Freedom Flyer made a big impression when scoring by two and a half lengths over this trip at Thirsk last week, but he is also declared to run at Wolverhampton on Tuesday evening, so preference lies with the Ruth Carr-trained SPANISH ANGEL. A comfortable winner over this trip at Wolverhampton last month, he races off a 5lb lower mark on his return to turf and can have a big say in proceedings here. Captain Corcoran and Hot Scoop are others of interest.

Ruth Carr holds a strong hand here with FREEDOM FLYER and Spanish Angel of particular interest. Both arrive on the back of recent wins, and while the latter has a very handy turf mark to exploit, the former is just preferred given the ease of his success at Thirsk. Isle of Dreams is a threat if fully wound up for this.

Soft-ground C&D winner CAPTAIN CORCORAN was a promising fourth on his recent reappearance at Thirsk and earns the vote.

A fairly weak contest in which it could pay to side with SHINE'S AMBITION, who must hold every chance of building on a disappointing fourth at Southwell on his return to action last month. A switch back to turf may have a positive effect and he races off a 3lb lower mark today. South Dakota Sioux and Montelusa are others who warrant respect and they are worth a market check.

The betting should prove useful but SHINE'S AMBITION ought to be sharper for his comeback run at Southwell 5 weeks ago and, having been given a chance by the assessor, he could well make a bold bid returned to handicap-company. South Dakota Sioux, who ran well himself recently, is next best, ahead of Premier Option.

It may prove best to concentrate on the handicap newcomers GRANDAD BOB and Jamie Bond in that order of preference.

This represents a drop in class for MISTER CAMACHO, who kept on well for third over 1m4f at Doncaster earlier this month. He retains the mark from that run and can get closer now up in trip, but Golden Keeper filled the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton on his latest outing last November and should not be taken lightly. Quercus Robur completes the shortlist.

MISTER CAMACHO remains a maiden but shaped well with a view to stepping back up in trip when third at Doncaster (11.9f) 10 days ago and he gets the narrow vote to come out on top with forecast ground conditions also holding no fears. Golden Keeper and Quercus Robur are a couple of others to consider.

The in-form QUERCUS ROBUR is taken to get back to winning ways by beating Master Camacho and Gift Of Raaj.

Divine Libra posted two sound efforts in defeat on the all-weather during his last campaign and Charlie Hills' inmate appears a leading contender on this seasonal debut. Nevertheless, the son of Dark Angel has yet to prove his effectiveness on the turf and THREE YORKSHIREMEN rates as a more solid proposition. The selection shaped better than the beaten distance suggested over 1m at York in October and he should appreciate this return to 7f. Any market support for newcomer Nine Six Five is also worth noting.

DIVINE LIBRA couldn't quite match his debut form when fourth in a Newcastle novice back in November but he was a shade keener than ideal and, back from a break, he could be up to getting off the mark now switched to turf. Three Yorkshiremen, who set a similar standard himself as a juvenile, is feared, with newcomer Nine Six Five well worthy of note also.

Back at novice level THREE YORKSHIREMEN holds strong claims on form. Divine Libra and Nine Six Five are feared most.

Miss Calculation regained the winning thread when finding the underfoot conditions to her liking at Thirsk last Tuesday and John Quinn's filly isn't taken lightly now shouldering a 5lb penalty. The majority of her rivals are making their return to action and it may pay to take a chance on SPECIAL MAYSON, who finished fourth in last year's renewal of this contest. The five-year-old have may benefitted from some time off and boasts a C&D triumph to his name. Legal Reform and Beauty Choice are just two others to note in an open-looking event.

A competitive race of its type and it may pay to side with METABOLT. Best excused his final start last term, he'd previously caught the eye at Chester and his mark looks an exploitable one. Recent Thirsk winner Miss Calculation heads up the dangers along with Special Mayson and Motawaazy.

The lightly raced 4yo METABOLT has potential off his current mark and is preferred to Langholm, who has a good record here.

Sugarpiehoneybunch got off the mark at the 18th time of asking when she swathed through with a late rattle over this trip at Thirsk eight days ago and is respected again, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. The versatile Lord Torranaga also enters calculations given that he is effective at this course and is on a handy mark. However, COCONUT BAY is unexposed on turf and she could have more to give now he's tried in a hood over a new trip.

With the Lucinda Russell team in very good form a chance is taken on handicap newcomer SCOTTISH WIND, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Trailblazer could be a threat if a disappointing run at Newcastle last time can be put down to the absence of headgear (back on now). Last week's Thirsk winner Sugarpiehoneybunch should also be competitive under a penalty.

With conditions in his favour, the unexposed SCOTTISH WIND (nap) is taken to get off the mark. Glory And Honour is next best.

RIVER USK showed ability in a couple of nurseries last autumn and looks an interesting proposition here. The son of Dandy Man resumes from the same mark as when he was a good third over 7f at Leicester last time out in October and, with the drop in trip likely to suit, he could take advantage from a handy draw. Tantalus has shown improvement on the all-weather and is feared most, while Silverlode could find more with first-time cheekpieces applied.

SHOT made a winning start for her new stable at Lingfield last time and Johnny Peate's claim amounts to more than the rise she's been handed, so she's worth a chance to follow up. Tantalus is in form and looks a danger, while River Usk can get involved if ready for this reappearance.

In a trappy race AURORA GLORY, who ran so well on her handicap debut, just gets the vote ahead of Thornaby Beauty.
