In a wide-open event, marginal preference is for HEDGE FUND, who bumped into a very well-handicapped rival when filling second place on his return to action at Bath. Given the winner of that contest has subsequently scored at Listed level, this son of Profitable merits plenty of respect off the same mark. Rogue Enforcer progressed well as a juvenile and may have more improvement left to come, while Serried Ranks has serious claims based on the pick of his form. Others to note include Dark Vintage, Miaharris and Shagraan.

SPORTS COACH boasts a progressive profile and his stable can do no wrong at present, so he's fancied to land a hat-trick switched to handicaps after 4 months off. Tan Rapido might have been let in lightly off 82, so he's regarded as the main threat ahead of Serried Ranks.

Hedge Fund shaped well on his return but EQUITY LAW is better than he showed in that Bath event and he can take a big step forward.

HAND OF GOD improved with each start as a juvenile and was last seen getting off the mark in impressive fashion at Newmarket in October. An opening mark of 88 for the son of Churchill should be workable, especially as his pedigree suggests that he will progress further as a three-year-old. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Royal Supremacy and Cracking Gold appear to be the pick of them.

Always a very useful 3-y-o handicap. An opening mark in the high 80s looks manageable for HAND OF GOD on the back of his taking Newmarket maiden success last autumn so he gets the vote under Ryan Moore. Cracking Gold and Cuban Tiger have done well on AW this year and are feared most.

Hand Of God is an intriguing handicap debutant but CRACKING GOLD can resume winning ways now upped to 1m for the first time.

Desert Hero merits plenty of respect on his return to action having filled third place in the St Leger on his most recent outing. That said, this trip may be on the sharp side for him and preference is for OKEECHOBEE, who chased home a high-class rival on his return from a 550-day break in a Listed event at Kempton. With the benefit of that outing, Harry Charlton's unexposed gelding could go one place better. Israr and Flying Honours both have the ability to go well but also have some questions to answer, while Checkandchallenge should not be underestimated.

OKEECHOBEE hasn't yet achieved as much as the likes of Israr and Desert Hero but there are reasons to oppose that pair at the forecast prices, and with the Harry Charlton-trained 5-y-o shaping very nicely on reappearance, he receives the vote.

Having returned from a long absence with a very promising Listed second, the unexposed 5yo OKEECHOBEE is taken to go one better.

A progressive sort towards the end of last season with three victories in four starts, including a Group 2 at Longchamp, POKER FACE could be just the type to excel at five. The son of Fastnet Rock has run well here before and is narrowly preferred to Nostrum, who didn't quite hit the heights expected of him in 2023 but is of interest for a master trainer who is an expert with older horses. Charyn impressed on his return at Doncaster but may prefer softer ground, while Flight Plan has ground to find with the selection but was a taking winner at Leopardstown last September.

NOSTRUM has looked like a potential star at times in his short career to date, including when scoring on return as a 3-y-o, so Sir Michael Stoute's colt is fancied to repeat the feat at the expense of Lord North, who was unable to land a fourth successive victory in the Dubai Turf at Meydan last month but rates a major player with Buick on board for the first time. Charyn was impressive at Doncaster last month, so he's another who shouldn't be far away, too.

Doncaster Mile winner CHARYN (nap) is taken to show further progress and follow up. Nostrum is feared most.

Already a best-priced 12/1 for the Derby, ARABIAN CROWN can take this en route, having ended last season with an impressive success over this distance in the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket. Three from four as a two-year-old, the son of Dubawi should have too much for Macduff, who gave every indication he would relish a step up in trip when staying on for fourth in the Royal Lodge. Similar comments may apply to the unexposed War Rooms, while recent Naas second Portland will attempt to provide Aidan O'Brien with just his second victory in this event.

ARABIAN CROWN is as short as 12/1 for the Derby and this exciting prospect can make a winning return. Macduff seems sure to improve also this year and looks the danger, with Remaadd and War Rooms a couple of other good prospects.

Arabian Crown was impressive in a soft-ground Zetland Stakes, while MACDUFF should have more to offer.

Secret Satire took a big leap forward from her introduction to score by just over a length at Lingfield in October but she does have a 6lb penalty to carry, which makes life a lot tougher. With that in mind, BEELEY looks the way to go. John & Thady Gosden's filly was denied by the smallest of margins over an extended mile at Nottingham and although withdrawn at the start twice since, she appears a smart prospect. De Ville cost 625,000gns and could improve on her Wolverhampton fourth.

SECRET SATIRE was much improved from her debut when winning at Lingfield in October and, with this further step up in trip promising to suit, she is taken to make a winning return. She can get the better of Beeley, who shaped well on her first outing and also holds an entry in the Oaks, while newcomer Siyola could be capable of playing a part.

The three Oaks entries bring the best form. BEATRICE SHILLING gets the percentage call ahead of Secret Satire then Beeley.

Queen Of Atlantis is seeking the four-timer after getting the job done by a nose at Lingfield in January, but she will need to prove she is as effective back on turf. For that reason, a chance can be taken on GOODWOOD ODYSSEY, who was beaten a length by a potentially nice type over a mile at Kempton and now makes his handicap debut, with the step up in trip another possible source of improvement. Offer And Receive warrants a market check on his return after being gelded.

Cases can be made for several of these, with handicap debutants GOODWOOD ODYSSEY, Brioni and Offer And Receive arguably the trio with the greatest potential. The first-named shades preference having shaped as though more than ready for this step up in trip when runner-up on his reappearance at Kempton. Endosser, Monsieur Melee and Spaceport are live each-way candidates.

The Muir/Grassick yard won the latest running of this race in 2022 and SPACEPORT catches the eye on his reappearance.
