A switch in tactics paid dividends for PALADIN on his latest start. Held up for a late challenge at Southwell, the son of Justify produced a strong finish to open his account on the all-weather, and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him. King David won over 7f at Kempton back in September and can feature again having gone close at Southwell last time, while Enpassant is noted too.

ENPASSANT isn't one to have maximum faith in given his poor strike rate and tendency to miss the break, but he certainly possesses more than enough ability to defy his current mark, so he's well worth another chance in a less competitive handicap. King David and recent Southwell winner Paladin are considered the main threats.

A small field but hard to rule out many with confidence. ENPASSANT is on a dangerous mark and is just preferred over Paladin.

MASTER TECHNICIAN found the step up to a mile beyond him when finishing fourth in a nursery at Kempton. Rod Millman's charge had returned the convincing winner of a decent maiden race over this distance at Musselburgh before that and gets another chance back in novice company. Mister Mcgregor gave the impression he would appreciate this extra furlong when narrowly beaten over 6f at Southwell, while The Thames Lady is another to note.

A weak novice and a good opportunity for MASTER TECHNICIAN to quickly resume winning ways under a penalty. Mister McGregor was only just denied in a nursery at Southwell and rates the main threat ahead of newcomer Dynamic Charge.

The Thames Lady isn't fully exposed but MASTER TECHNICIAN looks the one to beat despite his penalty.

THIS FARH went close over 6f at Brighton back in August and that looks the strongest piece of form on offer. David Loughnane's charge has been gelded since and pedigree suggests this stiffer test of stamina will suit. Black Falcon posted an improved effort when fifth at Chelmsford and could have more to offer, while Almutraf showed a bit more at Kempton last time.

THIS FARH is worth another chance to confirm debut promise back from a break in a novice that looks even weaker than the first division. Black Falcon is next best ahead of Almutraf.

The betting should be revealing in a race in which few have offered significant promise. THIS FARH is the tentative selection.

Having overcome a troubled passage to score on his stable bow at Southwell 12 days ago, EARLY RELEASE makes plenty of appeal on his follow-up bid. David Evans' charge scored a shade cosily on that occasion and he can take a 4lb rise in his stride. The biggest threat may emerge from all-weather debutant Kiss Me My Love, who is likely to prove more competitive in these calmer waters. An improved bid from Marvelously in first-time blinkers likely beckons too.

EARLY RELEASE looked well bought at just 1,500 gns when making a winning debut for this yard at Southwell 12 days ago, leading on bridle 2f out and always holding on. He's fancied to make a bold bid to follow up from his revised mark, with nursery-debutant Makes Me Wonder, Kiss Me My Love and Flicka's Girl others to consider.

Stall 10 isn't ideal for the otherwise solid Early Release and maybe FRIDAY AGAIN can build on the promise of her qualifying runs.

KYLIAN lost little in defeat when a close-up second at Southwell three weeks ago and compensation could be on the horizon. Archie Watson's charge is still open to improvement and a 1lb rise shouldn't inconvenience him. Recent Wolverhampton runner-up Existent warrants consideration racing off an unchanged mark, but this rise in class may prove beyond him. With that in mind, triple C&D winner Bedford Flyer is put forward as the main danger.

Having been given a chance by the handicapper, EXISTENT dropped his biggest hint yet that he could be ready to end the drought when a good second at Wolverhampton 4 days ago, just failing, and he's given the narrow vote back up in grade, with his rider taking off a handy 3 lb. Kylian and Bedford Flyer also arrive on the back of solid efforts and can provide chief resistance.

Kylian and Bedford Flyer should be involved but THE THAMES BOATMAN is taken to maintain his unbeaten course record.

ROYAL CHAMPION is an intriguing stable debutant for the Karl Burke team on his return to the UK after a spell in Australia. Although only 10th in the Group 1 Champion Stakes at Flemington last month, a reproduction of his penultimate second in a Group 2 at Moonee Valley is likely to prove too strong for these rivals. Tyrrhenian Sea arrives on the back of a respectable third in a Listed event at Newcastle and he may give his former stablemate most to think about, ahead of Auld Toon Loon.

ROYAL CHAMPION possesses much the best form on offer so is taken to make a winning start for Karl Burke at the chief expense of last year's victor Tyrrhenian Sea. Fantasy Believer and Auld Toon Loon can fight it out for minor honours.

Although ROYAL CHAMPION came up short in Australia, he still ran to a useful level and can make a winning stable/AW debut.

Narrowly denied in her bid to remain unbeaten at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, the unexposed ZANDITA could be well treated off a mark of 76 on her handicap debut and she can regain the winning thread. Revolutionise is another with valid form claims, along with the recent Southwell runner-up Justcallmepete. Monsieur Beaulieu is also noted, having done well since arriving from France.

This is wide open but MONSIEUR BEAULIEU rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his very good recent Southwell second so edges the vote. Batal Dubai made a promising start for his new yard when fourth at Chelmsford City and heads the list of dangers, although the likes of Extrication, Thapa VC, Revolutionise and Zandita all need factoring in too.

He's been expensive to follow this year but BATAL DUBAI is on a dangerous mark and 7f looks an avenue well worth exploring.

A comfortable winner over C&D recently, SUPREME KING is turned out under a 5lb penalty and that may not be enough to prevent him from landing the double. David Evans' charge gets the vote ahead Acklam Express, who has been placed on two of his last three starts over 5f and may appreciate going up in distance. Dashing Harry is another to consider.

REBEL EMPIRE has turned a corner in his last couple of runs and if taking up this engagement following an excellent second on Sunday, he is the one who appeals the most. Although not the most straightforward, Acklam Express has done little wrong in three runs on the AW this winter and rates as the main danger. Supreme King is respected under a penalty while any market support for Lequinto would be significant.

Supreme King looks well in under a penalty but MART (nap) had an excuse last time and he can enhance his good record over C&D.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A slightly unlucky second when slowly away and beaten a neck here over 1m2f earlier in the month, LOST IN TIME should appreciate going back up in trip and he gets the vote off 1lb higher. Narrowly denied at Wolverhampton last time out, Paradoxical can give him the most think about, while Kojin and The Colorist cannot be ruled out either.

Successful on his penultimate start, PARADOXICAL ran another solid race when just touched off at Wolverhampton 5 days ago and he looks to hold sound claims back up in trip, with his yard continuing amongst the winners. Fullforward and Lost In Time are others fancied to play lead roles. Beau Vintage also makes each-way appeal.

Lost In Time and PARADOXICAL appeal most in a competitive race. The latter is preferred despite still having his stamina to prove.
