A first-time hood worked a treat for recent Chelmsford scorer TEN CLUB and providing he proves as effective on his turf debut, the son of Dandy Man should prove tough to beat under a 6lb penalty. The main threat may emerge from the Marco Botti-trained Say You'll Never, who posted a respectable third on her handicap bow at Wolverhampton last month. Fellow in-form rival Pannonica shouldn't be far away either.

TEN CLUB turned a Chelmsford handicap into a one-sided affair a week ago and assuming he's as effective on turf, the follow up looks firmly under the cards. Pannonica was runner-up to the selection in that aforementioned race and better off at the weights this time, may chase him home again.

It's hard to rule out any of these but the most striking contender is TEN CLUB, who put in a dominant display at Chelmsford last week.

COILED was far from disgraced on his C&D third recently and a reproduction of that performance could prove sufficient. Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding should put his experience to good use and he rates the one to beat. Newcomer Sir Geoff Morgan boasts a speedy pedigree and any market support for the Soldier's Call colt would be interesting. Kimmico is entitled to build on her debut third at Kempton last month and she also enters the reckoning.

LOVESTRUCK ROMEO is an early foal and has presumably been showing a fair amount of dash at home given his Super Sprint entry, so he could be the way to go on debut. Coiled already has 2 runs under his belt, latterly over this C&D, and that experience could take him a long way here, with Sir Geoff Morgan another likely-looking type on paper.

This can go to COILED, who sets a fair standard on his improved third over C&D last time and represents a yard that won this last year.

Juantorena made a satisfactory comeback when third in a class 3 event at Kempton in March and Andrew Balding's gelding warrants respect dropped in grade. However, there is a sneaking suspicion that LUNAR STREETS could have benefitted from a winter break and she's taken to build on her encouraging handicap bow when third at Ayr in September. Treasure Storm goes handicapping off what looks a workable mark and the daughter of Expert Eye could also feature prominently.

LET'S GET EM got back on track switched to a handicap when fourth at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and with this slight step up in trip sure to suit, he's the most appealing option. Juantorena is a solid rival, with Enpassant dangerous if keeping his attitude in check.

This looks tricky but JUANTORENA gets the vote ahead of Lunar Streets, Enpassant and the handicap newcomer Treasure Storm.

Trainer Jim Boyle looks to have strong claims in this contest with both The Conqueror and IREZUMI, and it may be the latter who is the one to focus on this time around. The son of Hawkbill ran right up to his best when narrowly denied over C&D last month and he must hold every chance if building upon that effort off 1lb higher. A determined winner himself over track and trip on the same day, Chourmo is a key player, along with Cryptos Dream, who is of interest on her first start for new connections.

THE CONQUEROR finished behind the well-ridden Chourmo over C&D 11 days ago but he's 3 lb better off this time and his profile is more convincing, so he may be able to turn the tables. Irezumi was an excellent second here last time and is another to consider.

Preference is for CHOURMO, who made his breakthrough over C&D 11 days ago and is only 2lb higher here.

BUY THE DIP didn't get the clearest of runs when making his return at Kempton last month, but that should have brought him on, and returning to a C&D he won over last October is a major plus. He gets the vote ahead of Eight Mile, who has dropped to a mark 3lb lower than his latest success and should appreciate going back up in distance. A stablemate of the selection, Otago goes well around here and is another to note.

BUY THE DIP shaped well on his return at Kempton and this C&D winner is potentially on a good mark back on turf, so gets the vote over stablemate Otago, who is working his way back nicely. Eight Mile is another to consider off a tempting mark.

Preference is for triple course winner OTAGO, who is versatle ground-wise and is only 1lb higher than for his win here in October.

MUDLAHHIM has caught the eye on a couple of occasions of late, including when making late headway for fourth over C&D last month. The eight-year-old has been dropped 2lb for that effort, which could prove lenient, and this may be as good an opportunity as any to finally gain a first win on turf. He could see off the in-form Ballybaymoonshiner, who has won two of his last four on the all-weather. Dequinto might also have a say in proceedings.

Most of these are more familiar with the AW so it could be worth chancing ADACE, who wasn't seen to best effect on her return and won on her most recent start on turf in the summer. Heer's Sadie won twice over this C&D last summer and is weighted to go close again, while Ballybaymoonshiner has been thriving on the AW this year.

Top of the list is BALLYBAYMOONSHINER (nap), who is 2-4 this year and is a big player if he can transfer his progress back to turf.
