It might have taken ULTRAMARINE 21 attempts to open his account, but the son of Zoffany soon doubled that tally. David Evans' charge remains competitively treated judged on past exploits, so a 3lb rise for last month's Wolverhampton victory should not prevent him from mounting another stern challenge. First-time blinkers could elicit some improvement from Bowood, who continues to run well in defeat. Conquest Of Power tackles 7f for the first time and that looks a positive move.
Prediction : 1st Ultramarine 2nd Bowood 3rd Conquest Of Power

Having bumped into the classy Dancing Gemini at Newbury in August, it was perhaps a little disappointing that FIRE DEMON was unable to score over 7f here a few weeks later. However, given that Andrew Balding's colt hasn't been able to see out the longer trip, the drop to 6f might be ideal. Tourist is closely matched with the selection on official ratings so he is expected to be the main danger. Thunder Flow is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Fire Demon 2nd Tourist 3rd Thunder Flow

A C&D winner on his debut, Lessay is expected to prove popular under the penalty, but a chance can be taken on ROGUE RAIDER. Tom Clover has a solid record with three-year-olds on the all-weather in recent times and his newcomer, a well-related son of More Than Ready, might not have to be anything too far out of the ordinary. Persian Bliss will need monitoring in the betting ahead of his first start, and Lewis Barnes should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Raider 2nd Lessay 3rd Persian Bliss

TOP SECRET ran out a comfortable winner on his latest C&D outing just before Christmas and the seven-year-old, who remains lightly raced on the all-weather, could have more to offer, despite a 6lb rise. Talis Evolvere chased home the selection on that occasion and the consistent performer is likely to be in the mix once again. Court Of Session and Aratus are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Top Secret 2nd Talis Evolvere 3rd Court Of Session

BRAZEN IDOL has run with credit in a couple of recent efforts at Wolverhampton and the return to this venue, where he scored on his only prior visit in September 2022, may help him back to winning ways. Tyger Bay went up 4lb for his latest success at Wolverhampton, with the selection perhaps needing the run when fading into fourth, and has to enter calculations. Bosh, Aljari and Expert Agent complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Brazen Idol 2nd Tyger Bay 3rd Bosh

RED FLYER was just under four lengths clear of the third when runner-up over 1m4f here in October and has been put up 3lb for that effort. The son of Free Eagle shouldn't have any issues with the return to this sort of trip and could go one better. The main danger might be Citizen General, who wasn't beaten far into fourth over C&D last month and should go well off the same mark. Southwell winner Sarsons Risk is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Red Flyer 2nd Citizen General 3rd Sarsons Risk

LATEST EDITION took a fierce hold but still managed to finish fourth over this trip at Southwell, and she has been left on the same mark. The daughter of Ribchester goes in first-time cheekpieces, which could spark the improvement needed for her to break through. Trusty Scout didn't get the best of luck when third at Wolverhampton and could get closer with a clearer passage off the same rating. Distinction is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Latest Edition 2nd Trusty Scout 3rd Distinction
