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

All In The Hips has winning form on a softer surface having scored at Down Royal when trained by Jack Davison, and with a victory on the all-weather as recently as March, she can go well. Deira Star is interesting if cheekpieces bring about any improvement, yet BOOM BOOM POW might have the edge. Having her first start as a three-year-old, and with Mark Winn claiming 5lb in the saddle, a repeat of her C&D second on soft ground last June may be all that is needed.

This looks to be AMERICAN ROSE's optimum trip and while she has to prove she's as effective on turf, she's the one to beat on her Southwell effort last time. All In The Hips and Deira Star are the obvious threats.

Preference is for AMERICAN ROSE, who resumed her progress when going close at Southwell and is on the same mark on this return to turf.

With very little form to work with, it may be best to take a chance on VALOUR AND SWAGGER, who represents a yard that can ready their juveniles, with the booking of Neil Callan to ride a bonus. A son of Blue Point, who handled cut in the ground, he won't need to be a world beater to get off the mark at the first attempt. Perelle represents the stable that won this in 2016 and 2019 so warrants respect, although Dapperling was a promising fifth at Kempton and might prove the bigger danger.

Richard Hannon's DAPPERLING is the percentage call with an outing under her belt, although a strong market move for Karl Burke newcomer Valour And Swagger would put a slightly different slant on things.

The vote goes to DAPPERLING, who made a promising start at Kempton last Monday and should improve for that experience.

Fairbanks has the best form on offer after his third to Forceful Speed at Pontefract, but he might need to take a step forward to win here. Liable is a son of Frankel out of an Oasis Dream mare so is bred to be above average, though whether he can act on this ground is open to question and LOVING FEELING gets the vote. A son of Sea The Stars, who won his maiden on a soft surface, he represents a stable in great form and could be the one to beat.

This may be fought out by the newcomers, with LOVING FEELING getting the tentative vote over Liable and Apolo in a race where the market should prove very informative.

There are several striking newcomers in the line-up and the tentative vote goes to Frankel colt LIABLE.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CRIMSON SAND found only a progressive rival too good over 5f at Chelmsford and a first-time hood could help settle Simon Earle's gelding over this stiffer test. Beyond Equal wasn't disgraced on his return to action when beaten just under three lengths at the Essex venue and the eight-year-old could prove the biggest threat now switched to the turf. Lil Guff also reverts to the grass and completes the shortlist.

Preference is for TYGER BAY, who has been in good heart this year and wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield last time. Lil Guff and Crimson Sand head the list of dangers.

Top of the list is LIL GUFF, who is 1lb lower than than for her last turf win and was a close third on Polytrack on her recent return.

With solid recent form quite thin on the ground, this could be a good opportunity for OH HERBERTS REIGN to get back on the scoresheet. Richard Hannon's inmate has been running with credit on the all-weather and switches to turf off a career-low mark. Dubai Immo may have been freshened up by a change of scenery having joined Stuart Williams' yard since meeting traffic problems at Wolverhampton in January. Broxi makes most appeal of the remainder.

OH HERBERTS REIGN arrives in reasonable form from AW and has a career-low mark to work with so he's the suggestion with the likely testing ground no issue for him. Carp Kid might repeat last year's reappearance course second. Broxi and Roundabout Silver also make the shortlist.

Top of the list is OH HERBERTS REIGN (nap), who is well treated on his old form and has run some solid races on AW this year.

Forest Demon looked capable of more when winning on his handicap debut at Kempton last summer, but he does need to prove his effectiveness for testing conditions so MACHO SUN rates a more solid proposition. The son of Camacho posted an improved bid when runner-up on his return in a classified event at Nottingham and that may have put him spot-on. Lunarscape faces a more realistic task than she did in an Ayr Group 3 and is another to consider now entering handicaps off what seems a fair mark.

FOREST DEMON was strong at the finish when getting off the mark in a 7f Kempton nursery last August and can make a successful return off a still handy-looking mark with this longer trip another positive. Both Bear Force and Apex start 2023 with better days ahead of them too and appeal as the duo to chase home the selection in that order.

An open race in which the vote goes to FOREST DEMON, who finished well to justify support in a Kempton handicap in his final 2yo run.

Unlike the majority of the field, GOLDEN DOVE arrives in top form from the all-weather and a drop in trip after her most recent win at Kempton should not inconvenience her, especially on testing ground. Warhol took a step back in the right direction when runner-up on heavy going at Epsom last September and he must enter calculations, while Geelong may still have potential off a mark of 68.

GOLDEN DOVE scores plenty of points for consistency and a 3 lb rise for a last-time-out win at Kempton last month should be within range. Geelong has gone well fresh and he can emerge as the chief threat, while the market may guide as to Warhol's well-being.

The one that appeals most is GOLDEN DOVE, who has won on soft ground in the past and has had a good spell on AW since November.

Not many of these are proven on heavy ground, but C&D winner BEAUTIFUL CROWN is and he arrives on the back of being narrowly denied at Chelmsford last month. Stepping back up in trip is another plus for him and he can see off Eklil, who has yet to run a bad race around here. Beryl Burton and No Such Luck, who is making his turf debut on his 23rd start, round out the shortlist.

A tight-knit handicap in which course winner EKLIL is taken to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and make a successful return. C&D scorer Beautiful Crown is second on the list ahead of in-form No Such Luck, who has his first go on turf.

The one to be with could be BEAUTIFUL CROWN, a C&D winner on heavy ground and whose latest AW run was highly encouraging.
