MOON OVER THE SEA wasn't done any favours when carried wide at Wolverhampton last time out, but he did well to finish second, and with normal improvement expected he may be able to regain the winning thread for his in-form connections. That may be at the main expense of Back From Dubai, who goes up to this distance for the first time, having scored over shorter at Wolverhampton last month. Come On John and Fiftyshadesaresdev are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

MOON OVER THE SEA quickly returned to form when finding only a thriving rival too strong at Wolverhampton 16 days ago and a repeat gives him sound claims of going one place better here. Come On John and last-time-out scorer Back From Dubai head up the dangers in the opener.

Moon Over The Sea is in very good heart but COME ON JOHN has less to prove on course form and is preferred.
Class & Speed Card

HARRY THE HAGGLER has done well since joining new connections and he must hold every chance if building upon a strong runner-up effort at Wolverhampton last time out. The five-year-old can get back to winning ways, with recent C&D scorer Smokey Malone looking best placed to follow him home, as well as Alioski, who has run over hurdles and had wind surgery since scoring easily at Ffos Las last August.

SMOKEY MALONE's latest C&D victory came in a classified event but this hardly appeals as a strong handicap, so this 4-time course winner could be worth siding with to follow up, having been competitive from higher marks last winter. Harry The Haggler following his good Wolverhampton second and Send In The Clouds are others to consider. Market confidence behind handicap debutant Chantilly Moon would also need to be viewed positively.

This can go to SMOKEY MALONE who added a fourth course win in a classified here and should give it plenty back in a handicap.
Class & Speed Card

A tad unlucky when short of room and eventually finishing third over 6f at Wolverhampton last month, AGENT MAYFAIR is likely to be suited by dropping back in trip, and he can get off the mark at the 11th time of asking. Turned out again quickly after a highly creditable third at Newcastle on Saturday, Stallone is entitled to be thereabouts, along with the unexposed Maveric's Magic, who could be another to improve for going back to 5f.

AGENT MAYFAIR lines up on the back of a good third in similar company at Wolverhampton 18 days ago and a repeat should see Tony Carroll's 4-y-o firmly in the shake up here. Laura's Breeze has her first crack at this bare 5f trip but this is patently her easiest assignment for a while and she needs factoring in. Admirable Lad and Stallone are others worth a look.

Dropping back to 5f isn't necessarily a positive for AGENT MAYFAIR but he might get away with it against this level of opposition.
Class & Speed Card

Behind a winner at Ascot that has gone in again since, TOMMY THE TANK continues to progress and going up beyond 3m could bring about the improvement necessary to get off the mark at the third time of asking. Runner-up on his two previous starts before falling when going well at Doncaster in November, Wicked Thoughts can give the selection the most to think about. Camps Bay has claims if repeating the form of his debut effort at Leicester in November.

WICKED THOUGHTS remains capable of better and is taken to improve past Tommy The Tank in what may develop into a straight fight between the pair. Dwight K Schrute should be sharper with his Fakenham run behind him and may prove best of the remainder.

Others may have longer-term prospects but this race seems to have TOMMY THE TANK and Wicked Thoughts as its only serious contenders.
Class & Speed Card

First Ambition made a perfect start to his racing career when landing a maiden at Newcastle last month. Although Karl Burke's charge is open to improvement, a 7lb penalty does demand more, so fellow in-form rival GROOVY BABY edges the vote. The daughter of Kingman arrives on the back of a close-up fourth at Kempton and this switch to novice company could enable a breakthrough victory. The returning Surrey Shadow and lightly-raced Picturesque are also noted.

An interesting novice for this time of the year with the vote in favour of SURREY SHADOW. He showed lots of raw ability despite looking rough around the edges in a trio of starts as a 3-y-o and he looks up to playing a lead role in a race of this nature on that evidence. Debut scorer First Ambition and Picturesque may well emerge as the lead dangers.

