The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

CINNODIN left it late when winning over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in February and with further progress possible now upped in trip, he's taken to repeat the dose today. Sexy Rexy appeals as the main danger having struck the woodwork at Wolverhampton last month, but he was also engaged to run at Chelmsford on Thursday evening. First-time blinkers could elicit improvement from Philos and he can't be left out of calculations, while any market support would have to make Red Bird of interest ahead of his handicap bow.

CINNODIN looked a different proposition on his return (had been gelded) when making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in February, staying on well upped in trip, and he can score again with further improvement to come. Sexy Rexy should be suited by this longer distance and can pose the biggest threat to the selection, with Philos the pick of the remaining pair.

Red Bird is a likely improver but Wolverhampton winner CINNODIN isn't fully exposed himself and he can make it 2-2 in handicaps.

WARD CASTLE came with a late surge to defeat the reopposing Haven Lady (second) here last month. He escapes a penalty for that success and given Morgan Cole is able to claim her full 7lb this time around, Marco Botti's charge can confirm the form en route to another victory. Kitten's Dream remains on a fair mark and must be considered, along with the Ewan Whillans-trained Billy Bathgate.

WARD CASTLE scored comfortably when getting the better of Haven Lady at this course 10 days ago and Marco Botti's 4-y-o can confirm the placings with this longer trip to suit. The pair look the two to focus on in this contest, though Billy Bathgate has been going through a good spell of late and completes the shortlist.

Ward Castle is the obvious starting point but BILLY BATHGATE (nap) has been banging at the door and this may be his day.

H Key Lails was a decisive winner over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last month and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair, but a chance is taken on GOLDEN MAVERICK. He finished down the field in three qualifying runs over 6f, but this looks a more realistic assignment now stepping up in trip for this handicap debut and the booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye. Others to note include Equiami and Sundazed.

This can go the way of EQUIAMI, who showed improved form on the back of 6 months off/a gelding operation when third at Lingfield 11 days ago, unable to quite reel in a pair that were better positioned. H Key Lails got off the mark last time and is feared most, ahead of Deep Spirit.

Equiami nearly justified market confidence at Lingfield and should go close, but EMPIRE OF THE SUN can improve again.

It was always going to be tough pitching BALALAIKA in a Listed race when she was last seen but the daughter of No Nay Never did better than the face value of her finishing position would suggest and she is a strong contender now back in a handicap. Mystic Pearl made good progress last season and is taken very seriously, while Gareeb is another going the right way and gets in lightly on her handicap debut.

Having opened her account at Thirsk in September, MYSTIC PEARL ran well at Newmarket on her nursery debut next time and she can continue her progress on her return. She's taken to see off the challenge of Irish raider My Minervina, while Gareeb could fare best of the handicap debutantes.

Gareeb looks a likely improver on her return but MY MINERVINA is still fairly treated judged on her latest second at Dundalk.

It took 10 attempts for Spirit Of Bowland to get off the mark but he did it well and is respected in his bid to follow up last month's Newcastle success from just 2lb higher. He was also arguably an unlucky loser when he was short of room over C&D on his penultimate start, so is likely to again go well again. However, FAST DANSEUSE appeals more on these terms and edges preference based on her potential to improve over the trip. How Bizarre completes the shortlist.

SPIRIT OF BOWLAND confirmed the promise he'd shown from basement marks last year when opening his account at Newcastle (7f) 2 weeks ago and, despite a tricky draw, he could well be up to building on that given he remains relatively low-mileage compared to most here. Hostelry is feared, with Non Mollare and Fast Danseuse others to consider. Egoiste requires a market check back from an absence/following wind surgery.

Spirit Of Bowland is respected but it might be worth chancing the well-treated HOSTELRY on her return to action.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

BANQUO showed ability in two starts as a juvenile and, as his pedigree suggests the switch to a synthetic surface shouldn't be too much of an issue, he looks worth chancing on his stable debut/first start since being gelded. Tasever has also undergone the same operation since he was last seen and is another with scope to develop further. Tyke strikes as the most appealing of the newcomers and is worth a market check.

MAHBOOBAH and Banquo start out for new stables having just their third career outing, and both could improve, with preference for the former, whose debut effort is the strongest piece of form on offer.

Tasever and Banquo are respected but MAHBOOBAH ran well on debut and gets the nod on her first run for Alice Haynes.

MOJEYRR showed promise when staying on late for third on his debut at Kempton last month and that suggested he can get off the mark on this occasion. The James Ferguson yard is going through a purple patch at preset and Stormy Denise must enter calculations on the back of a promising effort over further at Chelmsford. Of the newcomers, Harriet's Angel and Profit Given should be noted for market support.

This looks an excellent opportunity for MOJEYRR to build on his promising debut third at Kempton last month. Stormy Denise showed definite promise on her Chelmsford debut and could be the one to chase the selection home unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomers Profit Given and/or Harriet's Angel.

Poppaea can leave her 2yo run well behind her this year but MOJEYRR looks the safest option after his promising debut.

This can go the way of CLOUD QUEEN, who ran a career-best when not beaten far at Lingfield on her handicap debut recently. The booking of Hollie Doyle should only aid her cause and she gets the vote ahead of veteran course winner Bobby Joe Leg and Hit Mac, who has long shaped as though he would relish a step up to this trip.

This can go to sole 3-y-o representative CLOUD QUEEN, who made a pleasing handicap bow at Lingfield earlier this month and likely has more to offer yet. Kath's Toyboy and Hit Mac are also respected.

Bobby Joe Leg looks booked for another good run but TOM TULLIVER may have his measure now returned to 7f.
