Denied by the narrowest of margins at Lingfield last time out over 5f, RECON MISSION may be winless since July 2022 but this appeals as an ideal opportunity. Another bold showing looks assured and the veteran is preferred to Windsor third Little Miss Magic, as well as Secret Handsheikh, who is a real course specialist boasting figures of 4-8 over track and trip.

SECRET HANDSHEIKH has scored in good style on his last two visits to this course and John Gallagher's charge is taken to add another C&D success to his tally. Recon Mission deserves to get his head in front and is feared most on the back of his Lingfield near miss and Little Miss Magic should also be on the premises. Marching Mac will also be a threat if sidestepping Monday's Yarmouth engagement in favour this assignment.

Being an interesting contender with Alfie Redman back on board, LITTLE MISS MAGIC is preferred. Secret Handsheikh is second choice.

Now that the penny has dropped for KILTEEL after a determined success on her nursery debut at Newcastle last month, there is likely to be plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can overcome a 4lb rise. Me Tarzan shaped with promise when keeping on from off the pace to grab fourth at Kempton latest and he is a key player, along with Samujana and Cassandraalexandra.

KILTEEL showed much-improved form when opening her account at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, seeing off another handicap debutant in the process and she looks to hold sound claims from a 4 lb higher mark in her follow-up bid. Me Tarzan, who wasn't seen to best effect on his latest outing at Kempton, course-winner Cassandraalexandra and another nursery debutante Samujana are others to consider.

Preference is for CASSANDRAALEXANDRA who displayed progressive form here prior to a below-par run on last month's AW debut.

A major improver when keeping on in second over 7f here last month, TWILIGHT MOON is bred to improve for going up to a mile and she may be able to strike with Kaiya Fraser taking off a useful 3lb in the plate. Over a length behind the reopposing Dapper Gee Gee (second) when third at Chepstow last time out, Dalmally was much too keen from the front on that occasion and better is expected now.

A low-grade maiden. TWILIGHT MOON likely has a bigger performance in her and she can improve past Dalmally. Gold Hill is the interesting newcomer.

The return to slow ground could be a major boost for the recently gelded DAPPER GEE GEE. Epimeteo may be a danger on debut.

Irezumi wasn't seen to best effect when finishing third over this track and trip last month but, granted a smoother passage this time, he must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. That said, FEN TIGER edges preference. He was narrowly denied in a similar event over C&D latest and, nudged up 1lb, it would be no surprise if he were able to go one place better. Fullforward is another noteworthy contender.

FEN TIGER looks the way to go following his near miss over this C&D. He remains feasibly treated up 1 lb and should have too much for C&D winners Cloudy Rose and Largo Bay, while Irezumi is also worthy of consideration.

On the back of a solid C&D effort, FEN TIGER could well end his losing spell. Irezumi is feared most.

The combination of the reapplication of blinkers (retained) and the drop back to this trip saw LITTLE TIGER run out a ready winner at Leicester when last seen and, returning from a break off 3lb higher, he looks the one to side with. A 3lb rise for a recent C&D victory shouldn't prevent Fighting Poet from going well, while Reel Power can also get involved on his debut for a new yard.

Assuming LITTLE TIGER is raring to go following a three-month break he will have every chance of adding to his Leicester success in July. A winner here on two of his last three starts, Fighting Poet looks set for another bold show and he is second choice ahead of Mrembo and The Conqueror.

Judged on his recent course form, FIGHTING POET holds particularly solid claims. Eljaytee is second choice.

DESERT FOOTSTEPS took a big step forward when making a winning handicap debut over a mile at Chepstow last month and the three-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that effort, despite a 6lb rise. Roscioli did not appear the relish the drop to 7f when last seen but is a player based on his previous efforts over this trip, while Lady Ava is the pick of the remainder.

Conditions are unlikely to be as fast here as they were at Chepstow when DESERT FOOTSTEPS made a winning handicap debut last month. However, if conditions prove suitable this unexposed filly is likely to prove too good for these rivals. Poetic Force and Roscioli are taken to fill the places, with Lady Ava also likely to be vying for minor honours.

Chepstow winner DESERT FOOTSTEPS (nap) is taken to show further improvement and follow up. Lady Ava is second choice.

MUY MUY GUAPO caught the eye when staying on well for third over 6f here three weeks ago and he has to be of interest upped in trip off the same mark. The recent Chelmsford winner Blue Collar Lad is an obvious threat to the selection, while Kondratiev Wave edges out James Park Woods to be best of the rest.

Having slipped to a potentially very handy mark BOBBY DASSLER is of interest on his debut for the Michael Wigham yard. The hint should be taken if this 5-y-o, who is equipped with a first-time hood, is strong in the betting. Kondratiev Wave and Blue Collar Lad both arrive here in good order and are feared most in that order of preference.

The consistent KONDRATIEV WAVE can post his third course win. Blue Collar Lad has done very well since joining Daniel Steele.
