TELEPATHIC won a similar race over this C&D on his last visit here early last month and can be fancied to regain the winning thread with the same jockey back in the irons and underfoot conditions once again in his favour. Blueberry Rhyme and Insubordinate finished fourth and fifth behind the selection last month and should make their presence felt once again.

Sir Mark Prescott's team have hit form recently and there's every chance he has CONFIDENTIAL LADY, a half-sister to 7f three-year-old winner Crown Counsel, well forward for her racecourse debut. Howard Johnson had a juvenile winner last week and his Original Source makes appeal on his debut, while Mark Johnston's Think Lucky cannot be ruled out on his first public foray.

PRINCE DAYJUR enjoyed a fruitful spell on the all-weather during the winter and his return to turf following an absence of 118 days shouldn't be too much of a worry as he's won off a lengthy break before. Jordans Spark takes a drop in class and could be on the premises, while Dandy Nicholls' yard are knocking in the winners at present and Golden Spectrum should give a good account.

Eboracum ended last season with a hat-trick of victories at around a mile on rain-softened ground and must enter calculations as she makes her return to the fray, while Dispol Veleta may be a shade high in the ratings at present, but can't be overlooked. Futoo carries a 6lb penalty for a recent success over 1m1f here and is another to consider, while MEZUZAH also scored over the same C&D recently, but looks better value for his penalty having sluiced in by 10 lengths and still remains on a useful mark.

Alphecca is the pick at the weights, but has failed to sparkle over hurdles since joining current connections and may not be able to take advatage here. BARKING MAD is the next in line ratings-wise and could prove hard to catch if allowed to poach an early lead. Tomasino won a similar race at Carlisle last month and could be the pick of the remainder.

MILLENNIUM HALL has gained all four of his victories at this track and Peter Monteith's course specialist is fancied to defy a 6lb penalty for his recent 1m5f success. Bramantino finished ahead of Dance To My Tune and the selection at Newcastle early last month and looks a real threat, while Bendarshaan ran well behind Grampian at Thirsk last time and cannot be ruled out.

VIEWFORTH hasn't won since August 2003 and is not a particularly strong choice, but he's on a good mark, is in decent form, and appears to be drawn on the best side. Ice Planet is drawn in the middle, but is probably still capable of further improvement and can't be overlooked, while Aahgowangowan won readily at Thirsk last week and should make an impact if she's not compromised by her low-numbered berth.
