Lyndsanda (seventh), Vitarli (second) and Chat Up Line (fifth) met each other at Redcar on their racecourse debuts. The former was well supported, but, having lost a shoe heading down to post, she failed to live up to market expectations. It would be no surprise were she to post an improved effort here, however, the vote goes to ANFAAL. Tom Clover's charge made a promising debut at Kempton earlier this month, finishing third, and the Dark Angel filly is fancied to make an immediate impact now switched to the turf.
Prediction : 1st Anfaal 2nd Lyndsanda 3rd Vitarli

VENTURA FLAME was no match for an impressive winner when finishing second over C&D eight days ago, but she remains on a fair mark and could go one better down in class. The six-year-old had Dandy Dinmont (third) in behind that day and he's another who looks set to go well. The relatively unexposed Le Beau Garcon has been eased in the handicap and should not be underestimated, while Beattie Is Back merits respect too.
Prediction : 1st Ventura Flame 2nd Dandy Dinmont 3rd Le Beau Garcon

William Haggas sends just the one up from his Newmarket base in the form of SEA FLAWLESS, and she would appear to hold leading claims. The Sea The Stars filly made a striking debut when winning at Newcastle in February and she lost nothing in defeat when finishing second to the Andrew Balding-trained Old Harrovian last time. The switch to turf should be in her favour and she can repel the likely challenge of Liseo. Umax defied a lengthy absence to finish a good third at Kempton 78 days ago and he remains open to further improvement.
Prediction : 1st Sea Flawless 2nd Liseo 3rd Umax

Phoenix Fire shed his maiden tag in fine style when last seen in November, but he will face very different conditions this time which could catch him out on his handicap debut. Therefore, preference is for the Charlie Johnston-trained IN THESE SHOES, who was sent off a warm favourite at Newmarket in October last year. The daughter of Starspangledbanner was dropped 1lb for that effort and looks set to go very close. Honour Your Dreams is an interesting contender stepping up in distance.
Prediction : 1st In These Shoes 2nd Phoenix Fire 3rd Honour Your Dreams

A chance can be taken on CROWN PRINCESS, who ran into the places at this track when last seen in September off a 1lb higher mark. The five-year-old mare has undergone a wind operation since and is now 1lb lower than her last winning rating. Pillar Of Hope is a player now 2lb lower for a solid fifth at Newcastle last time, while last-time-out winner Dogged also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Crown Princess 2nd Pillar Of Hope 3rd Dogged

Slow starts have blighted some of BEARWITH's most recent performances but he still has the ability to be a key player at this level and may be worth chancing on his return to turf. He's fared well with a handy draw and notably was successful the only previous time he was partnered with Ben Curtis in the saddle. Contrast has form that ties in with the selection and is feared most, while Dandy's Angel and Strangerontheshore are also considered.
Prediction : 1st Bearwith 2nd Contrast 3rd Dandys Angel

17:08 Beverley

Papa Ricco (winner) undoubtedly improved for the step up in trip when he landed a similar race at Nottingham 22 days ago and warrants respect despite lining up off 6lb higher. However, the revised terms give CROSSTITCH (fourth) a reasonably strong chance of reversing the form and he edges the vote of confidence with this stiffer finish potentially in his favour. Breathtaker, Future Times and Eyeofthebeholder all try headgear for the first time and merit some respect.
Prediction : 1st Crosstitch 2nd Papa Ricco 3rd Breathtaker
