A few of these are open to improvement, and the likes of handicap debutant Sundazed along with Smooth Ryder, who is tried in cheekpieces for the first-time, should be monitored carefully in the betting. However, SARATOGA SPIRIT strikes as a more appealing option. Charlie Hills' filly is a half-sister to all-weather winners over this trip and perhaps more crucially, goes handicapping from a very workable mark. Foinix and Fullforward are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Saratoga Spirit 2nd Sundazed 3rd Smooth Ryder

On face value, Topo Chico has the best form figures and is consistent enough for a place on the shortlist. However, it comes with the caveat that she is making her handicap debut after being expensive to follow in novice company. Similar comments apply to Originally, who has ability but was turned over at short odds when last tried over 7f. Therefore, the nomination goes the way of DEED POLE, who is 1lb well-in after being beaten less than a length into second over a mile on his handicap debut here last week.
Prediction : 1st Deed Pole 2nd Topo Chico 3rd Originally

There is a strong temptation to side with Fly The Nest given how well he's held his form since winning over an extended mile at Wolverhampton in October. He's equally effective over this trip and warrants respect after his C&D triumph just last month. However, a 3lb higher mark, as well as a drop in distance after his subsequent second here, creates hope that EVASIVE POWER (seventh) can reverse the form of last week's encounter and he edges the vote. Bear To Dream and The Nail Gunner are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Evasive Power 2nd Fly The Nest 3rd The Nail Gunner

This can go the way of DORA PENNY, who was a determined winner at Wolverhampton in November when last sighted, on just her fifth all-weather start. David Evans' filly arrives here fresher than most and gets the vote ahead of last week's course (7f) second Baldomero and Laheg, who struck at Wolverhampton just before Christmas. Crimson Sand and Tolstoy are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Dora Penny 2nd Laheg 3rd Baldomero

KARAKOY showed more than enough when beaten less than a length into third on debut at Kempton to suggest that he can get off the mark now. The step up in trip should only aid his cause as a son of Golden Horn and he is preferred to Moush, who performed with credit when third at Southwell last month. Urban Outlook (fifth) has ground to find with Jack Channon's colt from that run but must still enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Karakoy 2nd Moush 3rd Urban Outlook

CHAGALL returned to form when runner-up over C&D last month and he should prove tough to beat if reproducing that level of performance. The consistent Twistaline has been posting some creditable efforts in defeat of late and is feared most with another bold bid expected. Dark Kris will need to put two heavy defeats in handicaps behind him, but the first-time hood is an interesting addition for this keen-going sort and he would rate a leading player if back to his best.
Prediction : 1st Chagall 2nd Twistaline 3rd Dark Kris

BASHFUL BOY proved a different proposition when winning on the step up to 2m for the first time on the Flat here last weekend, and he can make light work of a 4lb penalty now turned out quickly. Carzola strikes as the type who will relish this extra distance after staying on well to place second over 1m5f and she shouldn't be underestimated off only 2lb higher. Mukha Magic runs off the same mark as for his C&D success in January and makes more appeal than Wannabe Brave.
Prediction : 1st Bashful Boy 2nd Carzola 3rd Mukha Magic
