DIAMAND DE VINDECY posted a personal best on the Flat when he won over 2m2f at Pontefract on his penultimate start. Given he wasn't beaten far when attempting to make all off this mark at Ripon most recently, the Robert Bevis-trained six-year-old is well worth another chance. The Craftymaster is dangerous to underestimate, while The Crafty Mole is respected back up in distance now he has a recent start under his belt.

Charlie Appleby sends out two impeccably-bred colts and on jockey bookings TIME TO TURN looks to be the pick. However, Maximized, a 720,000 pounds breeze-up purchase, is bred to be effective as a sprinter and there is also plenty to like based on his potential. Boiling Over and Tuwajeri just a couple of other notable debutants in what should be an informative race.

From a workable mark of just 68, CAPTAIN PARMA is at the top end of the ratings band and has a big chance of successfully launching his handicap career. Based on what he has shown in three starts on the all-weather, the son of Iffraaj could take all the beating if he handles the switch to turf. Similar comments apply to Volendam, whose Newcastle form is compelling, while the hat-trick seeking Trust Sergei is also feared despite going up 4lb for his latest success.

Blue Day had Duran (second) behind when coming through the field to run out an impressive winner at Ascot last month, but this represents a step up in grade. With that in mind, HARVANNA gets the nod. Michael Appleby's filly was left with plenty to do from the rear when hitting the woodwork at Wolverhampton in December and is just 1lb higher. With a smoother run this time around, she could be one to beat.

William Buick opts for SPIRITED STYLE of the Godolphin duo after her very promising runner-up effort on debut at Ascot earlier in the month. The daughter of Sea The Stars could have any amount of improvement to come and may prove tough to beat. Her stable companion Silent Love showed plenty of ability when third on her introduction at Newmarket and has to be respected, along with Pearla.

WOROODD could be Pattern-level filly in the making going by her impressive success at Thirsk last time out, and she can take another step forward by scoring under a 7lb penalty on this occasion. A promising fourth on her first start for Ollie Sangster at Southwell last month, Cradle Of Love must enter calculations, as well as Thaisa, who is best judged on her debut third at Kempton in November.

A promising third behind a pair of subsequent winners on his return at Newmarket last month, ORGAN is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming. Martyn Meade's charge gets the vote ahead of the unexposed handicap-debutant Suhub, who was a creditable second over 1m at Kempton when last in action. Unlucky not to have got off the mark thus far, High On Hope may also have a say in proceedings.
