SUPREME YEATS didn't get the chance to show his true worth when he was brought down at the third flight here a fortnight ago, but the Dan Skelton-trained gelding can quickly banish that memory if granted a trouble-free run. Better judged on his ready success at Stratford on his penultimate start, the selection is still attractively weighted and shades preference over Barrons Land, who is respected as a hat-trick seeker but faces a stiffer test over this longer trip. The Wise Traveller completes the shortlist.

SUPREME YEATS got taken out of the race through no fault of his own here last time and can show he's still on a good mark for his new stable. The hat-trick seeking Barrons Land looks the obvious threat ahead of Shantou Lucky.

This can go to SUPREME YEATS, who won with a bit left in the tank on his stable debut at Stratford this month.
Class & Speed Card

SUNNY ORANGE accounted for his nearest rival by over five lengths over an extended 7f at Beverley a few days ago and a 5lb penalty might not be enough to halt him. Tim Easterby's four-year-old remains in the same grade and he can follow up. Indie Skies finished a close-up third in a class 5 event at Chester on his latest outing and he could get into contention off an unchanged mark, while Rockin Rosa completes the shortlist.

SUNNY ORANGE took his form up a notch when going in at Beverley last time and a 5 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. C&D winner Alseeyerthere is feared most, with in-form duo Indie Skies and Rockin Rosa both firmly in the picture too.

Top of the list is SUNNY ORANGE, who surged 5l clear at Beverley on Tuesday and is well treated under a penalty for that success.
Class & Speed Card

School Days Over sets the standard on the official ratings and is an interesting contender back over hurdles in a novice, while A Definite Getaway has gone well here in the past and is dangerous to rule out on these terms. However, preference is for G A HENTY, who has shown definite promise since joining his current yard and, having returned from a short break with a near miss at Warwick last month, the lightly-raced seven-year-old should be primed and ready for more suitable test of stamina.

G A HENTY bounced back to form when third at Warwick last month and, with the step back up in trip likely to suit, he's the percentage call to get off the mark. School Days Over ran no sort of race on his most recent outing over fences, but still needs considering back over the smaller obstacles judged on the pick of his form, while recent point winner Call Her Clever and Cooler Than Me need keeping an eye on in the betting.

The pick is SCHOOL DAYS OVER, who has a point to prove after running poorly in a chase last month but, on balance, has the best form.
Class & Speed Card

PEARL SANDS outran his odds to hit the frame in this grade at Catterick earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to leave his mark unchanged. Brian Ellison's three-year-old may only need to reproduce that effort in order to shed his maiden tag. The main danger is Kode Secret, who struck in soft conditions at Carlisle last month and should go well off a 5lb higher mark. Salaamaat is another to take seriously.

KODE SECRET looks the way to go at these weights on the back of his improved showing when scoring at Carlisle. Pearl Sands appeals as the main danger to Tim Easterby's 3-y-o, with Socialise and Salaamaat also in the mix.

The vote goes to KODE SECRET, who got off the mark when justifying favouritism at Carlisle last month and is open to more progress.
Class & Speed Card

Aidan O'Brien plays a strong hand as he bids for a third success in this race. While Heavens Gate is notable after breezing through a Curragh maiden last month, it is hard to look beyond FAIRY GODMOTHER as the stable's best hope. Despite finding one too good when running green on debut at Naas, the daughter of Night Of Thunder reversed the form with the winner of that race, producing a power-packed finish in a Group 3 at the same venue last month. It has been all systems go at Ballydoyle for this since. The unbeaten Mountain Breeze can give the selection most to think about after a brace of novice wins at Newmarket. Hot Darling, a Listed scorer in France, and maiden winners Liberalised and Twafeeg appeal as each-way hopes.

MOUNTAIN BREEZE and Fairy Godmother stand out on form and might fight this out, with the first-named marginally preferred given she's still open to significant improvement. Loads of others have potential but Simmering might be the pick of them after an eye-catching debut in a strong race.