Slight preference is for SURREY SHADOW despite the absence. First Ambition, Picturesque and Groovy Baby are serious rivals.
Class & Speed Card

REPOSADO represents connections who recorded a double here last Friday, and the son of Wootton Bassett may have found a good opportunity to open his account. The selection showed his best form over this trip in the UK and was far from disgraced when finishing in mid-division in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. Tropical Retreat made an encouraging debut here just before Christmas showing good pace throughout when a close fourth to Sharkii, and she could be suited by this drop back to the minimum trip. Ms Olivia and Shoney are two newcomers, both by Mehmas, to keep a close eye on for market moves.

TROPICAL RETREAT showed plenty to work on when fourth here before Christmas and the drop to 5f should suit at this stage. Reposado should be bang there but is proving expensive to follow, while market support for one of the newcomers would look significant.

It is feasible that a change of scene will do the trick for REPOSADO who showed promise early in his juvenile career in Britain.
Class & Speed Card

A promising second on her debut at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in December, connections look to have found an ideal opportunity for PLAY IT AGAIN to get off the mark on British soil. The daughter of Nathaniel may have too much for the more experienced Irisante, who also started her career in France and has been placed on each of her last two outings. A winner at Ayr on the Flat last October, Graecia looks the pick of the newcomers on her first outing for the Charlie Longsdon team.

This looks a good chance for PLAY IT AGAIN to build on her promising debut second in France before Christmas. Nini Star showed a decent level of ability on the Flat and may prove best of the rest having switched to David Pipe. Graecia was also good enough on the Flat to think she could make an impact in a race like this if her stamina holds.

Second to a subsequent Class 1 winner on her debut in France, PLAY IT AGAIN gets the nod here.
Class & Speed Card

This ought to be a penalty kick for WENDIGO, who finished a highly creditable second to The New Lion in the Challow at Newbury in December. Jamie Snowden's charge sets a lofty standard to aim at and it is difficult to see past him. That said, South Omo Zone made an impressive hurdling debut at Wincanton last month and should not be underestimated with improvement on the cards. Klapton Boy chased home dual hurdles winner Rubber Ball in a point-to-point in April before occupying the same position on his jumping bow. He appeals most of the remainder.

Jamie Snowden's WENDIGO is impossible to oppose on the back of his fine second to The New Lion in Newbury's Challow Hurdle last time out so gets a confident vote. South Omo Zone made a winning start for Olly Murphy at Wincanton and appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of the unexposed Strolling Along, who can build on his hurdling debut ninth at Taunton.

Grade 1 Challow Hurdle runner-up WENDIGO can add to his hurdle win at Ludlow in November. South Omo Zone is the danger.
Class & Speed Card

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from NORTHCLIFF's second-placed stable bow at Newcastle last month and compensation might be on the cards. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings for Michael Keady's charge could prove on the lenient side and he's taken to repel last-time-out winner Mumayaz. The six-year-old relished a return to 6f at Wolverhampton 23 days ago and he looks set to go close again. Walking On Clouds is the pick of the remainder.

A few with chances but course scorer NORTHCLIFF rates the pick of the weights so edges the vote from in-form duo Rambuso Creek and Mumayaz, who can chase home Michael Keady's 5-y-o in that order. Walking On Clouds completes the shortlist.

Now back racing around a bend, DICKO THE LEGEND is fancied to turn the tables on Northcliff.
Class & Speed Card

MYTHICAL ROCK has been placed on a number of occasions for various trainers and now makes his first start for Pat Murphy who has already trained a couple of winners here this year. He went close in a 1m1f Punchestown maiden last autumn and was again prominent throughout when third over C&D in December. Autumn Twist showed promise for Andre Fabre as a juvenile including when runner-up at Chantilly over 1m1f and now reverts to the Flat after being soundly beaten twice over hurdles, while Solomon Coop was placed twice on turf last spring for Natalia Lupini but disappointed last time when switched to this surface. Maharajjah and Winsome are others to consider.

MYTHICAL ROCK can finally get off the mark in a weak maiden. Autumn Twist is the obvious threat on his French form.

