Scenic already has black type on her CV and sets a really good standard. She was turned over at odds of 8/11 on her final two starts in 2023, though, and while there will be plenty who keep the faith, it may be worth taking her on with ALL TOO WELL. The daughter of Ulysses cost 75,000gns as a yearling and there is a nice blend of speed and stamina in her pedigree. Path Of Stars, Nowhere and Edna E Mode are other newcomers to keep an eye on.

SCENIC's record of 0-9 probably doesn't tell the full story and she's worth another chance to make a successful return having gone well here previously. Dangers may come in the shape of newcomers Path of Stars and All Too Well.

Scenic was costly to follow last term. The newcomers are interesting on paper and stable form sways the vote for EDNA E MODE.

FALMOUTH BOY has lacked a change of gear at Lingfield on his last couple of appearances, including when sent off a strong favourite last time, but the rise from 6f could be just what he needs and he is worth sticking with. Blenheim Star made an encouraging return when third over C&D, as did Brinton with her Chelmsford fourth. Rinnovati hasn't come anywhere near justifying her 200,000-euro price tag, but new trainer Archie Watson sends her handicapping off a low mark.

CALL ME THE BREEZE travelled with plenty of purpose on reappearance a fortnight ago and likely to strip fitter with that under her belt, she could be the answer. Blenheim Star is eased in grade and she's a big danger, along with ready Bath scorer Meet Me In Meraki if he's allowed to take his chance.

It's two days since Meet Me In Meraki made his breakthrough at Bath on soft ground. FALMOUTH BOY otherwise looks the best option.

BELLA TASLINA was no match for a smart filly who ran in the Guineas last weekend when making her debut at Newbury, but she beat the rest comfortably and is taken to go one better. Rochelle built on her pleasing introduction when landing the odds at Chelmsford. She has switched stables since and looks a bright prospect. A heavy defeat in a valuable sales race aside, Get Jiggy With It has performed with great credit so far and won't remain a maiden for too much longer.

BELLA TASLINA shaped with definite promise when chasing home a potentially smart filly in a Newbury maiden on debut 3 weeks ago and she's of interest here with progress anticipated. Rochelle, who ran out a good winner at Chelmsford late last year is feared on debut for her new yard, with Get Jiggy With It next best.

Bella Taslina has the benefit of a recent run and gets 5lb from the penalised ROCHELLE, but the selection has plenty of potential.

CHOLA EMPIRE returned to winning ways in a similar event at Southwell on his most recent outing in March and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent the five-year-old from following up. Rich has not fulfilled the promise that she displayed as a juvenile but the daughter of Cracksman should not be underestimated at this level. Giant won over C&D two starts ago and rates best of the rest.

Provided she's raring to go following a nine-month absence, RICH could be the answer. She has kept pretty good company since making a winning debut at 2 yrs and resumes here on a very attractive mark. Giant is in good form and should be in the mix once again, while Surrey Noir and handicap debutant Mystery Monarch are also shortlisted.

Last year's winner SAYIFYOUWILL is 2lb lower this time and can follow up. Surrey Noir and Thapa Vc also have chances.

SALAMANCA CITY has shown improvement with each start to date and outran odds of 33/1 when fourth in maiden over C&D last month. Now switched to handicap company, James Fanshawe's filly could be ready to strike. Dancingwithmyself remains unexposed and is an obvious threat to the selection having won at the second time of asking at Chelmsford in October. Others to note are Midnight Drive, Tayala and Carpathian.

It's perhaps best to narrow this down to the 3-y-os. DANCINGWITHMYSELF should have more to offer on the back of last autumn's Chelmsford novice win and gets the nod. Recent C&D scorer Midnight Drive rates an obvious danger, while James Ferguson's Carpathian appeals as one who should have more to offer in handicaps.

Carpathian and Salamanca City are open to improvement, as is DANCINGWITHMYSELF, who won well at Chelmsford when last seen.

Slightly unlucky when hampered late in the piece at Windsor last month, DARK DREAMER can gain compensation on his return to a track and trip over which he scored in determined fashion on his penultimate outing. A winner of two of his last three starts at Southwell, Rusheen Boy can give him the most to think about, ahead of Horse Whisperer, who wasn't for catching at Wolverhampton last time out.

C&D winner DARK DREAMER is going the right way and can register his second victory. Horse Whisperer and Rusheen Boy should also go well.

It's hard to get away from DARK DREAMER, who looked a touch unlucky on soft ground last week. Cuban Harry has claims if settling.

A winner on her latest start over this C&D, GOLDEN DOVE caught the eye when keeping on late from off the pace over 1m2f at Lingfield last time and, with improvement expected, she may be primed to strike from an inside draw. On the other hand, Federated will have to do it from a wide berth if he is to follow up on his success at Newcastle last month. The unexposed Fictional and Manila Mist cannot be ruled out either.

FICTIONAL was heavily backed when fourth at Chelmsford on handicap debut and, now hooded, he should be more suited by a well-run race, so he gets the nod over recent winner Federated, who is also unexposed. Golden Dove is also a player in an open race.

The pair with fewest miles on the clock, Fictional and FEDERATED (nap), make most appeal, the latter edging it upped a fair 3lb.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
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. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
