El Torbellino is slipping back down to a fair mark, likewise Kathleen Frances, while hurdles winner Reyamour is interesting on her handicap debut after opening her Flat account at the fifth time of asking when returning to the level in a 1m2f Salisbury maiden last month. Sugar Hiccup picked up a silver medal on her reappearance at Haydock recently, while ELIZABETH COFFEE ran on well for a good third in a similar C&D event off this mark last time out and, with a much better draw this time, she may be worth another chance.
Sugar Hiccup will be happier back at this longer trip and can provide her owner with yet another winner at this track. Kathleen Frances and El Torbellino could provide the stiffest resistance.

With the David Simcock yard in flying form, it could pay to side with PINTURA. After accounting for the reopposing Imperial Djay (third), Kyllachy Star (fourth) and Dubai Dynamo (fifth) when scoring over C&D last month, he had to settle for fourth behind Imperial Djay when dropped to 7f here last time, but he tackles that rival on 4lb better terms today and will relish the step back up in trip, as well as his plum draw. Despite seemingly not handling the idiosyncrasies of Epsom too cleverly, Van Ellis stayed on well for second in a good 7f handicap on Oaks day and the extra yardage here should help Mark Johnston's charge.
Fiercely competitive fare and plenty of possibles. Ruth Carr look to have a strong hand with Dubai Dynamo and Imperial Djay, the former marginally preferred. Kyllachy Star may prove best of the rest.
He has won three times at 1m 2f on good to firm and good to soft ground. Finished 10l behind Jet Away when fifth of 6 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Goodwood over 1m 2f (good) last month.

Mark Johnston and Joe Fanning teamed up to land this race last year with Jutland and they bid for a repeat today with LICENCE TO TILL, who was beaten less than two lengths off this mark in a red-hot handicap at Epsom last week. An impressive winner at Haydock last month, he looks the value call against Stand To Reason, who narrowly missed out on a hat-trick over C&D off a 4lb lower mark latest and remains open to further progress after only six starts. Memory Cloth will appreciate the drop in class after his Listed third at Windsor.
Stand To Reason remains open to improvement, is fully effective under the conditions and looks to have plenty going for him. Memory Cloth might have more to come as well and his stamina is worth chancing, while Area Fifty One should be sharper with his York reappearance behind him.

Limit Up and Botanic Garden were separated by three-quarters of a length when second and fourth respectively in a 6f Ripon maiden late last month and they clearly set the form here, especially with the third from that race subsequently opening her account. They will dominate the betting, however, and there could be some value in taking them on with CAPO ROSSO, who showed plenty of speed on debut before tiring late on at Musselburgh. That experience will have done him plenty of good and his stable tends to do well at this venue.
Our Diane shaped with plenty of promise in a good race at Beverley on her debut and she can put that experience to good use this time. Botanic Garden and Limit Up are a couple of obvious dangers.

Lockantanks would take some stopping if reproducing his winter all-weather form but he has something to prove on turf, unlike JUNGLE BAY, who confirmed his wellbeing with a handicap victory at Wolverhampton last month and scored over this C&D last summer. Jane Chapple-Hyam's five-year-old gets the nod ahead of admirable veteran Zomerlust, who bids for a plating hat-trick after landing a seller and claimer at Redcar and looks sure to run another big race.
Kingswinford is well-in at the weights and is taken to enhance his good record at the track. Flameoftheforest and Jungle Bay look best of the rest.

There was plenty to like about SONKO's second to Ballesteros over C&D last month, when she set a strong pace before being reeled in by Brian Meehan's useful gelding. This sharp track really suits Tim Pitt's filly and, off an unchanged mark, she can make the most of this drop in grade. Powerful Wind was well beaten behind the selection that day but thanks to a subsequent York success, he reopposes on 4lb worse terms and bigger threats may be posed by Signifer and Royal Reyah, both of whom have been knocking on the door this term.
Sonko showed plenty of dash when only worn down close home here last month and can gain compensation. Royal Reyah looks the main danger, although Powerful Wind should be involved if the ground doesn't get too bad.

An open finale, in which SANGAR and Ambala must be given sound claims on the back of good efforts in defeat at Carlisle and Newbury respectively. Slight preference is for the former given that he drops in class today, but serious consideration must also be given to Isdaal, a winner over 1m4f at Kempton last time out, and Favorite Girl, who has been in good heart at Southwell.
Ambala is still unexposed and is taken to confirm the promise of her Newbury reappearance. Mount Abora and Favorite Girl look best of the rest.
