Cyclonite lost little in defeat when runner-up behind a potentially useful sort at Chelmsford and he warrants the utmost respect on his nursery bow. That said, LARCHILL LASS edges preference. Karl Burke's filly shaped with more promise than the bare result suggests when eighth in the Super Sprint at Newbury and should relish stepping back up to 6f for her own handicap debut. East Tyrone was a game winner at York last month and, gelded since, he completes the shortlist off 5lb higher.

ITSALLABOUTUS didn't cut much ice on his debut at Ripon, but he left that effort behind when coming from off the pace to finish a staying-on third at Pontefract and gets the vote to open his account at the third time of asking. Think Of A Name was last seen finishing runner-up behind a smart colt at Newbury and he is feared most. Northern Ticker ran with credit when third at Carlisle on his introduction and he is also shortlist material.

This looks a good opportunity for HETTIE JACK to put her experience to good use. George Scott's filly performed with plenty of credit when a running-on third over the minimum trip at Lingfield recently and, tackling 6f for the first time, she may prove tough to stop. Oolong Poobong posted a promising debut effort when second at Haydock and can also go well, while better can be expected from Silver Arrow, who was sixth at Newbury on his first start.

SOLID SILVER put her disappointing handicap debut well behind her when she sported first-time blinkers at Kempton to fill the runner-up spot. The daughter of Kendargent remains on the same mark and that makes her the one to beat. Gastronomy was victorious over 1m6f at Redcar on his latest outing and it would be no surprise to see him get into contention again. Haveyoumissedme can pick up any pieces after his fourth at Hamilton.

ANGELICA CATALANI was far from disgraced when third in a class 6 handicap over 1m4f at Ripon and she takes a drop into these calmer waters. The daughter of Mondialiste should have no issues with the step back in trip and is taken to break her duck. Top Flight Century finished a respectable fourth at this level at Lingfield on his latest outing and has to be considered in first-time cheekpieces, while Tiberio Force is another to note.

MUSICAL DIVA has put in solid efforts the last twice, including when second over track and trip last week, and she goes off the same mark. David O'Meara's three-year-old competes at the same level and could prove hard to beat. Exponential was only denied by a neck at Nottingham on her latest outing and can have a say again off a 1lb higher rating, while Lady Of The Garr is another to watch out for.

RATAFIA has won two of his six previous starts at this venue and holds a major chance of adding a further victory to the portfolio as he reverts to Tapeta off just 1lb above his last winning mark. Jesmond Dawn has been in good form of late and rates the chief threat to the selection, although Saisons D'Or is a three-time C&D winner who cannot be ruled out in this company.

Everything came together nicely for Flavius Titus at Pontefract last weekend but while he commands respect dropping to a classified event, he has never won back-to-back races before and, at the age of nine, looks vulnerable to younger legs. With that in mind and having won a similar race on his penultimate start, JAMIE'S CHOICE appears a more logical choice on this occasion. Arlington and Sydney Bay are a couple more to consider.