This looks like a good opportunity for the 76-rated MYTHICAL ROCK to step up a couple of places after two good efforts at the venue
Class & Speed Card

SIMPLE GETAWAY showed significant improvement from first to second start over fences when runner-up over 3m at Ludlow last week and sets the standard on this occasion off an unchanged mark. Venetia Williams' charge is preferred to the largely unexposed Scotch On Da Rocks, who could be of interesting going up in trip on his chasing bow, while Lock Out has dropped back to a mark just 1lb higher than his last success at Chepstow in October.

SIMPLE GETAWAY stepped forward from his chasing debut when runner-up at Ludlow last week, pulling clear of the rest, and has obvious claims off the same mark. Scotch On da Rocks has the profile to make a better chaser so may emerge as the main threat ahead of Lock Out.

This looks good for SIMPLE GETAWAY (nap), who is 4lb well-in for last week's close second at Ludlow and still has potential.
Class & Speed Card

A winner over C&D before finding one too strong when dropped in trip at Leicester in December, LATENIGHTRUMBLE still has few miles on the clock and looks set to resume his progress back over a more suitable distance. Rostello went agonisingly close at Catterick three weeks ago and is of definite interest from 1lb higher, while Montregard, who won a three-runner contest at Market Rasen before finishing third at Taunton in November, might be best placed to chase the pair home.

LATENIGHTRUMBLE outpointed a progressive sort when getting off the mark over C&D on his penultimate start, and then followed home another upwardly mobile type at Leicester where the lack of a strong end-to-end gallop counted against him. The 8-y-o should have more to offer in this sphere and earns the vote ahead of Montregard and Champagnesuperover.

The 6yo MONTREGARD (nap) was third in a very hot little race at Taunton last time and can regain the winning thread.
Class & Speed Card

Having completed a hat-trick with something to spare over 7f here 20 days ago, ASH WEDNESDAY still looks one to keep the right side of. Heather Main's strong-travelling gelding should have little issue with today's ease in distance and he's fancied to defy a 5lb rise. The biggest threat may emerge from recent Kempton runner-up Hierarchy, while first-time cheekpieces could eke some improvement out of Cliffcake.

CAFFU ZAFEEN didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Lingfield last time out so looks the way to go here off a 2 lb lower mark in his bid for a maiden success. Hierarchy is next on the list on the back of a good Kempton second when also not seen to ideal effect. Alreet Cha, Cliffcake and Ash Wednesday all need factoring in too.

A chance is taken that things pan out better for CAFFU ZAFEEN than they did in Class 4 company the last twice.
Class & Speed Card

SCOTT LANG is without a win since taking a 1m5f Navan handicap nearly three years ago but has given plenty of encouragement when runner-up here on his latest two Flat starts. The Paul Flynn-trained gelding had Mephisto over three lengths back in fourth when only headed close home by Elle Dorado Rock over 2m last month. Inchiquin Maid's form also ties in with Mephisto as she beat that rival by five lengths on her first start for Chris Timmons over C&D in December but has gone up 10lb in the ratings as a result. Curious Bride was soundly beaten in that race and has gained all four career wins on turf. Lispendense, a Ballinrobe bumper winner for Denis Cullen, has now joined Ian Donoghue.

SCOTT LANG's strike rate tempers enthusiasm but he ran another solid race returned to this venue when runner-up in a C&D handicap 26 days ago and he could be worth chancing to go one place better. Inchiquin Maid is an obvious threat following her clear-cut C&D victory in December. Mephisto should be thereabouts, too.

Runner-up in four of his five races at this venue SCOTT LANG may get a winning turn. He has an edge over Mephisto on recent form
Class & Speed Card

GREENWAYS stayed on well to take third in a similar event over 2m3f at Warwick and should find stepping back up in trip is an ideal move given he won over the extended 2m5f when last tried at this venue. Chestnut Pete has been knocking on the door of late and, having also posted some respectable course form, cannot be ruled out in this company. Kings Justice and Boys Of Wexford are other notable options.

