Mariner has to be respected following two wins in recent weeks, but he is unproven over this far and that is a concern. As a result, preference is for L'EAGLE AID, who was narrowly denied when last seen at Ayr in September and a 1lb rise should not prevent a bold bid on his return to action. Fast Fred is another to consider.

It would be a surprise were L'EAGLE AID not up to winning off this mark. The longer trip is the concern with Mariner.

FAST TRACK HARRY struggled in Listed company on his final start last year but his previous success at Newbury suggests that he could be hard to stop at this level. Zubaru displayed plenty of promise when second on his racecourse bow at Newmarket in November and he could prove to be the main danger. Any market support for either of Glamorous Angela or Twilight Ice would have to be noted.

Clive Cox's FAST TRACK HARRY brings much the best form to the table and can quickly resume winning ways now he has his sights lowered.

CALL ME BY MY NAME took a big step forward when filling second place over an extended 5f at Chester earlier in the month and James Horton's colt could be hard to stop if finding further progression here. Believeinmenow and Wateen both hit the crossbar on their racecourse debuts and are likely to be in the mix once again. All of the newcomers make some appeal, but Echoofmymind is just the pick of them.

A few with chances but there was a lot to like about the Thirsk debut second of BELIEVEINMENOW and he gets the verdict.

Twilight Romance finally added to his maiden success when scoring at Leicester last month. He could prove competitive once again, given the runner-up has subsequently won, but PALS BATTALION is taken to edge this contest. The latter showed progressive form when winning three times on the all-weather over the winter, and can launch another strong challenge having finished runner-up at Thirsk a fortnight ago. Rock Opera showed signs of a resurgence when second at Pontefract and could shape well.

Almarada Prince is better than he showed on his stable debut but TWILIGHT ROMANCE (nap) can defy a 6lb rise for his Leicester win.

TAWASOL returned to 6f at Brighton and made every yard to win a maiden race with the minimum of fuss. The son of Havana Grey looks potentially well handicapped, given the ease of that success, and could prove tough to catch if allowed his own way in front. Dothan made a winning start in handicaps when scoring over the minimum trip here. There looks more to come from him over this extra furlong, while Alpha Magic is another unexposed type who could also feature.

Dothan is a big player but Tawasol and ALPHA MAGIC are handicap newcomers of some interest.

QUEEN OF GOOD NEWS was too keen to do herself justice on her reappearance at Nottingham, but it was a different story when keeping on for third over 7f here three weeks ago. The daughter of Advertise ought to relish a return to a mile on that evidence and from 1lb lower, she can go close. Blue Train went agonisingly close at Windsor last time out and is respected under similar conditions, while others to note include Homeland and Mini Mac.

Related to numerous useful winners, HOMELAND gets the nod having chased home a sharp improver on his comeback last month.

Although unproven at this trip, Haptics kept on well enough over 1m4f here a fortnight ago to suggest it could suit him. However, the vote goes to Nottingham scorer COCK AND BULL. Michael Bell's gelding was progressive last season but his latest performance was a career-best, offering hope there might be much more to come from the son of Make Believe. Clockmaker heads the remainder.

A case to be made for most but COCK AND BULL is very reliable and there may be a bit more to come from him for his in-form yard.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
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. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
