Royal Design steps up in trip for her handicap debut following a distant eighth over 7f at Southwell in February, when trained by William Haggas. Her dam is a half-sister to Group 1-placed Catch A Glimpse, so she must warrant a market check, but EASTERN CHARM kept on well to score over C&D on her return to action in April and gets the vote off 3lb higher. Climate Precedent switches back to handicapping following a fair fourth at Salisbury over 1m2f last month and completes the shortlist.

EASTERN CHARM upped her game to score comfortably over C&D last time and, with more to come, she's likely to go in again. Panning For Gold also has some potential and Climate Precedent is likely to give his running again.

Weakness of the opposition suggests that EASTERN CHARM is the one to turn to, ahead of Climate Precedent.

NOVATION has been consistent on both career starts and George Boughey's inmate can take another step forward dropping in class here from his latest run at Salisbury. He is a half-brother to recent Dash winner Navello and is taken to get the better of White Christmas, who has been eased in distance having not appeared to get home at Newmarket last month. Seven Questions finished a creditable fourth having lost a shoe at Redcar on his racecourse debut and can also improve.

SEVEN QUESTIONS wasn't ideally placed when a promising fourth at Redcar on debut and, with the potential for much better, he gets the nod ahead of Novation, who has shown fair form on both starts to date. Heritage House looks the pick of the newcomers.

Having had only one race and shaped well, SEVEN QUESTIONS is preferred to the other two major form contenders and the newcomers.

SIR OLIVER looks worth another crack following a disappointing run in stiffer company at Newbury last month. The gelded son of Dark Angel has now dropped to 3lb above his last winning mark and he gets the vote to bounce back. Society Lion was narrowly denied at Newmarket last month and appears to be the selection's biggest danger off 3lb higher, while Shades Of Summer also warrants a market check back on turf.

MELLYS FLYER wasn't seen to best effect in the mud when down the field at Chester last time and is worth siding with to bounce back in style off a still handy-looking mark. In-form course winner Society Lion could emerge as the chief threat, although Priscilla's Wish is always to be feared here and enters calculations along with Shades Of Summer and Sir Oliver.

Society Lion is the only one who ran with credit last time. PRISCILLA'S WISH edges the vote with her record at this track

It's hard know what Nikovo achieved during his time in France with Andre Fabre, but he has joined another top team at Archie Waton's yard and any support in the betting could be significant as the gelding makes his stable/UK debut. However, preference is for MILLION THANKS, who is more proven under these conditions and has a lot going for him here. First Officer and recent Carlisle maiden winner Trueman are also considered.

TRUEMAN has started life very well with David O'Meara and is fancied to follow up his ready Carlisle success now going into handicaps for the first time. Million Thanks can't be dismissed off an easing mark while Discretion and Zainalarab are both in the mix if building on recent efforts after an absence.

Further improvement looks to be on its way from TRUEMAN (nap) and that should secure him a win on his handicap debut.

BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS runs for a yard that has a remarkable strike-rate with its handicap debutants that are stepping up in trip and the son of Protectionist, who is a half-brother to 1m/1m2f winner Bucephalus, is the most intriguing option on paper. The odds are likely to be prohibitive but he is simply too hard to ignore. Baileys Khelstar is also respected as he debuts in a race of this nature, while Corsican Caper and Ramz head the supporting cast.

A case can be made for a few of these but Sir Mark Prescott's handicap debutant BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS starts off on a very workable mark and is fancied to take a sizeable step forward now his stamina is drawn out much more. Denis Anthony holds obvious claims off the same mark as when a good recent Lingfield second with both Baileys Khelstar and Corsican Caper two more who can have a say.

The pick on recent handicap form is DENIS ANTHONY but the Prescott-trained handicap newcomer Blindedbythelights has to be feared.

Come On John racked up a quick-fire double last month and he warrants plenty of respect under a 5lb penalty for his success at Brighton, but a chance can be taken on HABANERO STAR, who was denied by five lengths over an extended 1m3f at this track last month. She goes off the same mark and could prove tough to pass off the front. Alpha King is also of interest, with Luke Morris booked.

COME ON JOHN ran out a convincing winner of a 7-runner handicap at Brighton 9 days ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he looks capable of following up at the likely expense of Queen's Company, who should be suited by the step up in distance. Tables Turned is still relatively unexposed and could post a bigger effort on turf debut.

A good record at this course puts Habanero Star second on the list to hat-trick seeker COME ON JOHN.

Lordsbridge Girl has been in fine form on the all-weather since the turn of the year and she is likely to have a say if transferring that form to turf. However, EPIC EXPRESS just shades the vote for the Chris Dwyer yard after he just got up on the line to score by a neck at Newmarket last time. Matty Too completes the shortlist on his first start for the Ed Dunlop stable.

LORDSBRIDGE GIRL's profile is generally progressive and, if there's enough emphasis on stamina over this trip, she could resume winning ways back from a break. Last-time-out Newmarket winner Epic Express looks the main threat, although Ideal Guest could be hard to peg back if he gets his own way in front.

This race looks tight but LORDSBRIDGE GIRL had a basically progressive record once going handicapping in November.