BOYS OF WEXFORD looks the most solid option having backed up his win at Fontwell with a decent third over C&D. Chestnut Pete is potentially on a handy mark back from an absence for a new yard so needs keeping an eye on, while Kings Justice only just failed at Catterick 12 days ago.

Venetia Williams' mare JIKALA kept on from the rear for third over 2m3f here last month and is selected to exploit a good mark.
Class & Speed Card

Triumph entry LIVE CONTI made a winning debut at Auteuil in October and should Dan Skelton's charge have any hope of turning up there, he will need to be winning this impressively to fuel those aspirations. Scotland The Brave won on the Flat recently and is perhaps one of the more likely threats back jumping, although Lautrec De Cougny, who was prominent in the betting ahead of his hurdling debut at Bangor in November, should not be written off in a first-time tongue tie.

It will be disappointing should LIVE CONTI fail to deliver on his debut for the Dan Skelton yard. Indeed, the race he won in France during the autumn looked pretty strong and this will likely serve as a stepping-stone on the path to bigger and better things. Recent Flat scorer Scotland The Brave is preferred to Remarkable Flight for forecast purposes.

Dan Skelton's LIVE CONTI needs to be winning this easily if he's to take up his Triumph engagement. His French form looks good.
Class & Speed Card

Orangesandlemons sets the standard and should be capable of being on the premises at the very least. However, she is also starting to look exposed and there are solid grounds for taking her on, with ZABEEL RAIN rated the most obvious candidate. A respectable third on her debut at Kempton in December, the well-related daughter of Masar should be wiser and a step forward could suffice at his stage. Betting support for newcomers Maundy Thursday and Good Shot would also be noteworthy.

While it's true that ORANGESANDLEMONS doesn't look especially progressive, she has, to her credit, found just one to good on each of her four starts and the Mayson filly is now presented with a golden opportunity to deservedly get her head in front. If she is to be beaten again, it will likely be one of the newcomers who will emerge on top, with Good Shot and Maundy Thursday the most likely-looking candidates. Zabeel Rain showed enough on debut at Kempton to also warrant consideration.

Orangesandlemons deserves plenty of credit but is evidently beatable and ZABEEL RAIN could be up to the task.
Class & Speed Card

The C&D win of Hasiyna a fortnight ago looks a key piece of form with five of her rivals on that occasion reopposing here and perhaps fourth-placed I'M SPARTACUS can now come out on top. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding has gained all three career wins over this trip including here in September and has held his form well since. Hasiyna has won twice here this winter but now races off a 7lb higher mark, while Velvet Skies has been generally consistent and the booking of Billy Lee could prove significant. Nordic Passage caught the eye when finishing well over 5f here last time.

The vote goes to CLONMACASH, who remains on a good mark following his recent success in a 7f claimer here and should get away with this drop back in trip given the likelihood of a strong gallop. Though below par last time, Livingston Range is capable of a bold show and he is just about second choice ahead of I'm Spartacus and Velvet Skies.

A tentative vote goes the way of JAZZY DANCER, just run out of it behind Hasiyna last time and capable of going two better
Class & Speed Card

HELLFIRE PRINCESS did just what was required to edge a tight finish over the extended 2m3f here in January 2024. Despite a spell on the sidelies,she could be well placed to follow up off 8lb higher, especially with the longer trip not expected to be an issue. Ironed Out was also a game winner over Taunton's extended 2m last time out and should also figure if taking another step forward for this sterner test of stamina. Miss Pearl and Olivia Kate are others for the shortlist.

IRONED OUT has made a positive start to life in handicaps and Evan Williams' mare can defy a 5 lb rise to follow up from last month's Taunton success. Olivia Kate could do with brushing up her jumping but is in good form and remains on a competitive mark, with Miss Pearl also in the mix after being narrowly denied at Bangor last week.

