ARREST finished last season in fine form, with a victory here in the Geoffrey Freer and a highly-creditable second in the St Leger behind subsequent Arc de Triomphe fifth Continuous. With an entry for the Yorkshire Cup next month, the strapping son of Frankel can take this en route to York, with the top-rated Hamish looking best placed to chase him home, despite a 3lb penalty. William Haggas' veteran is unbeaten in his last four starts and ground conditions should be in his favour as he looks to uphold form with Al Qareem (second) from a Group 3 at Newmarket in November.

The first double-figure field since 2010 in this Group 3, with the eight-year-old HAMISH fancied to make it 5 wins in a row. William Haggas' gelding has conditions to suit and is a particularly reliable type, so sets a good benchmark for last season's St Leger second Arrest to aim at. Al Qareem was just behind the selection in the St Simon Stakes when last seen and is another leading player.

The high-profile candidate is ARREST (nap), the St Leger runner-up, and he looks the type to carry on his good work.

A confident vote goes to RELIEF RALLY, who can get off to the perfect start for her new owners following a highly profitable two-year-old campaign. A comfortable winner of the Super Sprint here over 5f before stepping back up in grade to land the Group 2 Lowther in decisive fashion over 6f, the daughter of Kodiak looks just the type to improve for going up in trip here. Regal Jubilee impressed when scoring in Listed company at Newmarket in November and she must enter calculations, along with Folgaria, whose Group-winning form in Italy is hard to judge. A half-sister to the mighty Benbatl, Southwell debut winner Elmalka has a pedigree fitting of this level.

REGAL JUBILEE improved in big chunks on both outings since her debut last season and she's very much the sort to go on improving this term, so she takes marginal preference over the likeable Relief Rally, who sets the standard on what's been achieved to this point. Impressive debut winner Elmalka is another one to consider in what looks a potentially good renewal.

The only runners who hold entries in the 1,000 Guineas are ELMALKA, Star Music and Regal Jubilee, preferred in that order.

Unbeaten at two and a comfortable winner of a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud on his last start, Zoum Zoum is bound to be popular for a stable that looks to have a strong crop of three-year-olds this year. However, better value may lie with BALLYMOUNT BOY, a scorer in pattern company himself at Doncaster in October and runner-up over this distance in the Group 3 Acomb at York's Ebor meeting. James Doyle retaining the ride is another plus and it may be Mill Reef second Mister Sketch that is best placed to chase him home. Coventry second Army Ethos is entitled to be thereabout as well, despite a surprising reverse at Newcastle on his return last month.

ZOUM ZOUM looked smart when winning all 3 outings last year and can stretch his unbeaten record to 4 on his return to the track. Wathnan Racing pair Ballymount Boy and Mister Sketch may give Ralph Beckett's charge most to think about.

There was lots to like about the 2yo campaign of BALLYMOUNT BOY and he's taken to make a winning return.

RAADOBARG posted some very creditable efforts in pattern company last season and even though this is no 'gimme' under top weight, he arrives on the back of a fine third in the Irish Lincoln last month and can show his rivals the way home for a trainer/jockey combination who operate at a 19% strike rate when teaming up. Lattam was last seen finishing an excellent second in the Lincoln at Doncaster on his first start for this stable last month and, nudged up 3lb for that, he can make his presence felt. The unexposed Godwinson is a fascinating contender on his handicap debut and he warrants respect.

William Haggas' GODWINSON looks to have got in lightly for his first venture into handicaps so this lightly raced Saxon Warrior colt gets the vote. Lattam shaped with promise on his first run for Julie Camacho when runner-up in the Lincoln and heads the list of dangers, although a good case can also be made for Navagio, Thunder Ball and Noble Order in a cracking Spring Cup.

An opening mark of 88 looks more than manageable for GODWINSON. Second choice is Real Gain.

ECONOMICS shaped with plenty of promise when staying on to take fourth over 7f at Newmarket on his debut in November, form which has been well advertised since, and the son of Night Of Thunder edges preference now stepping up in trip with that experience under his belt. Of the newcomers, 185,000-euro purchase Under Siege appeals most but the betting market may provide more clues, while Clove Hitch should appreciate this longer distance after finishing fifth over 6f on her debut at Newbury last term.

ECONOMICS shaped well in a good Newmarket maiden in November and this Dante/Derby entrant looks the one to beat. Pasha left her debut behind when sixth in a big field at Newmarket in September and is next best starting out for a new yard, while Amphius makes the most appeal of the newcomers.

This can go to ECONOMICS who showed plenty of promise when fourth on last November's Newmarket debut. The first three have won since.

HIDDEN LAW went close to making a winning start to his career when runner-up to a well-bred Juddmonte colt at Southwell last month, with the pair pulling well clear of the third, and Charlie Appleby's charge wouldn't need to improve much from that display to go one better today. Clockwatcher stepped forward from his debut to go close at Kempton in February and is unlikely to hang around on the front end. Far L'amore and Clockmaker are others worth considering.

A maiden that looks sure to throw up future winners and it's HIDDEN LAW who gets the vote having been unfortunate to lose out on the nod at Southwell just over 3 weeks ago. He can get the better of Clockwatcher, who was still green but took a big step forward when finishing runner-up at Kempton in February, while Mycoloursoryours and Environment Amigo are both once-raced and are open to improvement, too.

The choice is HIDDEN LAW who is bred to be useful and can gain compensation for a narrow defeat on last month's Southwell debut.

Prince Maxi tasted defeat at short odds when filling the runner-up spot under a 7lb penalty at Wolverhampton last month. However, the switch to handicap company and the booking of William Buick offers plenty of encouragement that he can be very competitive. The vote, though, goes to CRACKSKING. He built on some promising efforts to shed the maiden tag at Newcastle in October and a subsequent gelding operation may yield a fair amount of improvement. Graham and Oj Lifestyle are others capable of being in the mix.

The unexposed CRACKSKING deservedly opened his account at Newcastle in October and, with the promise of better to come, he could be the answer to this competitive handicap. Graham also signed off last season on a winning note and he doesn't look badly treated up 3 lb, while Baltimore Boy could be a threat with his encouraging reappearance fifth at Kempton under his belt. Entrancement is also worthy of consideration.

It may be worth chancing EXPRESSIONLESS who should appreciate conditions and has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark.