The form pick is FAIRY GODMOTHER. Smart prospect Mountain Breeze is feared most, ahead of Heavens Gate.
Class & Speed Card

A DUBLIN JOB wasn't fully extended when winning over 2m4f at Huntingdon last month and rates a serious contender to follow up off just 6lb higher. The selection drops back a furlong but a similarly dominant effort from the front could make him hard to deal with here. Fellow last-time-out winner Imperial Rule is feared most from just a 4lb higher mark, while previous C&D winners Miladygrace and Rafferty can go well on these terms.

IMPERIAL RULE created an excellent impression (equipped with a first-time hood) when making a winning chase debut at Perth, able to overcome a troubled passage and quickening to lead close home. Completely unexposed in this sphere, he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid from a 4 lb higher mark. Fellow chase debutant winner A Dublin Job is another with more to offer and he's the chief threat. The returning Miladygrace and Reines des Tartes are others worth a look.

The suggestion is INGLEBY MACKENZIE, who is very well handicapped and hinted at a possible return to form on his recent stable debut.
Class & Speed Card

JAMES MCHENRY justified his place in the market when scoring by just under two lengths in a class 4 event at Carlisle last month, and he now takes a step back up in grade off 5lb higher. The son of Starspangledbanner may still have plenty more to offer and he looks the one to beat. Obelix was touched off by half a length into second at Nottingham recently and he should be thereabouts off the same mark on his second start following wind surgery. Cruyff Turn makes some appeal too.

Competitive stuff but the eye is drawn to CRUYFF TURN, who took a step back in the right direction at Nottingham 3 weeks ago and is very well weighted having won a 7f handicap from 5 lb higher at this meeting a year ago. James McHenry and La Trinidad are just a couple of potential threats.

Plenty have possibilities but recent Carlisle winner JAMES MCHENRY gets the vote ahead of Danielsflyer and Obelix.
Class & Speed Card

After a ready success in the Group 3 Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes on his previous outing, JASOUR can continue his upward trajectory and land a first Group 1. Clive Cox saddled Golden Horde to land this prize in 2020 and this son of Havana Grey can give him a second success in the race. Inisherin rates as the obvious danger after a comfortable win in the Sandy Lane at Haydock, but that form isn't yet convincing after the well-fancied Vandeek under-performed. Elite Status should also be on the scene after an impressive success in Listed company at Newbury, while Starlust actually boasts the highest rating in this field and he isn't easily discounted.

Sheikh Mohammed Obaid holds a really strong hand, with easy Sandy Lane winner INISHERIN preferred to Elite Status, who was equally impressive from the front in a Newbury listed race last time. Jasour, whose connections know what it takes to win this, was a ready winner of the trial over C&D at the start of last month and looks best of the remainder.

Inisherin and Elite Status are on the up but preference is for JASOUR after a ready reappearance success over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

After being beaten just a head over 2m1f at Cartmel last month, CALLIN BATON ROUGE can go one better. Charles and Adam Pogson's runner has been raised just 2lb for that effort which appears lenient. The consistent Billams Legacy is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection after yet another second at Huntingdon last time, while Vivid Pink bumped into a progressive rival last time and she can be seen to better effect on her handicap bow.

BILLAMS LEGACY rates just the pick of these weights so is fancied to gain a deserved victory and end a run of six consecutive second placings. Handicap-debutante Vivid Pink appeals as the one to give Fergal O'Brien's mare most to do, although River Robe can also have a say now starting out for Dan Skelton after breathing surgery.

Dan Skelton's new recruit RIVER ROBE was given a wind op last month and gets the vote ahead of Billams Legacy.
Class & Speed Card

Castle Cove was value for further than his debut victory at Leicester last month and the Camelot colt must enter calculations on his follow-up bid. However, a 7lb penalty may leave him vulnerable to the experienced MIDNITE STORM. Having hit the frame on his last five outings, Kevin Ryan's inmate cannot be faulted for his consistency and a breakthrough triumph could be on the cards. James Webb may chase the pair home.

CASTLE COVE created a very favourable impression when making a winning start at Leicester last month, and with plenty of improvement forthcoming, he can defy a penalty. James Webb found only a Haggas-trained rival too good and the same scenario may well play out again, with Midnite Storm another to consider on account of his solid form in handicaps.