Well-handicapped 8yo GATA BAN signalled a return to form on her latest outing and ought to benefit from today's drop back in trip.
Class & Speed Card

A respectable second when going from the front over this distance at Fontwell last time out, GETAWAY DRUMLEE sets the standard on form and he can strike for a third career success at a track that should suit. Kilta did well when coming from off the pace to finish third at Haydock in December and must enter calculations, along with Stringtoyourbow, who has scored on two of his last three starts.

Ben Pauling's GETAWAY DRUMLEE signalled his turn is near when runner-up at Fontwell last time and can go one better now off the same mark. The consistent Kilta is next on the list, with Theformismighty appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

This looks open. Lucy Wadham is enjoying a solid season and her HURRICANE BAY has the potential to be well handicapped.
Class & Speed Card

EASILY CONVINCED showed promise on debut at Kempton early last month and readily eclipsed that when he won going away at Chelmsford shortly after. Keeping the son of Kodi Bear busy is a logical move and he steps into handicap company with a live chance of taking advantage of potentially lenient opening mark of just 71. Fellow last-time-out winner McKenna is another appealing option having proven he can win races. Sabrimento and Bad Habits complete the shortlist.

Competitive stuff, with several appealing candidates on show. Top of the list is BLUE SEEKER, who wasn't seen to best effect when third to McKenna at Wolverhampton and, provided that things pan out more favourably this time, the son of Blue Point has a good chance of reversing those placings on 8 lb better terms. That being said, McKenna remains open to improvement and is greatly respected, along with the unexposed Easily Convinced and Risk, who appears to be gradually progressing.

Standput and MCKENNA (nap) won different divisions of a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and the latter can follow up.
Class & Speed Card

AFTER LOVE has shown promise on both outings over C&D and had Sottsands over three lengths behind in fourth, with Oiche Rua fifth, when making the frame behind Thunder Song last month. The form of that maiden looks solid enough as the runner-up, Ze Do Asfalto, went close here again last Friday. Beautiful Affair is an obvious threat. She didn't enjoy the clearest of passages on debut and again went off favourite here over a mile when runner-up to Powerful Lady last month. Timandi won a barrier trial at Leopardstown and shaped well on this surface when fourth to Honeysuckle Rose in December. Spicy Margarita and Wannabe Royal are others to note.

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here and his WANNABE ROYAL gets the vote on the back of a good C&D third, ahead of stablemate Beautiful Affair who also looks to have more to offer. Timandi can also have a say along with Spicy Margarita.

It might be worth giving a chance to TIMANDI, who put up an improved effort here last time and should have more to offer
Class & Speed Card

MAASAI MARA returned from a break to finish third over C&D behind smart performer Nemean Lion just before Christmas and the five-year-old may still be fairly treated in this discipline. Reallyntruthfully is expected to benefit from this more conventional track based on his latest effort at Windsor and remains with potential. Others for the shortlist include Melton Mossy and Oh My Johnny.

REALLYNTRUTHFULLY is building up a positive profile and, with this looking a slightly weaker handicap than the one he contested at Windsor last time, he's fancied to resume winning ways. Klic Boum again caught the eye at Chepstow just over a fortnight ago and seems sure to be winning before long, while it remains early days for Oh My Johnny, who'd impressed prior to disappointing on his handicap bow at Haydock.

Oh My Johnny is second choice. REALLYNTRUTHFULLY still had a narrow lead over the final flight on his handicap debut at Windsor.
Class & Speed Card

A progressive sort at the end of last season, IL VA DE SOI's recent effort when second at Sandown was highly encouraging. The return of 3lb claimer Alice Steven to the saddle is a big plus, having won him twice before, and the seven-year-old may have enough to see off Haydock winner Bertie's Ballet and American Sniper, who was a respectable third over further here in December. Others to note include Hardy Du Seuil, Herbiers and Range.

IL VA DE SOI ended 2023/24 on the up and caught the eye with how fluently he travelled at Sandown on his second run back this season, only beaten by a progressive type, so he is taken to resume winning ways. He can see off the challenge of Hardy du Seuil, who is respected back down in grade, with Bertie's Ballet completing the shortlist.

