Paroda Diva is the only one with racecourse experience and will have benefitted for last week's introduction at Bath. However, she looks worth taking on and VIAMARIE makes plenty of appeal. A half-sister to the smart sprinter First Folio, she represents George Boughey's in-form yard and could prove good enough at the first time of asking. Very Mindful is another debutant to keep an eye on for the future.

This should go to a newcomer. Archie Watson's Very Mindful is of interest but George Boughey's VIAMARIE is preferred.

A competitive affair with no less than six winners on show. The most visually impressive of those was OPERA SCORE, who showed signs of inexperience before forging clear of her rivals in the closing stages at Wolverhampton in the manner of a potentially useful filly. Life Is Beautiful left a good impression when scoring over course and distance in November, while Bijoux made a winning debut last month when successful at Southwell. Badiyah is a newcomer to note.

No less than six previous winners in this novice contest for fillies. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL clocked a decent time on her sole start (C&D).

COSMIC YEAR is prominent in the betting market for next month's 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and is difficult to oppose on his reappearance. The son of Kingman trounced his rivals over 7f at Sandown in September and this should set him up nicely for a tilt at the big one. Honved failed to confirm the promise of his debut second at Wolverhampton when disappointing at Doncaster, so newcomers National Park and Hit Squad could prove bigger threats.

This revolves around COSMIC YEAR, a general 8-1 chance for the 2,000 Guineas having looked so good on his sole start at two.

The winner of two of his last three starts over 7f at Southwell, GRAND KARAT has flourished since being gelded and appeals strongly returning from a break off a potentially workable rating. The versatile son of Gleneagles was a close second on his only previous attempt over C&D and could go one better if he copes with stepping up in class. United Approach has won fresh from an absence in the past and is feared most on that basis, while Yorkshire and Blue Prince are others who could have a big say.

Yorkshire and Blue Prince (second choice) are respected but GRAND KARAT is the one with the most potential.

Papabella made good strides on turf last season and resumes off a workable mark. However, there is a slight query about her record when fresh and others could take advantage of any rustiness, with the low-mileage RIFT VALLEY suggested as the first one to consider. The James Fanshawe-trained filly was a respectable fourth, despite the jockey dropping the reins, in a Newcastle maiden last month and could be a different proposition debuting in a handicap with her match-fitness topped up. Four Adaay and Kensington Agent are other solid contenders.

Papabella was improving when last seen and can go well but BERMUDA PRINCESS could take a big step forward from last month's return.

RUMBA BAY continued her progression when landing the spoils at Wolverhampton last month. Having previously won at Chelmsford, reverting to Polytrack holds no fear for David Evans' filly and a third career victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Off The Bench, who offered plenty of promise on his third-placed stable bow at the Essex track 13 days ago. Take The Boat is also noted on her return to 7f.

Michael Bell has had 13 winners from 37 runners this year and YESTERDAY'S GONE (nap) looks up to making a winning handicap debut.

Captain Brett has posted two creditable efforts in defeat since entering handicap company over C&D in February and he is one of the likelier winners. However, David Simcock's gelding could prove vulnerable to an improver and preference is for the unexposed JUSTENZIA. An opening mark of 63 looks workable for the daughter of Ghaiyyath and she is likely to relish tonight's step up in trip. Staffordshire could also have a say if settling better.

Tom Ward's GODSTONE was noted doing some nice late work in a C&D maiden two runs ago and is the pick on his handicap debut.