Midnite Storm is a solid yardstick but CASTLE COVE looked promising on debut and can follow up under the penalty.
Class & Speed Card

The first three from the 1000 Guineas reoppose, but it can pay to side with OPERA SINGER. A brilliant winner of the Prix Marcel Boussac last October, connections were clear to point out that she would come on for her highly creditable third in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and now could be the time she is seen at her optimum. Elmalka narrowly saw off Porta Fortuna and Ramatuelle in the Newmarket Guineas, but it may be Donnacha O'Brien's runner-up who fares best of that trio this time, having proven herself around a bend when touched off at the Breeders' Cup.

A cracking race in store and with 1m round a bend promising to be right up RAMATUELLE's street, she's taken to reverse the 1000 Guineas form with Elmalka and Porta Fortuna having been worn down late by that pair at Newmarket. In fact, a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Opera Singer, who was the best of these at 2 yrs and is sure to step up on her Irish Guineas run.

Compensation awaits RAMATUELLE, who looked the best filly in the 1,000 Guineas. Porta Fortuna is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

A very open contest sees a chance taken on KARL PHILIPPE, who struggled to land a blow in the Perth Gold Cup last time, but this easier-looking assignment could see Fergal O'Brien's charge return to form. The nine-year-old scored in convincing fashion on his penultimate start over 3m at Kempton and a repeat of that effort would see him difficult to beat. Yccs Portocervo was a commanding winner of a hunter chase over 2m5f at Newton Abbot and this hat-trick seeker commands plenty of respect, while Mylesfromwicklow should also be thereabouts.

Lots with chances. WHISTLEINTHEDARK can boast a C&D success and has slipped to a handy-looking mark so edges the vote with this return to a shorter trip also in his favour. Dan Skelton's Mylesfromwicklow is feared most, especially if a breathing op ekes out some improvement, while Northern Bound and Vintage Fizz are both weighted to have a say too. Mulberry Hill completes the shortlist after her recent spin over hurdles.

Progressive 6yo MYLESFROMWICKLOW (nap) followed his C&D win in March with a clear second at Uttoxeter last month and gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

TATATEO appeared to relish the step up in distance when opening his account over 1m2f in a novice at Lingfield last month. A mark of 80 on his handicap debut looks more than workable judged on that improved bid and James Ferguson's gelding can complete a double. The Hun travelled with more verve in first-time blinkers when runner-up at Chester latest and might give the selection most to think about, ahead of Rocket Warrior.

A case can be made for all 5, with THE HUN just about the most persuasive option having finished an excellent second in first-time blinkers at Chester. Tatateo may have more to offer on turf so is feared, with Financer a very likely improver now handicapping back up in trip.

This can go to TATATEO (nap) who was a comfortable winner at Lingfield last month and is open to more progress on this handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

Four of the last six renewals of this contest have gone the way of a four-year-old, so with that in mind, the vote goes to ETHICAL DIAMOND. The son of Awtaad was denied by the smallest of margins over 1m2f at Leopardstown in his preparation for this, shaping as if he would relish this extra distance. The booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye and he looks the one to be on, with his main threat possibly being Tony Montana, who seems to just do enough in his races, which possibly allows him to keep ahead of the handicapper. Michael Bell's gelding is only 2lb higher for his Windsor success last month and he isn't taken lightly, while Crystal Black and Deakin are just two others to consider in a wide-open heat.

ETHICAL DIAMOND continued his theme of race-by-race progress on his first start on the Flat for his top NH stable when narrowly denied by another upwardly mobile sort at Leopardstown 6 weeks ago and, with the step back up in trip holding no fears, he makes plenty of appeal under Ryan Moore. Last month's Curragh 1-2 Crystal Black and Deakin bolster a strong Irish challenge and are feared, with returning Shadow Dance another to note. Bague d'Or and Vaguely Royal also make each-way appeal.