A return to hurdles has been forced upon RANGE after he fell in two of his four chases and that move could be a blessing.
Class & Speed Card

On the back of a couple of facile successes, CUT TO THE CHASE is progressive enough to cope with a 6lb rise imposed for his latest win and is readily suggested as the one to be with here. Turbo Command is attractively weighted off 1lb below his last winning mark and can give the section the most to think about. Soames Forsyte and H Key Lails are the pick of the remainder.

CUT TO THE CHASE arrives on the up and from a yard well among the winners so is fancied to make light of a 6 lb rise and complete his hat-trick. Turbo Command has slipped to a handy-looking mark and could emerge as the main danger ahead of H Key Lails and Soames Forsyte.

Hat-trick seeker CUT TO THE CHASE shouldn't be inconvenienced by returning to further and will surely take to another new track.
Class & Speed Card

A 77-day break proved just the trick for ARCTICIAN when regaining the winning thread over C&D last month. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks more than workable for Simon Dow's gelding and a fifth victory over today's track and trip could be imminent. The reopposing Bell Shot was just behind the selection 23 days ago and is feared most racing off an unchanged mark, ahead of Follow Your Heart.

There was very little to choose between BELL SHOT and Arctician over C&D last month, with the latter narrowly emerging on top. It should again be close but Bell Shot is taken to prevail this time, meeting the winner on 1 lb better terms, plus his rider claims a handy 5 lb. Revolutionise is best of the rest.

The two suggestions against the field are the Mick Appleby-trained runners BELL SHOT and Daring Legend.
Class & Speed Card

ENDLESS DAWN shaped well in two recent handicap starts since joining Ado McGuinness and may be suited by this intermediate trip. The selection showed plenty of pace over 6f and then had Tam Lin just half a length behind when not enjoying the clearest of passages in fourth behind Lost President over a mile. The latter's stablemate Merchants Arch is another to consider after beating all bar Lyle The Crocodile over C&D last time, while Charanda has been tried over a variety of distances and was keeping on in the closing stages when fourth to Red Evolution over 5f a fortnight ago.

MERCHANTS ARCH took a step foward when runner-up over C&D recently and is fancied to go one better now and get off the mark at the chief expense of handily-weighted Tam Lin. Endless Dawn and Charanda can both have a say too in this open handicap.

Preference is for MERCHANTS ARCH(nap) who showed here two weeks ago that he is going the right way and he can land this
Class & Speed Card

KOOL KID has gone close on his last couple of starts in the point-to-point sphere and the experience gained there will help him on his Rules bow. Race To Base is open to progression following his fourth at Aintree on Boxing Day with similar comments applying to Build Your Dream, who occupied the same position at Taunton in November and should step forward.

A winner of his only start in points, RACE TO BASE offered something to work on when fourth in a higher grade on bumper debut at Aintree 7 weeks ago. He's given the narrow vote to build on that, with Rules debutant Kool Kid also of interest. Build Your Dream rates a likely improver following his debut fourth at Taunton and is another needing to be factored in.

Paul Nicholls' runner BUILD YOUR DREAM probably did not enjoy a favourable tactical scenario when fourth on his debut and can improve.
Class & Speed Card

It is difficult to look past PRINCE NINO, who was narrowly denied over further at Newcastle last time out, for which he has been raised 3lb. That mark is still 10lb lower than his last success, and it may be the relatively unexposed Silverbridge that gives him the most to think about for in-form connections. A winner here over two years ago, Royal Rhythm has shown very little since, but cannot be ruled out with that course form to his name.

ROYAL RHYTHM has unquestionably been disappointing so far this season, but he's been given a major chance by the handicapper as a result and is taken to revive. Prince Nino can give another good account, while Farmer Jimmy could prove a different proposition now handicapping up in trip.

