TROPICAL BACHELOR and Serena Brotherton teamed up to great effect over 1m4f at Ripon last time, winning by five lengths, and a 7lb rise may not be enough to anchor the deadly duo if they can repeat that performance. Arabian Beauty is sure to have plenty of supporters representing a top stable and she has the sexiest profile, unexposed and much improved on her handicap debut latest, while runaway Beverley scorer Unex Michelangelo and the consistent Northside Prince are other respected players.

Lady Charlie is best treated at these weights but has questions to answer after only beating one rival home in a 9-runner maiden at Brighton last month, so FROSTY TIMES is the preferred choice. Richard Fahey's charge shaped with much more promise when upped to this trip on his handicap debut at Musselburgh last week (third) and a similar performance will see him go very close in this lesser event. Southern raider Chilworth Bells also has a squeak.

Izzthatright has done nothing but improve in five starts thus far and looks all set to run his usual honest race, while handicap debutant Kayo Koko is the most interesting runner in the line-up having readily won her maiden first time out over C&D. The vote, however, goes to another handicap debutant in MUTAFARREJ. The Paco Boy colt has improved in each of his three maiden appearances, the latest sixth-placed finish in a class 2 event at Goodwood looking particularly strong form, and he potentially looks a fair bit better than this opening mark of 77.

MISS CRYSTAL is a rare Catterick runner for Charlie Hills and gets the nod. The Montjeu filly stepped up on her promising debut performance when third behind subsequent handicap winner Tiger Lilly in a Thirsk maiden latest and further improvement could see her open her account at the third time of asking. New Tarabela has earned himself a rating of 79 with a number of solid placed efforts but he is beginning to run out of chances, while Georgian Firebird and Bulas Belle bring some promising NH form to the table.

PERFECT WORDS impressively made every yard of the running in a similar C&D race last time and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop him winning again if arriving in similar mood. Spring Bird and Lord Buffhead also arrive here on the back of victories and warrant respect, but Showtime Star rates the biggest threat lining up off the same mark as when runner-up in a 6f course event recently (due to go up 4lb in the future).

It could pay to side with LA HAVRESE, who showed a great attitude when landing a similar C&D event ten days ago and remains open to plenty of further improvement with only five starts under her belt. She gets the vote to defy a 6lb rise and complete the double, possibly at the main expense of Secret City, who is up 7lb for his impressive victory at Ayr last month. Gaelic Wizard backed up his Southwell claiming success with a solid third-placed finish over track and trip latest and he could finish in the mix again.
