MARWARI has been running well in defeat of late and this looks like as good an opportunity as any to regain the winning thread, at a track where he has excelled in the past. Give A Little Back hasn't been disgraced on his last two starts and must enter calculations, along with Corinthia Knight, who has become very well handicapped. Others to note include Idoapologise, Peachey Carnehan and Winnetka.
Prediction : 1st Marwari 2nd Give A Little Back 3rd Corinthia Knight

Not beaten far on his handicap debut at Kempton last month, there should be more improvement forthcoming from EM JAY KAY, especially with the step up in trip expected to suit. He can get the better of Mumcat, who was narrowly denied at Newcastle, as well as Wolverhampton winner My Genghis. Kath's Toyboy is another one to keep an eye on as he makes his first start for new connections.
Prediction : 1st Em Jay Kay 2nd Mumcat 3rd My Genghis

Runner-up on her last three starts, including twice over C&D, SUGAR HILL BABE deserves a change in luck and this might be the opportunity she has been waiting for in a relatively weak contest. Jer Batt is an intriguing recruit from Irish shores and must be considered, along with More Than A Grey, who is open to improvement on just his fifth career outing.
Prediction : 1st Sugar Hill Babe 2nd Jer Batt 3rd More Than A Grey

MOON OVER THE SEA arrives having taken a step forward in this company on his last couple of outings and the four-year-old commands the utmost respect on the evidence of those performances. Persian Wolf is capable of better in a first-time visor following a below par display when last seen at Chelmsford, while Destinado and Sicario appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Moon Over The Sea 2nd Persian Wolf 3rd Destinado

AZTEC EMPIRE got off the mark at the third time of asking at Kempton last month, following a brace of promising efforts, and the son of Sea The Stars remains open to further improvement now making his handicap debut. Evania was tried in Listed company on her latest start at Lingfield and is likely to find this an easier assignment. She can enter calculations, along with First Officer, who was last seen finishing fourth in the November Handicap, and Gumball.
Prediction : 1st Aztec Empire 2nd Evania 3rd First Officer

WRITTEN BROADCAST rewarded connections for his string of consistent efforts by gaining a second career victory over C&D last time and it would be no surprise if the six-year-old proved too strong for these rivals. Lord Cherry moves out of handicap company and he boasts the form to be very competitive, while How Bizarre and Oriental Lilly complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Written Broadcast 2nd Lord Cherry 3rd How Bizarre

16:35 Southwell

SWEET IDEA may still be a maiden through six starts but she has shown more than enough in recent outings to suggest that she can get off the mark over a C&D she ran a career-best over in December. Harry With Style has the potential to improve going up in trip, while Danchovska has every chance if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Sweet Idea 2nd Harry With Style 3rd Danchovska

A tentative vote goes to EASY EQUATION, who was a winner over C&D in October and has been running with credit in recent outings. He is now just 1lb above that winning mark and may have too much for the likes of Thunder Gap, who is of major interest on the step up in trip, and the capable King Charles. Ghostly and Kiss My Face are players based on the pick of their form.
Prediction : 1st Easy Equation 2nd Thunder Gap 3rd Ghostly