Despite lacking a recent run, SILVERBRIDGE looks worth chancing back on softer ground as most of these have questions to answer.
Class & Speed Card

Recent solid form is thin on the ground and it could be worth taking a punt on one of the handicap debutants, with ARCTIC MISSION a tentative selection. The son of El Kabeir should have learned plenty from his three runs to date and first-time blinkers could prove fruitful. All Cost boasts a similar profile to the selection and market support for either would be interesting. Galette is the pick of the remainder.

It could be worth chancing SPINNING DANCER, who caught the eye in a similar event at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. Galette (also shaped better than the bare result) and Ballarat Bertie ran in the same race and are considered also.

The pick of the runners who already have handicap form is BALLARAT BERTIE. All Cost is open to improvement on handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

DROMORE GLORY returned in good form after a seven-month break winning over C&D and made a bold bid to follow up last Friday when headed close home by Omakase with the reserves, Latin and Gardone, dead-heating for fourth. The selection has been raised 3lb in future handicaps. Deed Pole has gone close on a number of occasions here this winter and now steps back up to 1m4f after filling the runner-up spot on his latest two starts. The Cian Hughes-trained gelding is closely matched with Slowdownbarney on running here just before Christmas. Newfire tries this trip for the first time, while Warrior Lion and Esticky End are others to consider.

DROMORE GLORY hasn't finished out of the first 2 in his 3 handicap starts here and is taken to gain compensation for Friday's near miss. Colin Keane's mount Deed Pole is another with a solid course record and heads the dangers along with Slowdownbarney and Glyde Ranger.

Off the same mark as when narrowly failing here last Friday, it is hard to overlook DROMORE GLORY and he is a confident selection
Class & Speed Card

The hat-trick seeking Manton Road warrants respect in his current heart and a 3lb higher mark for a cosy victory at Wolverhampton earlier this month is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, prior to his recorded double, Gay Kelleway's inmate was demoted to second behind reopposing winner PERFECT RUBY at Lingfield. The daughter of Dandy Man proved a different proposition in first-time blinkers that day and she's a shade more compelling. Stable debutant Appleblossomwhite completes the shortlist.

MANTON ROAD isn't the most straightforward but he got the better of a couple of well-backed rivals at Wolverhampton 11 days ago so should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Perfect Ruby showed big improvement when promoted to first at Lingfield last month and rates the main threat ahead of another last-time-out winner Perfect Parole.

This is competitive but MANTON ROAD has continued to progress since being demoted against Perfect Ruby and he gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

GENOAH has shown his best form on this surface filling the runner-up spot over a mile last summer and appreciated the step up to this trip when opening his account last time. The form of that maiden win has worked out very well since and the selection has scope for further improvement on his handicap debut. Autocrat is well suited by this C&D and has built up a good association with Nicola Burns scoring twice this winter including a decisive success last month with Storm Eric well behind in fifth. The latter is better judged on his previous two runs, while Church Mountain won twice over C&D in October and probably didn't stay 1m4f last time.

A trappy finale in which a case can be made for most. GENOAH brings an unexposed profile to his handicap debut and is taken to add to November's C&D maiden success. Autocrat had plenty to spare here last time and is feared most ahead of Church Mountain, who was only seventh over 1½m last time but had won back to back over C&D prior to that.

C&D winner GENOAH is potentially the most progressive runner. He makes his handicap debut with the form of his maiden win endorsed
Class & Speed Card

Megalithic produced a consistent level of form last season and he's unlikely to be far away if running to his current mark of 78, but the vote goes to POLITICAL POWER. The son of Wooded posted a couple of solid performances for Adrian Murray as a juvenile before finishing a creditable second on his stable debut last month. Connections reach for a hood today and, if allowing him to settle better, he ought to go very close. Charlie Appleby often does well with his debutants around here but although Modern Day merits respect, it is a slight concern that he sports a hood having also been gelded.

Newcomer MODERN DAY makes obvious appeal on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Megalithic will be a threat if fully-tuned up following a break and he is next on the list ahead of Political Power. Advancing and Zarakerjack are other debutants to note in the betting.