It's easy to see why Ethical Diamond has been made the clear favourite but SHADOW DANCE could also be a horse to follow.
Class & Speed Card

CLIMATE PRECEDENT made a winning stable debut for Dan Skelton at Stratford on Tuesday when scoring with a fair amount in hand and the four-year-old is expected to be a tough nut to crack once again, despite shouldering a 7lb penalty. Getaway With You chased home a Skelton inmate on his first run for new connections at Uttoxeter last month and may well do the same on this occasion. Warner's Cross and Getaway Cory appeal most of the remainder.

CLIMATE PRECEDENT travelled smoothly and easily went clear when making a winning start for this yard at Stratford earlier in the week and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he should be able to brush aside a penalty. Getaway With You also arrives on the back of a positive start for a new yard and Zuul is one to consider.

Tuesday's Stratford winner Climate Precedent could be all the rage. GETAWAY CORY is a slightly speculative alternative.
Class & Speed Card

A 3lb drop in the ratings for MECCA'S DUCHESS' recent fifth in a 14-runner affair at Catterick could prove to be lenient. Michael Dods' filly was only beaten three lengths on that occasion and she looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to gain a first career success. Split The Profit is also sure to be popular having finished a close-up second at Windsor on Monday. The Profitable gelding is feared most, ahead of handicap debutant Pendlebury Lane.

Back at a more realistic level, SPLIT THE PROFIT quickly returned to form when runner-up at Windsor on Monday and a repeat of that performance will see him bang there again. Mecca's Duchess is a solid rival, with Pendlebury Lane the potential improver in the race now handicapping.

Top of the list is SPLIT THE PROFIT, who has had several close calls this year including off the same mark at Windsor on Monday.
Class & Speed Card

Having filled the runner-up berth on both starts to date, KILMOOD SUSAN rates as the most solid proposition. The daughter of Belardo is a potential improver now faced with a sounder surface and a breakthrough victory could be on the horizon. The biggest threat may emerge from Powerful Lady, who didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when finishing ninth at Beverley earlier this month, while Shamrock Breeze is likely to feature too.

KILMOOD SUSAN stuck to her task really well when second at Tipperary 3 weeks ago and with further improvement likely, a maiden such as this ought to be within range. Powerful Lady wasn't seen to best effect last time so that run is easy to excuse, while the speedy Billie Be Quick also needs considering.

This might go to BILLIE BE QUICK who showed very good speed on debut at Navan and the drop back to this trip could be ideal
Class & Speed Card

A typically-open renewal sees a whole host of of runners in with a chance, but it's ASIAN DAZE who gets the tentative nod to give the 2021 winning combination of Johnny Murtagh and Ben Coen a second success in the race. This daughter of Frontiersman was only narrowly beaten by the reopposing Everlasting off level weights when second in Listed company over 1m at Navan earlier this month and she could reverse that form off a 5lb lower mark than Aiden O'Brien's charge. The hat-trick seeking Indelible looks a leading player off a very tempting opening mark of 91 on his handicap bow, while Zaynab (first) and Flight Of Fancy (third) finished in front of the selection two starts ago and they are also worthy of consideration.

INDELIBLE ran out a ready winner on her return at Doncaster and that race has a strong look to it. She could be well ahead of her mark now handicapping, entries in the Falmouth and Irish Oaks catching the eye, and she's hard to get away from. The progressive Fair Angellica is a likely contenders, while Without Words might be the pick of a strong Irish challenge.

Although a winner only once in eight starts, not a lot has ever gone right for SOPRANO and today's longer trip might be what she needs.
Class & Speed Card

Fine By Her relished the switch back to hurdles when a surprise winner at Fakenham at the start of the month and she is capable of being in the mix off a 4lb higher mark. Chemical Warfare and Bensini were both in contention when coming to grief late on at Worcester over fences and the pair are both of interest reverting to timber. However, the claims of SPOT ON SOPH are difficult to ignore, with the eight-year-old having won a conditional jockeys' event over C&D last week. She is 6lb well-in and should go well.

SPOT ON SOPH was better than ever when winning here a week ago and could defy a rise in a thin race. Chemical Warfare is a danger back over hurdles and Crossbeau should give another good account.

