BEALE STREET scored with more in hand than the winning margin suggests when landing the spoils over this trip at Newcastle recently and he should prove tough to stop despite a 4lb rise. Dark Side Thunder wasn't seen to best effect when fourth over C&D last time out but it wasn't a poor effort and he commands respect off an unchanged mark, while this drop to 6f could see Cargin Bhui go well.

BEALE STREET moved through the race in the manner of a well-handicapped horse when winning at Newcastle earlier this month, and he may be able to defy a 4 lb rise. Two-time course winner My Awele could bounce back to form for a return to this track, while fellow C&D winners Dark Side Thunder and Mumayaz are also worthy of consideration.

Back down in trip with new headgear fitted, ZIGGY'S CONDOR gets the vote. Cargin Bhui is second choice.

DIVIDEND appeared to relish the step up to this trip when running out a taking winner at Kempton last September and, provided he is fully tuned up on his return from an absence, he looks the one to beat. Chesneys Charm went down narrowly over a mile at Newcastle when last seen and a bold bid looks likely off 1lb higher. City Of God is also respected.

CITY OF GOD, due to race off a 2 lb higher mark in future, can make amends having been denied by a fellow improving sort on handicap debut 10 days ago. Dividend caught the eye with a smooth-travelling victory at Kempton when last seen, he's feared ahead of San Juanito who may improve for the switch to handicaps.

All of the runners can be viewed positively. The highest points go to CITY OF GOD, ahead of San Juanito and Dividend.

CAVOLO NERO scored in the style of a promising individual when landing the spoils over this track and trip on his debut last month and, with the promise of more to come, he gets the vote to bring up a double. Bozeman caught the eye when staying on into fifth over this trip at Kempton on his debut and the son of Mehmas warrants the utmost respect for the Ralph Beckett team. Western Ruler is respected too.

CAVOLO NERO proved very professional when making a winning debut over C&D just over 6 weeks ago and, with improvement on the cards, James Ferguson's charge gets the nod to remain unbeaten at the expense of Bozeman, who was left poorly placed but showed plenty to work on when fifth at Kempton on debut last month. Andrew Balding saddles a couple of newcomers and market support should be noted.

As regards the runners with experience, C&D winner Cavolo Nero holds obvious claims while BOZEMAN is an interesting alternative.

Ten Commitments is effective over 7f and is notable debuting for Scott Dixon off 6lb higher than his Kempton success over a mile when last seen. However, the thriving SOAMES FORSYTE is hard to overlook after scoring comprehensively over C&D 16 days ago. His revised rating demands more but his proven course form earns him the vote. Onemorenomore can also figure for a place.

SOAMES FORSYTE added a second success this winter to his tally over C&D earlier in the month and, remaining well treated on old form, Michael Herrington's 6-y-o can make it 3 wins from his last 4 outings. The main threat may emerge from Ten Commitments, who was last seen in winning action at Kempton in October and has since joined Scott Dixon. Onemorenomore is picked for third.

In-form SOAMES FORSYTE (nap) is taken to record another C&D success. Chola Empire is second pick.

KING OF ITHACA has won with Rossa Ryan in the saddle before and being reunited with that in-form jockey is a highly persuasive aspect in the favour of the five-year-old. Allied to that, he is already a dual C&D winner that has fared very well with a plumb draw in stall one. Cliffcake made all to win over 6f here last time and should also figure if the cheekpieces have the same impact second time around. Mereside Madness and Bomb Squad are others with place possibilities.

Having bagged a second C&D success in November, KING OF ITHACA again ran well and could arguably be considered a shade unlucky when third at Kempton on his latest start 39 days ago, just failing having come from a long way back. He can confirm the promise of that effort and resume winning ways. Cliffcake and Mereside Madness head up the dangers in a competitive heat.

Preference is for KING OF ITHACA, who has solid C&D form. Mereside Madness is second choice.

The family tradition of excelling with middle-distance horses has only been enhanced since Charlie Johnston took over the training license from his father, and although SAX APPEAL has limitations, he is still on a feasible mark and this could be a good piece of placement as he bids to complete a hat-trick off just 4lb higher than for the latest of his two recent Wolverhampton successes. Charlie's Choice also won at the same venue latest and is feared most under a 5lb penalty. Hitched is another solid option.

SAX APPEAL has been revitalised by the application of blinkers, registering back-to-back victories over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton in recent weeks, and he looks up to completing the hat-trick. David Simcock's fellow in-form pair Charlie's Choice and Hitched can provide chief resistance.

Having posted two convincing wins at Wolverhampton since the blinkers went on, SAX APPEAL can make it 3-3 in the headgear.

TRIBAL ACT impressed when coming away to record a wide margin success at Kempton last month and the son of Sea The Stars, who is related to a couple of useful types, looks more than capable of defying a penalty. Paratrooper kept on into second over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on his debut but he can be more potent now upped in trip, while Lady Vivian, who cost 160,000gns as a yearling, warrants a market check having spent 107 days on the sidelines.

TRIBAL ACT looked good in a maiden over this trip at Kempton last month and looks up to defying a penalty. Paratrooper is the obvious chief threat after his encouraging debut at Wolverhampton at the beginning of the month. Lady Vivian has the potential to leave her Lingfield debut behind for Ralph Beckett, while well-bred William Haggas newcomer Luxmundi needs monitoring in the betting.

Godolphin's TRIBAL ACT was impressive at Kempton last month on his second start and can defy a penalty and follow up.

The draw hasn't been kind to Sun Keeper, who must shoulder a penalty having opened her account at Wolverhampton recently. She merits respect nonetheless though, but it is HYPE MERCHANT that shades preference. David Loughnane's charge struck the crossbar over 7f on his seasonal return at Chelmsford recently but with a drop in trip likely to suit, he can go one place better. Any market support for handicap debutant Martha Costello would be noteworthy.

Dropping back to 6f should help HYPE MERCHANT, who stepped up on his low-key 2-y-o turf form when runner-up on recent all-weather debut back from a break over 7f at Chelmsford. He makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here. Due Respect failed to justify favouritism when fourth in a handicap on that same Chelmsford card 15 das ago but she's now 2 lb lower and looks dangerous, while recent Wolverhampton scorer Sun Keeper and Bank On Kent are others with claims.

The in-form Alice Haynes struck with SUN KEEPER at Wolverhampton last week and this unexposed filly can follow up under a penalty.
