UNDER OFFER shaped with promise when third over this trip on debut at Ripon and is entitled to step up on that effort now she has the benefit of the run behind her. Lexington Grace and Neola are similarly entitled to step up on the level of form they demonstrated on debut to take closer order, although bigger dangers may be Enrolment and Miss Dd, both of whom represent trainers capable of readying a newcomer.

OKOOL improved for the step up in trip when landing the silver medal over C&D last time and sets the form standard for the rest of his rivals to beat. Flaming Marvel attracted support prior to finishing third over the extended mile at Wolverhampton in December and is worth a market check now returning from a break, while Chief Craftsman is entitled to build on his debut sixth over track and trip last month and could also figure.

MUSIC LESSON took a forward step when second over 1m at Kempton in November and should be thereabouts from a low draw if running to a similar level of form on her return. Feint showed signs of greenness on debut at Haydock and is entitled to come on for that run, while Alouja is unexposed over a mile and could leave behind a disappointing 7f run at Kempton in November now upped in trip. Any money for John Gosden's newcomer Street Marie would also be notable.

Haraz remains winless after 17 starts but he has made the frame times and, while he is one to avoid for win purposes, he can reward each-way support once again today. ZLATAN looked in need of the run when beaten on his seasonal return over C&D last month but he was progressive last year and can continue on an upward curve this year. Imperial State is another who can make the frame in a race of this nature.

NANCY HART looked sure to improve for the step into handicap company in three starts in maidens and the daughter of Sepoy appears to be on a workable opening mark. Al Nafoorah should make a bold bid to go one better than when a narrow second at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. Do You Know, Elusive Olivia and Tulip Dress are others who make the shortlist for this competitive event.

Mark Johnston's Alexander M went close at Goodwood at the weekend when a half-length second and that may have been his chance gone with the handicapper reacting by handing the son of Mastercrafstman a 4lb rise. Handicap newcomers Glorvina and NATHAN MAYER seem sure to play a part with preference for the Sir Michael Stoute gelding who can step up on his first four-year-old start at Leicester, while local trainer John Mackie's Lunar Jet could improve for the step up in trip having not been disgraced at Haydock.

Ruth Carr has started the campaign in fine form and her BOGSNOG could return to the winner's enclosure here. The seven-year-old was a beaten favourite last time but is returned to six furlongs here having been one-paced over further and is well worth another chance off the same handicap mark. Spellmaker looks dangerously treated off 5lb lower than his all-weather mark and is closely matched with Titus Secret on a line through Go Amber Go who has taken both their scalps. Virile has been consistent lately and needs consideration, while Richard Guest often has winners here and is double-handed in this with the veteran Captain Scooby and the visored Dalalah.