David Pipe's CHEMICAL WARFARE might well have defied a 10lb higher mark over fences three weeks ago but for coming down late on.
Class & Speed Card

She's Quality finished fourth in Listed class at Cork on her latest outing and she makes her first start in handicaps off a mark of 97, so she has to be respected. However, the vote goes to BEATRIX POWER, who has improved with each run and her most recent third at the Curragh was a highly encouraging effort. The daughter of Slade Power could be the one to beat, while Aurora Nova holds an obvious chance after her triumph at Fairyhouse.

AURORA NOVA takes on sterner opposition to that faced when successful at Fairyhouse 7 days ago but the manner of that victory highlighted she's operating firmly at the top of her game, so she earns the vote to defy the handicapper and follow up. Beatrix Potter and She's Quality, down in grade, are others to consider.

A drop in class for SHE'S QUALITY after two good runs in Listed races at Cork. She has plenty of weight but may be equal to the task
Class & Speed Card

Agenda was no match for the ill-fated Hidden Law in the Chester Vase but that is a strong piece of form and he can mount another stern challenge, for a trainer that has landed two of the previous five renewals of this race. Stablemate Diego Velazquez finished a creditable fourth in the French Guineas before posting another solid performance in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly earlier this month. Upped further in trip and back on a sounder surface, he must be feared, but THEORY OF TIDES might be worth chancing. This is much tougher than the two novice events he has been successful in but the son of Galileo looks potentially a high-class performer and he could be up to the task. Space Legend was an unfortunate loser at Goodwood last time but he won't be far away granted a clear passage, while French raider Calandagan should not be underestimated but he might prefer slower ground.

SPACE LEGEND would have surely run out a comfortable winner with a clear passage in a listed event at Goodwood last month and, with further progress on the cards, he's taken to gain compensation in this higher grade. Theory of Tides defied a penalty in the manner of a fine prospect at Yarmouth and looks very interesting pitched into better company, with Ballydoyle pair Agenda and Diego Velazquez completing the shortlist.

Ryan Moore's mount DIEGO VELAZQUEZ may well be the pick of four runners from Ballydoyle and should benefit from this quicker ground.
Class & Speed Card

Any market support for debutants Kalahari Blue and Green Ace must be respected, but SOLDIER'S HEART rates as the most solid proposition. The Havana Grey colt found only subsequent Coventry Stakes fifth Al Qudra too strong on his introduction over 6f at Lingfield earlier this month. This drop in trip should suit and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Invincible Song makes most appeal of the remainder with race experience.

SOLDIER'S HEART chased home one who ran well in the Coventry on his Lingfield debut and should take a bit of stopping unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding one of the newcomers. Kalahari Blue has a useful pedigree and gets a tentative vote for the forecast spot before any betting clues are known.

This can go to SOLDIER'S HEART who showed plenty of promise when a clear second on his Lingfield debut.
Class & Speed Card

MARY SHOELACES had excuses when finishing three-lengths third over C&D last time and she can offer a bold bid. Eddie and Patrick Harty's charge was awkward at the start on that occasion before finding trouble in running and she is fancied to reverse the form with the reopposing She's Smart (first) on 8lb better terms. Emerald Harmony and Lady Daar are also worthy of respect.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and MARY SHOELACES rates the pick of these weights so gets the nod. Handicap-debutante Lady Daar appeals as a likely improver for Gavin Cromwwell so could emerge as the chief threat ahead of the handily-weighted She's Smart.

Slight preference is for LADY DAAR. She may be better suited by 5f than Emerlad Harmony who has finished in front of her in maidens
Class & Speed Card

Biniorella Bay and WATHBAH have met before, with Tom Clover's youngster faring best when runner-up at Lingfield. While there are undoubtedly races in her, the suspicion is that her Archie Watson-trained rival has the more scope for improvement because she also ran green when fifth on that introduction and might derive a little bit extra benefit from it. Bintabuha is one of the first progeny of Ghaiyyath to hit the track and this 140,000gns yearling commands attention on debut.

