This is competitive and only a tentative vote can be afforded to MELISSA HONEY, with that in mind. The Showcasing filly has yet to open her account, but there have been encouraging signs of late including when third at Leicester most recently. She should appreciate the return to sprinting, and Daniel Tudhope is an interesting jockey booking. Moonhall Lass and Run This Way were both beaten favourites when bidding for a hat-trick last time but remain of interest, as does Leicester winner Instant Bond and Hurstwood.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Karl Burke has been amongst the winners of late and his representative MET BALL could provide him with more success. The chestnut fetched 300,000gns in October and has plenty to recommend her on paper, not least because she holds a Group 2 entry at the Curragh later this month. Rhodes Runner let favourite-backers down at Salisbury, but that experience won't have been lost on her and she can take a step forward upped in trip. Ashina is also noted.

In the presence of a number of battle-hardened handicappers, ROSE OF HONOUR can prove that she's a cut above. James Tate's filly won on her debut at Kempton before following up at Southwell, and showed an opening mark of 88 was within range when maintaining her unbeaten record over 6f here last month. The four-year-old is 3lb higher now, but she's still open to bags of improvement and can reap the benefits of that recent spin. Toca Madera drops in class having finished a creditable third at York and edges out Naana's Sparkle as next best.

Gaelic Approach is really progressive and commands the utmost respect for Charlie Johnston. However, he might be forced to settle for a supporting role if STUDY OF WORDS has come forward for his comeback run at Newmarket. Well fancied that day, he's taken to reward those punters who keep the faith, with the step up in trip likely to suit. Keep an eye on Killer Whale too.

SHIPBOURNE looks the way to go. An impressive winner on debut last year at Newbury, things didn't go to plan at Kempton under a penalty in December but he's been given plenty of time to get over that and strengthen up, and the Frankel colt remains a nice prospect for this season and beyond. Flight Control and English Time are others to bear in mind.

Preference is for the unexposed MONTEZIN, who put in a promising display when fourth in a competitive event at York a few weeks ago. He sports first-time cheekpieces and might be on offer at generous odds. Others to note are Arctic Dawn, Akkadian Thunder and Monsieur Bondy. The former is feared most as he was a bit of an eye-catcher when third on his Newmarket return.

MAYO COUNTY had plenty in hand when winning over 7f at Redcar almost two weeks ago and Julie Camacho's mare sets the standard, despite a 6lb rise. Bizarre Law accounted for a subsequent winner when scoring narrowly over C&D last time and he is an obvious threat to the selection. The shortlist is completed by Magic Music, Thapa VC and Finn Ironside.
