ALL DUNN justified market support when getting off the mark on his first attempt at this level at Chelmsford earlier in the month and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him progress from that display. Danchovska shaped as though he would benefit from tackling an extra furlong when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time, while Ok Pal and Dafyre appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st All Dunn 2nd Danchovska 3rd Ok Pal

WE'RENOTREALLYHERE boasts a fair amount of experience and, in a contest that appears to be very winnable on paper, John Quinn's gelding could finally take advantage on this occasion. Savannah Smiles' only start to date saw her finish last of three to a subsequent Group 2 winner and she is entitled to improve from that effort. Shine Honey Shine and newcomer Mclean House are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Werenotreallyhere 2nd Savannah Smiles 3rd Shine Honey Shine

VICTORY MARCH may have found his latest effort at Newcastle a step too far after landing a hat-trick of wins in December. The six-year-old is likely to have been freshened up since and the step back up in trip is unlikely to pose any issues. Summertime Romance has run well off a break before and was last seen at York when not disgraced in a competitive handicap. Temporize and Mukha Magic can fight it out for third.
Prediction : 1st Victory March 2nd Summertime Romance 3rd Temporize

ZEALOT recorded a fourth-consecutive success when recently winning over C&D and a 6lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to prevent yet another victory. Alrehb makes his return after a 121-day absence and rates a live threat if in the same form that saw him finish third at Newmarket. Court Of Session still appeals as the type who has more races in him off this mark and can't be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Zealot 2nd Alrehb 3rd Court Of Session

Fine Balance may have more to offer now entering handicaps, but she will need to improve as her opening mark doesn't look the most lenient. WADACRE GRACE has proved expensive to follow of late with four runner-up efforts. Nonetheless, this looks a golden opportunity for the Charlie Johnston charge to get back on the scoresheet. Arthur's Victory may come on for her reappearance on New Year's Day and makes more appeal than C&D winner Sid's Annie and Luckyboylovelywife, who has first-time blinkers applied.
Prediction : 1st Wadacre Grace 2nd Fine Balance 3rd Arthurs Victory

With an official rating of 67, Let Em Have It sets the standard, but, though he merits respect, the vote goes to SHOW COMPASSION. Michael Dods' charge showed improvement on her second start when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month and the daughter of Showcasing wouldn't need to progress much further to go one better. Dalby Forest has posted some good efforts in defeat recently and heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Show Compassion 2nd Let Em Have It 3rd Dalby Forest

A few with chances, so only a tentative vote can go to PHOENIX STAR. Jessica Macey's seven-year-old finds himself well treated following a string of below-par efforts, but the likely strong pace ought to suit him here and a ninth career success might be in the offing. Blazing Hot struck over C&D last month and he should remain competitive from a 4lb higher mark. Others to note include Pepper Streak and Dark Side Prince.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Star 2nd Blazing Hot 3rd Pepper Streak