Newcastle runner-up POLITICAL POWER is taken to go one better. Megalithic is the chief danger on form.
Class & Speed Card

Gaiety Musical arrives having notched up a brace of successes, the latest coming at Wolverhampton, and she merits the utmost respect from 4lb higher. However, the vote goes to MORE THAN A FEELIN, who was chasing a hat-trick of her own when finishing third over an extended 1m1f at the Dunstall Park venue in December. Alice Haynes' charge looks certain to benefit from a drop in trip, so it would come as no surprise were she to make an immediate return to the winner's enclosure. Unassuming is also noted.

UNASSUMING ended last year with a good second behind a next-time-out listed winner at Southwell, before shaping better than the result at Lingfield on her latest outing, so she is taken to get back to winning ways returned to this shorter trip. She can get the better of the hat-trick seeking Gaiety Musical, while More Than A Feelin could also be in the mix.

Most of the runners could still have further progress in them. The percentage call goes to GAIETY MUSICAL, ahead of Unassuming.
Class & Speed Card

Dual C&D winner ARAMIS GREY returned from a near three-month absence to finish a narrow second over track and trip in December. The mare has since moved to Jack Jones and, from an unchanged rating, ought to hold every chance of making a winning stable debut. Heathcliff would have finished closer at Newcastle last time out were it not for traffic problems. He remains in fine fettle though and is of considerable interest, while others to note include King's Lynn and Coachello.

A useful contest. HEATHCLIFF is an AW handicapper on the up and can build on his encouraging Newcastle reappearance. Cajetan, another with a strong AW record, wasn't seen to best effect behind the selection in that Newcastle race and is second choice ahead of Aramis Grey.

With better luck CAJETAN might have gone close at Newcastle last time and he is first choice ahead of Heathcliff.

Buxted Too and Sonnerie Power are weighted to get competitive despite being at the top end of the handicap, while Eton Blue and Aim For The Moon could force their way into contention in this company. However, having won over this trip off 3lb lower at Lingfield on his penultimate start, UPEPO looks the type who could bounce back after finding himself having too much to do when tried over 2m at the same venue last time out.

RISEN AGAIN seems to be getting his act together for Alice Haynes now and is given a chance to build on his good third at Southwell 4 weeks ago. Upepo has done all his winning at Lingfield but is still feared most ahead of Ed Walker handicap newcomer Media Mogul.

Off a reduced mark back over his optimum trip, SONNERIE POWER (nap) can gain an overdue first success for current connections.

SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX was only just denied by an in-form rival over C&D on his penultimate start but quickly made amends for that narrow defeat when routing the opposition at Wolverhampton last month. A 6lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the John Butler-trained five-year-old from following up back here. Our Dagger returned from a break with a cosy win at Newcastle 12 days ago and is feared most off just 3lb higher. The Cola Kid and Stacey Racey are interesting each-way options to consider.

OUR DAGGER needed to show a good turn of foot to come from last to first at Newcastle recently and can defy a 3 lb rise and make it 2-2 for new handler Daragh Bourke. South Dakota Sioux ran out an easy winner at Wolverhampton last month and looks the obvious danger. Stacey Racey may prove best of the remainder if fully primed after 4 months off.

There was much to like about how OUR DAGGER circled his field at Newcastle and he looks well in off just 3lb higher.

The well-handicapped KONDRATIEV WAVE, who is a previous course winner, is generally dependable at this level and his proven reliability earns him the vote in a race lacking depth. Split Elevens is a multiple winner on the all-weather and cannot be ruled out from gaining a first success at this venue in this modest company. Fact Or Fable and Irrelevant have reasonable enough chances and enter the reckoning from a place perspective at least.

The obvious one is KONDRATIEV WAVE, who was only just denied off this mark at Lingfield 10 days ago. Split Elevens was given a hopeless task at Wolverhampton last time and remains of interest, while Beveragino made a respectable start for this yard at Southwell 6 weeks ago.

John Butler's SPLIT ELEVENS gave the first three a head start when a closing fourth at Wolverhampton last time.
