CHINA IN YOUR HAND finished a creditable third in a decent maiden at Doncaster despite running green. The daughter of Cracksman will be a lot wiser for this and a bold bid looks assured from Charlie Fellowes' filly. Seventh at Doncaster, Caravel showed some ability in the early stages and she could finish a lot closer to the selection this time, while Necromancer and Indian Lights are newcomers to note.

Revoir has gone close in Listed company at both Haydock and Pontefract so far this year, but this could go to her stablemate K SARRA. The three-year-old never looked at home on the track when struggling in the Oaks, but she ran a race full of promise when third in the Musidora at York before that and gets another chance. Naga and the Godolphin pair Fashion's Fancy and Tribal Queen are others to consider.

The application of cheekpieces appeared to work the oracle for MILETUS last time. He quickened up nicely once in the clear to score a shade cosily over C&D last month and there could be more to come from James Keane's charge in the headgear. I Still Have Faith drops in class with a shout off his current mark. He could launch a challenge, while Bell Shot and Jumby complete the shortlist.

David O'Meara sends two horses south to Newmarket including YES I'M MALI, second to Golden Long over C&D last time and looking to go one better. He has won off this mark before and warrants plenty of respect with Danny Tudhope on board once more. Fenlander is sure to prove popular after rattling up three wins on the bounce in lesser company and is an obvious danger, while Spring Bloom brings consistency to the table and shouldn't be too far adrift.

Moon Warp steps up in trip on his handicap debut for Sir Mark Prescott and if he is supported in the early markets, he has to be on the shortlist in this small field. Ziggy's Avenger has a win to his name after success at Ripon and wasn't disgraced when fifth at Windsor since, but JOHN HARRISON may have the edge. A running-on third over the Salisbury mile last month, if he gets the trip he could win for the first time here.

Dovey Moon has won four times over a mile or so and showed signs of a return to form in third last time, but he still needs a career-best off this mark and may have to settle for a place. MYTHICAL GUEST hasn't won since 2024 but that latest victory came in a better contest off just 1lb lower and, after a good third at Ascot last week, he could be coming back to form. Astrazar and Elan D'or are others to note.
