1st: 2.5/1 (4) TEUMESSIAS FOX 2nd: 7/1 (10) VAYNOR 3rd: 4.5/1 (7) CRYSTAL DELIGHT

Having been gelded prior to his winter break, TEUMESSIAS FOX bounced back to form in style when running out a bloodless winner at Kempton. The son of Lope De Vega is now 10lb higher back on the grass, but he remains open to further improvement and that rise could underestimate him. Crystal Delight has been knocking on the door on the all-weather and he's respected, along with Vaynor, who returns to the fray in search of his hat-trick. Moktasaab might not be far away either.

A tricky start to proceedings but CRYSTAL DELIGHT wasn't seen to best effect when finishing runner-up at Lingfield 11 weeks ago, so William Jarvis' unexposed 4-y-o gets the verdict to double his tally at the expense of Teumessias Fox, who couldn't have been much more impressive when making a winning reappearance at Kempton a couple of months ago. Vaynor and Capital Theory can fight out third spot.

Having threatened more than he delivered on occasions, TEUMESSIAS FOX (nap) returned from a gelding operation to win in fine style.

1st - 4/1 (3) GALE FORCE MAYA 2nd - 4.5/1 (1) AZURE BLUE 3rd - 8/1 (5) HEREDIA

GALE FORCE MAYA (fourth) was giving Azure Blue (winner) 4lb when the pair met over C&D in October, but it would be no surprise were Michael Dods' charge, who was progressive last season, to reverse that form on revised terms. Makarova outran her odds to finish second in that same contest and she merits respect, despite having a bit to find once again. Irish-raider Spring Feeling was last seen finishing a good third at Group level and the unexposed filly could rate higher yet.

Michael Dods looks to hold a strong hand here and his upwardly-mobile filly AZURE BLUE is fancied to resume where she left off last autumn and capture another C&D listed success. Fellow C&D scorer Gale Force Maya is more exposed but goes well fresh and she rates the chief threat to her stablemate, although George Boughey's duo Perdika and Queen Olly need considering too along with Irish-challenger Spring Feeling.

The shortlist is headed by the George Boughey-trained fillies QUEEN OLLY and Perdika. Third choice is Azure Blue.

1st: 11/1 (17) LEAP ABROAD 2nd: 6.5/1 (11) TANMAWWY 3rd: 10/1 (16) PROBE

In a wide-open contest, only a tentative vote can go to BLACKROD. The son of Mayson was well in command when winning this from a 2lb lower mark last year, and he might be able to repeat the feat following a recent pipe-opener at Kempton. Tanmawwy defied market weakness only to be narrowly denied at Newbury on his return to action. He is 2lb well-in and merits respect, as do Probe, Chairmanoftheboard, Lethal Levi and Popmaster.

A fiercely competitive sprint in which Charles Hills's TANMAWWY edges the vote given he shaped promisingly when runner-up at Newbury last time and can race off an unchanged mark here. Probe has made an excellent start to life with Jennie Candlish and is feared most, although Admiral D, Leap Abroad and Chairmanoftheboard are others who can have a say.

The answer to a highly competitive sprint could be the progressive 4yo LEAP ABROAD who shaped well when fourth at the Craven meeting.

1st - 5.5/1 (12) MAJESTIC 2nd - 6/1 (8) JIMI HENDRIX 3rd - 12/1 (1) CADILLAC

Saga sports first-time cheekpieces back off a break and the now-gelded son of Invincible Spirit should not be underestimated. However, TURNTABLE landed a double when scoring over 1m2f at this track in October and is fancied to make a winning return to action for his new trainer, even though he is rated 5lb higher. Jimi Hendrix has to shoulder a 5lb penalty following a facile victory in the Spring Cup at Newbury, while Dutch Decoy is interesting stepping up slightly in trip.

Course-specialist TURNTABLE appeals as one who might up his game again for new trainer Harry Eustace so he's the suggestion. Newbury Spring Cup winner Jimi Hendrix will be a major threat if the blinkers work again. Royal runner Saga is sure to have his supporters and he's a contender if a change of headgear helps him to bounce back to last year's Britannia form. Cambridgeshire 1-3 Majestic and Dual Identity are others to consider in this ultra-competitive handicap.

