ASH WEDNESDAY proved far too strong for Bossy Parker (second) when recording a commanding C&D triumph earlier this month. An 8lb rise will ask more questions of Heather Main's gelding, but he's relatively unexposed compared to many of these and there might be more to come. Dundalk winner Viva Voce merits respect in a race of this nature, while Mashaan could find more for the addition of first-time cheekpieces.

ASH WEDNESDAY comprehensively made amends for a luckless effort the time before when landing the odds over C&D 11 days ago and looks capable of defying an 8 lb rise. Bossy Parker should finish closer to the selection this time on 8 lb better terms and is feared most ahead of Mashaan.

Bossy Parker should get closer to ASH WEDNESDAY this time but the latter was impressive last week and can shrug off an 8lb rise.

SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX went agonisingly close at Kempton last month and, off an unchanged mark and from a handy draw, he can go one place better. John Butler's gelding will have his challengers though, perhaps most notably in the shape of Ravenglass, who can benefit from a drop in trip. Star Of Atlantis landed classified honours at Southwell a fortnight ago and is respected back in a handicap.

STAR OF ATLANTIS found some improvement when off the mark in a minor event at Southwell 2 weeks ago, beating a next-time-out winner in the process, and can follow up back in a handicap. South Dakota Sioux and Ravenglass are feared most.

This can go to STAR OF ATLANTIS who was suited by the return to 7f at Southwell recently when beating a subsequent winner.

Radiant Beauty won over C&D recently and although respected off a 4lb raised mark, she likes to lead and the draw has not been kind to her. Partisan Hero and Imperial Fighter, also a C&D winner last time, are also likely to force the pace and that could set this up perfectly for HITCHED. The Cotai Glory gelding, who stays further than this, has risen a total of 19lb in the handicap since winning at Lingfield in November and he might not be done progressing yet.

RADIANT BEAUTY showed a good attitude to score here recently and, if she can get across to lead from a wide draw, she may well be capable of following up. Hitched also arrives at the top of his game and looks a big threat along with Partisan Hero.

The vote goes to PARTISAN HERO following a narrow defeat on his return from another lengthy absence at Southwell last month.

Having won two of his three starts over this trip, PAYMENT PLAN has the ability to make amends for failing to justify favouritism when third here on Boxing Day. If anything, this appears to be an easier assignment and, off the same mark, he looks worth persevering with. Sir Joseph Swan wasn't far behind in fifth in that race and rates another key player. Anisoptera and Lumberjack complete the shortlist.

PAYMENT PLAN is at the top of his game and would have gone closer to landing the hat-trick with a clear run over C&D last time. This doesn't look strong and he's fancied to resume winning ways at the possible expense of Typewritten, who shaped well from an unpromising position at Newcastle 8 days ago. Alex The Great isn't without hope.

The vote goes to recent dual Southwell winner PAYMENT PLAN, who had three of these behind when third off this mark over C&D last month.

Although a lot needs to be taken on trust, TORALOU was a promising second to Great Generation on her solitary previous start and has been found a weak opening on her return from a lengthy absence. Al Waqidi, who was 2-2 for Charlie Appleby, hasn't been seen since he won a novice stakes over 1m2f at Newmarket in April 2021 and carries obvious risk after such a lengthy period on the sidelines. Therefore, Bear Rock is put forward as the main danger.

The market will surely tell a tale given TORALOU has been off the track 18 months, Al Waqidi returning for a new yard following 3.5 years away and Twilight Diamond a newcomer and stablemate of the first-named horse. At this stage, Toralou gets the vote.

Preference is for TORALOU who showed plenty of promise when just losing out to a nice sort on her Haydock debut in the summer of 2023.

Last-time-out winners Buraback and SECOND COLLECTION appeal most, with the latter shading preference based on her potential to find a little more now she has proven that blinkers can aid her concentration. The application may have been instrumental in her determination to score over C&D last month and she has an obvious chance of following up off just 1lb higher. Similar comments apply to Buraback but a 5lb penalty does hinder his chance this time. Street Life and Spanish Angel complete the shortlist.

BURABACK cashed in on a falling mark over C&D on Monday and a 5 lb penalty shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid. Hastily and Second Collection both reacted well to the application of headgear last time and head the opposition.

Buraback is drawn wide and carries a penalty, so preference is for SECOND COLLECTION who is likely to be played late.

Cut To The Chase won well over 6f at Chelmsford a week ago but a 6lb rise demands more from him here. As a result, preference is for Q TWENTY BOY, who was only beaten a head into second on his most recent outing and remains on a workable mark. Kapparis Kid is another recent winner to consider, while Rogue Thunder completes the shortlist.

CUT TO THE CHASE cranked it up another notch when an easy winner at Chelmsford last week and, kept to this sort of grade, he can outclass these. 6f looks Starsong's trip so she is offered as the chief threat, ahead of Rogue Thunder.

Topweight CUT TO THE CHASE (nap) is a 4yo on the up and won in good style at Chelmsford last Saturday. He is also effective on Tapeta.

RED WALLS scored over C&D a week ago and tops the shortlist for this open event off just a 2lb higher rating. Autumn Angel and Back Tomorrow also arrive here on the back of wins over this track and trip, but those victories came in classified company and they return to handicaps off stiff enough marks. Others to consider are Fast Flo and Chiedozie.

RED WALLS was value for a bit extra over the result having raced up with a strong pace throughout when recording a sixth course success last week, so is the percentage call to follow up. Fellow last-time-out scorers Autumn Angel and Back Tomorrow rate the principal threats.

Autumn Angel and Back Tomorrow have live chances but BANKRUPT could be interesting if perked up by headgear.

It is very hard to oppose JUJUBELLA, who was an 11-length winner on her first start over 1m4f at Newcastle on Tuesday. The four-year-old does not have to carry a penalty for that success here and will taking plenty of stopping if in the same form. The Irish raider Esticky End has to be of interest following his Dundalk win a month ago, while Harlington is also noted.

JUJUBELLA is improving in leaps and bounds and will take some stopping in her hat-trick bid given she escapes a penalty for her wide-margin success at Newcastle earlier in the week. Harlington and Disclosure can battle it out for minor honours.

Jujubella has a great chance provided her Newcastle form is transferred to this venue. DISCLOSURE is an interesting alternative.
