A 77-day break proved just the trick for ARCTICIAN when regaining the winning thread over C&D last month. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks more than workable for Simon Dow's gelding and a fifth victory over today's track and trip could be imminent. The reopposing Bell Shot was just behind the selection 23 days ago and is feared most racing off an unchanged mark, ahead of Follow Your Heart.

There was very little to choose between BELL SHOT and Arctician over C&D last month, with the latter narrowly emerging on top. It should again be close but Bell Shot is taken to prevail this time, meeting the winner on 1 lb better terms, plus his rider claims a handy 5 lb. Revolutionise is best of the rest.

The two suggestions against the field are the Mick Appleby-trained runners BELL SHOT and Daring Legend.

Recent solid form is thin on the ground and it could be worth taking a punt on one of the handicap debutants, with ARCTIC MISSION a tentative selection. The son of El Kabeir should have learned plenty from his three runs to date and first-time blinkers could prove fruitful. All Cost boasts a similar profile to the selection and market support for either would be interesting. Galette is the pick of the remainder.

It could be worth chancing SPINNING DANCER, who caught the eye in a similar event at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. Galette (also shaped better than the bare result) and Ballarat Bertie ran in the same race and are considered also.

The pick of the runners who already have handicap form is BALLARAT BERTIE. All Cost is open to improvement on handicap debut.

The hat-trick seeking Manton Road warrants respect in his current heart and a 3lb higher mark for a cosy victory at Wolverhampton earlier this month is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, prior to his recorded double, Gay Kelleway's inmate was demoted to second behind reopposing winner PERFECT RUBY at Lingfield. The daughter of Dandy Man proved a different proposition in first-time blinkers that day and she's a shade more compelling. Stable debutant Appleblossomwhite completes the shortlist.

MANTON ROAD isn't the most straightforward but he got the better of a couple of well-backed rivals at Wolverhampton 11 days ago so should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Perfect Ruby showed big improvement when promoted to first at Lingfield last month and rates the main threat ahead of another last-time-out winner Perfect Parole.

This is competitive but MANTON ROAD has continued to progress since being demoted against Perfect Ruby and he gets the vote.

Megalithic produced a consistent level of form last season and he's unlikely to be far away if running to his current mark of 78, but the vote goes to POLITICAL POWER. The son of Wooded posted a couple of solid performances for Adrian Murray as a juvenile before finishing a creditable second on his stable debut last month. Connections reach for a hood today and, if allowing him to settle better, he ought to go very close. Charlie Appleby often does well with his debutants around here but although Modern Day merits respect, it is a slight concern that he sports a hood having also been gelded.

Newcomer MODERN DAY makes obvious appeal on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Megalithic will be a threat if fully-tuned up following a break and he is next on the list ahead of Political Power. Advancing and Zarakerjack are other debutants to note in the betting.

Newcastle runner-up POLITICAL POWER is taken to go one better. Megalithic is the chief danger on form.

Gaiety Musical arrives having notched up a brace of successes, the latest coming at Wolverhampton, and she merits the utmost respect from 4lb higher. However, the vote goes to MORE THAN A FEELIN, who was chasing a hat-trick of her own when finishing third over an extended 1m1f at the Dunstall Park venue in December. Alice Haynes' charge looks certain to benefit from a drop in trip, so it would come as no surprise were she to make an immediate return to the winner's enclosure. Unassuming is also noted.

UNASSUMING ended last year with a good second behind a next-time-out listed winner at Southwell, before shaping better than the result at Lingfield on her latest outing, so she is taken to get back to winning ways returned to this shorter trip. She can get the better of the hat-trick seeking Gaiety Musical, while More Than A Feelin could also be in the mix.

Most of the runners could still have further progress in them. The percentage call goes to GAIETY MUSICAL, ahead of Unassuming.

Dual C&D winner ARAMIS GREY returned from a near three-month absence to finish a narrow second over track and trip in December. The mare has since moved to Jack Jones and, from an unchanged rating, ought to hold every chance of making a winning stable debut. Heathcliff would have finished closer at Newcastle last time out were it not for traffic problems. He remains in fine fettle though and is of considerable interest, while others to note include King's Lynn and Coachello.

A useful contest. HEATHCLIFF is an AW handicapper on the up and can build on his encouraging Newcastle reappearance. Cajetan, another with a strong AW record, wasn't seen to best effect behind the selection in that Newcastle race and is second choice ahead of Aramis Grey.

With better luck CAJETAN might have gone close at Newcastle last time and he is first choice ahead of Heathcliff.

Buxted Too and Sonnerie Power are weighted to get competitive despite being at the top end of the handicap, while Eton Blue and Aim For The Moon could force their way into contention in this company. However, having won over this trip off 3lb lower at Lingfield on his penultimate start, UPEPO looks the type who could bounce back after finding himself having too much to do when tried over 2m at the same venue last time out.

RISEN AGAIN seems to be getting his act together for Alice Haynes now and is given a chance to build on his good third at Southwell 4 weeks ago. Upepo has done all his winning at Lingfield but is still feared most ahead of Ed Walker handicap newcomer Media Mogul.

Off a reduced mark back over his optimum trip, SONNERIE POWER (nap) can gain an overdue first success for current connections.

SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX was only just denied by an in-form rival over C&D on his penultimate start but quickly made amends for that narrow defeat when routing the opposition at Wolverhampton last month. A 6lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the John Butler-trained five-year-old from following up back here. Our Dagger returned from a break with a cosy win at Newcastle 12 days ago and is feared most off just 3lb higher. The Cola Kid and Stacey Racey are interesting each-way options to consider.

OUR DAGGER needed to show a good turn of foot to come from last to first at Newcastle recently and can defy a 3 lb rise and make it 2-2 for new handler Daragh Bourke. South Dakota Sioux ran out an easy winner at Wolverhampton last month and looks the obvious danger. Stacey Racey may prove best of the remainder if fully primed after 4 months off.

There was much to like about how OUR DAGGER circled his field at Newcastle and he looks well in off just 3lb higher.

The well-handicapped KONDRATIEV WAVE, who is a previous course winner, is generally dependable at this level and his proven reliability earns him the vote in a race lacking depth. Split Elevens is a multiple winner on the all-weather and cannot be ruled out from gaining a first success at this venue in this modest company. Fact Or Fable and Irrelevant have reasonable enough chances and enter the reckoning from a place perspective at least.

The obvious one is KONDRATIEV WAVE, who was only just denied off this mark at Lingfield 10 days ago. Split Elevens was given a hopeless task at Wolverhampton last time and remains of interest, while Beveragino made a respectable start for this yard at Southwell 6 weeks ago.

John Butler's SPLIT ELEVENS gave the first three a head start when a closing fourth at Wolverhampton last time.
