Having won three of his last five starts, CEPHALUS heads the shortlist despite picking up a 5lb penalty for his most recent success. The Gary Moore-trained gelding was treated for stomach ulcers before his upturn in form began over this course and distance in December, and he hasn't looked back. Taravara (second) was just a head behind the selection at Kempton last month and rates the chief danger with a 6lb pull at the weights. Eddie Temple is the pick of the rest.

TARAVARA is 6 lb better off with Cephalus for a narrow defeat at Kempton last month so might be able to turn the tables on Gary Moore's thriving 5-y-o. Eddie Temple shaped quite well when third on his recent Chelmsford return and also makes the shortlist.

Taravara and Cephalus are high on the list but there was sufficient promise in EDDIE TEMPLE's latest run to earn him the vote.

SUNBLOCK has been a well-backed favourite in each of her last two starts and, following a winning start for the George Boughey yard at Wolverhampton, she was unlucky in running when attempting to follow up at Newcastle 15 days ago. Off the same mark, the lightly-raced daughter of Too Darn Hot is worth another chance. Gogo Yubari (winner) and Unavailable (second) are closely matched based on their encounter over 5f here in January and are suggested as the pick of the remainder.

There was a possible excuse for SUNBLOCK last time and she's well worth another chance to show she's still on a good mark. The consistent Unavailable and the unexposed Southbank head the dangers.

Sunblock and Southbank are better than they showed last time but this could be the day for FALMOUTH BOY to break his duck.

DUBAI HILLS holds an edge over most of these in terms of both experience and match-fitness. A respectable third in handicap at Newcastle earlier in the month, which was his first race since being gelded, this son of Adaay has to be of interest back in a maiden and, with that run under his belt, this could be the time to catch Amy Murphy's charge. Ethandun sets the standard based on last year's turf form, while the unexposed No Half Measures is also respected.

NO HALF MEASURES ran to a fair level first time up when second at Wolverhampton 20 days ago and, with improvement on the cards, is fancied to get the better of the more exposed Dubai Hills and Enthandun.

No Half Measures ran well on debut and should be involved but BONAVENTURE is given another chance to confirm his debut promise.

The class-dropping BRADMAN went close to making all over 1m4f at Newcastle last week and, off an unchanged mark easing in trip, he holds standout claims to make every yard a winning one from a handy draw. Jailbird shaped with some promise on her handicap debut over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month, running on into fourth place late on, and, upped in distance, she can give the selection most to think about. Night Safari can also get involved.

Richard Hughes has his team in good nick and CRACKER STAR appeals as one who could take a step forward now handicapping. Bradman has been consistent in similar races this year and is second choice, ahead of Jailbird, who didn't have things go ideally on her recent handicap debut.

Preference is for JAILBIRD, ahead of Bradman. The three handicap newcomers are open to improvement.

MARION'S BOY scored a shade cosily over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month under this rider, and the suspicion is that a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him following up in what looks a winnable contest on paper. Tribal Wisdom has run solid races in defeat on his last two outings, both over C&D, but he is a habitual keen-racer and comes with risks attached. Semser is capable and, 1lb below his last winning mark, he looks weighted to strike if on a going day.

MARION'S BOY was value for extra in coming from the rear in a steadily-run race at Chelmsford last time and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up on that evidence. Tribal Wisdom wasn't seen to best effect on his most recent outing and remains of interest, while Royal Dream appeals as the type to bounce back quickly from a rare poor effort at Southwell.

Marion's Boy still has some handicapping scope but the class-dropping TRIBAL WISDOM (nap) is selected to take another step forward.

Northcliff has to be of interest having finally got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month, but a 5lb rise will make life tougher for him here. With that in mind, preference is for DARLO PRIDE, who has made the frame in both starts since winning over 5f also at Wolverhampton in February. Others to note are Alafdhal, Come On Girl and Harb.

DARLO PRIDE arrives in top form and was unlucky not to finish closer at Southwell last time, so he's worth a chance to get back to winning ways in what looks quite a thin race on paper. Northcliff is respected on the back of success at Wolverhampton and Harb could feature if he gets a reasonable position from stall 11.

Darlo Pride is greatly respected but MARTINI NIGHTS might be worth chancing on her stable debut.

REVOLUCION hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and he could prove tough to beat with a repeat performance. His supporters will be pleased to see that Rossa Ryan keeps the ride and perhaps there is a bit more to come in these refitted cheekpieces. Intoxicata and Twilight Dancer are the dangers, with the former feared most given she's 2-3 over C&D.

REVOLUCION is on a fair mark and worth taking a chance on to gain a second career success on the back of a good second over C&D. Intoxicata also arrives in form and merits respect despite a wide draw.

Easily the most appealing contenders based on last-time-out form and other factors are REVOLUCION and Intoxicata.

NO TURNING BACK made an encouraging return from a 131-day break when third over 7f at Kempton recently and she could be hard to stop with the benefit of that outing. Kitaab failed to fire last time but can be given another chance based on his two previous performances, while Bell Shot edges out So Chic to be best of the rest.

SO CHIC has been shaping up well and, if she gets the strong pace that suits, she could get the better of Bell Shot, who looks an interesting newcomer for an in-form yard. Seattle Time is also likely to be on the premises.

This looks more open than the first division. The suggestion is BELL SHOT, with So Chic second choice.
