Having been beaten just under a length over C&D last time, SHERDIL looks primed to offer another bold bid. Churchill Bay is feared most after a neck second last time, but a 2lb rise could be difficult to defy. Better can be expected from Bernie The Bear, who was well backed last time when disappointing over track and trip, and he could reverse that form with the reopposing Tommytwohoots.

VOLTAIC needs things to drop right but Sarah Bowen usually gets a good tune out of him and he's dropped back to his last winning mark. Churchill Bay made a positive start for new trainer Jessica Macey when narrowly denied here last month and can fill the forecast spot ahead of Coast and the Simon Walker-ridden Sherdil.

He's patently not the force of old but SHERDIL ran well in defeat over C&D two weeks ago and ought to be able to cope with a 2lb rise.

HAND JIVE was only beaten half a length over 7f at Newcastle last time and this looks a good opportunity for the son of Blue Point. Charlie Johnston's colt shaped as if this drop in trip would suit and he's fancied to make his presence felt off the same mark. Last-time-out winner Amroon is the biggest danger to the selection, although he may find it tough to defy a 4lb rise in the ratings for that half-length success, while Bitcoin Profit heads the remainder.

UPPER HAND had excuses at Newcastle last time and might be able to come good back at 6f. Hand Jive was ahead of the selection at Newcastle and is another who may benefit from the drop back to 6f so he's second choice. Chaumet More, who has a smart pedigree, and George Boughey's Better are potential improvers in handicap company and need monitoring closely in the betting.

The suggestion is HAND JIVE, who drops back in trip after a close fourth over 7f at Newcastle last month.

Let's Go Hugo has been in good form of late and looks likely to be on the scene once more, but could be vulnerable having been raised a further 1lb in the ratings for his second over C&D last time. Therefore, the nod goes to RESILIENCE, who was three lengths behind the aforementioned Ollie Pears runner on his latest outing and is fancied to turn the tables on that rival off 7lb better terms. Agostino should also be in the shake-up.

SPEED DIAL BAILEYS was better than the result over 6f here last time and can resume winning ways back at 5f. Agostino has had a consistent spell on AW lately and can provide the chief threat ahead of Let's Go Hugo.

It was tight between Let's Go Hugo and DICKO THE LEGEND in the autumn and the latter still has some improvement in him back at 5f.

TIARAQUEEN made a promising start to her career when runner-up at Kempton at the beginning of last month and the daughter of Kingman, whose dam is a full-sister to a Group 1-placed filly, is likely to build on that performance. Galloping On finished well when runner-up over C&D on his second outing and is expected to be in the mix. Roobeena, who is closely related to Group/Grade 1 performers, and Superb Force appeal most of the remainder.

It's likely that there are several future winners on show in this maiden. Newcomer SUPERB FORCE is very appealing on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Tiaraqueen chased home the selection's odds-on stablemate Topanga at Kempton and looks a big threat with that run under her belt. Galloping On is third choice, while Super Saiyan, who shaped well on debut at Chelmsford, and Roger Varian's debutantes Miss Oxford and Roobeena are others to consider.

A few of these offer potential. Clive Cox's GALLOPING ON has the inside draw and can build on a promising C&D second.

CHANTICO was purchased for 16,000gns in October following a disappointing effort at Newbury in April and the four-year-old, who has clearly needed time to develop, may be a shrewd purchase for his new connections. Talis Evolvere has to enter the reckoning having been second here last time, while Woodstock City and Urban Sprawl are both capable of being in the mix.

CHANTICO finished out with the washing in a Newbury handicap when last seen during the spring, but the testing conditions may have contributed to that low-key performance and this lightly-raced 4-y-o is of strong interest back down in trip on debut for new connections. Next on the list is Talis Evolvere, who shaped as though this stiffer test would be in his favour when runner-up over 7.2f here 13 days ago. Queen of Ipanema and Urban Sprawl are others with claims in a competitive race.

Richard Fahey's C&D scorer GINCIDENT (nap) shaped well after a layoff when a running-on fifth here and he can bag a fourth win of 2023.

WHATWOULDYOUKNOW returned to winning ways on his latest start at Newcastle and the eight-year-old could prove a tough nut to crack in a contest that lacks much depth on paper. Harbour Vision is capable of being in the mix based on his recent efforts at this track, while Kingwell and Waleyfa are others that could have an impact on proceedings.

The vote goes to IBIZA ROCKS, who has slipped to a potentially handy mark and wasn't seen to best effect under an inexperienced rider over this C&D 17 days ago. Waleyfa should get a decent pace to aim at here and, if so, she will be a threat, along with recent Newcastle winner Whatwouldyouknow. Kingwell is also worth a second look.

C&D scorer WALEYFA didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Lingfield last time and is taken to bag a fourth win for Alice Haynes

MIN TILL was a close second over 7f here when last seen in October and the daughter of Al Kazeem could be hard to stop off the same mark if seeing out this extra distance. Laura's Breeze is another to strongly consider stepping up in trip, while Rose Light edges out Snooze Lane to be the pick of the remainder.

GET SET JET remains a maiden following eight starts on the other side of the Irish Sea for Ross O'Sullivan, but he showed a fair level of ability in the process and makes his debut for new connections on an attractive mark. He gets the nod ahead of Min Till, who went close over 7.2f here last time and will be a big threat if seeing this trip out. Laura's Breeze and Rose Light are also shortlisted, while Snooze Lane could also have a part to play.

A few hold chances but course winner MIN TILL was back to form when runner-up here last time out and can capitalise on a handy mark.

Trusty Scout won well over this trip at Kempton a couple of weeks ago and sets the standard off just 3lb higher here. That said, a chance can be taken on the unexposed LOUISIANA BAY, who put in a career best when third at Chelmsford last time and she may improve for a further step up in distance. Others to note are Temur Khan and Moon Over The Sea.

Having shaped with promise back from a five-month break over 8.6f here 3 weeks ago, URBAN CHAMPION could be worth chancing. That was just his seventh career start and there's a good chance that he'll improve for this step up in trip. Trusty Scout is an obvious contender on the strength of his recent Kempton success and is second choice. Louisiana Bay shouldn't be far away if coping well with this stiffer test and Moon Over The Sea also merits respect.

Tony Carroll's C&D scorer MOON OVER THE SEA looks primed to go very well after an encouraging third here last time and he gets the vote.
