Based on the information provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 0.67/1 (2) DESERT MASTER and 3.5/1 (1) BILOXI BOY seem like strong contenders, with 0.67/1 (2) DESERT MASTER potentially finishing in 1st and 3.5/1 (1) BILOXI BOY in 2nd or 3rd. 5/1 (3) SERRIED RANKS also has potential, but the betting market may give a better indication of its chances.

DESERT MASTER should have learned plenty from his debut second at Ripon last month and he looks more than capable of winning at this level. The selection faces off against two newcomers, with Biloxi Boy perhaps proving the biggest threat. Karl Burke's colt is a half-brother to the useful Sioux Spirit and he isn't taken lightly if dealing with the likely testing conditions. Serried Ranks may come into his own once over further, but this will reveal more.

The newcomers are from good yards and it'll be interesting to see how they go in the betting but DESERT MASTER has to be the call on the back of his very promising debut effort at Ripon.

The two newcomers are interesting, but Ripon second DESERT MASTER should be hard to beat with the experience under his belt.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 1.1/1 (6) REGAL FANFARE seems like the strongest contender with her recent runner-up finish and improvement after time off. 3/1 (2) DECIPHER and 6/1 (1) AURORA CHARM also show potential for improvement and may finish in the top three. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1st: 1.1/1 (6) REGAL FANFARE 2nd: 3/1 (2) DECIPHER 3rd: 6/1 (1) AURORA CHARM

MYSTERIOUS LOVE didn't appear to enjoy the undulations at Newmarket on her return to action last month and, although she will need to improve on that effort to triumph in this contest, her previous efforts would give her a leading chance in these calmer waters. Regal Fanfare posted an improved effort when runner-up on her second start at Lingfield recently and is likely to prove popular, while Decipher is capable of better and completes the shortlist.

REGAL FANFARE showed improved form despite still seeming rough around the edges when runner-up at Lingfield 16 days ago and, with a pedigree to think she'll be even better over this 1f longer trip, she's a confident choice to get off the mark. Mysterious Love seemed unsuited by the track on her return at Newmarket and is better judged on her previous form in France. Decipher is a strong-looking filly who should have learnt from her debut and could have a say in proceedings, too.

This can go to REGAL FANFARE who only found one too good on her recent Lingfield return and should be suited by this stiffer test.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

1st: 1.88/1 (1) LITTLE JO 2nd: 1.63/1 (3) SHE'S GOT BOTTLE 3rd: 5/1 (6) BO TAIFAN

This could be dominated by the two penalised winners in SHE'S GOT BOTTLE and Little Jo, with slight preference for the former. Roger Fell's filly was a ready winner at Pontefract last Wednesday and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop her from completing a quick double. The aforementioned Little Jo is only 4lb higher here for his recent success at Redcar and another bold bid is expected, while Eton College shouldn't be underestimated racing off a career-low mark.

LITTLE JO had a lot in hand at Redcar last week so a 4 lb penalty seems unlikely to stop him if showing up here in similar form. Bo Taifan took a step forward when second at Chelmsford last week and may provide a bigger threat than She's Got Bottle, who enjoyed the run of the race when successful at Pontefract last Wednesday.

Preference is for recent impressive Pontefract winner SHE'S GOT BOTTLE who may have the race run to suit.

1st - 1.75/1 (1) ROGUE SEA 2nd - 1.5/1 (3) PERFUSE 3rd - 4.5/1 (2) CARLTON

Rogue Sea was a comfortable five and a half length victor on his debut and looks to have conditions in his favour once more, but he may struggle to give a 5lb penalty away to the Sir Michael Stoute-trained PERFUSE. The son of Lope De Vega shaped with huge promise on his first start at Pontefract, and he is fancied to progress from that display. Carlton drops back in trip and could have a say.

An interesting novice. PERFUSE had his Pontefract form boosted when the third won at Newcastle the other day so he gets the vote but Rogue Sea was impressive on his Yarmouth debut and is unlikely to go down without a fight, while Carlton couldn't cope with bottomless ground at Leicester last time but had shown promise on his Doncaster debut prior to that.

Despite the penalty it's hard to get away from ROGUE SEA who was so impressive when making a winning debut at Yarmouth last month.

1st: 1.2/1 (2) IATO'S ANGEL 2nd: 6.5/1 (3) TIAMAT 3rd: 4/1 (6) KAMANIKA

IATO'S ANGEL finished over eight lengths clear of the third when second last time at Musselburgh, and looks to have been well placed by her trainer Keith Dalgleish, as she is 5lb well-in. With the step back up in trip and conditions not likely to pose her any problems, she could be the one to beat. The main threat looks to be Kamanika, who just got up to score by a nose on her latest outing at Nottingham and has been raised 4lb for that success. Marmara Star is another to consider.

IATO'S ANGEL improved again when second at Musselburgh (pair clear) 12 days ago and, turned out from the same mark, he looks a long way ahead of the game. Marmara Star and Tiamat may do battle for second.

Already due another 5lb rise, IATO'S ANGEL (nap) holds strong claims having run so well in both starts since returning last month.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 0.8/1 (1) COVERDALE seems to be the strongest contender as it has recently won a handicap race and is carrying a penalty. 2.25/1 (2) EYETRAP is also a strong contender as it has won a race over the same course and distance and is expected to improve. 20/1 (3) LOOK BACK SMILING and 5/1 (4) ANOTHER DIMENSION are less likely to place based on their recent performances and lack of experience in handicap races. 1st: 0.8/1 (1) COVERDALE 2nd: 2.25/1 (2) EYETRAP 3rd: N/A

COVERDALE appeared to win with plenty in hand at Redcar last week and the son of Expert Eye looks set to double his tally under a 6lb penalty. Eyetrap made most when successful over C&D last month and will be a danger to all if allowed to dictate terms once again, while handicap debutant Another Dimension remains capable of better and cannot be ruled out either.

COVERDALE and Eyetrap boast similar profiles in that they both left their 2-y-o form well behind tackling a new trip when successful recently. Separating them isn't easy but the former overcame a poor track position at Redcar, so he narrowly shades the vote.

Marginal preference is for COVERDALE who won with some authority on his Redcar return and is still 1lb well in under his penalty.
Class & Speed Card

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 3.33/1 (2) DANDY SPIRIT appears to be the strongest contender, having won its last race and still being feasibly weighted under penalty. Star of Aria is also worth considering, as it finished just over a length behind 3.33/1 (2) DANDY SPIRIT last time and has a 5lb pull. 3/1 (1) CLOSE QUARTERS could be a player if it takes a step forward with the blinkers on. Predicted finishes: 1. 3.33/1 (2) DANDY SPIRIT 2. Star of Aria 3. 3/1 (1) CLOSE QUARTERS

Dandy Spirit (winner) had the measure of Star Of Aria (second) when winning at Wetherby 12 days ago, but the former must now saddle a 5lb penalty, and it would be no surprise were that form to be reversed. The vote goes to CLOSE QUARTERS, who appeared to wander around under pressure at Doncaster last month before plugging on for a creditable fourth. John Quinn's filly is bred to be far better than her current mark, though, and if first-time blinkers can have the desired effect she could open her account.

STAR OF ARIA was a pretty big eye-catcher when runner-up under a hands-and-heels ride and he's fancied to reverse the placings with Dandy Spirit on 5 lb better terms. Close Quarters looks best of the rest.

This may be fought out between old rivals Dandy Spirit and STAR OF ARIA. The latter can turn the tables on 5lb better terms.
