Ayyab sets the standard based on her third in handicap company off a mark of 75, but that level is not too high and preference is for LOVE STORY. The daughter of Frankel is a half-sister to US Grade 1 winner Max Player, as well as Group 2 scorer Seahenge. The fact that she makes her debut this late into her three-year-old year suggests that connections believe that she can pick up a race and this looks like an ideal opportunity. Elladonna edges out Another Beautiful and Quietness to be the pick of the remainder.

Leading connections have had to be patient with LOVE STORY but she's bred to be very good so she may well be talented enough to get the job done on debut. Ayyab sets a pretty good standard and is the obvious alternative, with Elladonna a likely improver.

Ayyab is unexposed over middle distances and can go well but ELLADONNA is taken to confirm the promise of her Salisbury debut.

In an open event, marginal preference is for FLEUR DE MER, who has won two of her last three starts and is only 4lb higher than for the most recent of those victories at Newcastle. Mordor found just one too good on his handicap bow here three weeks ago and the son of Roaring Lion remains open to further improvement. Others to note are Perseus Way, Tessy Lad and Mayfair Gold.

A case can be made for a few of these but FLEUR DE MER looks the way to go on the back of his ready Newcastle success. Good Salisbury third Alice Knyvet is next on the list ahead of Yarmouth scorer Tarbaan and Perseus Way.

Plenty to consider in an open handicap, headed by FLEUR DE MER. Alice Knyvet and Mordor head the list of dangers.

Hurricane Power and Honest Desire are the pick of those with experience but they could be vulnerable in a race of this nature. With that in mind, preference is for URESHII, who is a Too Darn Hot half-brother to Group 3-winning sprinter Sense Of Duty, and he represents a yard that can get one ready first time. Exceed Now also catches the eye as the first foal out of a mare who won a Group 3 over 6f as a juvenile. More Light and Mesaafi merit consideration too.

NEAPOLITAN's mid-field effort in a good Newmarket novice a month ago was a sound start and expected to build on that, he could be the answer. Hurricane Power's level is established but he warrants respect, with Exceed Now perhaps the pick of a reasonable bunch of newcomers.

Clearly the best form belongs to HONEST DESIRE and Hurricane Power but there is stacks of interest among the newcomers.

GIORGIO M showed plenty of ability to finish fourth at Wolverhampton on debut last week and the son of Profitable should have learned a great deal from that experience. The booking of William Buick hints he is fancied take a big step forward. Durham Castle, who has a tongue-tie fitted for his introduction, was a 220,000gns purchase as a yearling so any market support for him would be of interest. Fellow newcomer Jarraaf is another to keep an eye on.

WARSONG failed to live up to market expectations when fourth at Yarmouth on his debut but looked very green there and should have learned plenty. He can take a big step forward now and win a very open-looking novice. Giorgio M could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, building on his encouraging debut Wolverhampton fourth, although there are clutch of newcomers with the potential to have a say too, including Moswaat, Jarraaf and Crafty Spirit.

The vote goes to GIORGIO M who performed better than the market suggested he would when fourth on his Wolverhampton debut.

MISCHIEF MAGIC looks the class act in this field and he has been gelded since finishing eighth in the Commonwealth Cup. Last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint hero is rated 4lb clear of nearest rival Brad The Brief and should prove too good. Never Just A Dream returns from a break after finishing a respectable fifth at Meydan in February and he could fight it out for a place with Misty Grey.

A very useful conditions event with MISCHIEF MAGIC and Brad The Brief expected to fight it out given they drop down from Group 1 company. Marginal preference is for the Godolphin 3-y-o back from a break/gelding operation.

A few of these have something to prove, not least MISCHIEF MAGIC but he is favoured by the conditions and has won a Group 3 over C&D.

Dionysian finished a close-up third in the Racing League at Southwell and he has to be respected off the same mark, but the vote goes to last week's C&D second ELZAAM BLUE. The Jamie Osborne-trained five-year-old appreciated the drop to this level when just failing to get up and he could go one better off the same rating. Surrey Noir and Crow's Nest are a couple of others to watch out for in an open contest.

SURREY NOIR's form is on an upward curve so he is fancied to make light of a 7 lb rise for his stylish C&D success and go in again. Elzaam Blue is weighted to have a big say and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Saturnalia, Satin Snake and Dionysian in a very competitive handicap.

A cracking handicap can go to SURREY NOIR, who's got it together over C&D since cheekpieces went on. Saturnalia is second choice.

None of these look particularly well handicapped and while the likes of Behind The Scenes and Tiempo Star help to set a good standard, THEME PARK strikes as one with more to offer. Nigel Tinkler's three-year-old was just denied at York on his first start after being gelded, and he broke his maiden over 7f here last year so is proven on the surface. Tyndrum Gold is already a dual C&D winner and is feared most, while Gulmarg is another capable of going close.

BEHIND THE SCENES is progressive and still didn't look the finished article when landing a 7-runner event at Wolverhampton 48 days ago, so she's capable of going in again. Theme Park arrives on the back of a solid showing at York and looks a danger along with Tiempo Star, who is expected to return to form after a break.

The lightly raced BEHIND THE SCENES (nap) remains open to improvement having made it 2-2 on the AW last time and gets the vote.

A winner off 4lb lower on his first attempt over a mile, My Opinion appear likely to go well. However, that Chelmsford success came in a 0-52 band and this represents a sterner test, with RECUERDAME suggested as the preferred option. Having returned from a break to win over C&D, Simon Dow's gelding is still on a handy mark and a 4lb rise might not be enough to prevent back-to-back successes. Weloof and Wizarding complete the shortlist.

IBIZA ROCKS is on a career-low mark and took a step back in the right direction when third at Newcastle recently, so he's worth taking a chance on in an open race. Last-time-out winner My Opinion could progress again, so he's feared most, while course winner Wizarding is hard to rule out.

Maybe MY OPINION, who's clicked lately and found this longer trip fine at Chelmsford, will be able to defy a 4lb rise and follow up.

Suanni is a likely pace angle and, from a handy draw, he is a threat to all if his stamina holds out back over 6f for the first time this year. Mintana is also shortlisted after a surprise success over this trip off 3lb lower at Wolverhampton. However, a strong tempo would ideally suit Kempton regular MAGICINTHEMAKING, who is currently dangerously well handicapped in comparison to her peak form and a big run can be expected on her return.

SUANNI hasn't won for a while but came in for good support when touched off at Wolverhampton recently, so he's taken to go one better in a race he could dominate from a relatively low draw. Lion Ring is an obvious danger and Bama Lama is expected to put an excusable run behind her.

The Cola Kid should be arriving on the scene late but MINTANA is fancied to follow up her recent Wolverhampton success.
