Recent C&D winner SHOW COMPASSION has an excellent opportunity to follow up with top apprentice Billy Loughnane on board. She was running consistently prior to that victory and is taken to overcome a 2lb rise in her handicap mark. The biggest danger may be Coast, who has produced several of her best efforts over C&D and that includes two of her three career victories. Henery Hawk is looking to complete a hat-trick but the step up from 5f is a concern.

HENERY HAWK has clicked of late, bagging 5f handicaps at Newcastle and here last month, and he looks capable of completing the hat-trick with this step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue. Show Compassion remains feasibly treated up 2 lb for her latest success over C&D and she is feared most ahead of Coast.

Linda Perratt's horses are thriving at present and HENERY HAWK (nap) can make light of a small weights rise and complete his hat-trick.

It took GUITEAU 13 attempts to get off the mark but he may be able to immediately follow up his C&D victory. A favourable draw in stall three gives him every opportunity to attempt to make all for a second success and a 4lb rise doesn't look too harsh. Connected has also scored over C&D but his attempt to follow up last month was slightly disappointing and he may struggle from his draw in stall 12. Once Adaay has proved he acts on this course and showed promise when third off 1lb higher on his first attempt over 7f at Kempton 16 days ago.

CONNECTED wasn't seen to best effect having been rousted to get the lead from his wide draw over C&D last month, so he's well worth another chance to get back on the up. Guiteau dictated under a well-judged ride on his most recent outing, but a 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run, with Storymaker completing the shortlist.

The form of ONCE ADAAY's Kempton third has been boosted since and he could have more to come at this trip now tried in a visor.

Following her debut success at Kempton, it is hard to ignore the claims of TIMELESS CHARM, who always travelled comfortably and strode away for an extremely impressive six-length success. George Boughey's filly can improve for that experience and looks up to defying a winner's penalty this evening. Bigtime Bridget showed promise when fourth to Shemozzle at Newmarket and could be a danger as she steps up in trip on her first attempt on an all-weather surface. The market may be the best guide as to what is expected of the newcomers, but the Andrew Balding-trained Lady Birdie cost 30,000gns and could be the pick of them.

TIMELESS CHARM drew clear in taking fashion on her recent Kempton debut and looks up to defying a penalty on that evidence. Ehtiram can have her debut effort overlooked and is clearly thought capable of much better, while Lady Birdie and Qamari are a pair of interesting newcomers who require close market attention.

The form choice is promising TIMELESS CHARM, who won in great style at Kempton. Ehtiram is feared most.

In what looks a very competitive nursery, a tentative vote is given to CLAXTON BAY, who ran well at 80/1 in a Lingfield novice stakes over a mile in October and was possibly unsuited by the drop back to 6f on his latest run at Chelmsford. An opening mark of 70 looks workable, while Squeaker was only narrowly denied by Tiptoe over C&D last time and can have her say again off 2lb higher. Roman Secret's Nottingham second last month would also give her a chance in this wide-open contest.

ROCKET WARRIOR had something to spare when opening his account at Bath a couple of months ago and, while the handicapper has taken no chances with his opening mark, he's worth a chance to follow up with his stable in red-hot form. Roman Secret is an obvious danger and Claxton Bay merits respect with the step up in trip in his favour.

Top of the list is DUNSTAN, who should be more at home under these conditions than when returned to 7f on slow ground last month.

ERMIN STREET is taken to gain revenge on recent C&D winner Come On John. Making his reappearance after wind surgery, Mark Loughnane's charge was well off the pace in the early stages before running on well to be beaten three and three-quarter lengths by Come On John. The selection is 5lb better off with that reopposing winner this evening and, expected to come on for that run, he is taken to reverse that form. The hat-trick seeking Star Of St Louis was only a narrow winner last time and a further 2lb rise may see his winning run come to an end.

COME ON JOHN overcame a pace bias and trouble in running to score over C&D 11 days ago and he remains well treated on old form, so he's taken to get the better of Star of St Louis, who is on the up for his current stable. Meadram is another one to consider.

The vote goes to the dual C&D winner MEADRAM who suggested he was on the way back when narrowly beaten at Chelmsford last month.

My Roxanne struck by just under two lengths over a mile at Newcastle last week and she should mount another bold bid, even though she has a 6lb penalty to carry. However, the vote goes to SUN FESTIVAL, who hasn't finished out of the top two in his last three outings, including when second over C&D earlier in the month, and he could prove hard to beat off the same rating. Graffiti completes the shortlist on his return to the Flat.

SWING TO THE STARS is still unexposed and has shaped better than the result on her last couple of starts, so she takes marginal preference over Sun Festival, who arrives in top form. Recent winner My Roxanne is another big player.

The choice is the consistent and reliable SUN FESTIVAL who found only one too good over C&D last time and races off the same mark here.

POWER OF DARKNESS attempted to make all but weakened inside the last furlong to finish third in this grade at Newcastle on his latest outing and he goes off the same mark this evening. The Charlie Fellowes-trained eight-year-old could continue his fine form to take this, although Flatley was victorious by just over a length over C&D last time and he is likely to get into contention off a 5lb higher mark. Phantasy Mac takes a step back in distance and could also have a say.

SUPREME KING was no match for the unexposed Run Zarak Run on debut for this yard in a Redcar novice last month, but he in turn pulled clear of the rest and is entitled to come on for that run, given that he was returning from a six-month absence. He resumes in handicap company on a potentially handy mark and gets the nod ahead of cosy recent C&D winner Flatley. Phantasy Mac and Supaspecialawesome are others to consider, while Power of Darkness should also have a part to play.

The vote goes to dual C&D winner PHANTASY MAC who is now 6lb lower than when last successful.

KITTY FOYLE only found one too strong when making her handicap bow over 1m4f at Lingfield last time, but she has scope for further improvement and could defy a 2lb rise in the handicap now upped in trip. Artisan Dancer continues to run well and must firmly enter calculations, while Rock Chant is able to compete off his last winning mark and should not be written off now dropped in class.

ARTISAN DANCER is enjoying an excellent season and is fancied to bag win number four on the back of his recent C&D second when not enjoying the rub of the green. Two Past Eight is weighted to go well back in this sphere so could emerge as the main threat ahead of the unexposed Kitty Foyle.

Granted a well-run race, the most powerful finisher may well be ARTISAN DANCER. Second choice is Kitty Foyle.

SPEED DIAL BAILEYS broke well to make all over C&D last month and, drawn in stall one tonight, James Tate's filly could employ similar tactics to defy a 4lb rise in the ratings. Just Janet only found one too good off this mark over 7f at Lingfield last time and she could find more for the application of a first-time visor, while Starsong is the most appealing of the remainder.

A few with chances but SPEED DIAL BAILEYS looks the way to go on the back of her career-best C&D success last month. Star of Lady M is on a long losing run but weighted to have a say so comes next on the list ahead of in-form pair Just Janet and Starsong.

After an encouraging return to action at Chelmsford this may go the way of STARSONG. My Delilah may prove best of the rest.
