THEY DON'T KNOW posted an improved effort when runner-up over C&D a week ago and looks the one to beat off the same mark. Early Morning Dew has proved to be competitive on all three appearances since having his first run for these connections in January and a first-time visor could aid his cause. Kenilworth King is capable on his day and should not be underestimated.

THEY DON'T KNOW posted his best effort for Tony Carroll when runner-up over C&D last week and can belatedly open his account. Early Morning Dew and Kenilworth King should also go well.

They Don't Know (second choice) and Early Morning Dew are serial losers so KENTUCKY KINGDOM is favoured.

MOUNTAIN QUEEN was denied by a neck at Southwell last month and she can regain the winning thread now faced with a stiffer test of stamina. Miss Harmony won at Lingfield recently and, despite being 1lb out of the handicap, she also merits consideration. Wynter Wildes likely to enjoy a return to the all-weather and completes the shortlist, along with Dal Mallart and My Little Queens.

The return to this longer trip will suit MOUNTAIN QUEEN, who failed only narrowly to make a winning handicap bow at Southwell last month and remains low mileage. My Little Queens and Wynter Wildes are feared most.

Having been in decent nick when last seen in the autumn, MY LITTLE QUEENS, who has also won fresh, could be the answer.

RHYTHM N HOOVES displayed a good attitude when winning at Newcastle recently and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to add to his tally. Beau Roc was five lengths behind in third on that occasion and may finish closer now 7lb better off at the weights, while Asian Queen showed plenty of promise on her return to action last month and is the pick of the remainder.

It's hard to get away from RHYTHM N HOOVES, who built on his promising debut when scoring at Newcastle earlier this month and should have more to offer yet. Beau Roc and Rhythmic Acclaim can fight it out for the minor honours.

This looks a good opportunity for RHYTHM N HOOVES to supplement his Newcastle win 13 days ago. He won with a bit in hand there.

Smith might go well after winning at Lingfield in February and, with six wins over two miles to his name, he may have a say here off his new mark. That said, WHAT WILL BE ran on well to win over shorter here last time and he could be the one off 3lb higher in the handicap. Huscari is the youngest in this field and may have more to offer after just four starts.

ROCK CHANT has got back on track in line with longer trips/being fitted with cheekpieces on AW, landing back-to-back events at around 2m before a sound third at Newcastle 4 weeks ago. He looks sure to go well again and earns the vote, with recent course winner What Will Be and Cedar Cage just 2 potential threats.

Having shown a good level of form at four different AW tracks of late, ROCK CHANT is fancied to take to Chelmsford and win.

Wiseacre was second at Wolverhampton last month and could get involved if finding some improvement, but preference is for SPIRITED GUEST. His last win was back in 2021 at Ascot but he has been keeping higher company in decent handicaps on turf. The seven-year-old runs off his lowest mark since winning over C&D in July 2021 and ought to find this level to his liking. The recent Lingfield fourth Epic Express is a tentative suggestion to follow them home.

ONE MORE DREAM has been holding his form well this year, running up to his best when second at Southwell 9 days ago, and he can build on his latest effort to record a second C&D success. Buckshaw Village stepped up on his reappearance run when making the frame here last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Epic Express.

Buckshaw Village is feared but a chance is taken on the dangerously well handicapped FIFTYSHADESOFRED.

Tony Carroll won this in 2021 and Night Traveller is coming back down the handicap. She could get involved along with C&D winner Thomas Equinas, who clearly likes it here, but a chance is taken on ANIFICAS BEAUTY. She won a novice contest at this venue in 2021 and looks all set for a decent effort on her first start of the season for a stable in great form.

MCQUEEN has been a largely consistent performer on the all-weather, quickly getting back to form when third here last time, and he can return to winning ways with this shorter trip to suit. Thomas Equinas also arrives in good heart and is feared most, with Global Tycoon the pick of the remainder.

This looks between Mcqueen and THOMAS EQUINAS (nap). The latter has a bit less to prove.

Runner-up over this trip at Kempton when last seen in October, it could be worth siding with the Ruth Carr-trained MONAADHIL on his return to action. He has only gone up 1lb for that run and can have a big say in proceedings, especially given he scored over C&D on his penultimate outing, albeit off 5lb lower. Ostilio and Thaayer are others with valid form claims and appear to be his most serious dangers.

MONAADHIL ended last year in good form, recording a second C&D win of the campaign on his penultimate outing, and he can continue in that vein with his yard going well. He is taken to see off the challenge of Cappananty Con who has dropped to a career-low mark, while Shining Crystal could also be capable of playing a part.

Although back from six months off, MONAADHIL hails from a yard in fair nick and was thriving when last seen so deserves the call.

SMOOTH RYDER has been knocking on the door of late and was not disgraced when filling the runner-up spot over 1m2f at this track last time out. He can have another big say in proceedings off the same mark here, but Sexy Rexy recorded an improved second over 1m4f at Wolverhampton a month ago and can give the selection plenty to think about. Vitani completes the shortlist.

SMOOTH RYDER again found only one too good on his latest start over 10f here 7 days ago and, well on top of the remainder then, he gets the nod to deservedly open his account now his stamina is tested further. Sexy Rexy can emerge as the chief threat.

Charlie Johnston's SMOOTH RYDER, who is verging on becoming frustrating, can't be opposed.