A tricky opener to solve despite the small field but the vote goes to BINIORELLA BAY, who found just one too strong on debut at Lingfield recently and is entitled to build on that initial effort. Wathbah was a few places behind the selection that day and she may emerge as the main danger ahead of Theatrically, who has experience on her side and could improve for this step up in trip.

Both Biniorella Bay and WATHBAH needed the experience on debut and preference for the Watson filly is only marginal.
Class & Speed Card

Although this is just the fifth renewal of this 5f contest for three-year-olds, it is interesting to note that the top six in the weights have yet to make the frame in the past four years. This is a stat that the well-fancied Jubilee Walk must overcome, but James Ferguson's gelding still warrants respect having completed a hat-trick at York last month. However, it may pay to side with a less-exposed rival in DORNEY LAKE. The Ardad colt has impressed on both victories to date this season and an opening handicap mark of 90 may underestimate his ability. The unbeaten Dyrholaey is also open to more improvement than most and arrives here on the back of a gutsy victory at Newcastle. The Archie Watson-trained colt is feared most, while Epsom Dash scorer Blue Storm and Vantheman are just two others to consider in a wide-open finale.

The biggest field yet of this competitive 3-y-o handicap and the suggestion is MUKAAFAH, who left his disappointing reappearance behind in no uncertain terms at Doncaster last month and Kevin Philippart de Foy's colt looks the sort that can climb the ranks quickly. Dorney Lake looks a serious threat now handicapping, so he heads up the opposition, with Vantheman, Pilgrim, Jubilee Walk and Dyrholaey all seemingly having plenty going for them, too.

Mukaafah, Vantheman and JUBILEE WALK (nap) appeal most. The latter created a big impression with a power-packed finish at York.
Class & Speed Card

Road To Wembley was thwarted in his hat-trick bid when third at Southwell last time out. Richard Hughes' inmate is also a further 4lb higher in the ratings and he may prove vulnerable once more. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a punt on the downgraded COOL LEGEND, who will appreciate a return to this distance, more so in these calmer waters. Handicap debutant Pure Of Heart arrives here on a fair mark and she also enters calculations.

ROAD TO WEMBLEY has been freshened up since losing his unbeaten handicap record at Southwell in April and is taken to resume his progression. Cool Legend should find this a little easier than the handicaps he's contested at the York Dante and Epsom Derby meetings and is second choice ahead of David Simcock handicap newcomer Lord Chamberlain.

The vote goes to COOL LEGEND whose sixth of 12 in a 0-100 contest at Epsom on Derby Day was probably better than it looked.
Class & Speed Card

Keke had a few of these in behind when winning over this trip at Navan 13 days ago, including ERUPTION, who can turn the tables on her old rival back at this venue with faster ground forecast. The selection was only a half-length behind in second at the line that day and, off the same terms, there are solid foundations to expect another bold showing with conditions to suit. Rathbranchurch and Tamazu are a couple of others with solid each-way appeal.

KEKE had a bit up his sleeve when seeing off Eruption at Navan 13 days ago and can defy a 6 lb rise in his mark under Billy Lee. Matthew Smith's charge may give him most to do again, ahead of Cuban Grey and Marble Angel.

Navan third REALTIN FANTASY came right back to form that day and over this faster five she is likely to be even more effective
Class & Speed Card

GLOBAL ASSET was fancied to build on a narrow handicap-debut defeat at Windsor, only to spread a plate at the start at Newbury last week. Rerouted here, he can confirm that comeback promise, although Berkshire Nugget won't make it easy for him, for all that he has been a bit costly to follow. Great Chieftain got closest to a subsequent winner at Nottingham, while Marmaduke Lemon and Sheila's Paradise are interesting newcomers to handicaps.

GLOBAL ASSET resumed with an excellent Windsor second and can go one better now and open his account at the chief expense of Great Chieftain, who also arrives on the back of a good runner-up finish at Nottingham. Berkshire Nugget and Sheila's Paradise also need factoring in.

