EPIC EXPRESS returned from a 128-day break to be victorious by two and a half lengths over track and trip last month, and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Arctician has been thereabouts at class 4 level on each of his last three starts, but he will need to prove he is as effective over this shorter distance. Saturnalia is another to consider after his third at Chelmsford over 7f.

EPIC EXPRESS was a ready winner over C&D 2 weeks ago and sets a good standard if returning here in the same form. Masterclass did well to make late inroads from rear at Southwell last time and also merits consideration, with Saturnalia another to bear in mind dropped back to a sprint trip.

Epic Express won well last time but Richard Hughes has his string in flying form and SATURNALIA (nap) is preferred.

SURVEYOR showed plenty of promise when fourth at Newmarket on debut and built on that at Leicester, filling the runner-up spot. James Fanshawe's filly could improve for this step up in distance and looks the one to beat on her return. Battle Queen has also run to a good level in both of her career starts so far, including when third at Wolverhampton last time, and she could progress further to have a say. Of the remainder, 170,000-euro purchase Seamore appeals most.

SURVEYOR offered plenty when in the frame on both starts in her juvenile campaign and sets a clear standard with further improvement likely. Battle Queen and Xiomara have both showed ability to this point and look best of the remainder with experience, though newcomers Madame Sans Gene and Seamore are potential flies in the ointment.

This can go to SURVEYOR, who showed useful form behind a subsequent Group 2-placed winner at Leicester and she'll appreciate this trip

PRINCESS IN ROME beat Havana Force by just under two lengths to shed her maiden tag over C&D. The daughter of Masar renews rivalry on 4lb worse terms, but can confirm her superiority and make a winning handicap debut. Havana Force also goes handicapping for the first time and it would be no surprise to see her improve further. Any market support for Lumiere d'Or in a first-time hood would be interesting.

PRINCESS IN ROME overcame greenness to make a winning a C&D maiden last month and she makes plenty of appeal now handicapping with better still expected to come. Havana Force, runner-up in that contest, receives weight from that rival here and can pose the biggest threat again, though expensive-yearling Simple Endeavour sarts in handicaps from an eye-catching mark and rates as an interesting player.

This can go to PRINCESS IN ROME who did it nicely when winning a maiden over C&D four weeks ago. She remains open to further progress.

Cosmos Raj is a strong contender and should make a bold bid to complete a hat-trick after a couple of wins over the extended mile at Wolverhampton. However, he is likely to find this more competitive and there may be a bit of value in siding with LANDLORDTOTHESTARS, who is also best when on the front end. With Joe Leavy taking 5lb off his back, James Evans' four-year-old has a notable chance at the weights and can launch a bold bid from a favourable draw. Desfondado is also considered.

FRANCESCI is nicely treated and caught the eye from an unpromising position when second at Southwell last time, so he's fancied to go one better despite a tricky draw. Last-time-out winner Cosmos Raj is an obvious danger and Landlordtothestars can't be ruled out.

The choice is DUTCH KINGDOM who has twice run better than it looked since winning over 7f here. The return to 1m should suit him.

Crimson Sand is an interesting one to note in the betting on his first run since undergoing wind surgery, while Lil Guff and Star Of Lady M are a couple of others with solid claims at this level. However, MOULIN BOOJ has started this year with a couple of sterling efforts and on the back of a relatively cosy victory over this trip at Southwell, a 7lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent this still low-mileage four-year-old from going in again.

LIL GUFF remains lightly raced on all-weather, doing well in the circumstances when making the frame at Southwell on her final start last year, so she could still have more to offer on her return. She is taken to get the better of Moulin Booj, who showed improved from when winning at the same course on his latest outing, with Star of Lady M also considered.

A competitive sprint in which STAR OF LADY M is preferred to Moulin Booj in her bid for a third course win.

MAHBOOB rewarded the patience shown by connections when making a successful introduction over C&D in December. He won with something to spare and the Gosdens' four-year-old has been found an excellent opportunity to continue his education. Lakota Brave benefited from his debut third at Newcastle when returning to the same venue to break through 11 days later, although stepping up in trip may not suit on pedigree. With that in mind, the main danger could be Hurtle Wallop, who showed a lot more on his second start when fourth at Ascot in October.

The well-bred MAHBOOB made a promising start amidst greenness when successful at this C&D in December, digging deep when challenged, and he can build on that effort to follow up. Lakota Brave opened his account at the second attempt and looks the main danger, with Hurtle Wallop the pick of the remainder.

Everything looks in place for a big run from MAHBOOB, who created a good impression over this C&D on debut. He's open to improvement

CHIEFMAN built on the promise shown as a juvenile when successfully stepping up to this trip on his handicap bow at Newcastle last week. The son of Cracksman is 2lb well-in under a penalty and further improvement appears likely. Road To Wembley is bred to improve as he gets older and has to be respected following his Wolverhampton triumph on Saturday, while a return to Lingfield could see Dire Wolf in the mix once again.

CHIEFMAN hadn't met expectations last year, but after 7 months off he was a commanding winner at Newcastle 10 days ago and a penalty might not be enough to prevent him from doubling his tally. He can see off the challenge of Road To Wembley, who also showed much improved form when making a successful handicap debut last week.

Recent improvers Chiefman and ROAD TO WEMBLEY are both 2lb well in under their 6lb penalties here. The latter gets the vote.
