THE HRSE HORSE improved from first to second start when a highly promising third from the front over 7f at Lingfield last month. The drop in trip looks like a perfect move for Jamie Osborne's charge. He gets the vote ahead of Cables Queen on her first start for the James Owen team and Gennadius, who ran well for a long way before weakening late in the piece over 1m at Bath recently.

The drop back to 6f might not hurt GENNADIUS who has displayed a fair amount of speed in two 1m maidens won by smart prospects.

Runner-up to what looked a smart sort from Amo Racing on debut at Wolverhampton recently, KESTA sets the standard on the back of that and he can go one better for connections that have an excellent record at this venue. A well-related sort by Cotai Glory, Buenos Dias looks capable of being in the shake-up first time out, along with Alkuwarrior, who went close at Leicester last week and should appreciate an extra half-furlong in distance.

Alkuwarrior was a much-improved second at Leicester but slight preference is for KESTA who made a promising start at Wolverhampton.

A tentative vote goes to FAST FLO, who caught the eye on her return to turf when going from the front and eventually finishing third over further at Yarmouth last week. Dropping back in trip looks ideal and she may be able to finally get off the mark. Course winner Notre Maison looks best placed to chase her home following a creditable effort at Wolverhampton last time out. Tilsworth Ony Ta and Time Patrol have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

This looks tricky but TIME PATROL gets the vote ahead of Fast Flo and Tilsworth Ony Ta.

Carnival Day is a course winner who was last seen filling the runner-up spot at Bath, so he has to be considered on his return to action. However, the vote goes to LEXINGTON KNIGHT, who could never lay a glove on the winner when second at Southwell last time, but lurks on an appealing mark. The seven-year-old struck over C&D off a 5lb higher rating last August and looks well placed to regain the winning thread. Macari completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to LEXINGTON KNIGHT (nap) who is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D on fast ground last summer.

Luna Effect hit the crossbar in this class over 1m4f at Lingfield in January and has to be respected off the same mark, but this drop in trip is a slight concern. With that in mind, FORMAL ADDRESS gets the vote. Brett Johnson's four-year-old made the frame at Lingfield in February and the assessor kindly left his mark alone for that effort. With a repeat, he could be the one to beat. Seraphic is another to keep an eye on.

Sawgrass is the dark horse but FORMAL ADDRESS was perhaps unlucky not to have gone really close on his handicap debut.

Otago made it two wins out of his last three starts at this track when last seen in October, but with both of those victories coming on soft ground, it may open the door for BLENHEIM STAR. William Knight's filly lost two places inside the last furlong to finish fourth at Yarmouth in September and she might take advantage of a 2lb lower rating for that performance. Marsh Benham is another to watch out for.

Jim Boyle's OTAGO ended last season with a clearcut win at this track and is a big player if he can pick up where he left off.

Although LIGHT UP OUR STARS was a little underwhelming when finishing fifth at Southwell 15 days ago, a switch to turf may perk him up. The veteran is effectively 6lb lower if taking Jordan Williams' 5lb claim into account and this contest looks ripe for the taking. The biggest threat may emerge from Boujee Gold, who is only 2lb higher than her Wolverhampton triumph in December last year. Flying Star is the pick of the remainder.

This can go to LIGHT UP OUR STARS who has shown he can handle fast ground and drops into a 0-55 for the first time.

Reverting to 1m saw a return to form from EMBARKED when finishing second in a 15-runner affair at Yarmouth seven days ago. A 2lb rise looks far from insurmountable for Scott Dixon's inmate and compensation could be on the horizon. Comedian Leader has posted several creditable efforts in defeat on the all-weather of late and she warrants consideration on this switch to turf, ahead of seasonal debutant Havana Mojito.

The choice is HELLAVAPACE who is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D on fast ground last September.
