VALE OF BELVOIR was runner up on her debut at Leicester recently behind a hotpot and while there were only three runners the effort should not be underestimated. The Italian Job has plenty of blistering pace and was only just run out of it late on over C&D 31 days ago and a bold bid from the front is expected. No Surpises and Reem Al Fallah both represent connections that do particularly well with their youngsters and any market support for either should be noted.

Desperate stuff in what looks a basic match between Romil Star and COURT OF APPEAL. There was only a neck separating the pair when they were fourth and fifth respectively over 1m4f at this course last month. The latter is rated 15lb superior and while in truth the gap is probably a lot closer, it did signal a somewhat return to form for him. The rest look very moderate.

JUN FAN, Atlantic Viking and Rudi's Pet filled the places in a seller at Musselburgh last month and the selection has since run well in a handicap when racing off a 5lb higher mark than his official rating. He should be able to confirm the form with Dandy Nicholls' grand old stagers. Denonate showed blistering speed at Yarmouth last time and holds Henry Hall on that effort but might not be able to dominate with Borzoi Maestro in the race.

TROJAN FLIGHT picked up well last time on the outside of his field to finish third. That signalled a return to form for the David Chapman sprinter and he might now be ready to strike, especially if getting more cover than last time. Knot In Wood returned to action with a solid effort in the mud at Haydock 13 days ago and should not be far away although the draw has not been that kind. Paris Bell had been in good form prior to a disappointing run last time but perhaps we can put that down to racing too freely on soft ground. Mr Wolf should not be left out of calculations either with the David Barker team hitting top form .

Riodan met a fellow bumper winner when readily outgunned by the promising Alfie Flits in a maiden at Thirsk last month but should be good enough for a minor place at least in this. Dream Champion has been placed in every one of his outings so far and there is no doubting his ability to win one of these but he is becoming increasingly frustrating. DAYOSE bettered her debut running of last year to finish second in a maiden behind a promising sort at Salisbury 22 days ago when the step up in trip seemed to suit her well. This increase of another 2f is expected to help rather than hinder.

Bold Angel Eyes was having her first start for nearly a year when staying on stoutly to finish 4th on her handicap debut at Redcar recently and is entitled to come on plenty for that. Our Shelia finally got into the winners enclosure when successful in a maiden over C&D 13 days ago but whether she is good enough to win a handicap off this mark is open to doubt. Northern Chorus ran his best race to date when second over 5f last time and a bold bid is expected here. However a chance is taken on FINAL TUNE who is capable of better and has been done no favours by unfavourable draws on a few occasions.

Dispol Isle is an ultra game filly who has won three times this year including last time out at Musselburgh. She is sure to be bang there despite climbing the handicap. First Rhapsody is not the most consistent but bounced back to form with a C&D 13 days ago and a 4lb rise is not too harsh but you could not bank on a repeat performance. DREAM ROSE was runner up in a Ayr maiden last time and made the winner pull out all the stops. She is relatively lightly raced and is selected to make all.