The progressive GLOBAL ASSET (nap) can defy a 3lb rise at the expense of Great Chieftain. Sheila's Paradise can go well too.
Class & Speed Card

Having built on his promising reappearance third at Windsor in April with a victory the following month at Lingfield, PREMIERE LIGNE looks one to keep the right side of. A 4lb rise in the ratings looks on the lenient side and the five-year-old is taken to complete a double. Robusto and Lexington Knight aren't easily dismissed in their current form either.

MR FREEDOM was pulled up in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock last time but Sheena West's 5-y-o, who did really well on the Flat last year, is not the type to stay down for long. He's selected ahead of last month's Lingfield scorer Premiere Ligne and Lexington Knight..

The choice is MR FREEDOM who has been busy over hurdles since October, but who completed a hat-trick on the Flat this time last year.
Class & Speed Card

There was plenty to like about the debut effort of IOWNTHEBALL, who managed to reach the frame in a big field over 6f at the Curragh last month. The son of Advertise looks set to improve now stepped up in trip and he's preferred to newcomer Midnight Stagger, a half-brother to a couple of useful types. Magna Grecia colt Calcifer wasn't the most expensive of purchases, but there is enough in his pedigree to suggest he can play a leading role.

IOWNTHEBALL made a positive start when third at the Curragh on debut and he can put his experience to good use against mostly newcomers. Calcifer and Heishybrid both make some appeal on paper.

The form standard set by IOWNTHEBALL in finishing third in a Curragh auction maiden gives him a definite edge here
Class & Speed Card

MIDNIGHT GUN took a big step forward when upped to an extended mile for his turf debut at Nottingham, staying on strongly to break his duck. The runner-up has since gone one better, while the four-length third made the frame off a mark of 87 at the Derby meeting, so an initial figure of 88 may be a lenient one for Ed Walker's colt. Mythical Guest has won two out of three this campaign, although this distance is on the short side. Borgi is well treated compared to his all-weather rating so is worth a look.

MIDNIGHT GUN boasts a smashing pedigree and took a step forward switched to turf when a cosy winner of a Nottingham novice 6 weeks ago. The type to go on progressing in handicaps, he makes plenty of appeal on just his fourth start. Mythical Guest, who is 2-3 this campaign, is next best down in trip, ahead of Speeding Bullet and Makeen.

Impressive on his turf debut last month, MIDNIGHT GUN remains open to further improvement. Speeding Bullet is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Open Secret could only manage fourth on his handicap debut at Doncaster, but he has to be considered now in maiden company with a top rating of 78 in this contest. However, TACTICIAN could improve past him. Andrew Balding's colt has finished fifth on each of his two starts to date and he kept on at one pace over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth, suggesting this step up in trip would be a good move. Story Horse is another to consider.

OPEN SECRET put up a fair showing for a long way in a decent-looking 3-y-o handicap over this trip at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go back in a maiden with a promising 7 lb claimer taking over. Tactician can improve over this longer trip and looks the big danger.

This looks a good opportunity for OPEN SECRET who should find this easier than the 0-100 handicap he contested last time.
Class & Speed Card

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI built on his return effort at Leopardstown over a mile when scoring at the same venue over a furlong shorter last Thursday. The seven-year-old gets the vote to continue his current vein of form. The main danger Boadicea Belle won on the same card as the selection when turned out just a day after receiving no luck in running at Limerick. Others worth considering include Red Heel and Distillate.

GUISEPPE CASSIOLI produced his best effort for some time when scoring at Leopardstown 8 days ago and he's still feasibly treated on the pick of his past efforts, so can follow up at the possible expense of Distillate, who was better than the result in a more competitive race at the Curragh 16 days ago. Boadicea Belle is another one to consider for all that she's not the most consistent.

Things did not seem to go to plan for RED HEEL at Gowran last Sunday and she is worth another chance based on her previous C&D second
Class & Speed Card

Penalised runners are likely to come to the fore here, and it is RHETORICAL that shades preference. William Haggas' colt defeated a subsequent winner in comfortable fashion on his debut over this trip at Newbury and natural improvement might suffice with that in mind. More Thunder had excuses at Windsor, but he made no mistake at Nottingham next time and it is hard to see him being out of the picture today, under similar conditions. Burrito is related to a host of smart types, most notably stablemate Epictetus, and he is worth a market check.

