CHARYN posted a number of creditable efforts at the highest level last year, perhaps most notably when finishing within four lengths of the exceptional Paddington at Royal Ascot. It had been a long season when he finished third behind the reopposing Knight (second) in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood, so it would come as no surprise were he to reverse that form now. Knight must be respected, though, with the first-time visor a potential source of improvement, while Holloway Boy can give a good account of himself. Last year's winner Astral Beau merits respect in receipt of weight from the boys, but this does look a deeper renewal.

A change of race for the curtain-raiser to the Turf Flat season and it's KNIGHT who gets the nod to come out on top back on a more conventional track for his seasonal return. Both his best efforts came when the mud was flying last season, so he's taken ahead of Charyn, who failed to get his head in front last season but was campaigned solely in pattern company. Last year's winner Astral Beau should relish conditions so she can fill out third.

A good renewal of this Listed prize, with KNIGHT is taken to confirm Celebration Mile superiority over Charyn.

Amo Racing hit the woodwork in the corresponding event 12 months ago, having landed the previous renewal with Persian Force. There might not be anything of that quality lining up, but their representative MYSTICAL ELEGANCE, a 45,000gns purchase and a half-sister to five winners, is likely to know her job and might have too much for the opposition. General Gordon is a half-brother to Hafeet Alain, who won his maiden over 6f here, so that offers some hope he could get involved. Others to note include Atherstone Warrior and Ettorino.

The betting will obviously provide more clues but the suggestion is MYSTICAL ELEGANCE, whose owner/trainer had one primed to go well in this last year and the 2022 winner also sported these silks. Darryll Holland is another who has readied one to go close in this in recent years so his Paddy's Courage is put forward as second choice ahead of Atherstone Warrior.

Based on purchase price and other factors, the vote goes to DUKES OF HAATHER. Mystical Elegance is feared most.

It might be worth taking a chance on HARSWELL DUKE, who made all to defeat the reopposing Titian off 8lb higher in this race last year. He should have been primed for this following a recent spin at Newcastle and any further rain will suit. Look Back Smiling is another who will relish forecast ground conditions, having recorded a course win on heavy ground when last seen 147 days ago. Lion Tower returned with a narrow second at Newcastle last month and he could be on the premises too, while Hortzadar, Wildfell and Clear Angel are just a few others to consider.

Plenty are in with a shout. Roger Fell took this 12 months ago and his HARSWELL DUKE is worth siding with given he should strip fitter for a recent Newcastle sixth and also now figures on a good mark after his C&D success in the mud last spring. Gary Moore's Magic Memories also handles these underfoot conditions really well and could emerge as the main threat ahead of handicap-debutant Helter Skelter and reliable duo Maysong and Titian.

A chance is taken on HELTER SKELTER, who lacks experience but is very unexposed by the same token. Harswell Duke is second choice.

Baradar finished third in last year's Lincoln and then struck on two occasions over shorter distances to improve his rating 8lb last season. His last run at Ascot in October was too bad to be true and he is likely to be thereabouts, but the vote goes to MARSHMAN. Karl Burke's colt finished second in the Gimcrack in 2022 and took a Group 3 at Chantilly over an extended 5f in April last year, so he could have too much speed for his main rival. Of the remainder, Montassib appeals most.

BARADAR was firmly on the up prior to seeming amiss at Ascot on his final outing last season but, freshened up, he's likely to put up a bold showing on return. Montassib is closely matched with the selection on form, so he's regarded as a big player along with Orazio.

Charlie Hills's ORAZIO looked a sprinter going places last spring and may get back on track if a gelding op has had a positive effect.

Chazzesmee justified strong market support to take the Irish Lincolnshire by a length on Monday and, providing that hasn't taken too much out of him, he could be a big player as he relishes these conditions. However, the vote goes to last year's winner of that Curragh contest LATTAM. The son of Lope De Vega clearly goes well fresh and he makes his return after finishing seventh behind The Gatekeeper at Ascot in October, for which he is 4lb better off. Last year's winner Migration and The Gatekeeper are others to watch out for.

LIBERTY LANE was impressive over this C&D on soft at last year's St Leger meeting and this relatively lightly-raced 4-y-o appeals as one who could have more to come in 2024. Chazzesmee was a good winner of the Irish version of this race on Monday and a 5 lb penalty won't prevent him making a bold bid for a notable double if coping with the quick turnaround. Awaal was second in this off an identical mark last year and also makes the shortlist along with Thunder Ball.

Having travelled well when winning the Irish Lincolnshire on Monday, CHAZZESMEE (nap) can defy a penalty and complete a notable double.

In what should be a very informative affair, it is hard to look past the once-raced HARPER'S FERRY. Ed Walker's charge made a pleasing start when finishing a narrow second over a mile at Newmarket last October and, with the promise of more to come now he's upped in trip, the son of Lope De Vega looks the one to side with. Better can be expected from 1,500,000gns purchase King's Reign, who kept on into fourth when sent off favourite for his debut over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month, while Moon Over Miami also commands respect.

Several promising types on show here with ANCIENT MYTH marginally preferred to Harper's Ferry. The latter is the only one of these with an entry in the Derby and he shaped with a great deal of promise on his sole 2-y-o start but Ancient Myth's debut at Wolverhampton was also very encouraging and the Godolphin colt who beat him that day could turn out to be pretty smart. King's Reign represents the 'boys in blue' in this maiden and he also respected, along with Wild Waves.

Top of the list is HARPER'S FERRY whose promising second at Newmarket last autumn came unheralded by the market.

In a typically wide-open affair, the drop in trip may prove fruitful for connections of AWTAAD PRINCE. Amy Murphy's charge arrives on the back of a solid third over 1m4f at Lingfield and, off an unchanged mark back on the turf, he gets the vote to show his rivals the way home. Dangers are aplenty and headed by At Liberty, who races off just 1lb higher than when finishing an excellent second at Wolverhampton most recently, while Fifty Sent kept on well for third over a mile at Newcastle when last seen and now looks the perfect time to go back up to 10 furlongs.

David O'Meara has his string in good order and it could be worth chancing his 4-y-o BUSTAAM. He shaped with definite encouragement on his penultimate start at Newcastle in November and, with his subsequent run at that venue best overlooked, he's of interest back on turf from a career-low mark. At Liberty arrives fit and in-form from the all-weather and he's a player in refitted cheekpieces. Moonlit Cloud and Mrs Meader complete the shortlist.

A few of these will handle the conditions, including AT LIBERTY who may well improve on his recent AW form now back on turf.

DESTINADO gave the impression that his turn could be just around the corner when finishing second over 1m3f at Southwell last week, pulling clear with the eventual winner. Off a 1lb higher mark, he can make this return to turf a winning one. The forecast underfoot conditions should hold no fears for Fen Tiger, who was last seen finishing a close second over 1m4f at Brighton in September. He rates the main danger to the selection, while Val Bassett represents an in-form stable and completes the shortlist.

DESTINADO has been in fine form on the all-weather this year, winning 4 times and pulling clear of the rest when runner-up at Southwell last week, so he is taken to add to his tally back on turf. Chagall hasn't been seen to best effect on his last couple of starts and is respected, while Eleven Eleven is another who enters calculations.

Destinado comes here in good form from the AW but VAL BASSETT will be suited by conditions and is well treated now.
