GOLDEN GAL is officially 2lb well in following last week's C&D second and if first-time cheekpieces can help eke out more, she could go one better. Most of Street Life's best form has come on an artificial surface, but he has been given a chance by the handicapper judged on last season's turf form. Sherdil drops in class and should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Golden Gal 2nd Street Life 3rd Sherdil

With little form in the book it's hard to form a strong opinion, though the market can guide as to what is expected. The vote, however, goes to NOO POINT. A son of the classy sprinter Blue Point, he fetched 130,000 pounds at last month's Goffs Breeze-Up sales. The Archie Watson stable have made a fine start to the year with their juveniles and this could present them with another opportunity to record yet more success. Invincible Royale and Flaccianello merit consideration, while White Christmas appeals most of those with experience.
Prediction : 1st Noo Point 2nd Invincible Royale 3rd Flaccianello

SCOTTISH DANCER made amends when winning at Chester six days ago, having found one too strong earlier that month, and Keith Dalgleish's charge appeals as the one to beat under a 5lb penalty. Turner Girl continues to run well in defeat and might improve for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while Lord Torranaga, whose handicap mark has been in decline recently, cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Scottish Dancer 2nd Turner Girl 3rd Lord Torranaga

Mr Beaufort was a good second over 5f at Ayr last time by just half a length and appears primed to offer another bold bid, but preference is for GLORY FIGHTER. Paul Midgley's runner wasn't beaten far when third over 5f at Ripon and dropped 2lb in the ratings, along with the application of first-time cheekpieces, he looks to have every chance. Blazing Hot heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Glory Fighter 2nd Mr Beaufort 3rd Blazing Hot

EAGLE EYED FREDDIE is clear of these on ratings and he appears to have a leading chance in this field. Michael Appleby's charge is having his first run over 7f since 2020 and he shaped as if that drop in trip could work the oracle when last at Chelmsford on his latest start. Written Broadcast is likely to be the biggest danger after scoring over 7f at Wolverhampton last time so he commands respect, while How Bizarre looks set for third.
Prediction : 1st Eagle Eyed Freddie 2nd Written Broadcast 3rd How Bizarre

There was plenty of promise to be taken from ELUSIVE ANGEL's debut second at Kempton last month and a similar level of performance on this turf debut could suffice. Northcliff didn't enjoy the best of passages in a handicap at York recently and he isn't taken lightly now returned to maiden company. Talha was unable to justify favouritism last time at Ripon, but it's too soon to be writing off Richard Fahey's inmate.
Prediction : 1st Elusive Angel 2nd Northcliff 3rd Talha

PROSPECT returned to form when posting a second-placed finish at Thirsk recently and he looks the one to beat running off the same mark in this contest. Foreseeable Future failed to capitalise off a generous-looking rating at Redcar on Tuesday, but he can't be ruled out here before his revised mark kicks in. Stalingrad has tumbled in the weights and shouldn't be underestimated now dropped back to 6f.
Prediction : 1st Prospect 2nd Foreseeable Future 3rd Stalingrad
