Foaled 22 Apr. Dam a lightly raced maiden. Finished 6l behind Poetic Dancer when fifth of 15 at 2-1fav on her racecourse debut at Newbury over 6f (good to firm) last month.
WINTER HILL was by no means disgraced on debut at Newbury last month after running into trouble a furlong out. She will have come on for that experience and with the Tom Dascombe yard bang in form, she could go very close here. The well-bred Darling Lexi, a daughter of Dylan Thomas, could be the subject of market support for Richard Fahey and Paul Hanagan and Nearly A Gift will have learned a lot from her debut effort when fifth behind Gabrial who has since come out to frank that form at Beverley.
Winter Hill proved an expensive flop on her debut at Newbury, but there were excuses and it looked significant that she was sent off so short in the market. She can improve with the benefit of that run behind her and get the better of interesting newcomer Darling Lexi and Nearly A Gift.
Winner of five races from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft. Finished 3 1/2l behind Majuro when fourth of 12 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Catterick over 7f (good) last month.

A winner at 6f on good to firm ground, but that win was over two years ago. Beaten 19l behind Charles Parnell at 100-1 when 12th of 14 on her latest outing at Ayr over 6f (good to soft) in October last year.

CARRIE'S MAGIC looks well treated here and represents a model of consistency for the David Barron yard. This 6f trip looks ideal and she holds serious claims stepping down in class. Of Linda Perratt's trio, Sweet Cheeks could be dangerous if she has overcome the problem that has kept her off the track for almost a year. Elsewhere Dark Lane may well bounce back to his best but he would need to improve and reproduce the form that saw him win at Windsor in early April.
The reliable Carrie's Magic is selected, though Dark Lane will be dangerous if the blinkers spark some improvement.
He has won three times at 5f on heavy ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 10l behind Desert Strike at 12-1 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Wolverhampton over 5f in March.

Blues Jazz seemed to need every yard of the 6f last time out at this track when he recorded his first career win and having been momentarily outpaced on that occasion, the Ian Semple representative may need further than 5f. SHARP BULLET gets the nod after going down by just a nose on Monday at Carlisle. He will certainly be suited by any ease in the ground and if he reproduces his recent effort he will go close. Tournedos is sent out under a penalty after he won readily on Monday and could be one to watch for in-form handler Ruth Carr.
Tournedos is still well handicapped and worth siding with in a weak race while his yard remain in great form, but Blues Jazz shouldn't be underestimated and Sharp Bullet is running well enough to ask some questions too.
Winner of five races from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to soft. Beaten 4l behind Ginger Ted at 25-1 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Ayr over 5f (good to soft) last month.

Klynch has gone up considerably in the weights for his three successive wins in May and the Ruth Carr representative must overcome a 12lb penalty here to land the four-timer. INGLEBY ARCH is the selection as he seems to have found his feet again this year over 6f at Southwell. David Barron's eight-year-old does have form when there has been ease in the ground, most notably at Ayr last October. Elsewhere, Hellbender looks to be improving with every run this term and could be a danger to the principals.
Ingleby Arch and Hellbender are both well treated on turf given earlier exploits on AW, but there's no reason to oppose the thriving Klynch in his current mood.
She has won three times from 7f to 1m on good to firm and good ground. Third of 13 behind Point North beaten 1 3/4l at 16-1 on her latest outing at Kempton over 1m last month.

ASKAUD looks well treated here and gets weight-for-age against the older fillies and mares. The daughter of Iffraaj may appreciate the slight drop back in trip after a poor run at Goodwood and if patiently ridden, she has serious claims on the form of her second to Beatrice Aurore. Gobama ran well on the all-weather at Kempton when she lost out on second close home and, taking into account her two runs at Newbury and York last term on good ground, she may well figure closely here. At a price, Oceanway could be the each-way value in the race for Mark Johnston.
Gobama ended 2010 below form in listed races, but her latest third at Kempton behind one who was on a particularly good mark reads very well ahead of a return to her favoured surface and she can make the long journey from Lambourn worthwhile. Askaud and Frances Stuart can fill the places.
Successful at 1m and 1m 3f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 4 1/2l behind Caravan Rolls On when fifth of 9 at 7-2 on his latest outing at Leicester over 1m 4f (good to firm) last month.

Fire Fighter has not been seen since October last year and having struggled as two year-old, he may need the run over this much longer distance. URBAN KODE continues to race consistently for connections and looks ready to win again after a more than creditable return to the turf at Nottingham on Sunday. Countrywide Flame beat Silver Tigress over this C&D at the beginning of May and could be involved when it matters most.
Countrywide Flame and Silver Tigress were first and second over C&D last month, and there's little to choose between them on revised terms, but both are vulnerable to an improver, and the well-bred Fire Fighter very much fits the bill.
He has won three times from 7f to 1m 4f on good to firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 1 1/4l by King Kurt when second of 7 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Catterick over 1m 4f (good to firm) last month.

This looks an obvious opportunity for POKFULHAM to get his head in front for trainer Jim Goldie after a relatively successful season over hurdles. He will enjoy the ground and will be fit and ready off a similar mark to his last win on the Flat at Ayr in September 2009. Houston Dynimo could be the horse to cause the selection most problems as he seems to want every yard of the trip, with stamina being his forte. Casino Night has performed consistently without winning this season and could go close if her market rivals under perform.
Pokfulham put in a moody display in the Swinton Hurdle recently, but he has been an improved performer over hurdles in general this year and is worth siding with over a longer trip on his Flat return. Houston Dynimo is the obvious danger, though Casino Night should also figure if his stamina holds out.
