Big Sip was a bit costly to follow last season, but nevertheless showed plenty of promise and he has been gelded since finishing midfield in a 100k race at York. His two previous all-weather outings have resulted in Kempton seconds but he lacks the recent match practice of I'LL GIVE IT A GO, who offered considerable encouragement when finding only an experienced favourite too strong on debut at Southwell. Absolutely Not made a satisfactory return from a lengthy spell on the sidelines and is another to consider.

This may develop into a straight fight between promising pair BIG SIP and I'll Give It A Go, with preference for Andrew Balding's charge.

This can go to BIG SIP who showed useful form in four starts last year and can make a successful return from five months off.

The penny dropped late for LUNANOVA on her course introduction and she finished her race off to good effect to make the frame. The winner has gone in again since, so the form is solid, and Amanda Perrett's filly can make it second-time lucky. Lightening Mann acquitted himself quite well in a decent Doncaster event last summer and has been gelded since. The biggest threat, though, could come in the shape of Monty Beau, who belatedly tastes competitive action for the first time but appeals on pedigree.

The returning LIGHTENING MANN gets the vote with the Jack Channon stable among the winners. This is a rather belated debut for Monty Beau but Hugo Palmer's charge would rate a danger if the betting suggests he's fancied. Course debut third Lunanova completes the shortlist.

The choice is LUNANOVA who showed enough when third on debut here in December to suggest that a race like this was within her reach.

A wide draw and drop in distance didn't see Rosenpur to best effect when finishing last over 5f at Wolverhampton recently, but there is a suspicion that the five-year-old still has more to offer. Regardless, WATERMELON SUGAR arrives on the back of a ready triumph over C&D and a 6lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent Chelsea Banham's inmate from following up. Harry Brown is the pick of the remainder.

ROSENPUR had a ready excuse last time and can land a third win of 2025 with Warren Fentiman taking a useful 7 lb off. Last month's C&D scorer Watermelon Sugar is feared most.

This can go to WATERMELON SUGAR who won in good style here last month. A 6lb rise may not stop him from making it 3-3 over C&D.

Although thwarted in her hat-trick bid when finishing fourth in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket last July, BOUNTIFUL lost little in defeat and she makes grand appeal on her all-weather/seasonal debut. George Boughey's filly is a potential improver stepping up in trip and she edges the vote over Rebel's Gamble. The son of Dark Angel boasts a recent run and he warrants respect on the back of that solid second at Southwell. Rajeko and Dance In The Storm are noted too.

REBEL'S GAMBLE has come a long way in a short time and can take the step up to listed level in his stride now tackling 7f for the first time. Bountiful will be a danger if replicating the form of her Group 2 fourth when last seen in July. Rajeko looks best of the rest.

The choice is RAJEKO who made a pleasing return when second in a Local Group 2 in Qatar last month. He can take another step forward.

Kitaro Kich relished a return to this 7f distance when scoring with something in hand at Chelmsford six days ago. However, a quick turnaround and a 5lb penalty does demand more from the five-year-old and SPLIT ELEVENS is marginally preferred. John Butler's inmate arrives on the back of a victory at Kempton and a mere 2lb rise looks lenient. Portoro, Kondratiev Wave and Runaround Sioux all warrant respect as well.

KITARO KICH arrives at the top of his game and is taken to secure his third victory of the year. Runaround Sioux and Split Elevens may provide the chief threat.

The vote goes to KITARO KICH who appeared to score with plenty in hand at Chelmsford recently and can make light of his 5lb penalty.

Coolagh Magic has to be of interest following his C&D win last month but a 5lb rise just gives the edge to ECCLESIASTICAL. The eight-year-old was only beaten a head into second over 5f at Wolverhampton recently and, off the same mark, he could go one better here. Others who make the shortlist are Mick's Spirit, Recon Mission and Unavailable.

Preference is for the pacey UNAVAILABLE, who has bagged the plum draw against the rail and will benefit from the reapplication of a tongue strap. Ecclesiastical and Coolagh Magic are feared most.

This can go to COOLAGH MAGIC (nap) who is thriving just now and another 5lb rise may not stop him from making it 3-3 over C&D.

Sonic Pioneer made a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton recently and may still have more to offer. That said, a 6lb penalty is a slight concern and preference is for ALL COST, who was only denied by a short head on his handicap bow at Kempton three weeks ago and the first-time application of cheekpieces may bring about further progression. Backer Bilk is another who arrives here with valid form claims.

ALL COST only narrowly failed to justify strong support at Kempton last month and remains low mileage. He gets the nod in the finale. Wolverhampton 1-2 Sonic Pioneer and Backer Bilk look the obvious dangers.

Preference is for BACKER BILK with the step back up in distance looking sure to suit. The danger to the selection could be All Cost
