6/1 (3) HOOTS TOOTS has a good chance of winning, as they have just won in good style after a 6 month break and are bidding for a 4th win. 10/1 (10) ALBESEEINGYER is another strong contender, having ended 2022 with a hat-trick and showing promise for more success this year. 6/1 (16) TWO SUMMERS and 11/1 (5) TRIGGERED also have potential to be in the running.

HOOTS TOOTS picked up where he left off last year when making a successful return to action over this trip at Thirsk, and a 5lb rise looks unlikely to stop him following up here. The gelded son of Outstrip kept on to prevail by a length and a quarter on that occasion and there is likely more in his locker. Albeseeingyer was last seen completing a three-timer of her own at Redcar in September and has to be feared on her comeback, while recent Wolverhampton winner Lincoln Gamble completes the shortlist.

Any number to consider but TWO SUMMERS has shaped well in a couple of handicaps back on turf in recent weeks and looks the way to go back in trip. Hoots Toots bidding for a 4-timer and the likeable Albeseeingyer are a couple of the other principal challengers.

The return to turf is a potential banana skin but DAAFY needs a good pace to aim at and he may finally get that today.

Based on the summary, 0.8/1 (2) UNITED APPROACH and 2.5/1 (10) SMOKY MOUNTAIN seem to be the ones with the most potential and are likely to do well in the upcoming race. 0.8/1 (2) UNITED APPROACH has already demonstrated an impressive performance in Ayr, while 2.5/1 (10) SMOKY MOUNTAIN has shown promise in recent races despite being bumped into a smart filly. 7.5/1 (8) LEAP DAY also has potential as a promising sort with room for improvement. On the other hand, 40/1 (3) ACRESWOOD and 80/1 (11) SWANLAND may be best to be watched on this occasion as newcomers, while 200/1 (1) NOOO MORE has an unimpressive track record.

A 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop UNITED APPROACH, who confirmed the promise of his Ascot introduction when justifying favouritism at Ayr in September. Billy Loughnane negates most of the penalty with his 5lb claim and James Tate's colt appears to have a bright future ahead of him. Desert Games was beaten less than a length into fourth at Pontefract and can step forward from that reappearance. Smoky Mountain chased home a smart filly at Wolverhampton and completes the shortlist on his turf debut.

With UNITED APPROACH's penalty largely negated by top apprentice Billy Loughnane's claim, the Fastnet Rock colt is taken to add to his ready success in an Ayr maiden on the second of his two starts as a juvenile. Smoky Mountain has shaped well in a couple of runs over 7f on the all-weather and will be a threat if coping with this drop in trip. Leap Day's debut third at Newcastle was promising and he is best of the rest.

Leap Day shaped well on debut but UNITED APPROACH looked a promising sprinter when winning easily at Ayr when last in action.

3.5/1 (1) TYKE is the most likely to do well, having won a maiden race recently and showing promise to improve. 1.25/1 (12) ROYAL DRESS C&D also has strong form and is a contender, while 9/1 (13) STORMY DENISE and 14/1 (11) ELUSIVE ANGEL are live each-way candidates. The rest of the field either lack experience or have not shown much promise recently.

TALHA filled the runner-up spot on both juvenile starts - most recently over C&D - and has been gelded during his winter break. Better is expected of the son of Havana Grey this year and he could be worth siding with, although Royal Dress was steadily progressive last summer and bumped into subsequent Oh So Sharp winner/Breeders' Cup fourth Midnight Mile, also over track and trip. Tyke is another who could have a say in proceedings, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for his debut Southwell triumph.

This looks a good opportunity for ROYAL DRESS, who shaped well on each of her three starts as a juvenile, culminating in a C&D second to Midnight Mile. The winner followed up in a Group 3 before finishing fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, so the form is very solid. Tyke made a highly promising start at Southwell a fortnight ago but he'll need to be pretty useful in order to successfully concede 12 lb to the selection. Stormy Denise and Talha are each-way players.

Talha should win races this year but ROYAL DRESS can make a successful return to action. Her C&D second when last seen is good form.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

4.5/1 (9) EQUATORIAL is likely to do well based on the summary. The horse has a strong pedigree and the trainer has a good record with newcomers. The fact that the horse is wearing a hood suggests that the trainer may have identified some potential behavior issues and is taking steps to address them, indicating that the trainer is invested in the horse's success. The market may also give an indicator of how well 4.5/1 (9) EQUATORIAL is expected to perform.

SUPREME KING looked as if he failed to see out the mile in handicap company at Newmarket's Craven meeting, but he has plenty of solid placed form to recommend him and the return to a maiden might help him break through. Equatorial looks the part on paper as a son of Showcasing and he could go well for Roger Varian, while the Ed Walker-trained Sherood cost 130,000gns as a foal so the Night Of Thunder colt is also worth a market watch ahead of his racecourse bow.

Having finished runner-up 4 times already, SUPREME KING sets a pretty solid standard so Richard Hannon's colt is fancied to go a place better back in maiden company. Harry Eustace's runners tend to come on plenty for a run so his Bill Silvers could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Eddie Temple and newcomer Lowton another couple worth considering.

Although now 0-7 SUPREME KING sets a useful standard including on his two performances this year.

