A chance can be taken on newcomer GRACIOUS LEADER, who was a 250,000gns purchase at Tattersalls Book 1. His dam was a Group 3 winner over this trip as a juvenile, so he makes a considerable amount of appeal. Any market confidence behind the son of Too Darn Hot, Lucentio, would also be of interest, while Telemark should take a step forward from his third at Leicester.

Roger Varian won this with a debutant in the Sheikh Mohammed Obaid silks last year so GRACIOUS LEADER is the suggestion, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Shy Hi Bye, Dubawi Time and Granger Bay are other newcomers who make plenty of paper appeal in a race where the market is likely to be informative. Telemark may prove best of those with experience.

Roger Varian's GRACIOUS LEADER is one of a clutch of interesting newcomers on show and gets the vote over Dubawi Time.

MOSWAAT showed plenty of promise on debut when third at Kempton at big odds and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. With normal progression, the son of Kodiac could be the one to beat. Pen Portrait struck by just under a length at Wolverhampton last month and he should put in a bold display, even though he has a 7lb penalty to carry. Of the remainder, 340,000gns purchase Barone makes the most appeal.

BARONE was picked up for a hefty sum at the Breeze-Ups and represents top connections, so he's worth chancing to make a winning start. Moswaat is an obvious danger on the back of a promising start and Mukaafah is another interesting newcomer.

A few with chances but Roger Varian's MOSWAAT shaped very well on his Kempton debut and he looks the way to go here.

Trackman hit the frame on his handicap bow at Chelmsford when failing to justify favouritism, but he could take another step forward to have a say in proceedings. However, preference is for SOMEONE'S WISH, who is a perfect 2-2 in the handicap ranks and he goes off a 4lb higher mark than for the latest of those victories at Lingfield. The son of Buratino isn't one to taken on while in this sort of form. Stintino Sunset completes the shortlist after her victory at Leicester.

SOMEONE'S WISH looked to have a bit to spare on AW at Lingfield last time and might be able to defy the handicapper again if as effective back on turf. Trackman shaped well on his recent Chelmsford handicap debut and is second choice. Tom Clover's Rogue Princess is bred to be better than an opening mark in the 50s and is one to keep a close eye on in the betting

Robert Eddery's SOMEONE'S WISH hasn't looked back since sent handicapping so is taken to defy a 4lb rise and complete a quick hat-trick

COCO ROYALE was no match for a progressive rival at Kempton last time, but compensation could await the unexposed daughter of Frankel, who looks set to appreciate this return to turf. Dashing Panther continues to run well in defeat and is unlikely to be far away, along with the class-dropping Bunker Bay, whose sole success came over C&D in the hands of Brandon Wilkie.

DASHING PANTHER has been in top form for a while and would have won at Pontefract last time had he not hung badly right in the closing stages. Provided he can keep straight this time, he should be able to make amends, although the likes of Haarar and Coco Royale should ensure that it's not all plain sailing.

The choice is the unexposed COCO ROYALE, who showed improved form on her handicap debut and may have more to come.

A difficult contest to unpick, in which marginal preference is for LINCOLN ROYAL. Marco Botti's filly showed ability in each of her qualifying runs, which came over 6f, but pedigree would suggest she'll be suited by a step up in trip and forecast soft ground is unlikely to be a problem. My Clementine, Serendipitous Lady and Upper Hand are others to consider.

SERENDIPITOUS LADY found improvement when third at Chelmsford on nursery debut and a performance of similar merit should be enough for her to open her account. That said, nursery debutantes My Clementine and Lincoln Royal both have the scope to take a step forward.

A chance is taken on handicap debutante NOTRE DAME who showed a degree of promise in a better race than this at Newmarket last time.

LEGENDE D'ART ran with a fair amount of credit on his return to action when fourth at Chelmsford last month. The six-year-old, whose most recent success came at this track off 1lb higher in May 2022, could take advantage in a contest where the majority of his rivals have something to prove. Okeanos was in consistent form earlier on in the year and can enter the reckoning, while a change of headgear from cheekpieces to blinkers may sharpen up The Spotlight Kid.

LEGENDE D'ART is handicapped to win and shaped as if better for the run back from a long absence at Chelmsford recently. A chance is taken on him to gain another C&D success but The Spotlight Kid and Okeanos are both respected.

This looks a good opportunity for ASTRAL SPIRIT to get off the mark on the back of a good Leicester third.

Blinkers have clearly made a difference for DREAM PIRATE as he arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories and a 6lb rise for the latest at Bath might not be enough to stop him from progressing further. Eagle Day has been running with credit on his last couple of starts and the son of Kodiac is expected to to go close once again, while Forward Flight and Handel appeal most of the remainder.

DREAM PIRATE doubled his tally with plenty in hand at Bath last time and, with more progress on the cards, he's fancied to land the hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out winners Goose Rock and Eagle Day are both dangers.

C&D scorer DREAM PIRATE (nap) hasn't looked back since blinkers went on and handles soft ground very well too so can land the hat-trick
