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

The Nail Gunner was only beaten a short head over this trip at Lingfield last time and he was only raised 1lb for that effort, which gives him every chance of being thereabouts once more. However, preference is for ALMODOVAR DEL RIO, who returns from a break after running with great credit over C&D. In addition, the four-year-old is less exposed than most of these and is only 2lb higher than his last winning mark. Suzi's Connoisseur completes the shortlist.

THE NAIL GUNNER quickly returned to form when runner-up over this trip at Lingfield 33 days ago and gets the nod to build on that and come out on top with all 3 of his previous victories having come at this venue. Sweet Mist, Almodovar Del Rio and Suzi's Connoisseur head up the dangers.

A few with chances but SWEET MIST got back on track with her recent second here and returning to 7f is a bonus.

TOTNES makes her handicap debut after getting off the mark last time over C&D and her opening mark could prove to be a lenient one based on the ease of that win. The main danger looks to be Seagrave Fox, who was put up 2lb for his latest effort when caught close home. Rossmore Nation has won two of his five starts for the Michael Appleby stable and is also respected.

TOTNES showed much-improved form after 5 months off when comfortably landing a C&D novice event 25 days ago and with the prospect of more to come now handicapping, she gets the nod to follow up. Seagrave Fox and Rossmore Nation similarly arrive in good order and are feared, whilst Pearl Eye is another worth a look on his return.

This will take a bit of winning but HARLEM NIGHTS (nap) did well to finish third in his final nursery start and he's now gelded.

Fariba is an interesting contender as she steps into much calmer waters than when contesting a Listed race last time and makes her handicap debut taking a step up in trip. However, the vote goes to the George Boughey-trained RAZONI, who hit the line well over 1m at Southwell on his latest start and is only 1lb higher for that display. Moreover, the first-time tongue-tie could aid his chances stepping up in distance, while The Renegade is another to note.

Off the mark at third attempt in novice company at Newcastle (7f) in February, RAZONI matched that level when runner-up on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) 4 weeks ago and he shades the vote to come out on top now his stamina is tested further. The Renegade and Blue Universe head up the dangers in an interesting race.

Razoni has the benefit of some recent action and won't be far away, but BLUE UNIVERSE is interesting now raised in trip.

Runner-up over this trip at Southwell on his most recent outing in January, RAY VONN can shed his maiden tag at the sixth time of asking on his debut for Ben Brookhouse. Star Sound has shown enough on both of her career starts to suggest that she can play a hand here, while newcomer Pearly Star is another to bear in mind.

STAR SOUND shaped well both starts at Newcastle during the autumn and with improvement expected as a 3-y-o, she's selected to make a winning reappearance. We haven't seen the best of Wall Game either and he's a threat, while debutantes Pearly Star and Desert Swirl represent successful yards and a market move for either would have to be taken seriously.

The two newcomers need checking in the betting but as things stand preference is for NATIVE BEACH, who made a promising return.

This could go the way of EM JAY KAY, who finished a fair third over 6f at Chelmsford on his latest outing. He retains the mark from that run, which makes the gelded son of Brazen Beau of additional interest, although it would be foolish to dismiss Glorious Charmer having proven exceptionally consistent of late. Josies Kid sports a first-time visor and is another of interest.

EM JAY KAY has been in excellent form of late and, if the pace is sound, he's likely to resume winning ways in a thin race. Glorious Charmer is an obvious danger and Josies Kid can't be ruled out.

A tight handicap. EM JAY KAY is a course winner who held his own in a higher grade four days ago and he's tactically versatile.

LEXINGTON KNIGHT was far-from disgraced when headed in the final strides over C&D last month and he looks more than capable of picking up a race of this nature off only 1lb higher. Johnny Boom has failed to justify favouritism on his last three appearances, nevertheless, he arrives on a workable mark and merits consideration now returned to 1m4f. Bearaway's mark has dropped to 1lb below his Windsor triumph in October and he's another to note.

JOHNNY BOOM can boast a good Wolverhampton record and back up in trip, his relative turn of foot at this level could be decisive. Cedar Cage isn't straightforward but he got the job done last week and he can be a factor again, with Lexington Knight likely to give his running again.

Tactics will play their part but granted a good pace to run at then CEDAR CAGE might well repeat last week's course win.

ENGLISH SPIRIT relished the step up in trip when winning over C&D a few weeks ago and, with a 3lb rise looking more than fair, he's taken to foil Snooze Lane in his quest to land a hat-trick. Sarah Hollinshead's charge has also thrived at this track and is unlikely to go down without a fight. Seven Pockets would make more appeal over further but he cannot be dismissed off his current mark.

ENGLISH SPIRIT is two from two at Wolverhampton and unexposed over this distance, so he's worth backing in what looks a tightly-knit affair. Seven Pockets is a danger and Snooze Lane is likely to give another good account of himself.

The hat-trick looks in sight for SNOOZE LANE who was good value for his narrow winning margin here last time.
