Having being thrown in at the deep end in the Group 2 Norfolk and July Stakes last summer, Diamond Johnny G was expected to pick up a race early on this year but has failed to do so in five attempts since his return to action. However, he again only found one too good on his turf return at Nottingham on Tuesday and should be in the firing line today along with Papageno who has been running well in defeat in all-weather handicaps in recent months. The one to follow, however, could be ITWASONLYAKISS who looked a speedy sort in her juvenile campaign, especially when only going down by a head in a hot Sandown maiden. She returned from a nine-month break over 6f at Pontefract last week and showed plenty of pace before fading badly from 2f out. That should have blown away the cobwebs and she'll relish the return to the minimum trip.
Itwasonlyakiss holds sway here judged on her 2-y-o form, but she was beaten a long way on her return from a 9-month absence recently and can't be supported with total confidence after that. Suzy Alexander is a well-bred filly and took a big step forward last time, so she gets a narrow vote over Diamond Johnny G.
Successful twice at 7f on good to soft ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 7-2 at Wolverhampton over 7f on her latest outing earlier this month, beating A Pocketful Of Rye by 1 1/4l. Carries a 6lb penalty today for that success. Has also won at Folkestone this season.

Catherines Call arrives here on the back of a double in sellers (one over C&D) but this is a tougher assignment and she has no margin for error under top weight. Katy's Secret has shown ability in three all-weather outings and looks feasibly treated on her handicap bow so could run a big race if taking to turf, but the safer option appears to be POSY FOSSIL. The Stuart Williams-trained filly gained reward for two good efforts in defeat when opening her account in good style over 6f at Kempton when last seen in February. A 5lb rise looks more than fair with the possibility for further progress to come and she proved she can handle quick turf conditions last year.
Katy's Secret has shaped well on 2 of her 3 starts to date and has plenty going for her on this handicap debut, with Frankie Dettori booked and a decent draw in 3. Hat-trick hopeful Catherines Call and recent Kempton third Show Willing could give her most to do.
Winner of six races at 6f on good to firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 2 3/4l behind Sunrise Safari when sixth of 11 at 4-6fav on his latest outing at Leicester over 6f (good to firm) earlier this month. Has won at Windsor and Lingfield this season.

Has won 12 races from 5f to 7f on ground varying from firm to soft and on the all-weather. A winner at 5-1 at Catterick over 6f (good to firm) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Mr Wolf by 1/2l. Has also won at Pontefract this season.

Although Another Try is likely to give a good account, CORNUS and Beat The Bell look like the ones to concentrate on here. The latter escapes a penalty for his comfortable victory in an apprentice handicap at Windsor last week and will take some stopping if in the same mood today, but that is no guarantee after he failed to land the odds at Leicester on Saturday and the preference is for Alan McCabe's representative. He confirmed superiority over Mr Wolf to complete a double over this trip at Catterick last week and, off only a 2lb higher mark than his last success and with conditions to suit again, he can make the most of the weight he receives from his rivals today.
Beat The Bell is the one to beat judged on his emphatic Windsor win 10 days ago. Admittedly, he fizzled out rather disappointingly at Leicester at the weekend, but he's worth another chance here with Sophie Doyle back in the plate. Cornus is on a hat-trick and still well treated, but this track might not suit his hold-up style so well.
Successful at 7f and 1m on heavy ground and on the all-weather. Finished 2 3/4l behind Copperwood when fifth of 11 at 7-2 on his latest outing at Lingfield over 7f earlier this month.

Winner of six races from 5f to 6f on ground varying from firm to good to soft and on the all-weather. Won on her latest outing when 15-8jt-fav here over 5f (good to firm) earlier this month, beating Tom Folan by 1 1/2l. Has won 3 times this season.

Bill Turner has his string in fine form at present and has another strong hand here with ANJOMARBA, who made all with something to spare in this grade over 5f last week. The remainder of his five career wins came over 6f so the step back up in trip is no concern and he comes out best on official official ratings. The main danger appears to be Lastkingofscotland, a comfortable scorer in selling company on Lingfield's polytrack last month but yet to tackle quick turf conditions, while Dream Express has claims on his recent all-weather form.
Lastkingofscotland has never raced over as short as 6f before, but he comes into this in consistent form and will take some pegging back if having the speed to adopt his customary front-running role. Anjomarba rates the main danger, with Bold Ring needing to bounce back from a couple of lacklustre displays.

Decency left her maiden form behind when making a successful handicap bow over this trip at Kempton latest and there could be more to come, which may also be the case with MOTTY'S GIFT who has improved since the application of a visor and also opened his account over 7f at Kempton earlier this month. He represents the in-form Walter Swinburn team and is taken to defy a 4lb rise in the handicap. Tregony Bridge finished 1 1/2 lengths behind the selection latest but can close the deficit on these revised terms, while Tamarind Hill wasn't beaten far into third in a similar event at Catterick recently and should make his presence felt again.
Last-time-out winners Decency and Motty's Gift are both likely to go well, but it may be worth chancing the well-bred Cool Kitten on her handicap bow. William Buick partnered a well-backed winner for the yard earlier in the month and it could be significant that he's been booked to ride this one.

Well Overdue cost 52,000 euros and warrants respect on his long overdue first racecourse start, but it may be best to concentrate on previous experience. Round Won improved with each of his three outings last year, ending the campaign with a bronze medal in a 7f maiden at Lingfield, and could progress further now upped in trip. However, SWISH DISH has the benefit of a recent run and she gets the nod. Richard Hannon's inmate improved significantly on her juvenile form when third in a hot Newbury maiden over this trip earlier this month and that outing is entitled to have brought her on again.
Round Won looked more a 6f/7f horse at 2 yrs, so recent Newbury third Swish Dish makes most appeal of the pair to have raced and is likely to be too strong for the newcomers unless the market speaks in their favour.
Winner of six races from 1m to 1m 2f on good to firm and soft ground and on the all-weather. Third of 13 behind Tudor Key beaten 1/2l at 8-1 on his latest outing at Windsor over 1m (good) earlier this month.

Gary Moore has won two of the last five runnings of this race and the in-form handler can take the prize again today with CHARLIE SMIRKE. The penny has dropped recently and the selection made it two wins from his last three starts over 1m at Lingfield latest. The 4-y-o races off a 4lb lower mark as he reverts to turf this afternoon and will be very tough to beat if transferring his recent all-weather form to grass. Mr Hichens has gone well on both starts since landing a Wolverhampton double last month and looks the biggest threat to selection as Diamond Twister would prefer further.
Charlie Smirke's handful of turf efforts thus far are hardly inspiring, but he's really got his act together on the AW of late and may be worth another chance given his mark. Some of his rivals don't always look in love with the game, but Mr Hichens and Diamond Twister do at least come into this on the back of a good run.
