SAVILE'S DELIGHT failed to justify market favouritism on his return to competitive action and first start for Tom Dascombe over 6f at Southwell last month but he set the record straight with an authoritative victory dropped back to the minimum trip last time and he's sure to be buoyed by that first win since June 2005. Dodaa is an obvious threat on the back of his recent Wolverhampton win and the unexposed Elizabeth Spirit is another to consider closely.

WATCHMAKER was really disappointing at Lingfield last month but his two previous seconds at this venue read well and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back to form here. With Hatch A Plan 4lb higher for his recent short-head victory at Wolverhampton, Prime Contender and Blu Manruna are considered the principal dangers to the selection.

Ela Aleka Mou deserves a good deal of respect with her recent Southwell outing likely to have sharpened her up a little, but it wasn't a particularly inspiring performance and she doesn't look one for maximum faith, despite the drop in grade. Waterline Twenty is a useful sort who won a handicap over this C&D in November, but slight preference is for SATYRICON. He's lost his way a little of late but seems to be crying out for a return to this longer trip and he's generally gone well at this venue in the past.

This could go to the penalised PERFECT PRACTICE who ran on in good style when scoring over C&D under the in-form Kirsty Milczarek last week. Napoletano looks well up to winning a race off his current mark and shouldn't be too far away tonight, while Convallaria and David Arbuthnot's Mon Petit Amour are also highly respected on the back of creditable placed efforts.

Kevin Ryan's runners have hit form of late and DISTINCTLY GAME took advantage of a slide in the weights to regain the winning thread at Lingfield last time. Raised only 3lb for that success, he is fancied to follow-up. Hello Man produced a pleasing turn of foot to land the spoils at Wolverhampton last time and he is respected despite his 6lb penalty, while the highly tried She's My Outsider isn't without a chance in this grade back over her preferred trip.

It is hard to see past MIND ALERT who chalked up successive victories when defying a 6lb penalty to run out a smooth victor over C&D last time. If returning here in the same mood tonight, a further penalty isn't expected to be enough to stop him and he should be able to account for Tilsworth Charlie and Mulberry Lad.

The step up to 2m isn't expected to prove too much of a problem for recent course winner (dead-heat) Sir Haydn who tasted success over hurdles at this trip in November. He is respected but preference is for the ultra-consistent CAPITALISE who produced another good display when finishing second at Wolverhampton last time. He has been given a every chance by the handicapper and is taken to gain a deserved success here. Recent C&D third Haatmey rates next best.
