This could go the way of JENNY REN, who took a big step forward when securing a win over 1m4f at this track last month. A 2lb raised mark for that success looks unlikely to stop her having a say in proceedings here, although the reopposing Inchbae can give her plenty to think about now 1lb better off with the selection. Master Grey is another to bear in mind.

JENNY REN did well to reel in Inchbae close home over 12.2f here last month, despite not getting the run of things, and she is taken to strike again back up in trip off just a 2 lb higher mark. Inchbae could again have a part to play but a bigger threat may be posed by Ghostly, who was well held in the Southwell handicap won by Master Grey in February but is better than that. Owens Lad also merits consideration.

Preference is for INCHBAE who still doesn't have many miles on the clock (0-8) and is bred to relish this longer trip.

Torre Del Oro makes his handicap debut following a fair fourth in maiden company at Kempton in December, but he could struggle off top-weight and BERWICK LAW gets the vote. A winner over 1m2f at Lingfield in February, a 5lb rise may not be enough to hold the daughter of Zoffany back here, while Ramz completes the shortlist in first-time blinkers.

TORRE DEL ORO progressed with each run in 2022 and appeals as the type to go on again as a 3-y-o, especially now upped further in distance, so he's taken to make a successful start in handicaps. Berwick Law quickened up best to score decisively at Lingfield in February and will be a big threat if taking another step forward over this longer trip.

Berwick Law may improve for the new trip but TORRE DEL ORO caught the eye when last seen and can make a winning handicap debut.

In a contest lacking depth, preference lies with MARGARET BEAUFORT, who scored by half a length over C&D last month. She is now 4lb higher for that success, but the reopposing Think Champagne was sent off favourite for the aforementioned contest and he should not be dismissed. Secret Contact also warrants a market check following some encouraging efforts last month.

MARGARET BEAUFORT has much improved switched to handicaps and upped in trip both starts this term, scoring over C&D last time despite racing freely, so can defy a 4 lb rise. Think Champagne pulled too hard when sent off favourite behind the selection that day so is worth another chance.

This can go to SECRET CONTACT (nap) who has been shaping as though this stiffer test will suit her even better and drops in grade.

ELIGIBLE has been running with credit in better company recently and, from just 1lb above his last winning mark, the son of Dark Angel could get back to winning ways down in grade. Asadjumeirah bounced back to form when finishing a good second here last month and he can feature if seeing out the extra furlong, while Big Narstie should not be underestimated either.

OKEANOS arrives on the back of an excellent second at Chelmsford City and is fancied to go one better now nudged up only 1 lb and with few miles still on the clock. Recent course runner-up Asadjumeirah is next on the list ahead of Eligible, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh at Southwell last time.

There is no obvious pace here and it looks a race to tread carefully with. The class-dropping ELIGIBLE gets the tentative vote.

CANADIANSMOKESHOW produced some good efforts in defeat last season, most notably when finishing five lengths behind the subsequent Fillies' Mile winner Commissioning at Newmarket in July. She sets the standard with an official rating of 76 and the daughter of U S Navy Flag could open her account if able to rediscover that spark here. Centrefold and Storymaker can battle it out for second.

CANADIANSMOKESHOW brings much the best form to the table so Sean Woods's U S Navy Flag filly is taken to get off the mark at the chief expense of Storymaker, who made a promising start when third at Chelmsford City and has better days ahead of her. Fahari and Deep In My Heart appeal as the pick of the remainder and can fight it out for minor honours.

The standard is just about set by CANADIANSMOKESHOW and she can continue her trainer's good run of form.

Placed on three of his last four starts, MUSTAFFIZ deserves a change in luck and this looks like a good opportunity to gain a first win since joining these connections. Narrowly denied over course and distance in December, Alfred Cove is likely to be thereabouts once again, along with Rebel Redemption, who should be suited by the drop back in trip.

MUSTAFFIZ found only a resurgent winner too good at Kempton last week and looks the way to go. Apache Star, Rebel Redemption and Starjik are feared.

A strong pace looks assured and this could be the day that things finally fall into place for FRISTEL.

An eight-time winner at this venue, HOOFLEPUFF bounced back to form with a runner-up effort over C&D last month and the seven-year-old remains just 1lb above his last winning mark. City Escape is another who goes well here and has been knocking on the door of late, whereas Connie R arrives with similar claims but is still a maiden after 22 starts.

CITY ESCAPE did well under the circumstances when a close third here last month, left with a bit too much to do, so earns the vote off the same mark. Hooflepuff's ninth win at this track doesn't look too far away judged on his running-on second over C&D 12 days ago and is the obvious threat, with Inexplicable best of the others.

Eight-time course winner HOOFLEPUFF suggested his turn is nearing again when runner-up over C&D 12 days ago. He can go one better.