This race looks red-hot but Cambridgeshire winner MAJESTIC gets the vote ahead of course specialist Turntable and Jimi Hendrix.

1st: 3.33/1 (14) TWILIGHT CALLS 2nd: 14/1 (10) RAASEL 3rd: 20/1 (5) EQUILATERAL

An impressive winner of a Group 3 at Dundalk back in October, Irish challenger Manaccan has to be considered a leading candidate. Even so, it could be worth siding with VADREAM, who bounced back in emphatic style when landing the Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster and then finished a fair sixth on All-Weather Championships Finals Day. C&D winner Twilight Calls was last seen chasing home Australian sensation Nature Strip in the King's Stand and is another to consider.

MANACCAN enjoyed a tremendous 2022 and looks a sprinter going places, one who could make the breakthrough at the highest level this year. He can make a successful return from stall 1 under Frankie Dettori. It looks a red-hot renewal of the Palace House and good cases can be made for plenty of others, Twilight Calls and Equality chief amongst them.

Twilight Calls is a contender but RAASEL made a painless transition from handicaps in 2022 and can add to his Group 3 win in July.

1st: 8/1 (2) CHALDEAN 2nd: 4/1 (10) LITTLE BIG BEAR 3rd: 2/1 (1) AUGUSTE RODIN

A gripping renewal of the 2000 Guineas, with several eyecatching contenders lining up, including Little Big Bear, who bolted up in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh when last seen. His stablemate AUGUSTE RODIN is narrowly preferred, though, with the son of Deep Impact looking a potential star when registering a striking success in the Vertem Futurity at Doncaster, and connections could harbour Triple Crown ambitions. Things didn't go to plan in the Greenham for Chaldean, who unseated Frankie Dettori coming out of the stalls, but he was impressive in the Dewhurst here.

AUGUSTE RODIN did everything right at 2 and can become the fourth horse (and third from his yard) since 2018 to complete the Futurity/2000 Guineas double. His stablemate Little Big Bear is bred to stay 1m and would be a major threat if reproducing anything close to his Phoenix Stakes form. Chaldean suffered an unfortunate experience on his reappearance but his juvenile form stacks up well and he can prove best of the home team ahead of Sakheer, who is already smart but isn't certain to stay 1m.

One who stays 1m well is preferred to the high-profile candidates who need to stretch their stamina, so AUGUSTE RODIN gets the vote.

1st: 3/1 (3) SHAQUILLE 2nd: 6.5/1 (7) EXPERT AGENT 3rd: 7.5/1 (9) ALMATY STAR

SHAQUILLE has made quite the start to his fledgling career and the form of his most recent success at Wolverhampton looks even stronger than it did at the time. The booking of James Doyle is another plus and he gets the vote ahead of the unexposed Buccabay and Expert Agent, who is three from three on the all-weather since being gelded. Eminency was unlucky when not getting the clearest of runs at Kempton last month and he must also enter calculations.

Plenty with chances but EMINENCY looked extremely unlucky not to win on his reappearance at Kempton 17 days ago and is worth backing to make amends. Expert Agent has done nothing but improve since undergoing a gelding operation and there's no reason why he can't transfer his all-weather form to turf. Ferrous shaped better than the bare result on his C&D handicap debut and completes the shortlist.

Ferrous has more to offer but EMINENCY can confirm the promise of his Kempton fourth.

1st: 2.5/1 (5) STRIKING STAR 2nd: 2.5/1 (1) YACOWLEF 3rd: 2.5/1 (3) DIVINE LIBRA

Marginal preference is for CHARTWELL HOUSE, who ran an excellent race on his return over C&D last month when staying on for third behind a couple of upwardly-mobile colts. An unchanged mark of 82 still looks feasible and he is preferred to Yacowlef, a solid second over 6f at the Craven meeting here, and Striking Star, who is bred to be much better than this level. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Choisya, Divine Libra and Verdansk.

A typically competitive three-year-old handicap, with the top-weight YACOWLEF fancied to go one the better than when an excellent second over 6f here at the Craven Meeting. Godolphin's regally-bred Striking Star has the pedigree to prove much better than his opening mark and rates as a major threat, with Choisya, Chartwell House and Prospering others to consider.

The shortlist is headed by YACOWLEF and Chartwell House who both performed well here on Craven day. Choisya is third choice.