Based on the summary, it seems that 2.5/1 (4) WONDER LEGEND and 3.5/1 (3) WESTERTON are the most promising horses for this race. 2.5/1 (4) WONDER LEGEND has won a maiden race and is now venturing down the handicap route, and the longer trip should suit his style. 3.5/1 (3) WESTERTON, on the other hand, has been a runner-up in a maiden race and is expected to do well now that he's on handicap debut and running in a longer trip. While 9/1 (5) MINDSET and 4.5/1 (7) DENIS ANTHONY are also promising horses, they may be outmatched by the other contenders.

HOPE YOU CAN RUN takes a drop in class after finishing third in a good nursery at Newmarket on his final start as a two-year-old. Although he has to give weight away to all his rivals, the added two furlongs here might see plenty of improvement. Wonder Legend got back up to take his maiden at Wolverhampton and is one to consider on his turf/handicap debut, though Mindset may prove the bigger danger now stepping up to the trip he was bred for as a son of New Approach.

The two that appeal most are WESTERTON and Wonder Legend. Marginal preference is for the former, who took a step forward when runner-up in a Nottingham maiden on his final start of 2022 (dual subsequent winner Like A Tiger back in third) and further progress is anticipated now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut. Wonder Legend has improved with each of his three starts on the all-weather and will be a big threat if taking to turf, while Denis Anthony is another likely improver.

Several of these are open to more improvement, but WONDER LEGEND is race-fit having got off the mark at Wolverhampton this month.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, the following horses seem to have some potential: - 2.75/1 (7) INVISIBLE FRIEND: This horse has not been seen since winning easily in August and is described as unexposed. The summary states that improvement is on the cards, which could make them a contender. - 3.5/1 (6) MY LITTLE QUEENS: This horse won in fine style at Chelmsford City and had a career best performance. While they are higher in weight for this race, they are still considered a possibility. - 6.5/1 (1) MISS DOWN UNDER: This horse is expected to do better in this race after their third-place finish in their last race. They will be wearing cheekpieces again, which could improve their performance. - 12/1 (5) SILVER SCREEN: Although their last two performances were modest, this horse has placed in previous races and has possibilities now that they are up in distance. - 16/1 (10) VALLAMOREY: This horse is making their handicap debut and the summary suggests that they may

Compliant will try to make her fitness advantage pay after winning at Kempton in February before a close-up third at Newcastle the following month, but she is yet to prove her worth on the grass and INVISIBLE FRIEND may be the one. Third on her Haydock debut, she won very easily at Carlisle, despite showing signs of her inexperience, and could be in for a successful season with any further improvement. My Little Queens also makes the shortlist after her Chelmsford triumph.

The unexposed INVISIBLE FRIEND looks the way to go having shown plenty of promise on her two starts last summer, finishing third to a subsequent listed winner on debut at Haydock prior to landing the odds in a 9f Carlisle novice. She is probably capable of better than her opening mark would imply. Miss Down Under is likely to come on for her reappearance spin on the all-weather and is feared back at what appears to be her optimum trip. Silver Screen and Vallamorey both make some each-way appeal.

The choice is MISS DOWN UNDER who looked in need of her reappearance. This trip suits her better and she wouldn't mind any more rain.

4/1 (5) QUERCUS ROBUR is likely to do well in this race based on the summary. They have had four wins from their last nine starts and were a clear second in their last race. They have also won at the distance of this race and are described as

Several of these are old rivals and it's likely this will be a tactical affair. With that in mind, it might be worth chancing that PRINCE ABU adapts to turf well enough to exploit the fact he gets weight all round, and he could be good value to stage a repeat of December's defeat of Quercus Robur on the Tapeta at Southwell. Star Angel and Cogital are also closely matched on past form and complete the shortlist, in that order of preference.

QUERCUS ROBUR has developed into a reliable sort and continues in good heart having pulled clear of the rest when runner-up off this mark at Catterick 16 days ago. He shades the vote over Justus and Star Angel in what looks a competitive event.

Preference is for QUERCUS ROBUR (nap) who has won four of his last nine starts and stays this trip well.

Based on the summary, 3/1 (5) VASILISSA seems like a good bet as she has recently won a handicap on the polytrack and is expected to perform just as well on the grass, especially with her in-form claimer. 4.5/1 (2) INSPIRED KNOWHOW is also worth considering as he has shown promise in his previous races and may benefit from the step up in trip, but his lack of experience on turf may be a concern. The other horses don't have as strong of a case based on their recent performances and/or lack of experience, but it's always wise to keep an eye on the market and see if any surprising developments arise before making a final prediction.

Several of these are open to improvement as they are develop as handicappers and the likes of Inspired Knowhow, Rockonmecca and Juryman all merit betting checks. However, VASILISSA took a big step forward when she won over this trip at Kempton 16 days ago and, from just 1lb higher, she is an appealing option now switched to turf. With her yard in good form and Alec Voikhansky keeping the partnership intact, the daughter of Kingman could be the answer in a tough one to call.

An ultra-competitive finale in which the suggestion is VASILISSA, who did well under the circumstances given the lack of pace to open her account at Kempton just over a fortnight ago, and operating from just a 1 lb higher mark, she's fancied to double her tally. Inspired Knowhow should have more to offer making his turf debut, so he heads up the opposition, with Juryman and Annie Law rounding off the shortlist.

The vote goes to JURYMAN who has run well in his last four starts and gives the impression he has improvement in him.
