An eye-catcher on his first run for new connections when slowly away and running on late for fourth at Wolverhampton last month, COLLUSION is open to improvement and he may be able to break the maiden tag at the seventh time of asking. Not beaten far when third over C&D in October, Don't Fight It is a key player, as well as Under Curfew, who is capable on his day.

It could be worth chancing MCCAULEY'S TAVERN, who goes well around here and has now dipped below his last winning mark. Collusion made a decent start for this yard when fourth at Wolverhampton and is next best ahead of Big Bard.

Tapeta does not appear to suit MCCAULEY'S TAVERN and this two-time C&D winner earns the vote now back here.

CRESSIDA WILDES may have gone closer at Newcastle last time out if not for an awkward start. Going back up in trip looks like a good move for the daughter of Showcasing and she is narrowly preferred to Cherry Cobbler, who was a promising third over 1m here on debut last month. Coul Angel had Invincible Melody (fourth) behind when third at Southwell most recently and both are likely to enter the reckoning.

CRESSIDA WILDES sets a decent standard back in a novice and this looks a good opportunity for her to finally break her duck. Cherry Cobbler showed speed when third on her debut over 1m here 5 weeks ago and improvement can be expected down in trip, while Pinmoney has a nice pedigree and is a newcomer to note.

Preference is for CHERRY COBBLER, who has a speedy pedigree and travelled well when third over 1m here on last month's debut.

Hailing from a family that trainer William Haggas has had success with, PURPLE RAINBOW made a perfectly respectable start to her career when beaten only a length on debut at Wolverhampton over 7f last month. Stepping up in trip should bring about improvement and she may have too much for Arabian Leopard, who was promising fourth over shorter here on her most recent outing. Less than two lengths behind her in that contest was Mehmas Shy Angel (seventh), who since showed plenty of promise when finishing placed at Wolverhampton.

ARABIAN LEOPARD again showed promise 4 months on from her debut when fourth here 6 weeks ago and she gets the nod in an ordinary maiden. Purple Rainbow made a decent start to her career when second at Wolverhampton and is an obvious threat along with form-pick Mehmas Shy Angel.

The eye is drawn to Purple Rainbow but ARABIAN LEOPARD, who has achieved more in RPR terms, could be too speedy for her.

ONLY ONE BLUE shaped with plenty of promise to finish second on her debut at Southwell last month. Richard Hannon's three-year-old could have any amount of improvement to come and can go one better. Mystery Of Love improved on her debut eighth to make the frame over 7f at Southwell last time and she will appreciate this step up in trip. Any market confidence behind newcomer Lady Odette would be interesting too.

AZANIYA and Only One Blue are closely matched on their Southwell meeting and can come to the fore, with Azaniya fancied to come out on top having looked unlucky not to finish a bit closer there. The three newcomers, Lady Odette, I'll Give It A Go and Selenic, are all interesting.

Moving up to 1m could make enough of a difference to see MYSTERY OF LOVE get off the mark.

Cherry King has run with credit by producing a pair of seconds, despite failing to justify favouritism on each of his last two starts in classified stakes, and has to be respected now that he steps back into the handicap ranks. However, the vote goes to UNITED FORCE, who struck in this grade at Southwell last month and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 3lb. With a repeat of that display, he will prove hard to beat. Bo Taifan completes the shortlist.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this could go the way of BO TAIFAN who posted a good recent third at Chelmsford City and can race off the same mark here (form been franked). United Force is feared most on the back of his Southwell success with Cherry King and Morindoo also in the mix.

He's been running well in defeat behind horses who have been enjoying purple patches so BO TAIFAN (nap) is the pick.

Midsummer Music got her head in front for the first time over track and trip last month and will be looking to back up that success off 3lb higher. However, with that form not working out, PREFER THE SISTER gets the nod. Matt Crawley's five-year-old outran big odds to score in ready style over 7f here last time and this step back up in distance shouldn't pose her any problems. She can record a double, while last-time-out C&D scorer Help Me Rhonda is another to note.

HELP ME RHONDA gave off good vibrations when opening her account for James Fanshawe over C&D last time and with that form working out well she can make light of a 2 lb weights rise and follow up. Prefer The Sister heads the dangers on the back of her recent course victory, although Midsummer Music, Next Trick and Top Of The Class can also have a say.

None of these are bombproof but NEXT TRICK, starting out for Archie Watson, looks worth chancing.

In what looks a trappy affair on paper, a tentative vote goes to SWEET FANTASTIC. He has been knocking on the door and now gets first-time cheekpieces and Hollie Doyle in the saddle. Choreographic shaped with promise when third behind two useful types in a Southwell handicap recently and she is not dismissed off 1lb lower. George Boughey's inmates can often find chunks of improvement for a switch to handicapping, and his Bad Habits must be monitored in the market.

This is wide open so it could be worth siding with John Butler's AZOOZI to take a sizeable step forward on his handicap bow and get off the mark. The handily-weighted Sweet Fantastic is next on the list and rates a big threat with Panama Black, Mini Mac and Choreographic also well in the mix.

Top of the list is the George Boughey-trained BAD HABITS, who goes handicapping in first-time cheekpieces having been gelded.

ROSCO ROGERS didn't cut much ice in his three qualifying runs, but he lost little in defeat when going down narrowly in second on his handicap debut over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month. Stepping up in trip off 2lb higher, he gets the vote to atone for that near-miss. This step up in trip coupled with the application of cheekpieces could see No Release go well, and he is respected most out of the remainder, while Abstract Art is another for the shortlist.

A few offer potential to improve here, not least James Owen's GRAY RAINBOW who is bred to be well suited by this first go over 1m4f and can get off the mark. Fellow handicap debutant Gemmari also has better days ahead of him and rates the main danger, although Rosco Rogers, Bruce Banner and Abstract Art merit consideration too.

This could rest between handicap newcomers GEMMARI and Gray Rainbow. Gemmari can provide dam Gravitation with yet another winner.

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.
