The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Stroxx held on to make all in a classified stakes at Chelmsford on his latest outing and he has to be considered on his return to the handicap ranks. However, the vote goes to ZOOM STAR, who failed to justify favouritism over C&D in October, but she was far from disgraced in fourth that day. Bryan Smart's mare is 1lb lower and can make a winning return to action. Rockley Point completes the shortlist after his narrow Newcastle defeat.

A tight-knit handicap in which veteran ROCKLEY POINT edges the vote on the back of his good recent Newcastle second. Fellow C&D scorer Captain Corcoran could emerge as the main danger if, as expected, building on his reappearance seventh in the same race. Golden Gal is another who could have a say if back on her A-game.

Two-time course winner GOLDEN GAL has dropped back down to her last winning mark and could improve for last month's reappearance run.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Sergeant Mayer filled the runner-up spot on each of his last three starts back in August and September, and he remains on the same rating so is likely to be thereabouts. However, preference is for CRACK THE KODE, who struck by a short head over track and trip in October. Kevin Ryan's gelding is 3lb higher, but can continue his upward curve on his return to the fray and make it three wins out of his last four. Handicap debutant Big Blue Boy warrants a market check in a first-time tongue-tie.

WICHAHPI enjoyed a good first season and is taken to start 2024 in style with the form of her closing Newcastle second looking strong. Stash The Cash appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping so is next on the list ahead of the handily-weighted Ninety Nine.

Wichahpi is greatly respected but the class-dropping NINETY NINE is interesting on her peak 2yo efforts.

BONNE VITESSE has failed to fire in three spins over timber since hitting the crossbar in a class 5 event over 2m2f at Pontefract in October. Micky Hammond's mare is only 1lb higher on her return to the Flat and should relish conditions so she gets the nod. The main threat might be Heatherdown Hero, who won and finished second in two starts at Newcastle last month and he has to be respected on his return to the turf. Carlton is another to note.

SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH revels under these underfoot conditions and is fancied to bounce back to form in style from a winning mark and follow up her success in this event a year ago. Newcastle runner-up Heatherdown Hero appeals as the one to give Simon West's mare most to do, although a solid case can also be made for in-form pair Carlton and Lexington Hero.

A pretty useful hurdler, CLEAR WHITE LIGHT hasn't had many chances on the Flat and he ran well in a handicap here last April.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Unlucky not to get his head in front towards the back end of last season, EYE OF DUBAI is likely to relish the step up in trip and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get his three-year-old campaign off to the perfect start. Elemental Eye wasn't far away on his handicap debut at Ayr, while newcomer Moon Solitaire is a half-sister to Abbaye winner Wizz Kid so must be monitored for market support.

EYE OF DUBAI shaped with a good deal of promise when finishing runner-up on each of his 2 starts as a juvenile during the autumn and, gelded ahead of his return, he looks a big player with further progress anticipated. Moon Solitaire makes plenty of appeal for a yard adept at readying a newcomer and is respected, with Elemental Eye completing the shortlist.

This can go to the newly gelded EYE OF DUBAI, who has shown enough in two starts to suggest he has a race of this nature in him.

AL MUQDAD may have only had the one start on turf, for previous connections, but he is a half-brother to a Listed winner on the surface and there should be more to come after recently breaking the maiden at Newcastle. A winner of three of his last four C&D starts, Mutanaaseq can follow the selection home, with others to note including Beauty Choice, Camacho Star and Sir Maxi.

A competitive contest and it could just be worth chancing bottom-weight LANGHOLM. Runner-up on his return over C&D 12 months ago, he comes here operating from a handy mark and conditions will hold no fears for Michael Dods's 8-y-o. Camacho Star, back on turf, and Eight Mile are others to consider, with Al Muqdad and Beauty Choice others entering the reckoning.

Although recent Newcastle scorer AL MUQDAD (nap) is yet to run on testing ground, he has plenty of soft-ground winners in his pedigree.

KNICKS capped off his juvenile campaign with a victory over the now 83-rated Eminny at Nottingham in September. Now 4lb higher ahead of his return to action/stable debut, this mark should be well within range and he is expected to mount a stern challenge. A high draw is far from ideal for Artistic Mission, but he might appreciate the switch to turf and first-time blinkers. Others to note include Shelbourne and C&D winner Act Of Violence.

SOUL SINGER needs to prove his effectiveness on this ground but he's been knocking firmly on the door on all-weather in recent weeks and could well be the way to go. Shelbourne, with a reappearance run under his belt, is feared back on turf along with Knicks, who will have no issues with forecast conditions. C&D winner Act of Violence is another who can do better this campaign.

The filly LAST APPLAUSE showed promise last autumn, including when winning a novice here, and she gets the nod on her handicap debut.

Impressor was a model of consistency last year, but his record following a break would have to temper enthusiasm slightly. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on MERSEA. The daughter of Born To Sea shaped with more promise than the beaten distance would suggest at Wolverhampton last month and, from a 2lb lower mark, she could take advantage. John Kirkup remains well treated on past exploits and must enter the reckoning, while fellow veteran Redrosezorro loves it around here and is no back number.

TRILBY is still a maiden but he ran well on his final 2 outings last year and is selected to make a winning return. Slainte Mhath could bounce back on her return to action, while Mersea should appreciate this marked drop in grade.

The mare SLAINTE MHATH won three times last year and is taken to continue the good work with another victory on her reappearance.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
