pontefract gave hope that there could be improvement forthcoming.

LOCHABER looked well suited reverting back to leading when runner-up behind a thriving sort at Doncaster (6f) recently, and with the return to the minimum trip holding no fears, he looks a big player down in grade with the cheekpieces retained. Vanity Pays holds good claims on these terms if bouncing back down in class, with Better, on debut for Paul Midgley, also entering calculations.

Preference is for LOCHABER who didn't do much wrong when narrowly beaten in a Doncaster handicap (first two clear) 12 days ago.

A determined winner over C&D last August to form the second leg of a hat-trick, EMERALDS PRIDE is taken to begin this season the way she ended the last. A mark of 68 still looks manageable and on ground that should suit, she may have too much for Maharajas Express and Thankuappreciate, who was something of an eyecatcher at Thirsk when slowly away before running on late for fourth.

DIGITAL produced his best effort to date for Ruth Carr from his sliding mark when third at Wetherby 16 days ago and from a handy draw, he could be worth chancing to build on that returned to the minimum trip. Ghathanfar (engaged to run at Catterick on Monday) lurks on a very handy mark and is feared. Burj Malinka and Emeralds Pride complete the shortlist.

Preference is for DIGITAL who ran his best race since joining Ruth Carr at Wetherby last time. He could take another step forward.

SOUND REASON made a promising enough start for David O'Meara when fourth at Pontefract, shaping as if he would benefit from the outing. The six-year-old arrives 4lb lower than his last victory, which came over C&D, so it wouldn't be a major surprise if he reversed last month's form with Herakles, who finished one place ahead and had fitness on his side. Bella Kopella could have been inconvenienced by soft ground at Doncaster and is worth another chance, while Fortunate Star defied a slow start to win at Catterick, although a 5lb rise makes life tougher.

A winner from a 4 lb higher mark over C&D last summer, SOUND REASON ought to be sharper for his reappearance/yard debut effort at Pontefract 3 weeks ago and with the headgear refitted, he could well be worth siding with to take a step forward. Catterick-scorer Fortunate Star and Haveagomecca are others to consider, along with Herakles.

This can go to SOUND REASON who is on a handy mark for new connections and is a dual C&D winner. Herakles can be next best.

SHE'S GOT BOTTLE benefited from a couple of all-weather outings earlier in the year when gaining a brace of victories at Pontefract and over C&D under a 5lb penalty. The five-year-old is taken to continue in this rich vein of form in a contest where most of her rivals arrive with questions to answer. Strangerontheshore wasn't disgraced on her return here over shorter last week and is capable of better. Beltane and Lenny's Spirit appeal most of the remainder.

YOUNG FIRE ran well having been caught wider than ideal when fourth at Thirsk 10 days ago and, lurking on a very dangerous mark, he could well be worth chancing in the hope he gets the gaps with his usual visor refitted. Beltane is another on a handy mark and feared along with the thriving She's Got Bottle who steps back up in class in pursuit of the hat-trick. Lennys Spirit is also in the mix.

The vote goes to dual C&D winner STRANGERONTHESHORE (nap) who made a promising comeback over an inadequate 7f here eight days ago.

A mile and a half on soft ground might have been too much for KINGMONT on her handicap bow at Doncaster and she has every chance of bouncing back on this occasion. A winner on her second start at Kempton, the drop in trip may also yield improvement. Flickering Halo could be a threat back in handicap company having struggled in a heavy-ground maiden at Ripon. Handicap debutant L'Eagle Aid is capable of stepping forward.

KNIGHT TEMPLAR never figured in a handful of starts as a 2-y-o yet he's just the type his shrewd stable does well with in handicaps, so he could be the way to go on return/upped in trip without the benefit of market clues. Straight A and L'eagle Aid are a couple of others to consider.

Preference is for KINGMONT who seemed to find 1m4f on soft ground too much last time. The drop in trip could see her bounce back.

SPARTAN WARRIOR responded well to first-time cheekpieces when getting off the mark here over 1m2f last week and the extra couple of furlongs is unlikely to pose any concern. Miss Galiway was doing her best work at the finish when third behind the selection and is bred to improve for stepping up in trip, with similar comments applying to Miss Gitana following her fourth at Yarmouth.

MISS GITANA improved on her exploits as a 2-y-o without being seen to best effect when fourth at Yarmouth 2 weeks ago, and with the likelihood of more to come, she earns the vote to confirm the promise of that run stepping up further in trip. Recent course winner Spartan Warrior and Walter Hartright are others fancied to feature, with Solar Bentley another who may appreciate this further increase in trip.

The vote goes to SOLAR BENTLEY who has finished runner-up in both starts since the visor went on. The longer trip should suit.
