MY MATE MIKE made the frame in this grade over track and trip on his latest outing and competes off the same rating. Dean Ivory's four-year-old is a two-time C&D winner who has lots in his favour to regain the winning thread. Mumayaz has run well over sprint distances on each of his last three starts and should have no problem with the step back up in trip, while Monsieur Beaulieu isn't out of it after his third over 6f here last month.

ZU RUN has had excuses both starts at Wolverhampton after winning there in October and the feeling remains that this mark is well within range, He's awarded the vote at the expense of Mumayaz (back up in trip) and Whoop Whoop (change of headgear).

Serenity Rose can get closer to MY MATE MIKE today but Dean Ivory's 4yo is still fancied to record a third C&D success.

BLUE SECRET has shown a fair amount of ability in her three starts to date, including her fair fourth at Newmarket last month. The daughter of Blue Point is bred to be a lot better than a rating of 74 and it would be no surprise to see her show that today. Solar Army was denied by a short head into second at Southwell last time and should remain competitive off 3lb higher, while Beauty By My Side is another to note after her victory at Wolverhampton.

Stall 11 doesn't make life easy but SOLAR ARMY should probably have won at Southwell a fortnight ago and in the hope he keeps straight this time under pressure, he could be the answer. This is open, with Rage of Thunder and Blue Secret a couple of potential threats.

Several runners are interesting now switched to handicap level. Marginal preference is for SWEET FANTASTIC, ahead of Blue Secret.

TEXAS STARLIGHT took a step forward from her debut second to score in comfortable style at Southwell in October and she is likely to have plenty of improvement in her. George Boughey's juvenile could relish the step up to a mile and can carry her 7lb penalty to victory. 230,000-euro purchase Miss Herschel is related to plenty of winners and she is of huge interest, especially if the market speaks in her favour. Joyful Sound is a half-sister to an Italian Group 1 winner and is another to note.

Having shaped promisingly at Newmarket on debut, TEXAS STARLIGHT had little difficulty with opening her account at Southwell last time and she can follow up with more still to offer. The biggest threat could come from the newcomers in the line-up, with six-figure purchase Go Go Boots making plenty of appeal, ahead of Diamond Lil.

The form choice is TEXAS STARLIGHT. All of the newcomers have good credentials, particularly Go Go Boots.

BLAST THE DREAM wasn't disgraced when finishing fifth in a warm-looking novice on her debut at Newmarket last month. That experience should stand the daughter of Oasis Dream in good stead and this step up to a mile could enable a breakthrough victory. Newcomer Gray Rainbow shouldn't be found lacking for stamina given her staying pedigree and market support for James Owen's filly must be noted. C&D fourth Pershalla may fare best of the remainder.

BLAST THE DREAM showed plenty to work on when fifth in a Newmarket novice and Roger Varian's filly can make her second start a winning one. Newcomers Niminy Piminy and Gray Rainbow may prove the biggest dangers.

As regards the runners with experience, BLAST THE DREAM is preferred. Interesting newcomer Gray Rainbow is feared most.

CHARLOTTE'S WEB had little difficulty in completing a double at Newcastle last month and a 6lb rise may prove to be on the lenient side. Sean D Bowen claims a handy 3lb off the three-year-old's back and a hat-trick could be in order. Typical Woman finished behind the selection in fourth 33 days ago and her subsequent close-up second at Kempton substantiates the selection's form. Ian Williams' mare will need to improve off a 5lb higher mark, so a bigger threat may emerge from Chelmsford scorer Lokana.

CHARLOTTE'S WEB is really going the right way and given she had a bit up her sleeve at Newcastle a month ago, the hat-trick may well be on the cards. Elladonna and Therapist are a couple of potential threats.

Solid-looking ELLADONNA is taken to build on her C&D effort and score off the same mark. Charlotte's Web is feared most.

Although he has proved expensive to follow on his last two defeats, a first-time hood could prove the key to unlocking SMART HERO's ability. The Shamardal gelding was far too keen when finishing ninth at Kempton last month, but he may take some stopping if settling better. Hafeet Alain arrives on the back of a respectable sixth in a class 2 event at the same venue as the selection and is a viable alternative dropping in class. Local Hero and Palmar Bay are also noted.

TIGER CRUSADE hasn't won for a while but the assessor has given him a major chance back on his favoured surface, so he's an appealing candidate. A hood may help Smart Hero settle down and he's feared, along with Hafeet Alain down slightly in class.

Ed Walker's HAFEET ALAIN hasn't been running at all badly in stronger handicaps and is well drawn to employ positive tactics that suit.

POETIC JACK has been knocking on the door of late with a pair of runner-up efforts, including last time out over C&D, and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread. Sisters In The Sky has strong claims on his penultimate second over this distance at Wolverhampton, while Doves Of Peace is another to consider for in-form connections. Lilkian and Supernova Steps are likely to be thereabouts as well.

POETIC JACK arrives in top form, which can't be said for many of his rivals, and he might be able to go one better than last time if he can get a reasonable position from stall 10. Sisters In The Sky is a threat and Alshimali is worthy of interest having his second outing for his current yard.

This is a drop in grade for SOUTHBANK and he can capitalise on the return to 6f. Sassy Redhead heads the long list of dangers.

An eye-catcher on his first start for Hilal Kobeissi when not beaten far in third at Wolverhampton last month, CURRUMBIN is entitled to build upon that effort and he may be able to break the maiden at the 12th time of asking. Hill Station didn't do himself any favours when taking a keen hold over C&D last time out, but he is capable on his day, as well as Fravanco, who should be suited by dropping back in trip.

CURRUMBIN has slipped in the weights and took a firm step back in the right direction when third on debut for this yard at Wolverhampton, so he's worth taking a chance on in a wide-open contest. In-form pair Fravanco and Highland Slipper are others to consider.

Henry Candy's HIGHLAND SLIPPER ran his best race last time out and this lightly-raced 3yo edges preference in the new cheekpieces.

OVERNIGHT OATS is in the form of his life at present and stepping back up in trip should not inconvenience as he looks to follow up on a comfortable success over 7f at Wolverhampton. A mark of 55 is still much lower than his career best and the four-year-old is likely to have too much for Brighton second River Wharfe and Star Of Atlantis, who can improve on her first start for new connections at Southwell.

OVERNIGHT OATS is one of many from his yard that are thriving at the moment and, having only gone up 4 lb for his latest success, he's well fancied to complete the hat-trick. River Wharfe arrives on the back of a solid showing and looks a danger, while Star of Atlantis is unexposed for her current stable.

This can go to the resurgent 4yo OVERNIGHT OATS (nap), who has won at Wolverhampton on his last two starts and remains well treated.
