Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ANCIENT TIMES got his head back in front at Doncaster last week and conditions should be in his favour once more as he looks to follow up. The seven-year-old is still 22lb below his career-high mark and it may be that Jungle Run gives him the most to think about following an all-the-way victory at Leicester, for which he has been raised 2lb. Both successful at Chelmsford last time out, Diamond Dreamer and Nogo's Dream are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

This is highly competitive but JUNGLE RUN is only 2lb higher than for his recent Leicester win and he gets the vote.

A major eyecatcher on her second run for the Gosdens when narrowly denied in the Snowdrop at Kempton, CRIMSON ADVOCATE is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming at this distance and she can go one better. A consistent sort last season, which included a Listed success at Newmarket, Sirona is expected to be thereabouts on her return to action. Bright Thunder should come on for a respectable effort in Group 3 company at the Curragh, while course winner Chic Colombine cannot be ruled out either.

Dual Listed winner SIRONA (nap) has leading claims on her best form and she may be able to defy top weight on her return to action.

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

A winner over hurdles at Stratford on his penultimate outing, BELIEVITANDUCAN showed plenty of promise on his return to the level when second at Kempton. Alan King's charge is only 4lb higher than for his success at Beverley last summer and he gets the vote ahead of Mr Hampstead, who contested the 2024 Derby and has been gelded since finishing third at Nottingham in October. A determined winner when going off a big price at Lingfield, Tides Of War may have more to come off 4lb higher.

Headgear is something new for him, as is this track, but BELIEVEITANDUCAN otherwise appears to have solid claims.

SPIRIT OF ALBION shaped with promise in a trio of maiden events last season and he made a pleasing return in behind the two market principals at Epsom. The gelded son of Invincible Spirit sets a decent standard with an official rating of 78 and, if stepping forward from that reappearance, he could be hard to beat. William Haggas has started the season in excellent form so debutant Tsuki must enter calculations, along with Fantasmic, who finished a creditable third at Lingfield on her racecourse bow.

This can go to SPIRIT OF ALBION, who has a progressive four-race profile and sets a good standard back in calmer waters.

This is competitive and only a tentative vote can go to DUAL IDENTITY. William Knight's gelding finished a creditable seventh in the Lincoln on his reappearance, but returning to further will suit and although he has yet to defy a mark this high, last season's peak efforts would suggest it should be no barrier to success. C&D winner Sir Lowry's Pass hit the woodwork at Newbury when last seen in October and the low-mileage colt merits respect from 3lb higher. Qitaal, who was narrowly denied in this 12 months ago, is also noted.

Some of the most promising have more to prove on good ground or good to firm. TONY MONTANA gets the vote from Dual Identity.

CAVOLO NERO ran with plenty of credit on his handicap bow at Newmarket's Craven meeting behind a progressive type in Power Fizz, who runs in the 5.05. The extra furlong is unlikely to pose any concerns, with his dam Listed-placed over 1m2f, and a 2lb rise seems fair for James Ferguson's gelding. A short head separated Criminal Shore and Last Shamardal at Ripon last month and the latter has every chance of reversing the form on 1lb better terms. Enrolled completes the shortlist.

A fascinating race in which recent Ripon winner CRIMINAL SHORE gets the vote ahead Cavolo Nero and Last Shamardal.

POWER FIZZ has steadily improved with racing and William Haggas' colt boasts strong credentials in his bid for a hat-trick. A maiden win at Newcastle in January was followed by a comfortable triumph at Newmarket on his handicap debut and the manner of that performance suggested a 7lb rise is unlikely to be a concern. Philanthropist commands respect off a 4lb higher mark than his return success at Southwell. Others to note include Shameful and Brighton Boy.

Consolidation is one of several with serious claims but the twice-raced SHAMEFUL may be the least exposed of all.