RHETORICAL looked a smart prospect when easily seeing off a subsequent winner on debut at Newbury 5 weeks ago and can make it 2-2 before having his sights raised. This has the look of a good contest for the grade though, with fellow last-time-out winners Specialisation, More Thunder and Ciro di Marzio all likely to improve also.

The well-related Burrito is interesting but he'll need to be above-average if he's to see off impressive Newbury winner RHETORICAL.
Class & Speed Card

Swindon boasts an appealing profile after filling the runner-up spot at Chepstow and it would be no surprise to see him get involved off an opening mark of 84 now up in trip. However, the vote goes to the more battle-hardened GET THE MUSIC ON. Clive Cox's filly bounced back when only denied by a head at Kempton and she is just 2lb higher for that effort. If she remains in the same form, she could prove hard to beat. Dashinwhitesargent isn't out of it either.

DASHINWHITESARGENT upped his game at Epsom on handicap debut and looks the sort to go on progressing, so he's marginally preferred to American Bay who looks capable of better. Get The Music On is another big player if fully effective on turf.

This can go to handicap debutant SWINDON (nap), who probably still has plenty more to offer after just two starts.

Hijo De La Luna took a step back in the right direction on his latest appearance, finishing third in a blanket finish to a C&D handicap, but the vote goes to CLARINBRIDGE. Leanne Breen's mare made an excellent return to turf when runner-up at Limerick recently and can build on that in her attempt to go one place better. Sadiqaa has to enter the equation too.

SAFFREDI shaped much better than the bare result on handicap debut at Leopardstown last week, keeping on when badly hampered over 1f out, and looks to have a bigger effort in the locker. He gets the vote over Hijo de La Luna and Navorrosse.

Slight preference is for HIJO DE LA LUNA, a close third in a C&D handicap last month off 2lb lower, and will go close if reproducing

Runner-up on the Rowley Mile last month, REBAATT was able to record a bloodless success at Chester one week ago and appears the one to beat under a 6lb penalty. That said, Chaturanga proved well suited by the step up to 10 furlongs when winning at Newcastle last time out and he should have more to offer. Southwell maiden winner Big Zou does not look overburdened by an opening mark of 78 and he is worth a second look following a 168-day absence.

REBAATT well and truly confirmed previous promise when running out an emphatic winner at Chester 7 days ago and he should prove very tough to beat under a penalty. Big Zou and Chaturanga are the lead threats.

This is all about REBAATT, who looks fast on the upgrade and is 8lb well-in under the penalty. The unexposed Big Zou is next best.

ENCHANTING bolted up over track and trip last week and she makes a quick turnaround under a 6lb penalty. William Carver negates 3lb of that with his claim and Andrew Balding's filly looks difficult to oppose. The main threat is Monday's Windsor scorer Kiss And Run, who might still be improving, while Grandlad is a C&D winner and that counts for plenty here.

ENCHANTING made all in good style here last week and she can follow up under a penalty if in the same form. Grandlad, the other C&D winner in the field, could be the danger.

The choice is ENCHANTING who is 5lb well in under a penalty for her easy win over C&D seven days ago.

WONDER KID is officially 5lb well in under his penalty, having bolted up at Newbury eight days ago. The unexposed Belardo gelding can continue his ascendency today, while the main threat could come from Sir Galahad. Both efforts since switching to handicaps would suggest he can be competitive once again and similar comments apply to Maritime Lady, though a bit more will be required for win purposes.

WONDER KID proved an all-round improved model as he made a winning return/handicap debut over this trip at Newbury 8 days ago without looking the finished article and he looks the one to side with under a penalty with the prospect of more to come. Sir Galahad and Livinthelife are others fancied to be in the mix.

5lb well-in under the penalty, WONDER KID is clearly the one to beat. Normandy Vista may prove the main danger.
