A winner of his last two starts at this venue and beaten just a neck at Chelmsford last time out, THE SPOTLIGHT KID sets the standard as he looks to notch up a fifth career success. That may be at the main expense of Ajrad, who scored over 7f at Wolverhampton last week but has a 4lb penalty to shoulder on this occasion. Claxton Bay and Roscioli are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

CLAXTON BAY is taken to gain compensation for his recent Lingfield near miss. The Spotlight Kid has remained in form since 2 course wins in November and is feared most ahead of Help Me Rhonda, who wasn't seen to best effect here last time.

A competitive race in which the in-form THE SPOTLIGHT KID (nap) is preferred to Claxton Bay and Help Me Rhonda.

Runner-up to a talented sort from the William Haggas team on debut over C&D last month, BLUE WONDER shaped with abundant promise on that occasion and she can go one better. Narrowly denied over track and trip at a huge price first time out, Selenic may be able to prove that was no fluke, while the booking of Oisin Murphy aboard well-bred newcomer Champagne On Ice is noteworthy.

BLUE WONDER and Selenic both showed promise when second over C&D on debut last month, with the former narrowly preferred. Newcomers Champagne On Ice and Joy of Dubai would also firmly enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in their favour.

Blue Wonder was second over C&D on debut but JOY OF DUBAI has a classy pedigree and this Roger Varian-trained newcomer is the pick.

The Andrew Balding stable are in good form and it is difficult to look past BERKSHIRE WHISPER, who ran on well for second on debut over C&D a month ago. The son of Dark Angel is taken to get off the mark, with Sands Of Havana looking best placed to chase him home, despite a disappointing effort at Southwell most recently. Alone Mehmas is a newcomer to monitor for market support.

BERKSHIRE WHISPER shaped well when runner-up over C&D on her debut and is hard to side against with progress very much on the cards. Newcomers Havana Joy (second choice) and Alone Mehmas are both in good hands and could emerge as the main dangers, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Andrew Balding's horses are running well and this can go to BERKSHIRE WHISPER on the back of his promising debut second over C&D.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

An open contest in which many will fancy their chances, including Grenham Bay, who was a shade unfortunate when third behind Big R over C&D last month. Hierarchy, who was fourth that day, has posted two strong efforts since and is likely to be on the premises once again. However, preference is afforded to HARRY DID after he caught the eye when hitting the frame at Southwell recently and the unexposed four-year-old, who will have no problem with the switch to Polytrack, makes considerable appeal from just 1lb higher.

A few with chances but HARRY DID looks the way to go off just a 1 lb higher mark than when a very good Southwell third. Big R is next on the list on the back of his C&D victory last time, while Grenham Bay, Hiatus and Hierarchy also need considering for minor honours.

In an open event the C&D regular GRENHAM BAY is marginally preferred to Holy Fire and Hierarchy.

A slow start was ultimately the undoing of Ashford Hill, who finished a narrow second over C&D a fortnight ago. She ought to be a real force if breaking on terms but, while she is respected, preference is for STRAIGHT A. Mick Appleby's charge would have been an extremely unfortunate loser at Wolverhampton recently but he did well to get up close home, and a subsequent 3lb rise does not look beyond him. Lunarscape is also noted.

STRAIGHT A got back to winning ways at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, always travelling fluently and getting a clear run when required to prevail in a tight finish. He's a lead player again with the drop back in trip holding no fears. Enpassant, Tyger Bay and Lunarscape head up the dangers.

Straight A should make another bold bid but ENPASSANT has been threatening this winter and he can belatedly exploit his lowly mark.

This looks to be a competitive event so only a tentative nod goes to ALRAZEEN. The four-year-old impressed when readily showing his rivals a clean pair of heels over an extended 2m at Southwell recently and another bold bid looks likely, despite a 6lb rise. Moon Over Miami was well backed when fifth in a warm race on his handicap debut over 1m3f at Southwell last month and he must enter calculations upped significantly in trip for top connections. HMS President and Wonder Legend can also make their presence felt.

Successful on each of his 2 starts as a 3-y-o, MOON OVER MIAMI found a falsely-run race no use to him when fifth on his return/handicap debut at Southwell (11.1f) 32 days ago. However, that run (his first for 8 months) ought to have blown the cobwebs away and he's well worth another chance to confirm his mark a workable one upped in trip. Last-time-out winners Wonder Legend and Alrazeen may be the pair to give him most to do.

A narrow verdict is given to WONDER LEGEND whose form is on an upward curve and he promises to improve again for 2m.

SID'S ANNIE caught the eye when staying on into fourth after being denied a clear run at a crucial stage over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month and, eased 2lb stepping back up in trip, she looks attractively handicapped. The unexposed Always Waving wasn't disgraced when fourth on her handicap debut over 1m3f at Southwell recently and she could go well off 2lb lower, while Kinetic has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature.

STORM VALLEY did well for this stable last year and she remains on a fair mark if ready to go after 9 months off. Kinetic can make her presence felt back down in class, while Always Waving remains unexposed.

A trappy race. ALWAYS WAVING could be open to some improvement as her latest race didn't pan out all that favourably.
